    I rarely get to see the Cubs apart from once a year in Coors field, so these two are the ones that stand out: Sosa hit 3 3-run HRs in back to back to back innings, and then Dusty killed all the fun by pulling him from the game for no reason at all: http://a.espncdn.com/mlb/news/2002/0810/1416636.html And Fowler pwning Hawkins a few years ago (strange that Pat is more excited here than in the entire playoff run last year): [bbvideo=560,315]http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/11493214/v71531283/must-c-clutch-fowler-hits-goahead-homer-in-the-9th[/bbvideo] Also, I brought a friend to a game who knew nothing about baseball. Late in the game someone hit a meaningless HR. My friend didn't know how to handle the roar of the crowd, so he threw his seat cushion onto the field. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/baseball/fans-toss-cushions-on-to-field-1.393725 Also of note, Prior went yard (oppo) in that game, his first HR, and I totally called it just before he hit it.

    7 WAR. Book it.

    30 minutes ago: I forgot it is not possible to shoot the breeze about things on this website everyone must have their armor up and their guns out. Dang. :roll:

    http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/j-d-martinez-debunks-conventional-wisdom-thinks-a-tipping-point-is-near/ LOL, I love the part where they're like "but Max Kepler doesn't agree." Oh. Can we get Max Kepler in here to let us know his thoughts on Heyward's new swing? Inquiring minds!

    I suppose that those dudes should be allowed to do whatever they want, but that stuff is just so childish. I'm not surprised at the names of players who stuck up for the practices. And while dressing up the newcomers as cheerleaders might be fine in a vacuum, it is going to get emulated by kids (which Arrieta hints at), and I think most of us here have seen how swiftly out of hand things like this can get. Simply no need for it.
  6. JudasIscariotTheBird
    THAT is the part that I'm concerned about. Maddon isn't admitting that he completely horsefeathers the bed in games 6 and 7. You can't learn from mistakes if you aren't recognizing their existence. Yes. We won the World Series. We were and are all very very pumped. But this board never stuck me a completely results-oriented, ends justify the means, stick-with-what-got-you-there hug fest. Are we seriously going to just repeat "we won the World Series" when Maddon very nearly kept that from happening with gross over-management?
  7. JudasIscariotTheBird
    "The manager won some games for the Cubs last season with his mad-scientist mixing and matching, but he almost killed a dream season – and his reputation – by overusing Chapman in the World Series. That he refuses to say he was wrong should make Cubs fans nervous going forward." Can't disagree with that one, myself.

    I'm confused by this stance. Is it because: 1) You don't want the Mets to have an additional asset. - meh, I'm not really threatened by the Mets, but I can see not wanting good things for other teams. 2) Not wanting athlete's of other sports thinking they can just "pick-up" baseball. - as long as you felt the same way about Jordan, I'm ok with this. or is this 3) or simple dislike of Tim Tebow? - I don't understand those who feel this way. Some people over-rated him/He got too much attention for his talent level, but I didn't see him do anything worthy of the hate some people have for him. I don't have any particular love for Tebow, but I don't wish him any ill will. not wanting him to make the majors isn't exactly hoping he dies of cancer tomorrow. jesus, the guy went to college for free and played in the nfl. he doesn't need anyone's sympathy. Try not being a Kanye fan in the music thread...

    Indians showing some new WS celebration footage I've not yet seen. If only the rest of our central rivals were as decent as the Indians' TV crew. ...although, how could they have not known the ball hit the camera on that 8th inning HR?! There was even a lego version of that I saw.
  10. JudasIscariotTheBird
    I missed the first two ABs Heward had...but that third AB was p1ss poor. Javy is spraying the ball all over. Baez man. Baez.
  11. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Baez is going to be a 4-5 WAR player THIS YEAR if they let him play 2B every day. That was sick...and routine for him.
  12. JudasIscariotTheBird
    As soon as I saw and heard the contact, I started laughing maniacally. Apart from game 7, this or the Montero grandslam were the moments of the playoffs for me. Not even in the top 20?!
  13. JudasIscariotTheBird
    If I had won the World Series, I would have done the exact same thing. Maybe would included a little image Derek Law crying just under the S in CHAMPIONS. Just saying.
  14. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Had to listen to this on the radio because of work and it's a wonder I didn't crash my car with all the yelling and fist-pumping I was doing. That comeback was such a unique sports feeling. The actual game was like a depressing kick in the nuts and for worthless pessimists like me, I was already over the game for an hour or so and mentally preparing for a do or die Game 5 when all the sudden we went from that to 'oh yeah the series is over' in the span of 20 minutes. I mean Game 7 had a similar emotional roller coaster to a greater degree of course, but this was more like I was dreading having to wait 2 days with my stomach in knots for this do or die game and then all the sudden the weight is completely lifted. I think I'm pretty even keel, so I was spending some effort trying to make bets with various irrationally pessimistic Cub fans... :twisted:
  15. JudasIscariotTheBird
    It's a real shame that a majority of people won't think to themselves "man, what could have been!" in that game 7... ...are you serious?!
  16. JudasIscariotTheBird
    They already did Montero last year. If you want pain, you can just watch drunk Bill Murray interview J-Hey in the clubhouse after the World Series on a loop.
  17. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Schwarber wears number 12 and was out 4 months. 12x4=48. but it was actually a little more than 2 months more than that and 48-2=46 holy. horsefeathers. And take back one kadam to honor the Hebrew God whose bat this is.
  18. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Rizzo's got some nice gams, and his hair looks MUCH better there than the previous N'Sync-era Timberlake look he was seemingly rocking before. Bryant needs to make some fat stacks off of a Proactiv endorsement, stat. http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Chris-Farley-Sunglasses-Flip-Shock.gif
  19. JudasIscariotTheBird
    i'll never understand how this is allowed. Its because they have always allowed a pitcher's foot to leave the mound for an instant before they release the ball to the plate, so long as it was a part of their natural throwing motion. That slippery slope situation has lead to...this atrocity.
  20. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Sad trombone! http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/18684594/st-louis-cardinals-pitcher-alex-reyes-sore-elbow-mri

    Hendricks and I share equally pale and spindly legs. Neato. Also, that photo with what looks like Strop in the rear-view reflection is a really really good photo.
  22. JudasIscariotTheBird
    Schwarber in a cage, listening to rage. Hell yeah. This is a badly needed Spring Training.
  23. JudasIscariotTheBird
    :shock: I cant believe I just watched that whole thing. What a sad sad man. Yeah, that makes zero sense. Even if sports were in fact scripted, it's quite an assumption to think that the orchestrators of said plot would leave all these clues for this dingleberry to figure out. Just like the Bond villians explained their plan while he frees himself from restraints. Oh well, that guy is a maniac. Though I might make a bet on his next pick if the odds are right You wouldn't think it, but modern-day Nostradamus is really chalky.
  24. JudasIscariotTheBird
    I think we see Zobrist for about 40 games in RF this year.
  25. JudasIscariotTheBird
    This is my favorite thing. By a lot. Thank you SO much!
