  1. Sucks that it's supposed to be 79 today and 81 tomorrow but then Friday it's only 68/48 and Saturday 64/50. Guess Soler isn't making the roster after all
  2. I made that noise, too, except I was trying to swallow the freakishly large boner that cover gave me because I'm not afraid of stupid baseball things. It's a pretty badass cover. I think I might actually buy one.
  3. Yeah but then you open the possibility that advanced scouts from Giants/Mets attend. Not sure if there is anything really secret that the Cubs are doing but Jake could be working on some stuff, etc.
  4. https://twitter.com/CarrieMuskat/status/783411079640645632 Not sure if this tips their hand on the postseason roster for the NLDS but I'm assuming its a priority to keep him sharp in case one of the 4 starters is injured and the Cubs advance and reset their roster.

  8. Can The Logan just start the game thread now for NLDS specific discussion and then edit the title to reflect the opponent after Wednesday?
  9. Random but the Cubs 9th inning comeback in this game moved the Reds from the 7th pick in next year's draft to the 2nd pick. When the Reds version of Kris Bryant is killing us in 2020, you can thank Szczur, Kawasaki and co. Edit: Just kidding I'm sure they will blow the pick
  10. Cool article about how Wrigley changes as the weather turns in October http://www.hardballtimes.com/the-physics-of-october-baseball-in-wrigley/
  11. I just did that exact config (Boston OF, Cubs IF, Cubs Starters, Posey, Ortiz, Indians Pen and got 100% 100.0% YOUR SCORE 71.7 WAR TOTAL Your team will sweep the World Series! Congratulations! You built the best possible 2016 playoff team -- at least in pixels. There's a reason they play the games, as they say, but your team is so good it's clearly bound for October glory. Your prize: a Fall Classic sweep.
  12. I just did one that said I would get swept in the LDS. Dammit now I have to look through to figure out who i picked, hang on.. Edit: Jays OF Nats IF Orioles SP Giants pen Indians C Jays DH 28.8% YOUR SCORE 32.6 WAR TOTAL Your team will get swept in the LDS
  13. Boston IF Cubs IF Cubs SP Orioles DH Giants C Cubs Pen 84.3 % 63.1 WAR Lose Game 7 WS Edit: Not sure why I went for Trumbo over Ortiz
  14. Lets play like the last time we played the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.
  15. Updated Standings: http://i.imgur.com/duieDz1.png
  16. Didn't TLR basically hitch himself to Stewart in a 'if you fire him, I am gone too' sort of thing? If so that's hilarious because 1) Either TLR fired him while retaining himself or 2) Someone about TLR fired Stewart and TLR isn't going to follow through and resign himself. Of course if news is still trickling out, TLR might be getting the axe as well.
  17. David's gonna miss game 2 as well unless Kim gets robbed again.
  18. My league is 2 QB league too but PPR. Usually 130 gets you a win 75% of the time. I've scored at least 147 points in every week this season and lost every time. The last 2 weeks I will have scored 187 and somewhere between 165-170. I just looked it up, if I played every team in my league in every week and scored my LOWEST point total of the season in those games, my record would be 22-22. I'm either 2 or 3 in average per week but am 0-4. It's only an 8 team league and 6 make playoffs. 1 of the teams is trash so I am sill very much in it if I can go like 6-3, 7-2 the rest of the way. I also get Brady back this week. So I've been putting up big points with Flacco, Tyrod and Marriota as my QBs I'm glad I'm not alone in this. I am in a 12 team league and 8 make the playoffs, but I am already going to be 2 games out of a playoff spot despite having scored the 2nd most points in the league to date.
  19. MLBN always gets a couple of playoff games regardless of whatever else is going on. They did last year too but both of them were AL games. No way they blackout the playoffs, right? Huh? Why would they do that when they are the only network in the country broadcasting the game?
  20. My league is 2 QB league too but PPR. Usually 130 gets you a win 75% of the time. I've scored at least 147 points in every week this season and lost every time.

  21. Game 2 starts at 7:08 CT on Saturday.
  22. I'm guessing he knows the Cubs postseason roster already and 3AM isn't on it.
