  1. That would be ridiculously good for our World Series hopes, I don't care what the hell is going on right now...
  2. YES!!! I was going to reverse jinx earlier by posting that the fact that Jerry Hairston Jr. was on this team gave me a little less hope. Awesome
  3. Harden isn't going tonight... At least, not as far as I know... I'm pretty sure it's Lilly tonight and Harden tomorrow, unless you heard some breaking news that I haven't.
  4. Based on that logic, the only way the Reds had a chance of winning was if they went into extras and maybe scored off the pen then.
  5. Threw the ball into the stands
  6. Hasn't this stretch of baseball taught anyone that the team that should win doesn't always win? It's almost comical to call a 1-0 game over in the 2nd or 3rd inning. I don't care who is playing.
  7. Damnit.. I hate not scoring on two out hits
  8. The problem I have is that a sac bunt lowers the odds that the Cubs score that inning (i think), and your asking it from a person who hasn't had a sac bunt in his career and also has an over .500 SLG % for the season. This is the part I take issue with most. The miniscule percent difference (while I'd rather they go the way the numbers say to go) isn't what bothers me so much. Plus, Kyle (I think - or maybe it was Wilco...too lazy to look) made a good point the other night in that those percentages are also set up by the fact, for instance, that a bunt is expected a lot of times in those situations, so the surprise element in hitting away, for instance, probably plays somewhat of a role. Had they bunted with Theriot or something, I probably would've been *meh* with it, instead of irate.
  9. I'm saying that just because they didn't do it doesn't mean it wasn't possible. The fact that the Cubs managed to put together a bad 10 game stretch of baseball when they also happened to have problems with their rotation and some horrendous managerial moves doesn't tell me anything I didn't already know. Now give me a terrible month or something and we'll have a little more to talk about.
  10. Some heavy shadows in that Brewer game
  11. Unless you weren't under the illusion that the team was somehow incapable of a bad 10 game stretch of baseball. I'm not sure that can be said about any baseball team, ever. The 2001 Mariners. I don't think they knew what a slump felt like. That doesn't mean they weren't capable of it.

  13. Why are people so much more likely to believe in personal experience or what they see than cold-hard numbers? That aside...It was also idiotic not to walk Izturis at the end to set up the force at every base and the DP, and they probably should've pinch hit for Dempster with the bases loaded and one out.
  14. Honestly, not being a jerk, this is the most positive thing I've ever seen you post.
  15. that was a NSBB meet up game :x I was at that game... but on a rooftop with work
  16. Something about Cueto, Volquez, and Cordero make them all seem like the same guy
  17. Booya My MLB.tv cut out right when that ball came off his bat and it cut back in with the score at 5-4
  18. Remember when Neifi bunted with two outs in the 9th inning in Wood's first game of 06
  19. CPatt!
  20. yay cpatt
