  1. Now we just need CubbieBum and yanrslatr appearances JC and Jon, too. I remember JC actually showed up out of nowhere for Rizzo's debut. Figured if he'd show up for that, he'd have shown up sometime in the past 2 seasons.
  2. I hadn't finished reading the post when I was about to ask if MU was Mizzou.
  3. Check the rotation thread. There's an article about it.
  4. i just realized that wednesday is a day game. i don't want to clinch at 3 pm on a wednesday when i'm at work. please lose one. I'm fine with letting the chips fall where they may but yes I'd prefer a night celebration at Wrigley. The only thing that sucks is not controlling our clinch destiny. The Cardinals head to the west coast starting thursday so all of their games are later than ours meaning if we fail to clinch in our game, we risk the Cubs officially clinching at like midnight from a Cardinals loss. That will set up the still awesome but slightly less 'celebrate after the next game' scenario. If that happens, I hope we can at least win that game this time so we don't celebrate after a loss. We'd control our clinch destiny, because we clinch if we win though... In the scenario where we take 2/3 in STL, I mean.

  6. i'm not gonna be heartbroken if we lose a game during this series so i can potentially see them clinch on thursday night not gonna be heartbroken about making the busch locker room stink of champagne in early september, either, though, reminding all of their opponents that the home team got eliminated from the division race before september 15th.
  7. we all forgot the space before the exclamation points, damn it
  8. Would this be hard to do given the great board crash of 2016, or can you just move one thread over at a time pretty easily?
  9. Damn...I knew Gonzo got really good when he roided up and went to AZ, but I had no idea he was 9 WAR (well, 8.9) good (one year). I really liked him when he was on the Cubs for some reason
  10. Greetings from beautiful Broadview, IL !
  11. fred's toad suck anecdotes: Weird anecdote...someone earlier referenced a story where Fred would call Burnitz "Beer Nutz" or something like that...Jeromy Burnitz went to Conroe High School (before the renovation Fred is talking about obv). I found this out because I had to look up Cut and Shoot, TX on Wikipedia to confirm that it was a real place. As for more Cubs connections, so did Andrew Cashner.
  12. Game thread forum name thing is beyond perfect.
  13. i hate that we spoiled a perfectly good RD game
  14. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-jon-lester-rotation-cubs-bits-spt-0912-20160911-story.html
  15. haha, i like this guy. [tweet]https://twitter.com/mqmoody/status/775166783883976704[/tweet]
  16. the bullpen picture isn't really going to be all that complicated
  17. the offense has really looked like horsefeathers since they scored their 9th run
  18. Was that what he said to describe the spot in the lineup after the guy on deck? Awesome. Specifically for the game thread starters when he'd notify the posters who were up
  19. so i guess cease was good again tonight? horsefeathers it, call him up now so we don't waste any of those 100 mph heaters before his arm explodes
  20. shouldn't be deciding the playoff rotation based on home/road ERA splits Eh, I'd usually agree with you but Hendricks is a guy who seems tied to his routine and there was an article the other day where he talked about how it's much easier for him to go through his pre-game routine at Wrigley. I have no problem having him go Game 1 or Game 2 to get him the start at home. that's probably him just giving the media an answer to explain away the splits because they asked him about them to me the split is more likely than anything to be a coincidence and using it to decide the rotation in the playoffs makes about as much sense to me as wanting to move bryant down the order last year on the road would've.
  21. this game went from oil painting to ugly blowout win real fast
  22. Lester Arrieta Hendricks Lackey Hendricks has a 1.21 era at home and 3.09 on the road. Pitch him in game 2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk shouldn't be deciding the playoff rotation based on home/road ERA splits
  23. well the same gun had him around 94-95 earlier in the game
