  1. This is a nice fake rally. Please turn it into a real rally.
  2. Cubs allowed a run in the first inning in only 3 of their first 12 games. Since then, they've allowed a run in the first inning in 13 of the last 18 games.
  3. Most annoying part of the Tottenham loss is the "look they choked again" and "they haven't learned from 2016" stories. Did people really think they'd win 13 straight games? Of course they were going to lose one of these because that's how soccer goes sometimes. The only reason this was someone of a title race was the had picked up 50 of 57 points since losing at Man U on Dec 11. And it's also only one game. If they go out and beat Man U next weekend, will they all of a sudden have learned from 2016?
  4. We're going streaking! The Cubs pulled out another nail biter for their third straight win and they're now 7-2 in series this year. The Yankees come in with the second best record in the AL and like to hit a lot of dongs so Hendricks will need to keep the ball down and hit his spots. CUBS are 16-12 when they play a baseball game CUBS are 7-6 at home CUBS are 3-2 when Hendricks starts CUBS are 0-0 against the Yankees CUBS are 4-9 all time against the Yankees in the regular season CUBS are 1-3 on Friday's Go CUBS!!
  5. Somewhere Banedon is angry this game didn't get called a tie after 12 innings.
  6. Because they're really pumped over getting out of that? Calm down, Buzz. He would hate 15 Cubs players if he was a fan of another team.
  7. Sam Holbrook is an idiot. I don't know if both teams were warned before the game but Gausman hit Bogaerts in the second inning today and Holbrook immediately ejected Gausman. Problem is, the pitch was a 77 mph curveball. I get that there have been a few beanballs/attempted beanballs between the two teams and you want to keep things under control but this is some LaRussa logic. If it was a fastball, sure, eject him. But it's a curveball. Think about it for a second before you go and toss a pitcher.
  8. It wasn't pretty but the Cubs picked up the W tonight. Going strictly by the box score since I wasn't able to watch but Jake was decent and the pen shut things down with the lead. We'd all like more blowouts but they all count the same in the standings. CUBS are 15-12 when they play a baseball game CUBS are 6-6 at home CUBS are 2-3 when Dickbag McHorseteeth starts CUBS are 2-1 against the Phillies CUBS are 2-0 on Thursday's CUBS are 15-12 when they allow a run in the first inning Go CUBS!!
  9. The Nationals are 17-9 and have the biggest RD at +45, which means their record is pretty much right on their pythag (16.4 wins). For comparison, last year the Cubs were 20-6 with a +93 RD at this point (pythag 21.6 wins). So even after 3 blowout wins in the past week, the Nats RD isn't even half what our was at the same point last year.
  10. All of which were in the first inning.
  11. The Cubs we know and love showed up (for the most part) tonight. We got 6 XBH, including 3 dongs, a lockdown bullpen (retired all 12 batters faced) and a decent start from Lester. Hopefully that was the first of a long winning streak. CUBS are 14-12 when they play a baseball game CUBS are 5-6 at home CUBS are 3-2 when Arrieta starts CUBS are 1-1 against the Phillies CUBS are 1-2 on Wednesday's Go CUBS!!
  12. Why the horsefeathers are our starters incapable of going through the first inning scoreless?
  13. Cubs haven't really been playing like World Champions yet this year and if they want to start doing so with this game, that would be great. CUBS are 13-12 when they play a baseball game CUBS are 4-6 at home CUBS are 2-3 when Lester starts CUBS are 0-1 against the Phillies Go CUBS!!
  14. So why did they start this one when it's still raining hard?
  15. Thought this was funny.
  16. Raised his OPS by 200 points today. He also cost me 2.5 categories in fantasy. Would have won 2 more and tied a third if he goes 6-6 with 4 2B instead of 1 2B and 3 HR. /nobodycaresaboutmyfantasyteam
  17. That should do it on the title race. Really needed Everton to get a result today.
  18. David Ross is willing to work there for free so you know they must be a bunch of monsters. They were good people until they hired Ross. His bad influence probably turned them into monsters.
