  1. So almost a repeat of that Cardinals game a few years ago for Kyle
  2. How many more 0-4s can Russell have before he’s not penciled into the lineup every single day?
  3. At least his TD pass to Miller was a rollout and throw to the left side of the field
  4. I just realized that after all the drama about the rotation this year, all 5 of our primary starters have ERAs under 4 for the season Hamels - 1.57 (or 3.67 combined w Texas) Lester 3.43 Hendricks - 3.55 Montgomery - 3.87 Quintana - 3.95
  5. I have to say that this is a brilliant horsefeathering performance by Hendricks. He is in complete control to a degree we’ve only seen a handful of times in his career
  6. Only took 10 days lol
  7. He went the other way, but he homered. I imagine Chili is quite conflicted about this
  8. I seem to be in the minority but I want to give this group little bit of time to put it together. I’m not giving up on the offense but I am not seeing a lot that I like from Mitch. You’d hope to see glimpses and other than his scrambling plays I’m not really seeing it. But anyone feel free to make me wrong
  9. Gosh I have no idea what to take away from the first 2 games. Yes the defense is great maybe elite, but are they the 2005 Bears level good where they can take a shitty offense to the playoffs?
  10. Another game where I assumed the Cubs were down 3-0 by reading the game thread
  11. 05 Bears all over again. Amazing how all the creativity from Nagys offense seems to disappear after the first couple drives.
  12. Wow. Rex Grossman redux
  13. He's not gonna get many chances. They're about to turtle up hard in the second half, I bet. As bad as he’s looked I hope they learned their lesson from last week and don’t completely go into a shell
  14. Why don’t they make the whole game out of scripted plays?
  15. Calling for the fair catch at the 4?
  16. so much for the Contreras punishment. You know what? horsefeathers it. pimp EVERY hit Cobs. He apologized to his teammates, said he was embarrassed and that it should not happen and would not happen again. You’re going to bench him in the middle of a pennant race for that? Maybe in April
  17. It's pretty much pick your poison between him and Murphy right now, unfortunately. Why not Javy to SS, Zobrist at 2B and Happ in the OF? Defense gets a bit worse and Happ has been struggling mostly but Happ actually does something occasionally as a batter
  18. Another start for the worst position player hitter in baseball. Has a sub .500 OPS over the last 1/3 of a seasons worth of PAs but I’m sure hes due to snap out of it
  19. Not much of a day off as they will probably get back from AZ around 6am Thursday and they play a day game Friday at the White Sox If the game ends at midnight local time they will have a whole like 36 hours off not including travel time. Blah, we really need to win the division and give our guys 3 days off before the playoffs.
  20. The last two times the Cubs came back from the West coast this year they didn’t get a day off so this is quite a perk
  21. Don’t assume any days off. Could totally see the roof malfunction during a late season monsoon
  22. I doubt Joe benches him for this, he’ll get a good talking. Willy should be in there vs the two lefties at the least in Arizona. Funny, only too 14 games left into the season for Maddon to act like a manager and call out a player.. He feeling a little pressure from upper management??????? Huh?
  23. Joe has been trying to everyone rest on the fly the last few days so hopefully that helps
  24. More like Baddison Russell, am I right?
  25. The Brewers should be feeling crappy every day because they play in Milwaukee
