    And now I umm emptively claim reverse jinx

    It's been a week bro It was the three game losing streak and then winning 1-0 in 11 against the Royals, homie. Game before the streak against a terrible pitcher and last nights game too. 4 runs is fine but not as a ceiling for the offense. Anyways it was an innocent comment with stats to back it up but I know how much people like to call out anything close to negative so meh, I guess I'm the worst. Oh and when the Cubs go on a huge outburst I preemptively claim reverse jinx

    It's been a week bro, as Fred alluded to
  4. UMFan83
    Man I'm really hoping the offense gets it going before next week. We seem to be in a team wide funk.

    This will not be the last time Jon Lester starts this season.

    I believe in the 3 playoffs the Cubs have played since 2003, there has only been 1 pure day game (Game 5 against the Marlins), 1 late afternoon game (Game 4 against the Braves), and 2 very early evening games (Game 3 against the Diamondbacks and Game 1 against the Dodgers). The rest have been primetime or west coast primetime.

    Did you photoshop that picture to add color?
  8. UMFan83
    Same park and everything. The only thing Haren was missing is an RBI hit
  9. UMFan83
    Rizzo 1 for his last 22 and the one hit was a gift from the BABIP gods (bloop single)

    What in the [expletive] was that ump?
  11. UMFan83
    Obviously you just have to tip your cap to Josh Smith

    We don't hit dongs anymore unless Jake is hitting them Edit: or denorf!

    Coghlan playing himself out of the WC game lineup

    Wtf was that Kris?

    8:40 CT start time announced Edit: damn you CT you even got the tweet in there

    Lots of players talk about their next contracts. I don't see the harm in that. It is a strange thing to do though when you have vastly underperformed so far in your current contract. Also, and I didn't hear what spurred on his answer about his next contract, but it does contrast with his early career when everything he talked about in terms of his motivations was "I just want to win". Now it's about playing for his next contract. Again, I don't have a problem with anything that he said, it's just a little odd.

    too quickly? It's almost October. They had all summmer/preseason/3 games. None of these guys are surprising to see gone. Most of them were considered likely to be released if not for certain contract situations. True. I guess I'm used to our management sticking with their recent draft picks/free agents way past their expiration date even if its clear that there isn't much there. But Pace has the luxury of cutting bait since they aren't his picks, and was able to get at least some value from Allen and Bostic.
  18. UMFan83
    I love that Pace is cleaning up Emery's mess. I do wonder if he's making these evaluations too quickly but I'm willing to give him the benefit of doubt until he fucks up royally.

    If you're referring to my comment, it was a joke. I wouldn't expect Tom to publicly commit to a spending spree, but that doesn't necessarily mean he won't spend money in the offseason. Jed has already made comments hinting that the money will likely be there for them this winter.
  20. UMFan83
    God I want to go to this so bad
  21. UMFan83
    Sounds like a line from Major League. Wasn't that Little Big League that had the announcer that threw out ridiculous stats like that? Uecker was just a drunken slob in Major League who sobered up when the Indians did well. Edit: found some quotes:

    Why do I think Belichick is going to turn Bostic into a star?
  24. UMFan83
    http://ballhawk.net This site seems to indicate that balls are still going out in batting practice, albeit at a significantly reduced rate from previous years (I think the stats listed are only balls he caught though)
  25. UMFan83
    Herrera has completely justified his roster spot with all of his antics. Are you allowed to sit in the dugout if you aren't on the 25 in the playoffs? If so he needs to be on the bench for this very reason
