  1. Ouch. 2nd and 3rd and 0 outs with 1-2-3 coming up and we can't punch one home
  2. Coghlan hit last night but yeah debut in lineup
  3. No offense taken. I am haunted by my role in that tragedy everyday.
  4. Jake is angry. Jake doesn't like not winning every game. Jake will take out his anger on these losers who are using the douche power of AJ Pierzynski to put a spell on the Cubs. No more. The power of the beard is too strong.
  5. Is there anything about this 41-18 team you feel comfortable with? Is there no downtrend that you're not willing to completely ignore? Yeah it's amazing that they've put together a 41-18 record, but that's because the SP has masked a lot of the glaring problems. I'm actually more worried about the pitching sustaining a strand rate that is higher than what we mocked the Cardinals for last year than I am the offense which has used up all of the fantastic depth they had in March. But in the grand scheme of things my biggest worries are like a 3 on a 1-10 scale. Yes they've gone like 17-12 since their 24-6 start. But 17-12 is still like 96 win pace over the course of a season. And this is a down stretch for this team relatively speaking
  6. Braves playing screw the closer. That's our game!!
  7. 7 ERA, .300 BA to lefties. Quick 1-2-3. Just one of those games
  8. Are we just facing better pitching or are the scouting reports basically saying don't nibble, just attack them? Just doesn't seem like we are walking at the rate we were earlier in the year. But we probably walked like 8 times last game and I'm just a moron.
  9. Remember that time we made the Reds pitcher throw 49 pitches in 2/3 of an inning? that was fun
  10. Just me or has Bryant been striking out a lot more lately?
  11. http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/4tgAAOSw0HVWD~VP/s-l300.jpg
  12. We've played 2.2 games against the crappy Braves and have struggled pretty much the entire time
  13. I don't know. Not concerned long term but it's difficult to watch him struggle
  14. Especially ones that will remain nagging the rest of the year like backs and hammys Plexiglass principle!
  15. Are we doing individual threads for individual Cubs related trade rumors or just using this one? https://twitter.com/JulieDiCaro/status/741374070898364416
  16. how can one hate a team where Darwin Barney led in WAR (4.6) ? I had no horsefeathering clue Darwin Barney had a 4.6 win season. That is simply beyond the realm of comprehension even if 2/3rds of it was defensive. We should have sold high on him instead of making him 'part of the core' temporarily.
  17. That's not a certainty if he's a Cardinals fan.
  18. Actually even worse, I looked up the Cubs game on April 23, 2012..... a 3-2 Cubs walkoff win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Yep, we drafted a Cardinals fan.
  19. I remember when Samardzija was drafted by the Cubs, his MySpace page (yes MySpace) had a bunch of Anti-Cubs pictures on it. He turned out fine.
  20. If you believe Kaplan on twitter, that Schwarber-Andrew Miller thing wasn't just made up. Apparently the Yankees proposed it, and the Cubs said no.
