    i also reject the premise that the offense was a problem in game 1, but whatever

    well that is just silly and i was never worried about rizzo. russell, fine, he made a mechanical adjustment that seems to have clicked. rizzo's thing was mostly just baseball being baseball. but the opposing pitcher, especially when you're talking clayton [expletive] kershaw over the dudes we beat up on the last two games, definitely matters a lot. come on now. the temperature usually does, too. especially talking 85 vs 45. I thought we were talking about Hill. it became both i don't think what the offense has done the last two days has much bearing on what will happen vs kershaw and hill in 40 degrees this weekend. that doesn't mean i'm all that worried, either, mind you. (nor was that really my point...it's that you would never guess that both we wouldn't feel supremely confident with jake vs rich hill in a game 7 and that we'd get to game 7 of the NLCS despite jake not being god mode) The temp was in the 70's game 1 and the offense was meh save Montero. The biggest change is Russell and Rizzo, and they both had been out of it for a lifetime long time. I doubt temperature has much to do with that

    2008 honestly crushed me more. all my angst about everything about the playoffs stems from 07-08.

    a little surprised how much fresh seeming 2003 baggage there still is for some of you guys. i watched and lived it. i was pulling up yankees tickets and mapquesting the drive. it was awful. but it's so far gone from my consciousness about this team. i actually even liked the 30 for 30 on it.

    Ehh, game 3, Cubs offense was ice cold and Hill left a few up. I don't anticipate the offense being cold in game 7, if we get there i don't think what the offense has done the last two days has much bearing on what will happen vs kershaw and hill in 40 degrees this weekend. that doesn't mean i'm all that worried, either, mind you.

    if i told you, going into this season, that jake arrieta vs rich hill was a matchup we would not feel absolutely incredible about going into a potential game 7 of the nlcs, how insane would you think i'd be? horsefeathering baseball, man (and horsefeathering pitchers)

    Rose has sort of a Barkley dynamic going. And it's hard to be mad when I like what Thomas and ARod are doing that much. I'm basically brushing off the things he says that piss me off and laughing at all the other nonsense.

    home game meetups might be tough for me, but if something happened for a possible world series road game, i'd be down for that
  11. David
    Meh. Theo has a reputation as not being shy to bend rules and such. I frankly horsefeathering love it. Maybe bend rules is the wrong phrasing, but there's been times where there's been smoke that he's kinda pushed the envelope on things. For example, I still wouldn't be shocked if it had been true that we were in touch with Maddon before he opted out. Not saying we did, but it wouldn't shock me in the least if we found out somehow that it had happened.

    Right?! As soon as some noob spouts off about Bartman like they know some history, I quickly school them about Agony being the goat. You pay a guy $5.5 M and he gets handcuffed by a routine DP ball at a crucial moment?! And that bastard NEVER apologized for it, either. Second place goes to Dusty and Rothschild, who apparently had their bums superglued to the bench while Prior imploded. The thing about that team, is that I don't recall it having a lot of leaders. Sammy was always pretty much for Sammy, Alou showed his prima donna tendencies, and poor Kerry had to take it all on his shoulders. I mean, if Mark Grace had still been playing and a Cub, he would have called the IF in, told a crass joke, and Prior would have gotten out of the inning. And then once they all got into the dugout, Grace would have threatened Alou and Agony within an inch of their lives against behaving like such jerks again. The past 10 times I read that post, I thought there was some terribly hilarious play Adrian Gonzalez had made that they should be showing. Had literally NO idea people were talking about 2003. I probably should've, but I didn't.
  13. David
    If there's anything I've taken away about the Dodgers from this series, it's that Adrian Gonzalez seems like a bit of an asshat. Yeah, I never expected him to be the obligatory guy I'd end up thinking was an annoying douche who I now hate.

    i'll gladly go back and trade trash starlin for tyson ross

    ride the soccer wave!

    cubs are not yet in the world series and 538 has them at 51% to win it LOL
  17. David
    i'm not willing to go that far (cemented) yet, but i'm starting to suspect a corner has been turned at a very opportune time.
  18. David
    Addy has a strong case as well. I mean, the 2 HRs are great, but until yesterday he'd been awful and Javy has killed it the whole series, so no. ehhh the two HR were massive, especially at the time they came. they were very very important to two of the 3 wins so far.
  19. David
    guys, i'm starting to believe that javy's offensive approach clicked overnight and he's headed to superstardom now
  20. David
    Rizzo just said they might have to be sleeping with szcur soon lmaooooooooooooooo

    Guys, Roberts taking out Maeda with lester up was the best example of TT's joke about a manager playing a twelve deep game of telephone with a SABR front office
  22. David
    I wanted to send trash ass Castro
  23. David
    I love all of you
  24. David
    You know who is better than Jansen?
  25. David
    Just occurred to me that this team was historically good with no schwarber and heyward laying an egg. I don't expect either of those things next year. Granted, Fowler will probably be elsewhere.
