    Nope but we've had 3 Cubs hit at least 35 in a season (2004 w Alou, ARam and Sammy)
  2. UMFan83
    Not gonna win many when KB and Riz combine for 1-8, 5K
  3. UMFan83
    No shame in winning 2/3 vs the Rangers if that's what happens. But if that's the case I demand 2/3 from the Mets with Lester jake and Hendricks going
  4. UMFan83
    Would that have been a 2 run double if it gets through?
  5. UMFan83
    Will give Lackey credit where credit is due, he's settled down nicely after a rough start in his last 2 outings. I'd prefer he avoided the early implosions but you can't complain with 7 IP 3 ER from your 4th starter
  6. UMFan83
    I know the whole "they are great pitchers so your supposed to struggle" but I'd love to see the Cubs get 4-5 runs off a TOR starter. We did it earlier in the year but since that Nats series we've been shut down pretty consistently (yesterday was promising). Again not the end of the world, but if this is the type of pitcher we're going to be facing 80% of the time in October I want a confidence boost by getting to one.
  7. UMFan83
    And the next guy on 4 straight. Get your horsefeathers together Lackey
  8. UMFan83
    Gotta love going ahead 0-2 on the lead off guy and then walking him on 4 straight pitches
  9. UMFan83
    Can't hit good pitching #randombloggerguy
  10. UMFan83
    I'm not watching, game day says almora didn't score? Edit: disregard it just changed
  11. UMFan83
    He only going 6.2 today?
  12. UMFan83
    Heyward can't get his slugging % past .350, Lackey statistically has been our worst starter. "Revenge of the Cardinals" or "FA is a mixed bag for Theo"?
  13. UMFan83
    I shudder at the fact that we probably see a lot of Richard today
  14. UMFan83
    Alright so all of the pitchers benefited from the much needed rest except Lackey who just sucks donkey balls.
  15. UMFan83
    At least 24 more chances to get a hit
  16. UMFan83
    Ownage. Can't dong if you can't make contact
  17. UMFan83
    If/when Rose is a disaster you get out of his contract in a year. Noah is a little different but I don't think it's something that would get Phil run out of town. Noah is probably done because of his knees but the gamble is that he is only 2 years removed from finishing top 5 in the MVP balloting (albeit before knee surgery), Brings energy and leadership, and worse case is still a very good passing big for the triangle. $18 million sounds insane but probably not among the worst 5-7 contracts given out this summer. And if taking 10 months away from basketball gives his knees an extra boost then it could be a decent contract.
  18. UMFan83
    Clever
  19. UMFan83
    He's done that a couple of times against lefties as javy crushes them. That said I'd kind of like someone who can see some pitches in front of KB.
  20. UMFan83
    On the opposite end of the spectrum, Shields has an era of 2.43 over his last 5 starts. I liked it better when he was the worst pitcher in baseball history
  21. UMFan83
    The lineup that's not going to spend a weekend July afternoon getting no hit by Hamels this time. Hopefully KB got a nice look at that change up at the ASG and is ready to pounce
  22. UMFan83
    They don't want them getting lost in the shuffle of a day that has 10ish games. They can make them on the 2nd or 3rd or something, just not NYE Nobody is going to lose them in the shuffle when they are the only 2 games that actually mean anything. I'm pretty sure there is only 1 bowl game at 3:30 (Rose Bowl) and 1 bowl game at night (whatever BCS game it is). Those can easily be the 2 playoff games and the Rose Bowl can just suck it up and play their game on NYE or the 2nd

    I love blurbs like this. In the first Darvish struck out Rizzo with a nasty slider. In the third with a 1-2 count, Yu threw the exact same pitch, located it perfectly, but Rizzo knocked it into right for a 2 run double.
  25. UMFan83
    So we've at the very least won a series against the team that came in with the best record in the AL with the back of our rotation facing the front of theirs.
