  1. you might notice i didn't exactly go out on a limb or think anything all that outrageous needed to happen http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=63617 and i was hardly the only one who thought that team had 90s win upside and a shot at the division (little did we know the cardinals would win 100+ games with that stupid roster). check out SSR and kyle. Oh, I certainly thought it was possible myself. I'm sure there are a couple old posts from me where I said, "hey, if this goes right, and that goes, right, blah blah..." But I don't think any of us thought it was LIKELY for us to win 97, or even 90 games last year. IIRC, most of us seemed to predict a little bit over .500, and maybe a shot at the wild card if we got lucky. I mean, our front office came out and said a long time ago that they had a 5 year plan. Wasn't last year year number 4? I thought it was pretty much accepted that we were about a year ahead of schedule with this project. all i said had to go right was that arrieta's 2014 wasn't a mirage. all kyle and ssr said needed to happen was good health.
  2. uhh that is neither true nor does it have anything to do with anything Excuse me? I don't think any of us were projecting the Cubs for more than like mid-80's in wins last season. you might notice i didn't exactly go out on a limb or think anything all that outrageous needed to happen http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=63617 and i was hardly the only one who thought that team had 90s win upside and a shot at the division (little did we know the cardinals would win 100+ games with that stupid roster). check out SSR and kyle.
  3. he said that the cubs would decline because teams that take big jumps (2014-15) usually fall back. nevermind the fact that the 2015 team had a drastically different roster than 2014, rendering anything about 2014 irrelevant, and nevermind the offseason the cubs had. i just thought it was a really, really poor choice of an example of a plexiglas team. if he wanted a good plexiglas team, the astros might've been a better choice. And never mind the fact that they weren't supposed to be good until 2016 anyway. The whole 2015 season was just a bonus. uhh that is neither true nor does it have anything to do with anything
  4. from the mlb network highlights i saw of the pirate series, it seemed like their guys were much the same.
  5. What does the "plexiglass" refer to again? he said that the cubs would decline because teams that take big jumps (2014-15) usually fall back. nevermind the fact that the 2015 team had a drastically different roster than 2014, rendering anything about 2014 irrelevant, and nevermind the offseason the cubs had. i just thought it was a really, really poor choice of an example of a plexiglas team. if he wanted a good plexiglas team, the astros might've been a better choice.
  6. I think he may be making fun of Dan Shaughnessy and his UConn women's basketball tweet. i know less than nothing about anything relating to college sports, but i figured that part was jokey. i'm more making fun of him for making that tweet after a month ago projecting them to decline.
  7. i didn't even know if the ball had landed or what when coomer told me it was being cut off
  8. just saw a clip of fowler's catch. thank god he didn't ben grieve himself.
  9. they weren't standing O'ing a random strikeout Guess I needed green font. i figured it might've been that, but i wasn't sure if you knew it was a standing O or not
  10. fair/foul on a rizzo bomb that apparently went above the foul pole (according to pat)
  11. Imagine if we had Max Scherzer and he had just given up a game tying homer to Tommy LaStella.
  12. i want to know what word this is Go with the Bob Sanders theory and you can't be disappointed. I figured he was dropping the Andrew Shaw special.
  13. He's about as homophobic as you. well I don't think there's a bigger [expletive] in here than you i want to know what word this is
