  2. marshall started 19 games for us in 07, the year OPR was pretty good for us
  3. leave it to hawk to correctly point out that BA is overrated and then be completely wrong about why
  4. yeah but only hitting .254 so..... every chicago sports talk radio caller is gonna be real confused how to feel about him lol i saw some kid on instagram asking her friend why Addy's BA was so "small"...like it didn't make sense that he could be good and be hitting .240 something
  5. Wait, that Neil Greenberg guy looks A LOT like Jon Greenberg
  6. Ha, that typo aside, why even bring up the pre-playoff days? They have no relevance whatsoever. If this were 1950, we'd have a great shot at winning the World Series.
  7. I have ZERO issue with this article and wish there were more of them so that more people would understand this instead of having misguidedly high expectations and then considering the team a failure or saying they choked if/when they lose. Can't tell you how many people I heard saying stuff like, "Same old Cubs," last year after the NLCS. Like, oh, really? Same old Cubs get to the league championship series and win 97 games on the backs of a bunch of guys in their early 20's. Yep, sure thing.
  8. I can handle a tie game in the 9th if the Cubs are up 3-0. Especially if the payoff is having Javy's glorious bat-flip etched upon our collective consciousness forever. But we're getting ahead of ourselves now, David. I forgot...who won the all-star game this year? AL. Cubs'll be at home when they win it.
  9. bryant is no todd frazier defensively
  10. other than having reached creepy looking both young and old looking guy status, i don't really get the strong costas hate then again, i was on vacation and missed the game when he went nuts on strop
  11. lmao Costas going full grandpa on them and recounting some mickey mantle story like it would just blow their minds Bryzzo: wow uh. .... that's interesting thought the same exact thing lmao
  12. So Ronald Torreyes has a 115 wRC+ in 112 PA for the Yankees. Huh. .298/.348/.452 For shits and giggles, add the 8 PA he had with the Dodgers last year and he's got a .300/.353/.455 career line in 120 MLB PA. Actually, the most shocking thing to me is that he's still only 23 (and, oddly enough, just turned that 2 hours ago).
  13. it must be some kind of glitch since the 2016 Cubs tend to break baseball things but if you switch the FG playoff odds to "season stats to date" mode, their WS odds go up to almost 30% http://www.fangraphs.com/coolstandings.aspx?type=1&lg=div&date=current
  14. i don't need that much drama
  15. what if he pitches a cgso in game 4 of the world series to secure the sweep, allowing us not have to have chapman as the lasting image of the final out?
  16. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbX5r1mcmkE just saw this on mlbn...a little annoyed at costas recounting to them every bad thing that has happened to the cubs in the playoffs but i guess that horsefeathers is inevitable
  17. Never forget this idiot [tweet] [/tweet] also check out his exchange with keith law in there lol (it's from last year). it might make you hate keith law less.
  18. yep i was at all his 2 HR game that year, including at milwaukee. go jimmy baseball.
  19. stupid horsefeathering horsefeathering wind
  20. lol no such thing will happen...and even if it did, he'll be out by the 5th inning. wow what a play by nunez wtf
  21. GET YER CHARITY HERE! i laughed out loud and that was before the caption
  22. chapman with those families and kids at the hospital makes me feel pretty damn icky, even though he's obviously attempting to do something good (or being told to)
