  1. Remember when the Cubs won a game last year on this "ball" and the Cardinals missed tying for the 2nd Wild Card by 1 game? http://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/2016/08/12/images/mlbf_1040850083_th_45.jpg :lol:
  2. A little bit of it has to be Lackey doesnt it? Not because he did something wrong, just because its Lackey.
  3. The call was [expletive] but I'm more mad at our composure. Or at least Willy's. Lackey we know is a stupid hothead. Willson might get suspended for his reaction plus we lose him for half of the game. That cant happen with 16 games left in a tight pennant race.
  4. But wait, when Wilson does his usual 2 walks to start an inning, that will mean a run scored...
  5. I'm a moron but I never mind being aggressive sending a runner with 2 outs and the bottom of the order due up, unless the OF has a notably good arm. I have no idea if Pham's arm is good, but if its average or below average, there's always a chance of a bad throw.
  6. A little late but in honor of KB: http://madbetty.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/tumblr_mnfzctDgcy1qbleyuo1_500.gif
  7. I have no memory of hitting him well. 2015: 5 G, 5.24 ERA against the Cubs 2016: 5 G, 4.80 ERA 2017: 3 G, 2.25 ERA So uhh....he's gotten better I guess.
  8. The Cubs have actually hit Martinez fairly well in his career, but occasionally he has these lockdown dominant starts against us.
  9. Geez you arent kidding I just looked it up. 3-23 lifetime with 3 singles and 12K.
  10. Lackey might be 0.12% more likable if instead of giving up a run in the first inning every time, he spaced them out a bit, like maybe one start he gives it up in the 4th or something. I know crazy idea.
  11. The first time I saw Mad Men, I thought Betty looked familiar but I could not place her until I watched Anger Management again
  12. Haha Matheny is such a moron. How can you not have Grichuk and his 1 HR a game against the Cubs in the lineup?
  13. This sounds so Derwood-like
  14. I'm very wary about how much Russell can contribute the rest of the year TBH. If his range isnt there because of pain or the risk of reinjuring the foot, then he can't play SS. Plus coming back after 7 weeks off and no rehab (besides the game he played when he reinjured himself) I expect a rusty bat. But I'm happy to be pleasantly surprised.
  15. Cubs just need to go 8-8. There are 5 "non Cardinals/Brewers" games left on the schedule. Even if you win all 5 of them, that means the Cubs went 3-8 against the Cardinals and Brewers. Lets say its worst case scenario and all 3 wins are against the Brewers meaning the Cardinals won all 7 of the upcoming games. If that were to happen, the Cardinals would still need to go 4-4 in their other 8 games to win the division if the Cubs went 8-8 in their last 16. But again that's worst case scenario. A more likely slightly less disastrous scenario (for an 8-8 Cubs team) is the Cubs go 5-0 against Rays and Reds, go 2-5 against the Cardinals and 1-3 against the Brewers. If that were to happen, the Cardinals would have to go 7-2 in their other 9 games, and/or the Brewers 9-3 to overtake the Cubs. Also, the Cardinals and Brewers play a 3 game set the last weekend of the season, so that guarantees that 1 of those teams will lose at least 2 more games. Edit: And on the positive side, if the Cubs go 4-3 against the Cardinals and split against the Brewers, that would put them in a situation where even if they lost 3 of 5 reds/rays games, the Cardinals would have to go 9-0 and the Brewers 10-2 to overtake the Cubs.
  16. Let Schwarbs dong it open early and genital piercing can play the last three innings. True, he's like that lethal striker that is subbed in for the last 30 to put the game away.
  17. FREE ALMORA! Super SSS but whatever, Almora is 4-10 lifetime against current Cardinals with a double and a triple and only 1 K. And 9 of those 10 ABs were against righties (3 were against Carlos Martinez, who he doubled off of for his 1 hit)
  18. I'm so disappointed I can't find a gif of the horse killing Don's father. Would be perfect for a Lackey start
  19. Oh whooptie do Cubs you won 3 games against a AA team. Even with you purposely handicapping yourself by starting Tseng and Davis to make things fair, NOT GOOD ENOUGH Thinking of Lackey's punchable face reminds me of another very punchable face http://24.media.tumblr.com/cc84e93364c120ec82857d57e9b20bf4/tumblr_n2l9e9YmVO1qdqnato1_500.gif Today we take on the satanic fowl and this dude: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2Ruo9ZWAgi4/TrpnajBBkHI/AAAAAAAAAJo/LlqgatuHnOo/s400/Yadier+Molina+tattoo-flashz+06.jpg http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/BettyHairUproxx.gif
