  1. Happ never ceases to amaze with his magical ability to swing and miss repeatedly at pitches right over the plate.
  2. It's going to be a horsefeathering disaster and I'm going enjoy every horsefeathering minute of it. I love seeing stupidity punished in sports teams. Hey, let's hire this guy who hasn't coached in a decade and really was only good for a few years (took over a 4-12 Raiders team and had a good 5 year run. Took over a solid TB team, won a Super Bowl, then won 10+ games once in the next 6 years). Oh, and we're going to hand him a 10 year horsefeathering contract for $10M a year. Hey, let's cut a punter for supposed personality issues, but then trade a third round pick for a guy with multiple drug suspensions (I don't particularly care about weed but he was still suspended) and was demoted to the practice squad for ripping his team/coach/QB for a lack of targets. Hey, let's trade a dude who was an All-Pro at two positions in 2015, an All-Pro at one position in 2016 and won Defensive POY that year, is only 27 and in the prime of his career because we don't want to pay him. Oh, and the reason we can't pay one of the best pass rushers in the league is because we gave a slightly above average QB a huge contract after one good year where the team had a fluky 12-4 record because they went 8-1 in games decided by 7 points or less.
  3. This is absolutely correct. But there is no horsefeathering way we win the next two. There's no horsefeathering way we come back from 5-2 down in the 9th against the Giants. There's no horsefeathering way we come back from back-to-back shutouts against the Dodgers. There's no horsefeathering way we come back from 3-1 down against the Indians. There's no horsefeathering way we win the division when we're 2 games under .500 and 5.5 games back at the ASB. Don't get me wrong, odds are you're right. We probably won't win the next two. But there's roughly a 25% chance we do.
  4. If St. Louis doesn't win it I don't give a rat's ass if that means Milwaukee does Yeah, Milwaukee is clearly the lesser of two evils. The Cardinals would have to suck for a decade for me to hate any team more than them. And even then it would take another team being really good and annoying the entire time.
  5. Bloop and a garbage double and it’s second and third.
  6. Inch either way and it’s tied. Unlucky.
  7. Come on Murphy. Pretend it’s the 2015 NLCS.
  8. Damn. Thought that was going over his head.
  9. Well there’s Willy’s hit for the series.
  10. Cubs will somehow not score this inning.
  11. At least Gore wouldn’t GIDP and could actually bunt for a base hit. I would assume he’s at least decent in the field because of his speed.
  12. That’s Almora’s 74th GIDP of the year.
  13. Bolder prediction, both of those statements are wrong.
  14. Our non-Hamels starting pitchers probably are.
  15. He’s not perfect but I at least have confidence in Heyward to have a decent eye at the plate.
