  1. Our runs: dong, dong, super dong Their runs: inexplicable error, perfectly placed IF hit by the pitcher and sac fly
  2. Lmao. MLB network broadcast was interviewing Syndergaard on camera when that was hit and... https://twitter.com/sportsfunhouse/status/875144198340706304
  3. Damn I missed it. Is 467 feet longer than the one he hit in the NLCS against Harvey? (I think it was Harvey)
  4. Other reasons why that sucks: extra pitches for a pitcher on a low PC
  5. Wow Bryant. Wtf? Does he have money on Bruce scoring a run tonight? Because he did everything possible to make that happen.
  6. So Rizzo has led off like 4 times including spring trading and he's homered in 3 of those occasions
  7. That is the question. And if we were playing today's rules, would the Bulls have time to prepare and adjust for a style of basketball they've never seen or played? They've never played in an NBA without hand checking, illegal defense, teams built around 3 point shooting. How much more space would Jordan have to drive and create offense without hand checking? How much less space would Curry/Thompson have to launch 3's with hand checking in place? I am thinking the Warriors would be more talented, but the meatball in me defers to Jordan's relentlessly brutal competitive streak. Give him time to prepare and the Bulls have a good shot. If there's someone who could "shut down" Durant for a series, it would be Pippen IMO which allows MJ to guard Curry or Thompson. Then again, if there's no hand checking, Durant still goes nuts. It would also be fun to see Rodman vs. Green/Zaza. I think Harper would guard Curry. He was a noted good defender even in his Chicago years and was tall and long enough to do as good a job as anyone on Steph. No one is shutting him down but Harper might be the most adequate on the Bulls. If Harper fails, MJ then goes on him and attempts to savagely tear down his confidence and makes it his personal mission to stop Curry. Yes, giant homer here :)
  8. Completely different styles of basketball. Are we playing by today's rules or the 1990's rules? That is the question. And if we were playing today's rules, would the Bulls have time to prepare and adjust for a style of basketball they've never seen or played?

  9. He can strike out 4 times a game if he hits a grand slam the 5th time
  10. If the current scores hold the Cubs are in first place again tonight lol. Though the Cardinals are starting to play good baseball again so there's a chance we might not be able to make the playoffs at 81-81
  11. He probably got the injury from punching Lackey
  12. Right it's not like they have an absence of MIs or even multiposition guys. I could be wrong but he's not exactly been tearing it up at the plate either.
  13. I knew when I saw this thread bumped that there was going to be bad news. Been that kind of season for the Cubs (not necessarily injuries just things going wrong in general)
  14. I love how in my mind I think "Heyward is fixed" when in reality his OPS is barely above .700
  15. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/scott-darling-goodbye-chicago/ Good read and dammit now I really wish he was back on the Hawks.
  16. Not so fun fact: My brother-in-law's name is Alex Lange.
