  1. Can't count on historical numbers with RISP every year. Or was it strand rate last year.
  2. Hatrick Kane is back! And that's 4 points for Panarin who came in trailing the 10th place forward by 5
  3. I hate the stupid bonus system in the NHL. Instead of being pumped and rooting on Panarin, it's bitter sweet because every point puts him closer to that cap crippling 1.7m bonus for finishing top 10 in points among forwards.
  4. Random but I can't start the opening day thread this soon: I am scared Joe is not going to take advantage of starting the season with the DH and assemble the Cubs Voltron lineup and start Rat Boy instead as has been rumored instead of Soler. With Lester going game 2 we know we won't see it then
  5. This is the one time having newborns comes in handy. I'll be up no matter what
  6. Suspended 6 games per ESPN
  7. I was in the bleachers that night...felt like a playoff game.
  8. I don't mean to horsefeathers on your memories. Those both give me goose bumps and chills and all that when I watch. But both of those moments are in games the Cubs lost. Have no problem with them being up at the top, but those can't be the most chill worthy sports moments you guys have. Just do us all a favor and make a Schwarber Bomb #1. Water or Scoreboard, I don't care
  9. Just got a chance to go through this...Kris Bryant is the MVP easily with those numbers .295/.390/.583/.973 .327 EQA, 7.3 WAR, 36 HR 125 RBI "only" 171 K, 35 2B
  10. I'd love to see the justification from the person who picked the Brewers to make the playoffs
  11. Jesse Rogers is getting crap for picking the Mets to win the WS as the only Cubs "expert" making picks
  12. ll
  13. Keith declined is in person hearing and will instead do it by phone today. Wonder if he is hearing 5 games as well and is just gonna take it without a fight.
  14. Speaking of Castro 1.029 OPS in the Spring. Yeah yeah spring training/meaningless/sample size I know
  15. There is so much stuff on Cubs Youtube these days. Not as much old stuff but tons of stuff from 2014 and 2015. Pretty much any decent Cubs power hitter has an "All 2015 HRs in order" video out there. [bbvideo=560,315]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2gkcyTvd8M&feature=youtu.be[/bbvideo] But I wanted to post this one, extended replays of all the Cubs walkoffs last year. My favorite part about this (other than Strop running down the line with Bryant) is that at the beginning of the year, a lot of the walkoffs were bloops, bloopers and seeing eye singles. And then sometime around July the Cubs decided 'horsefeathers this we are just going to dong our way into walk off wins' and then every single walk off the rest of the year was on a dong. 2015 Walkoff standings: Castro - 3 Denorfia - 2 Bryant - 2 Alcantara - 1 Russell - 1 Ross - 1 Montero - 1 SzczurMarte - 1 Coghlan - 1
  16. Leitch has the Cubs winning the Central but losing to the WC Mets in the NLDS. http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/169823838/mlb-preview-2016-200-predictions-trout-harper
  17. It is impossible to quantify how much better Wrigley Food has gotten since the Ricketts took over. It wasn't too long ago when your choices were hot dog, polish sausage, hot dog with polish sausage, cold cheese fries, cold slice of connies pizza or pretzel and you could wash it down with old style or bud light.
  18. Only one person in the group even picked the Pirates to make the playoffs which seems crazy. CJ Nitkowski sucks, and I don't care if its one of those 'you suck because you didnt pick my team' things. Keep posting predictions as they come out, this is fun.
  19. [tweet] [/tweet] It's a Blues reporter, but obviously the Blues have an interest in knowing how long his suspension will be.
  20. I'll be honest I don't really know much about draft prospects. Are there several good choices at 11 or is there any chance it would make sense to explore moving down to later in the first round?
  21. I see the video but I'm still not sure I believe Jon Lester can do anything baseball related that isn't throwing a baseball to home plate.
  22. oh no The Committed Indian thinks he will get 7 games. http://thecommittedindian.com/way-run-railroad/ Reading that site over the last month has been quite depressing.
  23. oh no
  24. Revenge porn* prospect, just in case anyone reads that without knowing the background, but yeah, been a rough year all things considered. Wasn't the classiest move by the Hawks to drop the press release reinstating that prospect at around 10:30 last night, essentially on a technicality (was in Michigan where the crime occured, and it's only a felony in Illinois). No suspension or anything that I've seen as of yet. wow revenge rape is a pretty bad brain fart. Yes revenge porn. And yes pretty shitty, especially saying that he was cleared of all charges, which while technically true, is like you said a technicality. And he could still be charged with a misdemeanor in MI.
  25. Between all the winning, Kane's situation, the revenge rape prospect and Keith's occasionally very dirty play, the Hawks are becoming quite hated in hockey fan circles. At least everyone still loves Toews.
