  1. Wait. I don't think so, right? Our offense just started to come around this time last year. One year ago yesterday was the Bryant HR game against the Rockies. We lost one year ago today and then started our second half surge the next day
  2. Predict when Chapman will have his first save opportunity
  3. I'm sure we'll get a hit the second time around the order against the guy with the 17 era
  4. Oh look here's the .200 hitter in a spot that requires a hit
  5. Make it happen, Jed! Oh and still land a SP I don't think it's necessarily saying the Cubs are talking about Bruce or Cargo just that those guys plus Reddick, who the Cubs are talking to, are guys expected to be shopped
  6. Dammit I was hoping Bryant would just decide to never slump again
  7. Sale for Schwarber, Hendricks, Happ and Candelario. hard pass I'm not saying I or the Cubs would do it but that seems close to the value the Sox are willing to give him up for.
  8. Chicago media on Twitter killing him for the no comment
  9. https://twitter.com/CarrieMuskat/status/75839191878708019
  10. I bet Joe says something like 'look Willy started 34 games in a row, he's been a warrior for us. you know this is really the first time he's had a chance to rest since getting called up so we're giving him a couple of days to just breathe. he'll be back in there tomorrow'
  11. I think he needs a little more time to bake. His line between AA and AAA during his rehab assignment: .118/.200/.118, 2 BB/9 K, in 20 PA
  12. ESPN article on Heywards luck. The article then goes on to explain it might be misleading because of launch angle which we've discussed recently, but he does seem to be quite unlucky as well.
  13. I think the Baseball Gods demand a sacrifice from NSB to allow the Cubs to resume winning. Someone needs to be banned, or Da Bum has to be unbanned
  14. Dan Haren talks about getting traded to the Cubs last year. I have this picture of Haren pitching a good game and then getting angry after checking FanGraphs the next morning to see that the gap between his ERA and FIP got higher.
  15. Some historical perspective. Cubs record through 99 games vs. recent winning Cubs teams 2016 - 59-40 2015 - 52-47 (7 GB) 2008 - 58-41 (1 GB) 2004 - 53-46 (6 GB) 2003 - 50-49 (9 GB) 1998 - 55-44 (4 GB) 1989 - 55-44 (4 GB) 1984 - 56-43 (3 GB) 1969 - 62-37 (3 GA) Best record through 99 games since 1969
  16. If the Cubs lose any more games this month it will be the Cubs first losing month under Joe Maddon
  17. Theo built us and now he destroys us
  18. Well we won't have the BP Cup yet again boo hoo
  19. Will it matter with Heyward and Montero due up?
  20. I love how the Sox are making Shields throw 120 pitches just to stick it to the Cubs
  21. Damn 0-7 w 6k and a foul out against shields
  22. Reached 19 games over at 27-8. About to still be there 64 games later. This team right now is very capable of not winning 90 games. more concerned about 12-20 over past 32 games if we lose tonight. That's 20% of the season playing at a 61 win pace. Even our fresh start after the ASB is now just 6-5. I know I've overreacting though. Just a ton of frustration lately.
