    It's just starting to hit me that the Cardinals and all of their fans get to spend the entire off-season soaking in the fact that they lost to the CUBS in the playoffs. Seriously. How awesome is that?

    Any time you cause Cardinals fans to stop following sports, you had a good day.

    I lost my phone in Wrigleyville last night, and it was totally worth it. I just watched the interview with Theo after the game, and he looked a little bit bombed himself. Could have just been the heat of the moment I guess.

    Guys... what if we win today? What if we take out the Cardinals in the first round? Are there any other teams in the league that you feel like we can't beat? I don't think I'm ready for a world series. I was thinking we could be legit contenders next year, but this is too soon.

    Wait... he never tagged him, did he? Montero should sneak over to first.
  7. Cubbie Swagger
    Montero dong.

    What a bunch of ballplayers. I tell ya.

    Why does it have to be an either/or? It's a question of resources. At the end of the day, great as he is, Chapman is still a relief pitcher. That should put him further down the list in terms of areas the Cubs should be spending their trade chips and money on. Since their bullpen has been pretty damn good and isn't a glaring weakness, there's not a real need to go out and trade for a closer who will then be a FA after next season. I'd want them to look to make other moves in regards to the OF and the starting rotation before they start looking at a relief pitcher. At the end of the day, I don't think there's been enough of a difference between Rondon and Chapman to give up what it would take to trade for him. I agree with all this. I was speaking more long-term. This year, we definitely need to just roll with what we have. We will find out just how solid our bullpen is very soon, hopefully.

    Unfortunately, I don't feel safe with any of those guys on the mound in the playoffs. We aren't gonna win anything until we have an absolute STOPPER down there that we can call on. Pick a closer with better numbers than Rondon. We'll wait for you to come back with that. To be honest, I didn't realize how good Rondon's numbers were until just now when I looked them up. As a result, it has just dawned on me that I apparently have a habit of systematically under-appreciating relief pitchers. I'd still rather have Chapman. And, for the record, there are a handful of closers in the league that have better numbers than Rondon.

    I watch almost every game, and I felt like Rodney had pitched awfully since we acquired him. It seemed like every time he came in, he gave up walks and hits. I just took a look at his stats... and he has a 1.35 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP with the Cubs. What? Where is he sneaking in all these good innings? Maybe I was just focusing too much on his mistakes?

    So... apparently one of my friends is related to Anthony Rizzo. He just realized it when he was snooping around Facebook looking at some of his extended family's pictures. How weird is that? His great aunt is Anthony Rizzo's grandmother. He just sent me this picture of a page from a scrapbook. I guess his great aunt is the person labeled "Marie" in this picture. I apologize if this picture is already all over the internet hahaha.

    My cable signal just cut out. WTF happened?

    All hope was lost for Hendry the day he hired Baker. Agreed. Really? Obviously it didn't work out well, but at the time, I was happy about it. I thought, "Hey, a manager that I've heard of before! What a treat!" I had no idea how fucked in the head he was. I was also in 8th grade.
  17. Cubbie Swagger
    Ramirez and Lofton for Bobby Hill was easily the highlight of Hendry's career.

    I think Bryant is most likely making an effort to not show anybody up, since he's a rookie. I predict he is going to start spending more time admiring his dongs over the next couple years.

    Over the next year or two, I think the Cubs are quite likely to cause me to have a manic episode. Just when you think things are as good as they could get, [expletive] gets better. I can't contain myself.
