Yeah all the great hitters such as Jonathan Herrera and Mike Baxter that are getting big playing time You must have misread and thought I said every hitter is good
Chicago vs Miami on the anniversary of the day Back to the Future was released in the year that they travel to in the future and meet in the World Series...can't be a coincidence right? http://www.verbicidemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/back-to-the-future-cubs.jpg
Not sure if you are talking about the contract or how everything played out. For the latter they basically rented him to the Hawks for 3 months for a 1st and two 2nds (right?) and he returned with championship experience. And he might play the last year of that deal in Las Vegas!
That's awesome and I laugh at the people who stood in line for hours becuase they thought they were eating Hot Doug's for the last time. Now any drunken slob at Wrigley will be able to get their hands on them.
This was a total Jerry Seinfeld couple of weeks "We win two against the Dodgers, then we lose two. We get swept in St. Louis, then we sweep the Mets We keep ending up even!"
I'm not sure it would necessarily be a bad thing. Just seems like we're not going to catch them. we're freaking 2.5 games behind them and they aren't some unbeatable juggernaut.
If that game were next week, we have to start Arrieta against Cole....not Lester. Right? Yes...and will be twice as awkward when Hammel starts game 1 against St Louis
Looking at OPS stats for June, not as bad as I thought... Schwarbs .982 Rizzo .891 Coghlan .886 Bryant .805 Baxter .756 Denorfia .712 Montero .689 Lake .683 Szczur .667 Fowler .641 Castro .628 Russell .600 Ross .564 Herrera .444 Soler .000 (4 AB)
There was an article saying Maddon wanted to work in some rest for Russell and Bryant. Russell was last night, Bryant today. Either that or Bryant has been sent to the minor leagues because of his struggles.
I just hope they get more 3 point shooting. They definitely need another shooter even if Dougie pans out. In today's NBA you can't build a team that's 28th in 3 point shooting and expect to win a title imo And they already lost Brooks who was their best 3 point shooter percentage wise last yaar
