  1. I kind of wish we had a short porch at Wrigley. I don’t mind those cheap HRs from time to time. IIRC, Wrigley has the longest distance down the lines in the MLB
  2. When and where did he say that? In some LA article. Also said he was worried about having to pitch at Dodger Stadium in this series because of the booing and something about expecting the booing to be even worse if he pitches in a playoff game in this postseason. Is keeping a low profile at the park during the games and staying in the clubhouse Edit: found the article http://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/la-sp-darvish-hernandez-20180627-story.html?outputType=amp&__twitter_impression=true
  3. Screw you Germany, that would have been so awesome
  4. In case any one is wondering, if Sweden and Germany both win 1-0, pretty sure Mexico gets bounced based on Goals Scored between the 3 teams games against each other. GD, Goals Scored (overall), points H2H, GD H2H would all be even.
  5. Dodgers 1 run on 1 hit, Cubs 0 runs on 6 hits
  6. Thanks for making everyone worse Chili Edit: except Heyward. Somehow you fixed him
  7. https://twitter.com/johnfitzgibbon3/status/1011757151352709123?s=21
  8. So currently on the DL are Bryant, Darvish, Morrow and Edwards. Good thing none of them (save maybe Darvish) seem serious
  9. Fangraphs wrote about it today https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jon-lesters-high-wire-act/
  10. Remember when he actually won EOY?
  11. Kind of knew this already but yay our best starter is having a historically lucky season https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jon-lesters-high-wire-act/
  12. Remember when the Dodgers were 10 games under .500? Now 0.5 games worse than the Cubs
  13. This week. Unless that performance against the Reds on Sunday counted, we are due for our patented “everything’s alright” 13+ run outburst. Should win that one unless our bullpen implodes again
  14. There is no rational explanation for it. It's not like our hitters look any different or visibly change much as far as I can tell. They just stop getting hits, or even productive outs, doing whatever it is they're doing. Right and if it was just this year or this year and last you’d have more patience for it to correct itself. But they were average in 2016 and bottom 5 in 2015 as well. And Theo specifically pointed to situational hitting when adding Chili so he understands there is something broken. So far it hasn’t been fixed so now what?
  15. 4 years of constantly being toward the bottom of the league in these situations. Changed hitting coaches and it’s only seemed to get worse. What will fix it? Actually changes to the core?
  16. I’m sorry to say this but a small part of me enjoyed that, which means we’ve officially entered fun bad territory
  17. Well he’s 3-26 with 0 XBH as a Cub and gave up 3 runs pitching so...I’m sure he’s a fine defensive catcher though...
  18. lol. Well no one scored. Maybe he can go 4 innings at this rate?
  19. Why would you bother paying for a meal for the other team? It's cool I guess. I think he just wants to be loved
  20. I completely forgot about that game but it has all come back to me now. Man we play some weird ass games against the Rockies at Wrigley -The 01 game where (I think) Ricky Gutierrez stumbles around 3rd as the winning run, gets caught in a rundown and still manages to score (might be getting details wrong) -The 07 game above -The huge 8 run comeback game in 08 -Kris Bryant somehow gets a clutch hit after Cubs blow big lead in 9th in 15
  21. Underwood is coming to save the day tomorrow!
