  1. DJ LeMaheu: All-Star and not even an "every team gets one" selection. I guess the Ian Stewart trade didn't work out.
  2. Nah it's what Hancock slurred to himself being slamming into a semi
  3. I love night games, but every so often I miss some of the midweek day games that I could follow while at work.
  4. I have a feeling Rizzo is going to be the only Cubs all star announced today, with the possibility of Bryant being on the Final Man vote. It seems like everyone believes there are too many deserving starters in the NL for Arrieta or Hammel to be selected. Strange because we had 3 All-Stars last year when we were bad and possibly 1 this year when #wearegood
  5. I don't think its impossible. Definitely a big road to climb in one season but they have a lot of young talent.
  6. That 2006 HR was awesome...was in the bleachers and it felt like a playoff atmosphere. I have a weird trend of loving moments in losing games/seasons though (this 2006 HR, the Sosa HR in game 1 of the NLCS, the Wood HR in game 7, Hester returning the opening kickoff for a TD in the super bowl)
  7. What would happen if Lester pitched great, Montero called a great game while picking 2 runners off of first base?
  8. Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. They don't need to win the division to win the freakin' WS. Would you rather her say '[expletive] it, let's splurge. Schwarber and Edwards for the earthly remains of Ichiro!' 'Is Chase Utley still alive? He is? You want Rubi Silva and Brian Schlitter? Well that just won't do. You'll take Pierce Johnson and I won't hear any more of it!' GFD IT you are a GD moron. This might have been one of his worst posts of all time.
  9. Someone post what that Twitter account says about that pitch Edit: was beaten!
  10. Cumulative score the last 6 games: Cubs 19 Opponent 5
  11. Yeah you always have to be a little concerned that he will be BABIP'd to death
  12. I feel like 13 wins when tied or trailing after 8 innings after 80 games is pretty darn good.
  13. I think they were down to 5 Royals on the last ballot and a couple of the positions they held leads in were close.
  14. Man if we could start frequently reaching base again, with the way this pitching staff has been lately we could go on a tear.
  15. Well...Houston sure has improved since they fired his ass I'm playing devils advocate to my own thing (complaining about pitching coach). Correlation does not equal causation. How much of it is the hitting coach and how much is a group of young Astro hitters improving to their expectation level?
  16. 1 hit in 11 innings. Only 7 non-Bryant hits this entire series from the Cubs
  17. I hope Toronto gets their crap together. Although it's fun to laugh at their follies, the NHL is a better league when the Leafs are good. At least I think so. It's been awhile since that's been the case (other than that outlier year where they almost beat the Bruins in the playoffs)
  18. I don't know but when just almost every hitter is underperforming expectations or career norms you have to wonder if something is wrong with their instruction.
  19. Fowler is like Willie Mays Hayes in Major League 2...too many swings with an upper cut to them.
  20. As bad as the offense has been, 5 runs allowed in the last 5.5 games is awesome.
  21. 1 Cubs hit and 3 total base runners (1 hit, 1 BB, 1 HBP) in the 9 innings since Bryant's Grand Slam
