    Maybe Herrera should get an AB. I don't care if he's not on the roster. The mets will be ok with it
  2. UMFan83
    3 run double. Oh wait no another 110 mph line drive to a met
  3. UMFan83
    I'm not even going to make the "we're gonna strand the bases loaded with 0 outs aren't we?" Oops already did
  4. UMFan83
    If we adopted the entire structure we'd be battling with the Binghamton Mets in AA instead of the New York Mets

    $0. It's really not as fun if you paid to make it happen. Plus they shouldn't need my money to win it. We have the talent, front office, infrastructure, etc to be a dominant force. We will win one. Maybe in 5 years we will be like "haha remember when we thought we'd be good for a long time with our young talent, just like 2003". But I doubt it

    Wow Maybe ski was right about the Cubs being in the wrong mindset. Ross certainly was there.
  7. UMFan83
    I will not miss watching the Cubs line out right to Mets
  8. UMFan83
    So wait, he gets hit but strikes out anyways because the umpire wrongly said he swung? We have played terrible but the umps haven't made it any better
  9. UMFan83
    Can we at least get one farewell dong?
  10. UMFan83
    Absolute poppycock. You really believe this is the best the Cubs can do? I mean... a lot of it is [expletive] luck and poor timing. But I also believe they're putting their heads down when the going's gone tough instead of saying '[expletive] this [expletive], we can do better.' Just look at the Royals this year and last. None of this is quantifiable, but I believe mindset is huge and does make a difference. Not the only thing that matters, mind you, but as bad as we've looked this series, you can't say this is the best we've got. God do you really believe this? Maddon is like the best manager in baseball at making sure the players are in the best mindset possible.

    I don't think anyone's forgetting that. I'm head over heels that we are playing baseball on October 21st.

    Assuming this game goes like we expect, the Cubs will have trailed at some point in 34 out of 36 innings in the series. Only innings we didn't trail at all were the 2nd and 5th innings yesterday
  13. UMFan83
    Final tally for Hammel: 1.1 IP, 5 ER
  14. UMFan83
    This would be the 6th 4-0 sweep in MLB history where the winning team does not trail the entire series.
  15. UMFan83
    Does anyone else think Hammel was so pissed that he got traded 3 months after signing with the Cubs last year that he made it his mission to re-sign with the team and then sabotage their season with poor play?
  16. UMFan83
    Nope. But we have finished an inning tied in 4 out of the 28 innings!
  17. UMFan83
    It's just so frustrating that the Cubs gave up a 1st inning run in 7/8 NLDS and NLCS games. Hard to win a World Series when you trail in every single game
  18. UMFan83
    Was anyone else hoping Soler didn't catch that? I'm terrible
  19. UMFan83
    Yea, because one [expletive] pitcher would have turned this whole series around. It wouldn't have hurt? But that complaint went out the window when every single SP acquired except Happ and Price were not good. We were in talks for Ross but SD wanted the moon for him
  20. UMFan83
    Why is it when the Cubs go to the playoffs, it always has to end with a comedy of errors and bad play?
  21. UMFan83
    Well thanks for being a part of getting Russell and McKinney.
  22. UMFan83
    I guess I didn't say "don't allow 4 runs"
  23. UMFan83
    Was this part of the Red Sox script
  24. UMFan83
    Small victories would be 1) don't allow a run in the first inning 2) get a lead off hitter on 3) get a lead, any lead!!
  25. UMFan83
    Rookie of the Year was awesome
