  1. I'm watching the replay of yesterday's game on MLB Network and Ernie Johnson just said "Jay's got great speed" lmfao
  2. [tweet]https://twitter.com/SInow/status/916720166825840640[/tweet]
  3. lol yeah. i imagine that's what it was like looking at this board around the 08 playoffs, with fewer terrible meatbally opinions but just as much despair
  4. i'm partial to this one [tweet] [/tweet]
  5. http://www.wnff.net/index.php?topic=35786.0 get a load of the hot takes by this slate guy also half their board still doesn't know kyle's name
  6. Wear shorts to turn the mojo i see what you did there
  7. Yep. I had sex during the 7/8 inning. She said, "don't you want to wait until after the game?" I said, "it won't take long (*along with some joke about it never does*) and they have the lead, only thing that could happen would be something to disturb me anyway" I came back downstairs to see CEJ mow them down and Davis crush their souls. Then I could relax and enjoy the victory and fall asleep on the couch by myself. Good night all around!

  9. When the entire season is over and I win my bet, will that be a big enough sample size? Just take the L and be done with it. This is embarrassing.
  10. Yes. It was the title of the 30 for 30 on Cleveland sports suffering
  11. From Nats Park, today's batting practice HR leaders: Zimmerman, WAS...13 Almora, CHC............10 Schwarber, CHC......10 Bryant, CHC..............9 Rizzo, CHC................9 Russell, CHC.............8 Murphy, WAS............7 Harper, WAS.............6 Heyward, CHC..........6 Lind, WAS.................5 Robles, WAS.............5
  12. I think experience is a big factor. But here's my reasoning. Not necessary because experience makes you better. Playoff baseball is a completely different animal from regular season baseball. I think pressure is very real, and some players play better and some play worse. The fact that the Cubs won last year at least proves that they can excel at playoff baseball, even granting that luck contributes to a large degree in series that are 5 or 7 games. You have no idea if the Nats are full of a bunch of Clayton Kershaws who underachieve in the playoffs (although I do know that Murphy scares the horsefeathers out of me). You at least know the Cubs aren't. Yeah...I do believe playoff pressure is an actual factor. It's just almost always impossible to tell when it is. There's a few examples that are so glaring that it seems unlikely that it isn't in play...David Price, what happened with the starters in the one game playoffs throwing pure meatballs...Hell, DeRosa admitted the other day that in 08 he felt himself trying too hard and trying to be a hero.
  13. just because you have an advantage at something doesn't mean you automatically win and to counter the "too young and stupid to feel pressure thing," the veteran teams that would choke under pressure in the playoffs would be the ones who have been there but haven't really had success (or ones with vets who don't have playoff experience), if that's a thing. i don't think you'll ever be accusing a team of 25 year olds with a lilke 30 games worth of an NLCS run and a world series win under their belts of crumbling under playoff pressure. that's never going to be a thing.
  14. apparently chris berman is doing radio play by play for the astros/red sox game and he must have taken lessons from coomer
  15. Ian Happ has been a far better hitter than Zobrist this year. It's not particularly close. Zobrist is also a worse outfielder.
  16. he was going to until you made this post. way to go I think that only matters when you're purposely saying untrue things to do a reverse jinx. Zobrist genuinely horsefeathering sucks. Those posts were real.
  17. not all... but a bunch. when people pop up on the suggestions i add them if i have any idea who they are. i don't even know why but occasionally something interesting or fun comes of it. or a lot of times another cubs twitter person will like/retweet and it'll pop in my feed as well. bleep-bleep bloop-bloop... accessing data "russell lady friends"... loading... 1.5 billion results... loading... this might be my favorite david robot post ever. and from such a dark horse poster.
  18. you guys know obviously zobrist is going to go like 3/4 with a double now right? this is a great thing we're doing.
