Too many short outings from our starters lately

Why do you hate utley so much?

What the hell are you doing Montero?

[expletive] hell Seriously that is annoying as hell. Can't make those mistakes with Kershaw dealing

Gah come on Hammel get out of this

We need to bring back steroids

Denofria sucks so hard. Why is he hitting 2nd?

Atta boy Riz!

Shitty thing is his pitch count pace is in the 8 IP range

Meh

This dude is unhittable

dammit

Russell is 0-7 with 5 K since having a kid

It boggles my mind how long Scully has been broadcasting. When he started he was watching players like DiMaggio and Jackie Robinson. Now he's watching Kris Bryant. Insane

20 Cubs Ks in their last 11 innings

Sounds like Fowler was robbed of a hit. Dammit

I wish we could put out better lineups against lefties.

Did Bernstein make fun of him for the rest of the show?

I don't know why I always feel like we have had success against Kershaw and yet the numbers are dominant. It's probably because I expect nothing when we face Kershaw so when we score 2-3 runs or win a game against their pen, I feel like we beat him up.

Kyle will be happy that Theo really is going for the 2012 championship

How about a lottery....everyone has to pick one name, and one reason for banning. For example you might pick "Diamondmind" and "goes on a racist rant" or "Rondon Fan" and "flips out about having proof that sliding into first is faster than running past the bag" or "LLF" and "provokes modzilla" or my favorite "ARCubsFan" and "reveals himself to be Da Bum"

Again, if the Cubs play .500 the rest of the year, that puts them at 91-71 The Giants would have to go 24-11 to pass the Cubs with 92 wins. If they go 24-11, chances are they would pass the Dodgers and win the West. If that was the case, the Dodgers would have to go 22-14 to win 92 games The chances of all 3 of those things happens (Cubs playing .500ish ball, Giants playing at least .686 ball, Dodgers playing at least .611 ball) are pretty low. Not impossible at all but low. Then you look at the schedules. The Giants and Dodgers still have 7 games left against each other. So right there is 7 more losses split between them already out of 27 losses needed for the Cubs to feel safe at .500. If you presume the Cubs who have been playing out of their minds lately will play better than .500 the rest of the way then obviously it tilts even more in the Cubs favor. Looking at schedules, the Cubs have 13 games left (36%) against the only 3 teams in baseball that have better records than us, 3 this weekend against the Dodgers, 3 at home against the .500ish Diamondbacks, and then 17 games left against the dregs of the league (Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Milwaukee). So for the most part we are either playing really tough teams or [expletive] teams. Giants have 10 games left against St. Louis and the Dodgers and their other 25 games are against sub 500 teams (Colorado, San Diego, Arizona, Oakland). So that's a bit of a concern Dodgers have 16 games left against legit playoff contenders (Cubs, Giants, Pirates, Angels) and then 20 games left against the dregs of the West So overall unless you are expecting the Cubs to collapse or the Giants and Dodgers to BOTH go on big hot streaks, you should feel pretty safe.

Good way to look at it

Attention me? I said the exact same thing in this thread. Except since August 1 it's 16-3 vs 2-3 Also I admitted twice that I really didn't think out that post and shouldn't have made it. Short of starting a new thread apologizing to the board or going on a profanity filled bigoted rant calling everyone Cardinal fans I don't know what else I can do! us having won 2 out of the 5 with the one guy who is actually awful, who has faced sale and bumgarner, is practically of the opposite of what you put out there (winning 20% of our remaining games with haren AND hendricks). i don't care what you admitted, i will make fun of it as i please! That's fine, as long as you acknowledge that I admitted wrongness something 97.6% of NSBB refuses to do
