  1. Pirates can really do some damage this weekend in whats left of the divison race, too bad the Cubs own them.
  2. Starting 5 of Rondo, Wade, Butler, Gibson, Lopez in an NBA that has completely shifted towards the 3 point shot, sounds pretty iffy. I don't mind zagging when everyone is zigging but this doesnt seem like smart zagging if that makes any sense.
  3. Lineup predictions? Assuming Fowler plays which is not certain at this point Fowler, CF Posey, C Harper, RF Bryant, 3B Rizzo, 1B Cespedes, LF Zobrist, 2B Russell, SS
  4. Wow it looks like my ~100 votes over several email addresses actually made a difference
  5. Good point Think Addison made it. He's in the opening highlight video on ESPN
  6. Also funny that he's asking ESPN to report his scoop when ESPN has the selection show on their network. Like they are going to leak news from a random blogger to scoop their own selection show minutes before it airs
  7. haven't most of those rondon blown saves been related to the stupid 4 out attempts he's been handed for no good reason? Also, it's been like a week and a half of mattress soiling. I do not think the pitching coach has sabotaged them. lol, I know just venting. Just seems like nothing we've put out there is working during this stretch. Every starter is laboring to get through 5, some are getting shelled, reliable relievers giving up runs, etc etc. I know we'll be fine, just letting off some steam.
  8. Did Chris Bosio get signed by the Cardinals to actively start sabotaging us? I can't think of a single pitcher on the roster besides Hendricks who hasn't horsefeathers the bed these last few weeks. Even Rondon has blown 3 of his last 5 save attempts, which are now infrequent because we are losing too much.
  9. Iglesias in the last 2 series against the Cubs: 5 IP 2 H 2 BB 0 ER
  10. You mean except the cities of Cincinnati and probably St. Louis. And Peralta's family
  11. i thought it would send with a strikeout, not a popup
  12. I was thinking that for sure Heyward's slow starts in the past have all but ended by this point but actually looking at his OPS on July 5th every year, he's definitely lower than any other year in his career but not by a ton 15 - .770 14 - .708 13 - .684 12 - .849 11 - .713 10 - .821
  13. Not a great AB for Contreras there but he's excused
  14. Willson if you come through with a dong in this rather inconsequential July baseball game I will love you forever
  15. Somehow there are 3 teams that are statistically worse at throwing out base stealers than the Cubs who are 15-62.
  16. I hate games where we get into a hole, claw back to within 1 and never quite complete the comeback. So lets, uh, not do it here.
  17. Everyone licks their chops against the Reds pen except the Cubs (conveniently neglecting to remember all the times the Cubs chewed up the Reds pen)
  18. .239/.265/.394 vs RHP, contact switch hitter on deck and Bryant in the hold (miss you fred) I'm not saying I love the bunt there, but I'm guessing that was Martinez's logic
  19. Damn I did not realize how drastic Javy's splits have gotten. vs. LHP 1.012 vs. RHP .660
  20. As much as I hate to give Lackey a compliment, good job battling back and getting to 6 IP without any more damage.
  21. Addy now on pace for 21 HR and 94 RBI hitting at the bottom of the order at age 22.
