Petition to sign Rafael Soriano
SouthSideRyan replied to David's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
-We're at a position where extra wins are the most valuable. -We're at a point where wins are the most costly to acquire. -All he costs is money. -Isn't WAR for relievers pretty shitty? -2nd half ERA?? -

I don't know; the 5 ER he's given up have been in 2/7 games. Other than that, I'll take his 0/10 BB/K and 1.05 WHiP through 6.2 IP. That's how relievers work. -

Who are you again?

That is a very difficult to read graph, but it would really seem pretty obvious. This is a full on bored Kyle troll.
-
So you'll have to be at least 12 for entry?

When did Arquimedes Caminero become one of their best relievers?
-
to that end. What could work is a video montage of several Cubs (mostly) legends leading the stretch edited together, and maybe one clip of Harry at the end with the let's get some runs part. Yes, this. Fit in the various other Cubs announcers besides Harry who have done it, too. Harry: "alright, let me hear ya...a-one, a-two, a-three..." *other Cubs legends stretch montage* Harry: "1-2-3 strikes you're out at the old ball game, let's get some runs" seems about perfect I thought they did a commercial like this, but can't seem to find it.

She was something else.

Or because of the weird dimensions of PNC, Joe feels that LF is harder to play there. Whatever the case may be at least KB has a cannon if there is play at 3rd Would he have less of a cannon if there is a play at other bases?
-
Probably? I'm fine with Bryant in CF, but was kind of surprised at the lack of response to pulling one of our best hitters so Travis Wood can pinch run, and only then when it became a 3-2 count. that's always justifiable to me, because if we reach the point where that matters it's a good thing, but i realize that might not be the most nuanced way to view the situation I get that it's worth pulling out the stops to get a tie because if you don't then the game's over anyway. But my opinion is the odds of a specific outcome in Bryant's(+) PA(s) resulted in Wood scoring(i.e. a specific double or BB followed by a specific single to score Wood only), but not Rizzo were so small as to not cancel out the risk of running a pitcher out to LF, along with whatever tradeoff you do to Bryant by stopping the game to sub Wood at 3-2

mostly 'cause he's dead the idea of these brain dead morons needing their patron saint to lead them through the stretch cause he somehow truly encapsulated what it was to be a cub fan and experience wrigley is just disgusting. Cause he's dead it's ghoulish? Is it ghoulish to play We Will Rock You at a sporting event cuz Freddy Mercury is dead? Are they blowing Freddy up to 100 times his size on the jumbotron and genuflecting toward him? Yep, it's not quite on the level of a dead Bob Shepard announcing Jeter, but it's kinda weird.

Addison Russell is awesome and deserves a thread
SouthSideRyan replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I agree with this. His walk rate is concerning, he has played all of 2 weeks at 2B. Just because Herrera is complete trash doesn't mean Russell couldn't have benefitted from 100+ more ABs at AAA. Just because Russell would benefit from 100+ more ABs at AAA, doesn't mean you keep him down at the expense of the major league team. -
Yeah, I loved Steve Stone and Mark Grace too
-
lol, if Bryant is our long-term CF, I can't even.

He's the best option for winning right now too. -
Dahhhh dude he was just like all of us, just loved the Cubbies since birth, liked to get drunk would be sick with every loss.
-
I know they have polled STH. I remember answering some questions. I can't say for sure that they asked about the stretch, but I would not at all be surprised to be told they did. I just can't remember. It seems like something along the lines of the stuff that was asked, though. Yep, I'm pretty sure I saw this as well.

He started his own blog Goat Riders of the Apocalypse which appears to have stopped posting after the 2012 season.

To make a chain for Soler.

Hosak tended to lose his [expletive] mind at my mere presence. It was awesome.
-
He of the .350 OPS? Seriously, you're going to pinch hit him over Jason Hammel's 1.125 OPS?
-
I'm with goony. Duchie would probably make us pay her every time we used it too.
