  1. Would be nice to be guaranteed of ending the night in sole possession of 1st before even taking the field
  2. Didn’t someone express concern about being 4-5 games out of first at the break like 2 days ago?
  3. Brewers 3 outs away from dropping game 1 today Edit: and they go down quietly in the 9th. Cubs 0.5 up
  4. It’s not really high risk at all
  5. It started when he was in like AA and he was talking about how great his team's lineup was, and he knew himself and two other top-100 prospects. He went down the list saying "some guy" for everyone else. Edit: Found it. http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=63058#p3094506 This was the thread where we were excited that Arismendy Alcantara was going to get a couple of days up for Darwin Barney's paternity leave but we were worried Renteria wouldn't play him. And IMB was right, that kind of stuff seems *hilarious* and not annoying in retrospect. I know the story but it turned into a meme where if for example players went into a slump Javy would forget their name and stuff. Now I’m convinced that the Beatles didnt do enough in their career for Javy to know who they are. I’m pretty sure Javy out of ignorance called his wife ‘honey’ or ‘you’ until she produced his child.
  6. Oh thank god. I really believed you thought Schwarber was pitching tonight
  7. Damn didn’t realize just how good the dodgers have been. Since they bottomed out in early May they’ve gone 36-16 with a +82 RD.
  8. I don’t think “Javy doesn’t know names” is a meme anymore. It’s just real life.
  9. For all the worrying about the VB’s, they are just 19-18 since June 1st (the Cubs are 22-15)
  10. Pirates came into the 9th with a 6-1 lead. It’s now 6-2 with the bases loaded and 1 out with Yelich and Aguilar due up
  11. I'm willing to witness the brutal sacrifice that must occur for the greater good. In five games you’ll have a decent chance of seeing Rizzo reach base But Chatwood is pitching to the team that doesn’t have Rizzo
  12. For those too lazy to click on Jersey's link.. Hawks gave up a promising forward and a 3rd pairing blue line player and got back 4.65m in cap savings and minor league filler. Success of the trade is going to depend on how they use it.
  13. Entwistle is a 2017 3rd round pick by Arizona, Maletta looks like AHL filler and Campbell at best a 3rd pairing defenseman. I'm no expert though, just from 30 seconds of googling. Hawks should get cap space here.
  14. So I guess we won't be getting much if any cap space back after all. Holy hell does Stan like re-acquiring old Hawks.
  15. Pretty sure Rizzo uses that walk-up song, or at least did in the past. Harper is mind-fvcking Riz about replacing Bryzzo as the best BFF relationship on the Cubs next year....savage. Must be why Anthony is in a slump.
  16. https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1017467808467206144 Sounds like the Hawks will end up with a nice chunk of cap room... There are apparently more pieces and this could be a much larger deal.
  17. If we were going to lose yesterday, why couldnt we have extended the game long enough to force us to put Chatwalk in there to blow it? Then we wouldnt have to use him tomorrow.
  18. Also holy horsefeathers, DeRosa did the Javy slide to win it. Or at least the white boy version of the Javy slide. That's nuts. It's at 4:28:10
  19. This is a fun one. Rich Harden's Cubs debut. Marmol blows a 5 run lead in the 9th but Reed Johnson wins it in the 11th. [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo]
  20. Not going to be easy this year. With the way Pittsburgh has been playing we can be 4-5 out by the break. I hate when people do this
  21. 7 runs in 33 innings. Should be thankful we won 1 of them
