That is pretty true. Sure he is paid to pitch, but I struggle to come up with someone who is as worthless at every other aspect of the game as he is. He only throws the ball from the rubber to home plate well. Can't hit for [expletive] (excusable, except he drags a second worthless hitter into the lineup every start). Can't field very well. Can't even do the other part of being a pitcher, controlling runners on the bases. I acknowledge that he is a pretty lights out pitcher, but he represents an absolute void in every other aspect of the game.

Lester's solid stats are more impressive in a way given his struggles with men on base. Impressive like someone playing piano without fingers or someone winning a gunfight with a knife.

Well I guess I'll give it a go. Thankfully all I have to do to show up my predecessor is remain semi-sober and get us on a killer 1-game win streak. Norris: (2-2) 4.24 ERA 4.67 FIP 40.1 IP 28/16 K/BB 1.44 WHIP Lester: (8-8) 3.21 ERA 2.87 FIP 145.2 IP 149/36 K/BB 1.181 WHIP C'mon cubbies, these chumps ain't got nothing on you. Edit: Win , lose, or rain...... SouthSideRyan is up to bat for Thursday's game vs. Atlanta.

Yeah I really don't get why Maddon has stacked our lefties up since switching to the Coghlan at 2B thing. Maybe its been working so he is reluctant to change it? I dunno, I just feel like having it go: 2.schwarb 3.cogh 4.rizzo Is less effective/ makes less sense than 2.schwarb 3.bryant 4.rizzo 5.soler 6.cogh Am I out of the loop on something? Because alternating L-R-L-R makes more sense to me.

And Rizzo is a magical being from the forgotten realm of Faerun, so I'm pretty sure that goldy wins by default. -
DiamondMind, don't worry. We'll all place full responsibility on you no matter where you are.

I did watch the first season of bojack, but I wasn't super attentive so I could definitely rewatch it and then the second season too.

A bag of mulch

Votto is Canadian, no? -
Pfft, one of his rips down the right field line for a double
-
There is some more rain now just east of Des Moines. Just sharing my rigorously gathered meteorological information with all of you.

I like woodchips story because it's predominantly about mulch, and his name is woodchip

I went out to celebrate my 21st three weekends ago in atlanta Georgia with my best friend. We went to a concert at the Masquerade, a concert hall, then we hit up several bars. We were feeling great. Then we got invited by this group we had met to go to a strip club called the Pink Pony. We weren't gonna say no, so we tag along to this club. We get there and it turns out I get a free VIP dance for being the birthday boy. So I get to enjoy the enthralling company of one of their girls while my friend gets fed shot after shot of fireball at the bar. I emerge from the back rooms and find that my friend is absolutely [expletive]-hammered. I check my phone and realize it's 5:00am and we have a plane to catch at 7:30. We uber back to my aunt's where we were staying (after dragging my 6'5" 280lb friend quite a ways) and catch a very minimal amount of sleep then wake up and leave with my aunt to get to the airport. My friend tells her he has to puke, so she pulls over on the side of this 12 lane highway during the morning commute hours, and my bud projectile vomits directly into the Chattahoochee River. We wound up just catching our flight back home to Pennsylvania (his first time flying too), but now I get to tell this story to every family member of his, at his wedding, whenever I want really.

[expletive], I just wanted to see the cubs play well today. I've been driving west from eastern Pennsylvania to Des Moines Iowa on exclusively interstate 80 all day. There shouldn't be any rain at all on the way after that system hitting Chicago at the moment. If there is any, it skipped over me.
-
I'm listening on the radio, could someone possibly post a visual of that strike three on rizzo? Similar?
-
So umm Hendricks the 3rd starter in a playoff series? God the reality that this is, in fact, the most sensible course of action brings about strong feelings of nausea.
-
Also, another patch of rain currently right at the iowa border =/
-
Holy [expletive] get wood up
-
Any radio stations in western illinois/eastern iowa that will have the game on?
-
It gets better soon though friends, don't despair.
-
Well, after 20-30 minutes of driving through a hellacious storm, it's mostly clear skies and a bit of sun. So I'm hoping that after the first delay the game will go on. But have no doubt, there will be a delay.
-
It's a pretty nasty system. Tons of lightning. Cats and dogs. -your friendly neighborhood storm chaser
-
Can confirm, as I'm currently driving in that orange part of the radar map, it's gonna be a wet one tonight
