    All the important Cubs are going to suck in their last starts just to terrify you

    Gah that's gonna hurt the slim Cy chances

    Well MasterCard had a special NLDS sale this morning. It didn't give a specific on sale time just that it was today. Sometime between 1am and 8am they went on sale and sold out. Dammit

    Wtf Bryant. You aren't supposed to make outs on the basepaths.

    TT will love this

    I mean honestly who [expletive] gives a horsefeathers? Depends on how much you believe in Heyward's improvement over the last 2 weeks. If you think he's a sub-.700 hitter still you probably don't want him hitting 5th in a playoff game. I've been pointing out how well he's been hitting the ball as of late, but I'm still not 100% comfortable with him hitting as high as 5th. That said, lineup construction still doesn't really matter so overall it's not a big deal.

    Not a big fan of Joe experimenting with Heyward hitting 5th but ok.

    BAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA today's look at Mets refugee insanity. Regarding the Cubs tie yesterday: I mean...wow Not as funny but still....they love to mock NSBB's use of the term dongs: In response, someone call this the post of the year.

    trust me even my photographic memory of despair doesn't care enough to remember any details of losses the last couple of weeks.

    I mean it last happened over a decade ago. I'd say that makes it a novelty. I know, I just don't think its like some cool factoid or anything. It's just a way to call it an official game so the stats count but the records don't change.
  11. UMFan83
    I don't know why people are treating this like such a novelty. I mean I know it doesn't happen a ton but a "tie" is basically a default designation they have to give a called game that's official and the stats count but remains tied and cannot or there's no reason to resume it. If the game meant something it would have been suspended and resumed to completion. And thus concludes today's unnecessary rant.

    The protest would stem from the fact that the umpires didn't get the Reds 30 seconds to challenge the play. The people that timed it that say the refs gave the Reds anywhere from 21-28 second before walking off, and its obvious the Reds wanted to challenge since Price supposedly chased down the umpires To me its a legit protest, but do the Reds really care enough to file one? The 30 second rule didn't apply there. Why? Because it was game ending? What is the rule for challenging a walk off play?

    To me, there's too much chatter about the Cubs defense being the reason for Hendricks (and to a lesser extent Lester) for me to think he will actually win the Cy Young. Holding out hope though. The consensus still seems to be Bryant for MVP which is great because I thought his support was start to fall off following a pretty dismal month of September (by his standards at least)
  15. UMFan83
    Fred was always one step ahead of us
  16. UMFan83
    If you're referring to my roster, was just a joke :)

    Well there's no if anymore. Tie game there's an if. if we win all 3 remaining games. on the flip side if our spring training lineups make it so we lose 2 of 3 in Cincinnati that tie helped us lose less than 60 games.
  18. UMFan83
    Well there's no if anymore. Tie game

    It'd be nice if Addy could start hitting again in time for the playoffs
  20. UMFan83
    I started to respond, but i fear they will ban me if I'm outed as a Cubs fan and I like having access to the search feature so I can search for Cubs related posts, so I stopped.

    Funnier than that is them penciling in all of Syndergaard, DeGrom, Harvey, Wheeler and Matz for next year like it's not big thing lol yup 2005 is going to be great when we add some offense to go along with Prior, Wood, Zambrano and Maddux

    It will be interesting to see who starts tomorrow. You could start someone like Montgomery with 7 days until the first game, but do you want someone who will be a short reliever to spot start so close to the playoffs? Maybe it will be another pen day and an excuse to get all their guys an inning, but a pen day 2 days in a row? The other option is to start someone who won't be on the playoff roster which only really leaves one option and it would pretty much give away that he isn't making the roster. Have fun Cahill.

    Oof, well my Thursday night is free now.

    How about 102-59? [tweet] [/tweet]

    Gotta be PED suspension right? Edit: His official twitter retweeted the suspension and he's posted tweets about other things since the PC announcement so I'm guessing its nothing bad.
