  1. Really should have checked how many games they had against the White Sox before setting the insurance premium.
  2. I saw Kris Bryant was up with 2 RISP and I planned on turning on the game and hate-watching the AB but by the time I got the game on he had already made his out
  3. Will he be able to go 2 more innings before hitting the 100 pitch marker so he can be in line for the win? He's at 70 through 3
  4. If you would have asked me before I read that, I would have guessed he retired 2 years ago
  5. So wait, its a righty starting and Rivera and Avila are both pretty good at throwing out basestealers, but Rivera gets the start?
  6. Doesn't Milwaukee torment Lester on the basepaths?? I think this was certainly considered for this decision Yes, great point.
  7. Before last season, anytime I wanted to feel pity about the Cubs history, I remembered that its still better than the White Sox, who have never in their history made the playoffs in consecutive years and only 9 times total in 116 seasons. This might/will be 19 for the Cubs since 1901
  8. So they could have started Lackey or Lester tonight, with the other opening the series against Milwaukee and they chose to have Lester pitch this one? We will still win the series, but Lackey, Montgomery, Arrieta replacement is a blah set of starters for the weekend. Any idea who will take the Arrieta start anyways? Rob Z?
  9. Speaking of the Mets, how are their fans feeling these days? Oh ok then, carry on. (sorry everytime the Mets are brought up I have an urge to see how Mets Refugees is doing for shits and giggles)
  10. I remember recently reading about Mike Trout doing it several times in his career...not sure if consecutive.
  11. The Cardinals and their +66 RD are definitely more formidable than the Brewers but making up 4 games with 23 left is difficult unless the Cubs totally collapse. If the Cubs play 12-11 baseball to finish the year, the Cardinals would have to go 17-6 to pass us. And even then the Rockies, with the worst record in the NL since the break, would have to go 15-8 to take any Cubs baseball after game 162 out of the mix.
  12. Also the dumbest horsefeathering series. Game 1 Duke injures Jake and we lose 12-0, Game 2 we blow an 8th inning lead and lose, game 3 we refuse to do anything offensively
  13. We got a solid single and 2 other ABs got to 3 balls, that's worth another 0.5 runs for the Cubs
  14. We got a runner to second that should count as a half run. Cubs are up 0.5-0
  15. Guys maybe we are supposed to use the other game thread
  16. Geez. This is like the 3rd time today I see the Pirates are done batting, I wait what seems like 5 minutes, check the score and the Cubs are already done batting. This offense is in some kind of fun the last few games
