  1. Holy horsefeathers KB. That was as middle middle as a fastball could be. Swing the horsefeathering bat.
  2. why couldnt they start this game at 1 today? Because then the Brewers would cry about us getting special treatment.
  3. I hope we skip over Blauser and go right to Rossy (or whatever random crappy middle infielder that you want who has worn #3 that we’ve employed over the last decade).
  4. Yeah we need the 2 game L column lead at minimum going in to the weekend, imo. Can’t be depending on Tigers win(s)/sweeping the Cardinals. We should really win these next 3 games and take care of business ourselves and not depend on the stupid cardinals for help. Yeah, if we win and the Cards win tomorrow, we're fine. Then we're 2.5 up with 5 to play (4 for Mil). Then I only care that we win on Wednesday. Worst case scenario for us now is Milwaukee sweeps. That means they're, at worst, 1.5 back going into our extra game on Thursday.
  5. Tommy Pham is hitting .347/.444/.620 since moving to the Rays.
  6. This will come as a surprise to literally no one, but Bob Nightengale probably has no idea what he's talking about in this case either. [tweet] [/tweet]
  7. I think the most frustrating part of this season is we haven't had any sustained stretch of dominant baseball. In 2015 and 2017, we lit up the league in the second half. In 2016, we lit up the league for the entire season outside of 20 games before the ASB. We haven't had that this year. In 2015, we had 11 stretches where we went 12-3 or better over 15 games. 2016 we had 22. 2017 we had 8. This year we have 4. In 2015, we had 15 stretches where we went 15-5 or better over 20 games. 2016 we had too many for me to count. Last year we had 4. This year we have 2. Last three years we had a second half winning percentage of at least .660, this year we're at .571. This isn't to say we're not a good team because we obviously are. Just saying why it feels different from the last three years.
  8. Lets hope this is like the White Sox series where we lay an egg the first game but still win the series.
  9. Just because you hit a homer doesn’t mean you have to give the run right back, Cole.
  10. Cubs won today. That was good. They should probably do that again. The good news is one of the Brewers or Cardinals will lose tomorrow. The bad news is one of them will win tomorrow. As long as the Cubs keep winning the other series doesn’t matter to our division chances.
  11. I, for one, am going to miss Hawk. I’m going to miss seeing highlights of him despondent when the crappy White Sox make dumb plays that cost them a game. I’m going to miss his over the top rants about some perceived injustice by the umpires against the White Sox. I’m going to miss him going nuts about some play he thinks is called wrong by the umpires when in reality the play was called correctly and he’s too angry to realize it. And most of all, I’m going to miss his dejected “And this game is ova” followed by 30 seconds of silence when the White Sox lose on a walkoff.
  12. Chi/Mil/StL 4-3/6-0 3-4/5-1 2-5/4-2/6-0 1-6/3-3/5-1 0-7/2-4/4-2
  13. Hopefully they care this little the next four days also.
