  1. some pitchers literally say they are looking to pitch to more contact, including arrieta and sale this year Pitchers say a lot of things. Sale I'm almost positive is trying to not scare people with his drop in velocity by saying something that sounds strategic but he's literally just not missing as many bars with his stuff anymore Sale and Cooper both said it was an objective before starting this season.
  2. that was shades of fowler w/his old positioning
  3. the worst part about last night's game was limiting awesome cubs to terrible braves comparisons [tweet] [/tweet]

  5. when you go that long without one, it probably makes the pregame notes :dontknow:
  6. even when arrieta gives stuff up it's almost always off [expletive] lol
  7. Taking a leak at the top of the lineup? I feel ya, bro. nah just forgot to turn the game on
  8. there's no need to argue with the people who think there are glaring problems on this team. they are insane and should just be made fun of until they stop posting crazy things.
  9. Has he said anything about how excited he is to be back
  10. Oh my God you are putting way too much thought into this and he absolutely was traded as a result of the signing.
  11. i'm not sure what LLF is being jumped on about here...funny or not, it was obviously a jokey reference to coghlan losing his spot (and being sentenced to baseball hell) on a 110 win behemoth as a direct and immediate result of the fowler signing.
  12. Interesting...I grew up nearby in Skokie. Is this the son? http://nypost.com/2014/01/26/muhammad-alis-son-shut-off-dad-living-in-poverty-in-chicago/
  13. http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-japanese-muhammad-ali-20160606-snap-htmlstory.html
  14. same...it's hard to say with any certainty but i guess it's just a confidence thing after the way those guys got worked in the big leagues. just couldn't find it again? or worked on adjustments to improve their chances at success in the bigs and the adjustments don't take/make them worse, i guess.
  15. They've turned into the 2005-2006 era Cubs "Juan Pierre, now that's a name. Trade whatever you can to bring him here!" "Glendon had a good season or two even though he was horrible last year. I think we can rehabilitate him" "Burnitz is a great replacement for Sosa, they both hit home runs" "Phil Nevin? He's still playing? Seriously? .......[expletive] it just get him" was burnitz the one we signed because of something like his average vs rhp with RISP? or was it jacque maybe?
  16. what the deleted tweets said shawon dunston jr @SdunstonJr333 Want to thanks the cubs for drafting me in 2011 and taking a chance on me, but I cannot be more excited to be joining the San Francisco cont 6:21 PM - 9 Jun 2016 15 15 Retweets 20 20 likes Follow shawon dunston jr @SdunstonJr333 Giants after being traded earlier today. Excited for the opportunity to play for the team I grew up cheering for. Go black n orange! 6:21 PM - 9 Jun 2016
  17. especially because you'll likely be looking at the back of a sign and/or video board
  18. Just for fun, 2nd order has us at .801, which would round to 130.
  19. plz no i can only stomach so many trades for replacement level players (i wanted to say sub for this to make more sense but starlin got himself back over in the past few days)
