    Hard to say that about a guy with a 1.72 ERA, but I hear you. The issue is he still allows very little hard contact so he's usually able to create these jams and then get out of them. I don't disagree with that at all and I think it's a stupid way to feel. I don't care how good you are as a pitcher if you walk guys it will eventually burn you. Of course it will. Just not nearly as often as it would burn pretty much any other pitcher.

    Besides Seager and Story will both make it meaning Addison will get 2 PA max before being replaced. It's unlikely those 2 PA decide whether the Cubs win the World Series or not. Let's just have fun with it.

    I want my all Cub IF. He can come off the bench and get a big hit late so that game 1 of the WS is at Wrigley.

    Why the horsefeathers would they do that?
  8. UMFan83
    I really hope there aren't any suspicious late surges to overtake anyone. Does Addy deserve to be an all-star? No, but horsefeathers it the rest do and I want an all Cubs IF with Dex in center. PS Changed the thread title because I think there were only 2 Royals in the last round of AL results so horsefeathers them.

    Is the mayor of Rosemont still offering to give the Cubs some land??

    total horse horsefeathers because this goes against what Tunney and the city originally proposed and the Cubs accepted. This is exactly how the Red Sox do it with their plaza, so hopefully we can make the best of it (or continue to try to strong arm them into giving in). The Cubs can still open up the plaza and sell alcohol at limited times on non-game days correct?

    Appreciate the detailed reply, that all makes sense. I expected Argentina to win, but in most cases I'm not used to the MNT to be completely outclassed and blown out on the scoreboard. We've certainly been dominated before but we've always been able to do enough little things to keep the score respectable, and the style of play we played last night doesn't seem that different than how we always play against better teams so it seemed a bit jarring, yet not unexpected.

    Come back Dex, Jorge and even Seal Boy

    So I love soccer, watch soccer, enjoy soccer, but I'm definitely not at the point where I can understand nuances in the game so maybe you guys can help me understand better... What is the difference between 2016 Argentina that destroyed us 4-0 and 2009 Spain who we beat 2-0 in a knockout round? I mean I know the Spain result was a fluke, we likely had no business beating them. But regardless of the actual result, we hung with Spain who hadn’t lost in like 3 years prior to that. And this despite doing the typical American hang back and attack on the counter, which is what we have done against good teams for years and still do. But in this game, we didn't belong on the same field as Argentina. So is it.... A) Spain result was the flukiest fluke ever, we should have been creamed, Spain wasn’t taking us seriously, etc B) We are less talented (or at least less cohesive as a team) than the 2009 Confed team C) Wood, Jones and Bedoya suspensions made a big difference D) This Argentina team is so much better than that Spain team E) This result was flukiest fluke ever F) The style of football that Argentina played is less likely to result in fluky results like the Spain game. G) Something else?

    for me it's hard to choose between the broadcast going to great lengths to not point out who (Birnbaum) made the horrendous giveaway on the 3rd goal, or the color guy showering Klinsmann with adulation for only wasting a full half on Wondo before inserting Pulisic into an already decided result I vote for "audio is still 1-2 seconds ahead of the video as it has been for the entire tournament"

    Cardinals are better than the Mets and Dodgers but okay. Only on here is a team with the 4th best run differential in baseball "mediocre". Here they come rising from the sewage to defend their inferior team.
  17. UMFan83
    Not a bad idea. We'd wipe the floor with this team in a playoff series
  18. UMFan83
    We have 7 losses in our last 15 games but 5 of the 7 have been 1 run losses. Terrible luck
  19. UMFan83
    We had runners on in 8 of 9 innings and scored only 3 runs
  20. UMFan83
    2 straight 1 run losses to the Cardinals with 1000 base runners unable to score is about as painful as 2 losses can be in June Oh well cardinals aren't going to make the playoffs so whatever
  21. UMFan83
    Glad to see Russell looking better I will cry if Almora GIDP
  22. UMFan83
    Kinda do for home field in the playoffs SF isnt going away Every playoff series we've ever seen the Cubs win they didn't have homefield advantage. Yeah I kind of enjoy being the consensus best team in baseball and websites creating sub pages to track our run to history but all I truly care about is winning the World Series. I know we are great either way even if it's not in a 116 win way.
  23. UMFan83
    Chill guys Cardinals morons are on here trolling for things to make them feel even better about themselves. Stick to comments about how shitty their little town is and how embarrassing it must be to tell people they live there.

    horsefeathers contact hitters!2!2'snxnfif

    I'd like to see Rizzo run here if the count dictates it but Maddon doesn't seem to be nearly as aggressive
