BUT BOY DO I SURE WISH WE HAD TANKED
-
Before the season I thought the people who thought they'd miss the playoffs were nuts and figured low mid 40's 6ish seed. Now I'm thinking more like low 50's 2-3 seed.
-
Well, not with that username you don't. What even possesses people to make posts like that? We all get these feelings (good and bad) but I have no idea why anyone thinks it's something worth communicating to anyone else other than to say "yeah, i'm nervous" mainly it frustrates me because he/she has close to a 50% chance of being right and then will be like I KNEW IT -
Wouldnt be an excited nervous feeling if we win, and a miserable feeling if we lose? Yeah, I meant that miserable nervous feeling. it's all miserable WHY IS THIS FUN WHY DO WE CHOOSE TO DO THIS
-
Edwards only got one out the other night and there's been a day off in between. He'll be fine to pitch tonight. Think he meant game 7.
-
With the wind out of the SW, does that mean it will be blowing straight out in Cleveland like it does at Wrigley? Not sure how that park is setup. eh. i feel like i never hear that type of thing referenced with other parks. design has probably something to do with it. closest thing i can think of is people talking about dodger stadium with the marine layer blah blah blah.

Nah, that's a good thing. We need offense and cold weather would only make it that much harder. I'll take our offense over Cleveland's any day of the week and twice on Sundays so the advantage of warm weather I would hope would favor the Cubs. Well, that's selling Cleveland's offense a bit short, but yeah, I'd take ours, especially with Schwarbs.
-
I'm not sure if I should be or not (I think I should), but I'm kinda really happy that it's going to be in the 70's for these two games.
-
Lester will be available tomorrow, if not tonight.
-
his best odds would be leaving the bat on his shoulder for the first 3 pitches and then if he happens to get to 3-0, MAYBE let him swing in hopes of a dong.

That shouldn't really make you feel better. It shouldn't make me feel better that the bullpen has been nails when it needs to be? Do you believe that it's not important to prevent runs when trailing? Do you believe it's OK to be bad in those spots? And that the sample sizes you're referencing in those splits are all that meaningful anyway? They've pitched and overall they've been shaky. It doesn't make me feel better that they've been good when leading.
-
I keep seeing things talking about the Cubs bullpen needing to step up, but I really don't feel like the bullpen has really been a problem. They've given up some runs in games that were already losses, but when they've needed to shut things down, they have. I'm much, much more concerned about the offense than the pitching. That shouldn't really make you feel better.

No horsefeathering thank you.

HIGHLY encouraging?
-
I think it's either that or swap Addy and Willly.

humanize? i want you to laugh at his goofy ass.

Yeah not sure where that or "Country Joe" came from. But he was a star quarterback in college. Pretty sure he put out a country album (song?) back in the 80's or so. every time i post this i have to mention the fact that i horsefeathering love the part where he checks his phone mid song

Was West the guy Arrieta got into a shouting match with maybe in August or so?

Javy's swings and misses this series http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161101/ff177ac7ceadc272297e9dd40fe9ce8d.jpg

none. i don't think anyone wants you to say that or ever wanted you to say that I didn't ask you because I have absolutely zero interest in your preferences about what I say. you asked the question and got the answer
-
well, if you completely take out the human elements and drown out the excitement in pharmaceuticals or rely only on numbers divorced of context, then yeah, they might be somewhat equal. maybe. Sometimes I have trouble telling people apart if they have similar haircuts or play the same positions
-
that's just dumb. today is "win today and you can win the world series tomorrow." none of us has seen that. arguing that Game 6 of the WS is equivalent to Game 7 of an NLCS makes no sense at all. but you do you. In emotional terms or whatever, sure. But in terms of championship utility, there is no difference between a 50% chance to win a 7-game series and a 50% chance to win game 7. there are a lot of differences, actually. every moment in that game 7 is much higher leverage. while that's the same for both participants, it's still a hell of a lot different. and more was accomplished and banked to get to that point.
