I really want to see how fast Willy can throw it off a mound. Maybe he will throw 110 MPH and we can turn him into a part time pitcher. am i crazy or was there a throw that javy made to home that statcast recorded in the upper 90s in pittsburgh in 2015

i'll never understand this. the sports media says stuff like this too. if you think the cubs are worse than you thought coming into this season, that's all the more reason to get more help, fix obvious holes, and win a very winnable division. It's about not expending your somewhat limited resources on a borderline playoff contender. I get it that anything can happen in the playoffs and the goal is generally just to get to the playoffs and hope for the best, but there are only so many prospect "bullets" that can be used before the farm system has been depleted. I would prefer to spend those when they can take a team from good to great, rather than from average to slightly above average. This year's team just feels like it is more than 1 good starting pitcher away from being a World Series contender. when you need to cement a playoff berth it makes a lot more sense to go all in than when you are locked into one. this makes no sense. this is a much higher leverage spot in which to use said bullets. and how many times do we need to see 87 win wild cards and crap division winners win world series to realize that there is no such thing as a team built to win a world series (beyond obviously being built to win a division) the fact that the most dominant team in baseball also managed to win the world series last year doesn't nullify that. that same team was in serious peril multiple times in last year's run. if they were 10 games up and were talking about trading jimenez and cease for a starter, i'd be much more annoyed. not to mention that if they really pony up, it is almost certainly for an acquisition that'll be a key contributor beyond this season.

it felt very satisfying to say jackass. i'm going to use that insult more often.

we're going to score 7 runs and i'm going to be even happier that maddon decided to throw gasoline on a small fire by bringing this jackass in

now that the win probability is like 1%, i'm kind of enjoying watching this guy piss his pants like one of us would if we were thrown into this situation

i called this on a 1-0 count btw

he's going to either walk in a run here or groove a fb for a grand slam

what the hell is a leathersich

it's going to suck when we score a few runs later and make this annoyingly close but still lose

ryan braun's retirement won't come a day too soon horsefeathers that trash bag

LOL

the way that 1st inning went, i'd be saying it even if we were 10 games up and 25 games over

now that stupid ass luckbox double play is even more irritating (i know butterfly effect blah blah)

lol is this scripted? our luck vs theirs is already at ridiculous levels and we're not out of the 1st yet

nice jay i love me some csn weekday games

we're still going to dong this clown

if you ever find yourself in glenview, adam's kabob on waukegan and lake https://www.yelp.com/biz/adams-kabob-glenview-2 :good: i've never had any idea what to make of this smily it seems sarcastic as hell. like why does he look down after the thumbs up? and that smug ass half smile but it's called "good" so it seems like it's trying to be sincere

I'd be good with Gray too Would be excited about Gausman but wouldn't feel as great about it as a move for this year

hahahahahahaha

i like stroman a lot, but i feel like i'm missing something where you guys hold him in quite this much regard, since he only strikes out like 7ish guys per 9 ip.

i mean, i know, "lol gold gloves" but didn't maddux basically win it every year? it's not exactly unheard of that he was amazing defensively
