  1. Yeah but Heyward is is really good at everything else (and has a .375 OBP coming into today) whereas Soler is pretty worthless if he isn't hitting 150MPH line drives all over the park.
  2. I love me some Jake Arrieta 42 pitches for Miller through 1 2/3rds, too :D :D
  3. Joe wanted to make sure he really wasn't Castro?
  4. Watching Castillo when he first came up is what originally made me a big believer in it.
  5. Though I'm also not a fan of our blue uniforms every day either. I loved the CUBS block letter away grays.
  6. That was my first thought, too. When the ball was hit I thought it would be caught, then my heart sank when the cameras switched and Soler was in the stands or something. And as bob pointed out, he looks like he got caught in between diving for the catch and trying for the runner at home, and he made a bad throw as a result. Thats a really annoying play to end a really annoying game. I want to believe that Schwarber would have fucked that play up, too, because if not I might have to be really pissed about this final play.
  7. I know its been said, but why did we pitch to him? F. I wouldn't have cared if they walked them loaded to face Castillo....anything but pitching to him :[
  8. Not sure if you are kidding but there is 0% chance he's back this year. I don't care if he's running marathons in September they won't bring him back. Oh, im definitely kidding. He wont be back. But I miss him already and i want him back for October :(
  9. Corey Patterson tore his ACL in July 2003 and was ready for Spring Training in 2004. Bold prediction: Kyle heals faster than expected, makes the league his bitch for the last two weeks of September and carries us to a WS win. Four WS wins. 4 of them.
  10. Lol, wellington castillo hits 5th for them and we'd have to DFA him if he was on our roster.
  11. Other people won't let it die. There are now multiple threads containing zingers directed at me that were unprovoked. I was more than willing to drop it after the nomz thread got locked. We should start a "topic de-railing debates" thread, where instead of locking a perfectly good topic because of off topic fighting, we just move the fight to there. Locked threads are literally the worst, especially when theyre locked because of dumb stuff.
  12. Schwarber actually didnt have a hit yet this season and we're still averaging 9 runs per game. I mean, it still sucks, but at least thers the whole 'we dont really NEED him' angle that we can look at.
  13. They were testing his ACL on the field, and it really didnt look like it passed that test. I thought he was gone for 2016. Very happy to hear, hopefully the mri goes as well. The at bat he had before the injury was a really great at bat, too :/
  14. Once i realized that they made this graphic completely stupid by including the previous year's results, i checked. The only year they even managed a decent record after an 0-3 start is 01. Seems like they were panicking as they made that...
  15. I'm stuck with the Angels broadcast. What'd he say?
  16. So I'm rewatching last night's game, and the ESPN announcers asked what the over/under is on 20 run games for the Cubs this year. The other announcer answered that he thought they'd do it once. What would you set it at? Would you take the over at 2.5? I'd definitely take the over at 1.5.
  17. Walking Rizzo to get to Bryant? I wish I had an Obama to Romney "Please Proceed..." .gif
  18. I know I'm a dork and it doesn't really matter that much, but I really like that our order starts out S/L/S/L, and that its perfectly L/R all the way through.
  19. Left for dead by another org and picked up by the cards to fill in where options A and B have both been injured? I dunno, sounds like a pretty likely mvp candidate to me.
  20. We look like we should be ready for opening day in 2 or 3 months...
  21. I still wouldnt trade him for Victor Zambrano.
  22. Yeah man, I'm really liking being able to watch a Sox game with the volume on. Benetti and Stone work well together.
