  1. I know he's awesome but just have no confidence in KB lately.
  2. The Cradz have a pretty good record considering what they're getting from Fowler, Carpenter and Ozuna. I like their young rotation too. Thank god for their bullpen and the guy running it.
  3. I like it, he's clearly always felt more comfortable in the role. Plus, with yu and chatwoods struggles I think it's basically necessary.
  4. What a mess. I can't even with this team. horsefeathering maddening.
  5. I thought he was shaking his arm a lot in his start in Cincinnati.
  6. Most of 2015 and 2016 spoiled me. Effortlessly kicking ass. I'm sure we'll play better but [expletive] if this team isn't frustrating now.
  7. I've never really boycotted anything before but I am tempted here. And not necessarily for the fine. It's against the rules in the NBA to kneel, etc. But Snowflake Pence just tweeted out #winning in response to this, and I think that might be enough for me.
  8. Ya. I noticed the lineup made 100% of Game 7 champions as well.
  9. Go Caps. Would be cool for Ovi to get a cup but also LV because it would surely annoy blues fans lol.
  10. do yourself a favor and never watch it. Even now I'm convinced that thing is gone. Haha oh I've watched it since then. Definitely gives me the heebs but that half inning is just a blank slate for me :crazy:
  11. There's a great fangraphs article about the bottom of the ninth, "the inning that the Cubs stole" or some such. I have to admit I don't recall the Kipnis foul ball. Was probably cowering in the corner at that point though.
  12. The Davis home run was the absolute worst feeling ever but deep down I still believed we would win. However, after the failure that was the 9th inning I was absolutely DESPODENT during the rain delay. Then Kyle got on base and I was 100% back in.....just a wicked roller coaster of emotions. After the Davis HR I told my gf that I was done with it and was going to the bar. Part of me thought I’d be somewhere to finish it by the time the rain delay ended, but part of me wanted to miss the end. She ripped me (rightfully so) and insisted I stay put and finish the game. If not for her I’d have missed the Cubs winning the MFing World Series. Ooof. Holy horsefeathers. That's rough. I was at my gf's and just went on to the balcony and sat there. She didn't care about sports but kept saying they were going to win. She gave me the Jason Heyward pep talk I needed haha.
  13. Exactly how I feel about the Davis HR. It was actually the first time in my entire life that I let that nonsense into my head and it was basically immediately erased. The Davis home run was the absolute worst feeling ever but deep down I still believed we would win. However, after the failure that was the 9th inning I was absolutely DESPODENT during the rain delay. Then Kyle got on base and I was 100% back in.....just a wicked roller coaster of emotions.
  14. Yeah, I've watched the final innings 50 times but don't think I've ever rewatched the whole thing. Probably up to us leading 5-1 but yeah, no need to watch that lead get chipped away. I was so mad when Joe took Kyle (and Willie) out.
  15. I had to medicate with myself with booze, etc. for pretty much the entire playoffs. That last week was especially bad; I hardly ever drink on weeknights (and many weekends) but it was the only way I could deal haha. But to be honest I did wander away from the tv when we were pitching a decent amount. At least when you're hitting you can't lose ground.
  16. Yu make me angry in the first inning but Yu redeemed yuself.
