  1. He's been in the majors for like a year man. And I know and I'm asking if based on what we seen do you think he will in general be a streaky hitter?
  2. So is Bryant going to end up extremely streaky for his career? He was awful in July, red hot in August thru mid September and then fell off a cliff the last 2 weeks of the season into October? At least with Rizzo he's been consistently bad for awhile
  3. Last time the CUBS have gotten a 1-2-3 inning: Tue Oct 13 vs STL Go Cubs!
  4. Predictions: which of the Cubs that we've seen so far is playing their last game for the Cubs? I'll go with Hammel, Richard, Wood, Fowler and I guess Baez
  5. I can't decide if it will make me feel better or worse when Fangraphs comes out with an article that shows how the Cubs were the unluckiest team with regards to line drive BABIP (if that's even a thing) in playoff history
  6. Maybe Herrera should get an AB. I don't care if he's not on the roster. The mets will be ok with it
  7. 3 run double. Oh wait no another 110 mph line drive to a met
  8. I'm not even going to make the "we're gonna strand the bases loaded with 0 outs aren't we?" Oops already did
  9. If we adopted the entire structure we'd be battling with the Binghamton Mets in AA instead of the New York Mets
  10. $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
  11. Wow Maybe ski was right about the Cubs being in the wrong mindset. Ross certainly was there.
  12. I will not miss watching the Cubs line out right to Mets
  13. 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
  14. Can we at least get one farewell dong?
  15. 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.
  16. I don't think anyone's forgetting that. I'm head over heels that we are playing baseball on October 21st.
  17. 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
  18. Final tally for Hammel: 1.1 IP, 5 ER
  19. This would be the 6th 4-0 sweep in MLB history where the winning team does not trail the entire series.
  20. 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?
  21. Nope. But we have finished an inning tied in 4 out of the 28 innings!
  22. 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
  23. Was anyone else hoping Soler didn't catch that? I'm terrible
  24. 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
