  1. If they played this series 500 times, the Cubs probably sweep them 350 of those times. So yeah it shouldn't happen, it just does all the freaking time. I'm sure the 2001 Mariners lost a series to a horsefeathers team, I'm sure the 98 Yankees did as well.
  2. I can't tell if this ump has an abnormally large zone, or if it just feels that way because this Guerra dude has been hitting the corners of the zone consistently all game and it just seems like the zone is large because of all the called strikes.
  3. you are more than welcome to, you just sound stupid. It's one thing to lament at being in a slump, its another to act incredulous that this is a possibility. Ski, don't let these [expletive] get to you, you have every right to complain when they play like [expletive], part of being a fan is caring when they are sucking. We should be destroying the [expletive] Brewers, and the Padres and the Braves for Christ sake. Yes complain all you want, you are more than welcome to. And everyone else will continue to point out how stupid it is to complain about a 4 game offensive slump from a team that is 2nd in the MLB in runs scored and is on pace to win more games than any other team in baseball history.
  4. LaStella is a K machine ok maybe not a machine, but he's struck out more than he was earlier in the year.
  5. Jimmy Nelson's ERA is between Gerrit Cole and Cole Hamels, he is a good pitcher. Even if they were all terrible, this is baseball, these things happen. Please proceed to get a grip at your earliest convenience. Okay - this isn't a fullblown meltdown here. I'm allowed to express mild disdain when our offense goes on a three-game slump against three pitchers who combine for league average performance, just like any other user. you are more than welcome to, you just sound stupid. It's one thing to lament at being in a slump, its another to act incredulous that this is a possibility.
  6. I'm more annoyed that, against three mediocre pitchers in a row, they've all had their one of a handful of good starts they'll have all season. Wtf cares, it's baseball. It happens. We've also crushed pitchers like Gerrt Cole, Zach Greinke, Gio Gonzalez, etc. it's 162 game season, I'm not sure how you cannot somehow get some perspective about 3 games in May.
  7. That guy has been such a pest this year against us
  8. Dude he's not throwing knuckleballs out there Miggy
  9. Watching Ross's stellar performance behind the plate yesterday and then Miggys today is quite a contrast
  10. Miggy throws to 2nd on a walk, guy ends up at 3rd. Come on man
  11. Ahh so that's why he's so good against the Cardinals.
  12. Now that Jorge is awesome again, I can fully embrace him and deny ever suggesting he ever go back to AAA to rebuild confidence.
  13. I know there was a 3 week injury in the middle of this sample size (UMFan strikes again) but after a white hot first 6 games of the season, Miggy is hitting .067/.263/.067/.330 since April 15. Of course that's just 38 PA over 11 games.
  14. First go-ahead bases loaded walk to a pitcher in extra innings since 1996 [tweet] [/tweet] [tweet] [/tweet] In Eaton's case, they were down 4-1 when he walked in the 14th to bring in a run. The next batter hit a walkoff grand slam. Funny thing is, this is the last thing Adam Eaton did as a big leaguer, he never appeared in a game again (until he shrunk and became an OF for the White Sox)
  15. Keep up the seemingly unsustainable peripherals Hammer
  16. Here's the part where you think you are going to make it out alive and they bloop a single isn't it?
  17. Ahh yes the fly ball to the deepest part of the park. I'm going to bed. Go Cubs
  18. Do we even have a good position player left that can pitch or are we going to pitch Richard until he blows it or his arm falls off?
  19. Hope the first 3 guys can get a run home on their own because the 4th guy will be a pitcher.
  20. Speaking of luck.... Come on strop get this guy
