  1. Should have let Lester field it. At least the runner would still be on first.
  2. So Marisnick destroys Lucroy, giving him a concussion and a broken nose and he gets a two game suspension. Last night, an Angels relief pitcher plunked Marisnick intentionally in the upper back and gets a three game suspension. I know it’s a pitcher so he’s not going to pitch every game. I’m fully behind giving pitchers (especially starters) longer suspensions because they can’t pitch every day. And this pitch was too high - it was a few inches from maybe hitting Marisnick in the head. Pitchers retaliate all the time and, as long as there’s no brawl, the most that usually happens is they get tossed. This pitcher didn’t get tossed so if they suspended him for a token game because of it, I’d be fine with that. But you can’t give the pitcher a longer suspension.
  3. Was just about to ask why Joe is leaving Kintzler in and he gets the DP.
  4. Don’t horsefeathers this up Kintzler.
  5. Too bad Kyle Ryan’s going to make sure that streak continues.
  6. Clearly Mojo needs to start tracking how many days it’s been since Rizzo homered like he does for KB.
  7. he has the second best numbers of his career and he is notoriously streaky with the power. i worry about everything but this one is odd. Yeah, during is drought he's got a .795 OPS, and that's before today's 2-3 with a BB. We've seen him slump with a sub .500 OPS (last year) so this is nothing.
  8. Good job, Albert. Could have walked to first if you were paying attention.
  9. Fun fact (that's actually not fun)! The Cubs are 50-44 while the Marlins are 34-57. The Cubs have won 4 straight games twice this year. The Marlins have done it 3 times.
  10. Narrator: “It was longer than 10 days.”
  11. Solid work Russell, you useless sack of horsefeathers.
  12. Rockies gave up 17 runs to the Reds on Saturday and then another 9 on Sunday. They’re down 13-0 to the Giants in the 5th inning today. Oh, and it’s a doubleheader today.
  13. Two straight days of good hitting and good pitching? Did we transport back to 2016? Now, I know you all are thinking the second half Cubs have been activated. But what if, and bare with me here, it's just a continuation of the first half home Cubs. The correct answer, at least for the next week, is who gives a horsefeathers because we've got 6 more home games coming up. The Cubs are facing a good pitcher in this one which means one (or more) of the board's resident ninnies is surely wondering how the Cubs will ever score any runs, especially since he's pitched well in two starts against the Cubs this year. Bad news for Castillo is both of those starts were in the first half and not at Wrigley. Go CUBS!!!
  14. That was epic but boy did Federer ever blow it. Up 5-3 in the 1st set tiebreak and he loses 4 straight points including a couple bad errors. Then two match points in the 5th set at 8-7 (I think) and he can’t convert. That one will sting for him for a while.
  15. So the Cubs got good pitching and good hitting on the same day? I wasn't aware they were allowed to do that. You see something new in baseball every day I guess. I believe this is the first time the Cubs have won a series since sometime in 2018 (at least that's how it seems) and while that's nice, getting a sweep to start the second half would be even better. Get it done, jerks. Go CUBS!!!
  16. http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=62414 There were actually 43 posts in that game thread which was easily a September high for that year. It was also the rare thread that Fred didn’t start (RIP).
  17. True story: The Cubs have only lost one game in the past 9 days. I mean sure, they've had more off days than games in that time but you've got to start somewhere. In other news, the Cubs won today while everyone else in the division lost so that's good. Would be nice if that happened a couple more times this weekend. Go CUBS!!!
  18. Posey slam in the 10th!
  19. I would go with Russell. His ceiling was higher. Was his ceiling all that much higher if Schwarber could’ve stayed at catcher? I guess I was assuming he wouldn’t have stayed at catcher but if he could have then that definitely changes things.
  20. I would go with Russell. His ceiling was higher.
