Look at how effortlessly Ian Happ strikes out -
So 7 ERs for Carl in his last 2.1 IP. Dead arm maybe?
-
Solid multi tasking
-
If this runner scores it will be the 3rd straight appearance that Carl has given up a run. That’s...strange.
-
Have been out of town so haven’t really watched the last few games but seeing these low scores again. Cubs going through another offensive drought or just facing some good pitching?
-
Guess you can’t sustain 1.000 ops without walking ever for too long

I like the wheel idea. It’s not perfect but I think it’s the best way to eliminate tanking. Although it would suck to wait 30 years for the #1 pick and then end up having it in a poor draft year. How about the wheel but instead of each pick once every 30 years, you put 5 groups of 6 teams together. Group 1 has a random draw for picks 1-6. Group 2 has a random draw for picks 7-12, etc etc. it at least puts some luck back into it and every 5 years you have a chance at the number 1 pick.

I think he just uses the board to vent. He goes over the top and is a villain in the eyes of some here, but he really does appear to be a big Cubs fan and just needs to write his feelings down. Like, he's not hoping they lose, he instead desperately wants them to win. That Dodgers comeback wasn't very quality, though, but I really believe he knows that. Well he does the same thing on Twitter but for all Chicago teams so it’s not just NSBB. He goes out of his way to spread negativity on multiple outlets

Ninnys

I was gonna say something about the Cubs run scored but then I realized it was on a strikeout
-
Ouch. Thank god we had hurricane conditions in that one game against the Braves
-
This is super creepy
-
Wasted an entire season and the Bulls aren’t going to get a star in the draft. Guess we either get lucky in draft or FA or suck for a lot longer
-
yes but for reasons that go beyond just overreacting to baseball games
-
It can be done. I used to be one of the worst ninny's on the board. I remember one time in....2008 after a loss that you called me the worst whiner on the board or something like that. Some will probably say I'm still a ninny, but I like to think I improved a lot over the years. aha...because I have no life I found it. http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=49614&start=25 God reading back on that thread I really was the most pathetic member of the woe is us club, why did i even link that for the world to see

For sure, its been incredibly less live or die since winning the WS, but it had already been trending that way for years. But it also helps that I don't treat the game threads like a stream of consciousness. I still have irrationally pessimistic thoughts go through my head sometimes I just...deal with them better. Edit: But I'll admit they still creep out sometimes. And Sofa is there waiting to pounce when they do :lol:

I’m calling it. We’re winning this one and Yu is going to dominate.

Clutch

In honor of legalized sports gambling, anyone want to take 100-1 odds that Happ's AB ends in something other than a K? This is why i dont gamble

Hot Take: The 2016 Super Cubs ruined regular season baseball for me. Anything less than that seems like a giant disappointment.
-
This just isn't the same Quintana that I saw pitch for the Sox. Even when he's pitching ok hes super inefficient and doesn't go more than 6 innings. We built what we thought was a rotation of number 2 starters, when in actuality it feels like we built a rotation of number 4 starters. Quintana sucks. Not even sure if he was available, but would’ve rather had G Cole than this soft tossing lefty. Crazy how the Astros added with Verlander and Cole, we added Quintana and Darvish.
-
That whole "it's so great that Quintana's cheap contract enabled us to get Darvish" conversation feels like a long time ago. This just isn't the same Quintana that I saw pitch for the Sox. Even when he's pitching ok hes super inefficient and doesn't go more than 6 innings. We built what we thought was a rotation of number 2 starters, when in actuality it feels like we built a rotation of number 4 starters.

I don't like Quintana anymore
-
Lol I just noticed that they have a +1 RD for the season.
