  1. They won baseball games. So all it takes is facing Latroy and an idiot Reds manager to give you confidence in this team? Good to know. They also won 50% of the games that did not fit that description. "Confidence" in the team is meaningless. It's a stupid, meatball term. I think they're a decent baseball team in a league with very few great baseball teams to worry about. It's a high-variance sport and they could have an awesome record or a terrible one in five months, but I see no reason to like them less than anyone outside of Washington or LA likes their team. The point, as I'm sure you understood, was that after last nights win many were ready to purchase playoff tickets. Then amazingly after familiar offensive ineptitude people were stunned. The act of being confident in your teams ability to play the game of baseball well enough that you believe they will win more than they lose is in no way "mestbally". Which people were stunned? It seems like most people here are doing the opposite by saying that there are lots of reasons to be optimistic about this team.
  2. Meanwhile every single Reds player is making the highlight reel tonight.
  3. Seemed reachable by Contra, but maybe not.
  4. Is the whole hamstring issue something we still have to worry about like forever?
  5. If the Cubs win tonight and the Cards lose again, it will be the first time the Cubs have a greater than 1-game lead in the standings since 2008. \:D/
  6. If he could put up that slash line over a whole season, he'd be a 3+ win player even with the defense. If he could give the Cubs .270/.340/.440 he'd be a fairly solid starter and it would exceed my preseason expectations by a bit.

  8. Just looking at this lineup and imagining all the moon shots from all the players we're going to be watching for the next several years is glorious.
  9. Also it's pretty awesome to have game threads hitting 26 pages the 6th game of the season.
  10. This is one of those games where I just knew the Cubs would win it. Haven't felt that in a really, really long time.

  12. I've been having issues but I thought it was because my Internet at home has been completely awful lately. its been cutting in and out for me all night It's happening all over the country. This product [expletive] sucks. It was literally better in 2008 than it is now. I had zero problems with it last year. This is disappointing. Been perfect for me tonight.
  13. Listen to the crowd, this is so great.
  14. Saw that coming a million miles away.
