    He's been a decent pitcher through 9 starts it looks like. Low 3s FIP, good K rate I think.

    These espn announcers didn't get the memo that you are supposed to criticize Castos focus not compliment him.

    [tweet] [/tweet] There are some Hawks that I'm sure would not be thrilled about him joining the team.

    Agreed, the Clippers uniforms are awful. I like the new Sixers ones too. Sixers and Bucks are gorgeous. The Bucks new unis are awesome. They should never change them.

    According to Weather.com, it doesnt seem like the real strong stuff will hit until 10pm. There is a window of rain and thunder in the 8:00 hour but then nothing at 9. If those reports are accurate i think we will ge this in.

    Or how the 1970 Cubs were within a half game of first as late as Sept 4th (Game 137), within a game of first as late as September 15th (game 146) and within 1.5 games as late as September 19th (Game 151). Then they lost 7 of 9 to fall 6 games out before winning their last 2 meaningless games. To compare...in 1969 after 137 games, the Cubs were up 5 games, after game 146 they were down 2.5 games, after game 151 they were 4 games out.

    Hawks will raise the banner October 7th against the Rangers

    I think it's unnecessary. Agreed - though I like the general concept of wanting to have our best bullets available for STL, every win we can get is important. If it's late August or September, and a sweep could get us into a tie with them or something, you might be on to something, but it's too early to think like that. If you spot start someone like Wood or Jackson, they probably won't be able to give you more than 5 innings, meaning you risk taxing the pen before the Cardinals series.

    OK I now officially hate them after seeing them on the players
  11. UMFan83
    Yeah they got Greinke out of the game after 6 innings by making him throw over 100 pitches. Good stuff
  12. UMFan83
    We've gotta be closing in on an '08 date. ETA: 9 over was our highwater mark in '09. Yeah I pointed out the other day, if they can get to 11 over 500, they will be at the highwater mark for any season besides 2008 since 2004. For fun, Cubs highwater mark for since 2000: 2000: 1 2001: 19 2002: 0 2003: 15 2004: 21 2005: 6 2006: 5 2007: 10 2008: 35 2009: 9 2010: 0 2011: 1 2012: 0 2013: 1 2014: 0 2015: 9

    Probably were offered more money. Apparently WGN was in the running for the Sox too...would have been funny to have the Cubs on 670 and the Sox on 720 after the last 10 years of it being reversed.
  14. UMFan83
    You know what's funny? I feel like I should hate them more than I do. Every fiber in my being is telling me to hate them, but I don't think I do...please dont hate me.
  15. UMFan83
    Awesome, we will get extra coverage on that station now.
  16. UMFan83
    Err isn't Jansen their closer? And they used him in a high leverage situation.
  17. UMFan83
    Kershaw and Greinke? Psssh no problem
  18. UMFan83
    Bring out the bucket head!!!
  19. UMFan83
    Whatever you do don't GIDP. We need Rizzo to hit if you can't do it
  20. UMFan83
    Denofria has 100 points lower OPS and like triple the K rate against righties. Edit: yes this is a reverse jinx
  21. UMFan83
    Dammit baxer how long does it take to freaking run 90 feet
  22. UMFan83
    You typically don't squeeze when there's a force at home Suicide squeeze? I could be wrong but yeah that was always my impression

  24. UMFan83
    Addy has to get this done. Denofria is the guy we don't want against righties right?

    What beer are you drinking?
