Sure, but its just weirdly reductionist. By the same reasoning you could say that no games matter very much since its just one game. That might be true, but a game against the team you are competing with for a spot is doubly important, no matter the context of the games that came immediately before and after. On a different note, the difference between losing a 3 game set 1-2 and winning a 3 game set 2-1 is a two game swing in the standings. It's only a 1 game swing..... let's say two teams come in tied in a 3 series the team that wins the series leaves 1 game up, the team that loses leaves 1 game down. Nope, two game swing. Consider the outcome if the opposite happens. You go down a game instead. The difference between going up a game and going down a game is two games. -
At least if it's a three-game series. You're only gaining or losing one game. On the whole it can add up. But the potential is there for a serious shift if you get swept. So avoiding a sweep is usually enough for me to not be too upset. Sure, but its just weirdly reductionist. By the same reasoning you could say that no games matter very much since its just one game.

I do remember Happ pulling a Buckner, but apart from that being literally awesome at 3b.

The Cubs offense has scored 80 runs over the last 10 games, and leads the league in OBP.. The Royals have scored 67 runs over their past 30 games. Wait until the second half nothing, this is easily the best offense in the NL right now. And in the ten games before the last ten, they scored 29 runs. Not very impressive. Which is why my original post stated that "stats really don’t show how awful the offense can be over the course of several games so often this season." It is almost as of the Cubs are not capable of scoring runs at will, and that their massive amount of runs scored over the course of the season are nearly randomly distributed across all of their games! What a joke offsense, indeed!

Oscar de la Cruz Suspended 80 Games
JudasIscariotTheBird replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Maybe he got confused, took the masking agent, and forgot to take his cheat juice? -
I got back from a Costco run in time to watch the 8th. Then after the game I come here and see...this. I get that fan is short for fanatic but damn some of you really need to chill and take the long view.

...off days are brutal.

Saw this over at Bleecubbieblue. I lol'd.

I wish Javy was around for the "wordupthome" era, because you just know the Javy character was going to pop up every week...and you wouldn't even have to exaggerate his personality to make him the best character.

Javy is at .884. Candelario is at .801 Christian Villanueva is at .782

I've begun to notice that games are more enjoyable when the Cubs play well than when they play poorly. Have any analyitics guys been looking at this phenomenon?

Dood...that was slick! Happ for full-time 3B while MVP is out.

Wow. On cue.

Let's close this one out for Yosh. (He died at age 97 today.)

What a big-boy AB from Rizzo there. His best of the season that didn't end in a HR?

I was looking for something along the lines of the Cubs sucking and Maddona movie gifs, and ran into this:

I think anyone can complain about most anything, but depending on the circumstances you are either being very very silly or slightly silly, since this is baseball (which is a sport.)

So, lately Joe's bullpen management has been FAR from efficient. He really needs some inspiration. We all know about his love of Spanish reds by now, so I don't think its too much of a stretch to suggest putting him in an ACTUAL bull's pen. Couldn't hurt the team's ability to make good pitching replacement decisions no matter how it plays out. Anyhow, this is going to be the MLB debut of one Duane Underwood Jr. I've heard of him for a long while now, but I always kinda assumed the name was a pseudonym. Hopefully he has a little more deception in his pitches than Frodo up there did with his travel habits. My kids are refusing to stay in bed so I'm not going to be able to spend a lot of time to dream up a topical or appropriate gif theme apart from just saying: http://i.imgur.com/r54wtyV.gif (A League of Their Own stuff, Hanks gifs, movies that have Madonna or long urination scenes in them, whatever)

Totes. Let me put the kids to bed and I'm on it. It should only take 3 hours or so.
