I wasn't following the board very closely when he got banned. Was there some event that did it, or was it just Meph being Meph? He didn't strike me as someone bound to get the heave-ho.

I know we still haven't locked it up yet, but I'm not worried about jinxing anything: [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo]

Since no one else will do it, I'll defend Joe West there. That was one of the fastest games of the season, and he was hoping to have a shot at breaking the record. Completely practical to attempt to keep the pace of play high... -
I never even really interacted with him even through the interwebs, but reading stories like these are great. Go CUBS.

I might be able to recite that entire routine. ...why did comedy central play that thing on repeat on weekends?

This makes sense. I think Len sounds a bit like me, and I can do a pretty mean "Ernie" impersonation (another Jim Henson voice). Maybe Len is a bit more like Guy Smiley?

Yeah, I think this makes the most sense...although that arm slot stat might be worth looking into, which I'm sure Jake and Bosio are already aware of.

General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread

Yeah they won 90 games despite being outscored for the season. Then kicked our ass in the playoffs to boot. Yeah I remember we were all like 'LOL look at that run differential, we are going to clown these fools in the playof- what the hell we just got swept' 2003 was painful for obvious reasons, but I think 2007 was a little more soul-crushing, personally. -
Can we just make the answer "yes" and lock this thread?

Throwin 102.. hit 103 a bunch vs Angels. I think hes fine. Hes not invincible... get some kinks out and dominate in the playoffs. There is a difference between invincible and unable to throw strikes up 4 runs against crappy left handed hitters, but I'll calm down now.

Is it just me, or does Chapman look kinda injured?

Wiping: Standing or Sitting?

This thread is possibly the best thing on the internet. -
I'm still inexplicably in the bleachers at this game. Can someone explain to me why Russell got pulled in order to have Wood play left and Zobrist play SS in order to have Patton pitch to a bunch of lefties?!

General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread

...that reads like a crazy person screaming at himself in the park, but with less structure. -
I don't think there is any perfect pitcher for Coors. Part of the problem, other than the ball flying out of the park, is that the thin air affects spin and movement on pitches. A guy like Hendricks, who relies a lot on movement, might lose what makes him a good pitcher. And, sinkers are affected pretty heavily, if I recall correctly. I think sliders and cutters are the pitches that work the best in Coors. A sinker/changeup guy like Hendricks might not be able to be his normal ground ball/weak contact self. I thought that the high spin rate pitches like sliders and curves don't work as well there, and change-up pitchers were desirable, but I might well be making that up.
-
That and Hendricks seems like the perfect Coors Field pitcher. No HRs and heavy on the groundballs. His stuff will play there better than most anyone I can think of apart from maybe knuckleballers.

Wiping: Standing or Sitting?
JudasIscariotTheBird replied to OleMissCub's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I voted Squat just because I tend to do it more often as I've matured as an adult, but there are many times and places that standing is preferred, and it holds a dear place in my heart. -
I would love to see the Cubs do a patronizing "2-4-6-8, who do we appreciate?!" at the mound at the end of this series.
