Can this Gore guy take ABs instead of Almora? Sent using my OLD AS DIRT LAPTOP using Keystrokes.

Haha. Glad our camera crew recognizes the awesome.

I like him, but I do not like when he does things against the Cubs.

IIRC Happ is among the fastest guys on the team. Probably but Gore has legitimate 80 speed. I assumed they'd use him to run even for guys like Happ and Contreras in certain spots. But who cares anymore ...but Happ is fast. I assume you just meant that he is easily swapped out so its a Gore spot?

Javier Baez with home run number 30!!! Eat horsefeathers, suck a horsefeather, and sell drugs!

Welp, I didn't get to watch that last one. I was at a pot luck where everyone conversed by talking about the latest score update from whomever was most recently able/permitted to discreetly check their phone. Fun times. I got a request to do Doug, and sure, why not. I watched that show, but other than the names of some characters and "Stash our trash! Beautify Bluffington!" nothing leaps to mind about the show. I think its the most easily forgotten show ever. I can't even find any decent gifs. Just stuff like this: And this, which is mildly amusing in its inanity Best I could get was this one http://www.humoar.com/wp-content/uploads/nickelodeon/08.gif Nothing even CLOSE to as awesome as this, which I didn't use yesterday because I couldn't fit it into a narrative: ...but I would totally sign off on Braun catching one like that. Anyhow, did you know that Cole is currently second in WAR for Cubs pitchers behind Hendricks?! He's already at 1.7, ahead of Monty, Carl, and Cishek, in that order. I don't even know what to say to that. (Fun fact: Rizzo, Happ, and LaStella all have Chatwood beat) But we continue to win, so let's keep donging. I'll do a totally better show, namely, Pete and Pete, and put more time into this if we win this one. That's good incentive, right?

The air is suddenly less stale and carries a kind of excitement again. Every step I take comes with a bounce of vigor. Smiles come easily to my oft-wary face. Finally I can feel complete. The Cubs have won when I started a game thread! I nearly forgot that it was possible to have to start successive versions of these thingies... Despite not wanting to mess with a good thing, I've decided to move on from Ren and Stimpy. Out of solidarity for a lot of young, female animators who worked for Spumco, I'm continuing on to other beloved animated shows of my youth. Oh. I guess all of my cartoon shows were created by perverts. Explains a lot. I've assumed Nola was pretty good from the get go. I'm sure some day he'll be the 5 WAR starting pitcher I imaged h....he's got a 2.10 ERA and he's worth 5.7 WAR already this year?! Seriously? That's ridiculous. Anyhow, Lester and his 0.7 WAR this year is totally going to pull this one out...because Lester plays for the Cubs, and the Phillies are a group of 40 something softball players who take weekend tournaments overly seriously. They can hit dingers, but make cartoonish errors every other inning. Entertaining stuff though. Glad to see Happ have a day! The way things were going, we weren't too far from having a situation on our hands.

I don't remember that episode, so it probably either never aired, or was a part of that revival it had on MTV much later on (which included that ridiculous log on Stimpy's butt and Ren with the strap on saw.

Don't know who this Elfin guy is. I can't even find him on baseball reference! Is he even a real pitcher? Whelp, this whole Game Thread starting thing has really effected me. There are two losses on the Cubs' record and I only have myself to blame. I've been unable to sleep. I've been grinding my teeth in the few moments that I do doze off. BUT, I've heard tell the Cubs might have a presumed-dead baseball player returning to the team today. I've been drowning in anticipation all morning. Cubs, for my sanity and general health, just win! (Spoilered because this board can't handle the sexual propaganda that 90s tweens were subjected to:)

What a relief. I was certain that handler was going to preform an amputation right then and there.

Petition for game thread starters to do a Ren & Stimpy theme some time.

If I had a nickel for all of the times I heard this in 2015, nickels would be out of circulation.

Does this count as a full, entire win?

Almost NFL season: [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo]

Negativity always works! http://crookedtimber.org/2010/09/28/mean-and-regressive/

he kind of spoiled the end of last season I had already seen thhat episode.

I came here to see the final score because I have "a life." This is very refreshing. ...is Len going to give spoilers to Better Call Saul?! Oh, what a tease you are Len!

Like I said before, I'm not used to 2 QB leagues, but based on how they are valued in your league, I think you have to consider keeping three of Brady, Wentz, Smith and Mariota. Also, I know that in keeper leagues that early R1 draft picks aren't as valuable as in standard, but I would at least consider keeping one of Collins and McKinnon and tossing back Zeke, unless you think he's a top 2 RB, which I don't. If it were me, it would be Thomas, Smith, Wentz, Mariota, Collins. I think Zeke's a top 3 RB. He hasn't really been hurt and has been a top back on a per game basis in his 2 years, especially non PPR. Thomas for 9th is a no-brainer. I'd probably only keep 2 QBs, you can always add a 3rd in the draft. Smith and Wentz would be my choices. Collins > McKinnon in non-PPR and I don't like McKinnon's chances of staying healthy with full RB load. I think OP was on the right track. I mean, if you think Zeke is the third best RB (and that's totally reasonable) and I know that Bell is still out there to be drafted...its pretty thin value to be using your pick number five to get who you think should be going at pick three, when INSTEAD you could be getting a QB in round 13 that would otherwise be going in what, round 6? Depending on how much your league trades, you can always trade him...and once again, you might cause a run on QBs when you already have all of your QB needs met! That pays off up and down the draft board for you. I'll put it another way. If you throw Zeke back, who do you think you have to pick from for pick 5? Is that difference in value between unnamed player and Zeke the same as the difference between Mariota and whatever trash is left in round 13?

Bonderman and Colon for me.

Can someone make a Works Progress Administration-style mural of Bote walking off with Cubs doing Cub things at Wrigley in the background? (This is a Win Probability Added reference)
