    Soler sitting again

    They say Lukaku's a world class player but damn hes got the worst first touches
  4. UMFan83
    Ellsbury with a straight steal of home is so badass. I wish that happened more often
  5. UMFan83
    You're such a dildo. Seriously, this is the kind of tantrum an 8 year old would have

    I can't even imagine what Reds fans think of our team. They are 8-4 when they don't play us, but we've utterly annihilated them almost every single game enroute to 5-0 record. Our offense in particular has completely destroyed ever pitcher they've thrown at us and our starters have basically shut them down as well

    Oh how cute, you guys thought you would keep Fowler off the bases for an entire game
  8. UMFan83
    With an off day Monday I'm guessing we will see him at least once between tomorrow and Sunday no matter what Who would have though Rondon would be a bad fantasy option because the Cubs are too good to get him chances to pitch?

    Congrats to Tommy LeStella on his first MLB hit

    I feel like Fowler, Heyward, Soler and Russell are all getting screwed by bad luck because they keep getting robbed of hits or lining right to people. It's kind of crazy that we hit so many line drives that we have 4 separate people getting screwed
  11. UMFan83
    Yep reverse jinx for questioning his power
  12. UMFan83
    Wtf that is not conclusive at all. I'm really surprised this was overturned

    Cubs to their fans: Here's your drama for the day....and now it's over

    That was so much like the playoff series. Squeeze bunt leads to an error at first and everyone safe followed by another squeeze bunt by the pitcher. If Fowler gets an IF single here and Heyward hits a bomb to CF...

    I'm starting to wonder how much of Javys power went away due to reworking his swing to be less violent. 1 HR in 95 PA between this year and last year. 2 in 110 PA if you include playoffs. I wish I had that article from 2014 that explained how his terrific power was because of the violent swing, but because it was so fast he couldn't control his bat in the zone. By slowing down the swing some it could allow him more control over his swing but would significantly zap his power.

    Seriously. He's as good at sliding as Lester is at pickoff throws
  17. UMFan83
    I thought he wasn't going to head first slide anymore?
  18. UMFan83
    Cmon Addy. We need you to break out
  19. UMFan83
    Great going LEN
  20. UMFan83
    Line out, walk, line out Gimme a break

    Its honestly something worse than shame. You have almost 60,000 posts on a Cubs message board and you claim to have fallen asleep when your teams pitcher is 3 outs from a no hitter. And that game was played in ET, so this was probably 10 PM your time at the latest. I can understand if you have to get up early for work and that requires you to be sleeping before 10, but in your own words, you were awake for the first 8 innings, knew there was a no hitter going on, and still somehow fell asleep during the most exciting part.

    It's awesome that Maddon can take 2 spots on the field, and give 3 guys the ability to play 2/3rds of the time (Javy, Soler, Russell) so it probably feels much like being a full time starter.

    Bettman spoke out about Foley's comments today saying they were off the mark. Also McDonough called him to say that he was not happy with what Foley said. Come on you morons, don't run Foley out of town again.

    It happens in the NBA too. The Warriors-Rockets game was at 8:30 last night, even though Houston's in the central time zone. It just comes with being in the Western Conference -- I don't think it's that big of a deal. As much as I'd like to rag on the NHL for being stupid about something, I don't think they are in this case. Maybe the Hawks should petition to move to the East if they don't like the late start times? Houston is in the central, but Golden State is in the pacific. It makes more sense than a stl/chi game, two central teams, kicking off even later than that basketball game. Plus the NHL is in more need of growing itself. Not only that but this isn't a single game starting at 8:42 for 2 CT teams. 60% of the games in the series have started this late, 2 of the 3 of those late games coming on weeknights. I can handle a single game starting that late, it happens. I can easily handle it if my team is playing a pacific based team.

    I feel like only teams that haven't been known as choke artists and have actually won something can say something that cocky.
