  1. The Chicago Cubs had a 2014 season? I remember Iowa and Tennessee playing baseball that season, but not the Cubs. yeah...some fun stuff happened, some that had direct/indirect impacts on the cubs' resurgence Yep. Like you said in your other post, 2014 was when things started to turn. In addition to what you posted: -Rizzo bounced back after his disappointing 2013 (.742 OPS) and started to turn into a stud (.913 OPS) -Bryant was destroying the minors -Schwarber was drafted and destroyed the minors for a couple months -Billy Beane got drunk and traded Russell to us
  2. Can't believe Morrison didn't get tossed for that.
  3. If you end games after 12 innings we'd no longer get position players pitching, which is always fun. The John Baker game was one of the highlights of the 2014 season. Scoreless 16th inning on the mound followed by a walk to start the bottom half and scoring the winning run.
  4. Someone mentioned it in today's game thread but if the Cubs want to just crush some team, I wouldn't mind it at all.
  5. Just for you, TT: http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/11493214/v1310924683/must-c-clips-blackmon-legs-out-insidethepark-homer
  6. Just get it to the 11th and the top of our order will win it.
  7. Duensing in to really put the game out of reach.
  8. These pop ups in big spots are really annoying.
  9. Sweep the Reds. Take first place. Don't give it back.
  10. [tweet] [/tweet] CB Bucknor at it again. He was the third base ump, this ball was hit to left field and he called in an out before getting overruled by the other umps.
  11. Please no GIDP, Miggy. Just let Bryant bat.
  12. One guy gets on and Bryant will hit a walkoff dong.
  13. While the last couple WS winners got off to a great start, that's not always the case: 2012 SF started 18-19 2011 StL started 8-9 and was 50-47 in late July 2010 SF was 40-39 at one point 2009 NYY started 15-17 and they won 103 games 2008 Phi started 11-11 It's still too early to be worried, unless you thought they were going to win 110 games.
  14. In the bottom of the ninth of Nats-Braves, CB Bucknor ruled that a pitch that the batter missed by 6 inches was a foul ball. Would have been a strikeout to end the game. It ended up not mattering but the Braves were only down 2 and had the bases loaded so it easily could have. The players were shaking hands and some of the grounds crew had come onto the field. http://m.mlb.com/video/v1299721883
  15. We're all going to laugh at this stretch when we win 98 games this year but man this is annoying right now.
  16. I know McCutchen didn't like giving up his spot in center getting a teammate suspended seems a bit extreme.
  17. Ref doesn't give a second yellow to Casemiro when it easily could have been but then gives Vidal a second yellow on a play that probably isn't even a foul.
