  1. Cubs have struggled against good changeups and watching his last start dude was telegraphing the horsefeathers out of it so I expect dongage
  2. Pretty sure there's a $1,000,000 reward if you figure out what she does
  3. I wish Zobrist would stop looking like Roy Hobbs after he banged Mimo Paris
  4. Yeah he's been flailing a lot more right now
  5. That was the top of the eighth. I felt like he was saying that because of Jansen in the ninth. Yet maybe not. Yeah Jensen is as dominant as it gets out of the pen and we didn't have juiced up Taylor Teagarden to handle the velocity. Fortunately, Trevor Cahill put down the hopes of winning that game like Old Yeller.
  6. Time for this to become the Travis Wood game
  7. Great PA by Jorge seeing as he had no idea when balls were being pitched
  8. We didn't even get full first half Hammel. That sucks.
  9. Oh horsefeathering Christ this is on you too Gary.
  10. Gary jones is literally the worst thing about this team.
  11. Why the horsefeathers wasn't he sent??? Crawford throws like an 85 year old woman
  12. I remember when there was an actual debate by pundits as to whether or not Pederson was better than Bryant. Those were innocent times.
  13. Chris Archer already assured me the we lost the Garza trade. Question: if we'd gotten the same as we did out of Matt Garza in a time when the Cubs weren't completely useless, would we be looking at the trade as a loss? On the other side of that coin, Rich Harden gave us an excellent year and a half-ish in a time when it mattered. He did, however, cost us Josh Donaldson (a fact that I'm surprised how many Cubs fans are completely unaware of.) Was that trade a loss? And I get that Archer was more more well regarded than Donaldson at the time, but he was far from a sure thing. And we were able to salvage Kyle Hendricks out of Garza. What does sting a bit is that (allegedly) it was our choice between Archer and Trey McNutt, and we opted to keep Trey. I would make the Harden trade tomorrow if we were in the same spot. Cubs fans are aware we gave up Donaldson I think but he was a 24 year old catcher in A-ball and that regime would probably not have developed him anyway. It was the right move. Trading a huge haul for garza before a season where the team was terrible was a bad move even after a 4.9 WAR season because of where the team was on the win curve but it's still somewhat hindsight. Even so they gave up 2 top 50ish guys for a guy that wasn't going to put them over the top.
  14. You forgot this one... So I was right before I was wrong.
