  2. Definitely, although the Jays look scary as hell.
  3. trophy wives are wives you get after you are rich and almost always after your first marriage ends. Don't think that's what's happening here. also, married christian people aren't afraid to touch each other's naughty bits Def not. http://playerwags.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Ben-Zobrist-Wife-Julianna-Zobrist-pics.jpg Not sure how old this is but it's clearly a long ass time ago
  4. i don't know who the booth is but these sound like things a pitchery guy from the 90s like john smoltz would say. It's Jim Kaat, whoever that is he's 77
  5. yes...just somehow make sure trea turner never sees 1B against lester (yeah yeah i know we're good at controlling the running game in lester starts now but still)

  7. I'd say that's overstating it. I don't hate it. It leaves me a little scared, yes, but I'm OK with that. For all of Heyward's issues he's still a plus defender. Zobrist is not, and his good last 3 weeks aside, I'd rather see him on the bench than Heyward, especially facing a pitcher that has the ability to shut us down. It seems like you're just glossing over/completely ignoring the fact that Zobrist is a much, much better hitter, especially vs. LHP.
  8. nats storming back in the 3rd...4-1 and yes turner is obscenely fast.

  15. Laughed entirely too hard at this. Same. I thought I included that. Might've dropped it when I tried trimming my quotes (EDIT - Nevermind, I'm blind). Also, this man is obviously going to take care of business for us.
  16. Why didn't somebody tell me!? OHHHHH I'VE BEEN MAKIN AN IDIOT OUTTA MYSELF! *Inexplicably runs out of the kitchen* It's really amazing how that show basically is as bad now as it was amazing then. How TF does that happen? Every promo I see on Fox for a new episode makes me cringe at its badness.

  20. That's crazy because I remember his curve being pretty damn good in Chicago but it was probably his #2 pitch and I believe he had trouble locating it at times. But there was a time when we were really excited about Rich Hill as maybe a solid #2 of the future for the Cubs. This game sustained me for the entire 06 offseason He had a ton of issues, and still does, with fastball command, but he's flipped the script on how to use a curveball. He used to throw it for swing and misses but now he throws it for strikes and wants the hitters to take the pitch. He's fascinating to watch. Isn't that what most lefties with big loopy curveballs (like Kershaw) do?
  21. He's not the same guy he was in Chicago. The curveball and variations of it are some of the best pitches in baseball. He allowed .33 HR/9 which is the best in baseball for anyone with 100 IP. He will still walk guy which is how you can get to him but since he's made the curveball his primary pitch he's been damn good.

Wasn't his curve the one pitch for which he was known as OPR?
