    It's so great how much value Javy has brought. After last year and how frustrating it was to see him struggle, so far he's reinvented himself as a slick fielding doubles machine.
  2. UMFan83
    He's not making it easy on himself that's for sure

    It's like every single player is making their case for making the playoff roster. I love it.

    I would have rather had our last 6 games at Wrigley with an excited crowd and great atmosphere than these dead ass ballparks. We're going to go from this to a playoff atmosphere. I guess this weekend should have a healthy contingent of Cubs fans to liven up the stadium.

    Nothing excites your fans about a new video board more than choosing Conor Gillaspie (who doesnt even play for the Sox anymore) to appear on your rendering which uses a photo of a 1/3rd filled ballpark.

    I'm not sure how much of an effect it had but either way it was stupid and made our fans look bad.

    It looks very unlikely we will be able to catch the Pirates and play the WC game at Wrigley...their final series is against the Reds. Can't see them losing 2 out of 3 to that team. I like the idea someone mentioned of how Cubs fans being able to watch the Cubs win that game on the screens at Wrigley might exorcise a bit of the terror they displayed constantly in 2007 and 2008. I think winning the Wild Card game, regardless of location or where it's being watched, will loosen the fans up. it will be like winning a playoff round, regardless of the fact that it's one game.

    One more out to tie 1989's win total and ensure we do not lose 70 games

    It's really [expletive] bizarre. Nobody was expecting anything much better than, "hey, maybe he won't embarrass himself now that he lost his fulltime job." Obviously he's out of his mind this month, but holy [expletive], if the middle ground between this and August is based on him making adjustments at the plate and something he can actually sustain...yikes. I think the middle ground would be last year's Castro, which was pretty damn good. Last year's Castro in this lineup is scary.

    Much better than previous season dilemmas like "Will it look super obvious we're trying to lose if we make Bryan LaHair our starting first baseman?"
  11. UMFan83
    Who else should I reverse jinx? Boy, the search for a cure for cancer is in such a funk right now.
  12. UMFan83
    Jesus Christ he is red hot. What a strange but ultimately satisfying season for Castro.

    the pirates aren't starting liriano Why not? It means David Ross and Schwarber, Coghlan, Montero sitting Well for one, because Cole is already on schedule to pitch that game, Liriano is not. But mostly because the Pirates aren't going to sit one of the 10 best pitchers in the NL in order to play matchup games.
  14. UMFan83
    Well whether you thought the offense was in a funk or not, that's done with.
  15. UMFan83
    Well they won't so I have no idea why you are even talking about that scenario.
  16. UMFan83
    David Ross cannot catch up to any 90+ mph fastball anymore
  17. UMFan83
    Man the Reds are the worst fielding team I've ever seen.
  18. UMFan83
    I think it was 3rd worst but I could be wrong
  19. UMFan83
    Man I leave the game for 10 mins to put an old mattress to the curb and I miss the best 10 mins of Castros career apparently

    Good to see Rizzo going oppo

    i think you do get me. 75% of my posts are stream of consciousness with little value to the board. 30% of those posts are flat out wrong and quickly called out, another 20% are called out for whatever reason but probably shouldn't be, the rest are largely ignored. Once in awhile I'll actually post something funny, but that's been lacking lately.
