  1. I'm all for laughing at the Cardinals but this is the lamest attempt at a gotcha ever [tweet] [/tweet]
  2. Seriously. I'm actually fat now, but back when I was a ridiculously skinny 205-210 pounds, at 6'4", BMI had me as overweight. That's the last time I paid attention to that number. I mean, it's flawed as it is, but when you specifically use it to judge professional athletes it's literally the worst possible use of it. I'm not sure you could come up with a worse application if you tried.

  4. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie...I wish I didn't know the whole playoff crapshoot thing. Would be a much better feeling. That said, it's good knowing that we have a better shot than any one team. Just sucks knowing the way people will judge this historically good team if we don't beat the odds and the field. That said, I'm way more excited than I am worried about any of that.
  5. Never forget the very first anti-Theo meatball rage was for not even interviewing Sandberg.
  6. [tweet] [/tweet] Yikes. I'm good on calling this one a bust for the foreseeable future (not that I blame him for getting hurt - but it's obviously a huge setback for his development). Hope Floyd works out much better.
  7. Basically Deadspin was WAY too kind in their dismantling of this nonsense. This deserves a royal FJM-ing. They based it on BMI? LMFAO How incredibly stupid.
  8. my reason is way better than whatever his is also i'm glad i'll at least get to watch an hour or so of the game when we pregame/eat at one of the rosemont bars Oh horsefeathers, you have to go to Rosemont for it too? I'm a boring suburbanite now, so Rosemont is actually easier.
  9. If you do all Cubs with Boston OF and Boston DH, you get this 85.4% YOUR SCORE 63.7 WAR TOTAL Your team will reach Game 7 of the World Series. You've built a really good squad. Not a great one, mind you, but a really good one. Enough to win the World Series? It'll have to go the distance.
  10. I had that except for Washington OF vs. Boston, and lost like 10 WAR. That seems off. Harper, Turner, and Werth vs Betts, Bradley, and Benintendi? That doesn't seem all that off. By fWAR it's like a 7 win difference, but that's partly because Benintendi only has 34 games. Not sure how exactly they figure it, but my point is the Red Sox OF is much better.
  11. Kind of interesting as hes a nickel. Played outside this week
  12. Went with Boston OF, Cubs IF, Cubs C, Dodger SP, Cubs RP, Ortiz DH 79.8% YOUR SCORE 60.6 WAR TOTAL Your team will get swept in the World Series. You did it. You defied the odds and made the 2016 World Series. But you know all those people who played this game and scored 80 percent or better? You'll be playing one of them -- and it won't be pretty.

  15. Welcome to the forum! (now turn off that silly ass tapatalk sig thing)
  16. yup. it's one thing to take the "let's win 95-100 games a year for a few years and see where the chips fall" but it's another to have to actually see the dominance and then face the gauntlet knowing that the next opportunity is a year away if things go well
  17. it's just preseason so whatever, but everything went to horsefeathers once the backups came in
  18. who is the fifth guy? tonight it was taj
  19. the starting lineup looks pretty fun to watch
  20. my reason is way better than whatever his is also i'm glad i'll at least get to watch an hour or so of the game when we pregame/eat at one of the rosemont bars
  21. Season ticket holders are getting their entire playoff sets right about now.
  22. BTW guys 538 has us at 25% to win it all.
  23. My email came on Saturday.
  24. Just got 'em.
