  1. Please stick around and contribute! Ignore the thread about this site blowing.
  2. I want this Dubs Thunder series to be good so badly.
  3. NOMAR! #NeverForget and Matt Lawton I remember this board was super excited that Hendry finally went after an OBP guy for the top of the Cubs lineup. He had a .380 OBP with the Pirates that year. Traded to the Cubs, he then put up a .244/.289/.308/.597 line, was flipped to the Yankees when the Cubs fell out of it and was even worse before getting suspended for PEDs the next season.
  4. I mean he clearly pulled the punch but he still got him really good, and the stills make it look like he was clobbered so I am happy http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UELQkC4lMxw/TwSnyGjSxvI/AAAAAAAADXA/pHOOjrGhvhg/s1600/2006_05_sports_barrett_pierzynski.jpg http://cdn.brosome.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Baseball-Fight.jpg
  5. Well if you believe in regression to the mean, I'd rather read that the Cardinals are hovering around .500 despite still getting average or above average luck.
  6. La Canfora is a joke. He rarely breaks accurate information and his frequent speculation is wrong. He's just spouting nonsense and it's also impossible to know how good the Bears will be. Fair enough, just concerns me when I read something that could be interpreted as chemistry issues because of what happened 2 years ago. But everything I've read about the Bears locker room seems to be positive.
  7. Also, anyone have any idea what Jason La Canfora is talking about here:
  8. Vegas set the Bears O/U at 7.5 wins next year. Maybe I've been beaten down by reading negative Bears predictions for 2016 in the national media, but that seems fairly reasonable. Take the over though. With average luck (including average injury luck), I see the Bears winning 8 at a minimum.
  9. i dont think anyone is drawing meaning to the sports events that happened on their birthday. It's just off day conversation.
  10. No Chicago sports teams played on my birthday, but the Bulls lost the day before and after my birthday and the Hawks lost the day after as well. Yay?
  11. Random guy on reddit so take it with a grain of salt:
  12. [tweet] [/tweet] Shaw was always a long show but is this the nail in the coffin?
  13. I wanted him so bad and was pissed Jimbo only made a token attempt to sign him. Playing the alternate history timeline is dangerous though. You could say we probably don't sign Soriano after the 2006 disaster, but maybe instead we still sign Soriano but don't resign ARam. Maybe 2008 doesn't happen. On the other hand, maybe the Mets don't make the playoffs in 2006, and another team faces the Cardinals in the NLCS and doesn't let them win the World Series that year. Did I say dangerous? I meant fun.
  14. This team is so awesome.
  15. I know how to solve Jorge Soler's unlucky BABIP. Just hit a home run every time. Then he doesn't have to worry about the fielders.
  16. Hahahaha don't poke the bear Cole Seriously that makes my day. Could we be any more in their heads?
  17. So in that stretch of 16 out of 19 home games (reduced to 14) the Cubs went 10-4. Now back to the road where I believe we are 13-3. Weee this is fun.
  18. Geez they might lose 10 games before June 1st
  19. I would trade anything for a Bryant walk off here. I would spend the rest of the day reading Pirate blogs/boards
  20. Who is this Melancon character? Does he have some sort of role on this team? Don't remember seeing him before
  21. 20 games over is the invisible barrier that 10 games over was for much of last year.
