  1. There are 4 or 5 sections behind the Cubs dugout that are about 90% Cubs fans. Was the same thing yesterday also.
  2. My fantasy team is quite pleased right now.
  3. I enjoyed this part of ESPN's story on it: Like there was ever any sort of chance ARod was going to take less than the full amount he was owed.
  4. http://www.fangraphs.com/coolstandings.aspx 99% to win the division Back to being projected to win 100 also. I didn't check every day but after the sweep of Pittsburgh to go to 47-20, they were projected for 103 wins, which I'm assuming is the high point. EDIT: They were at 103.3 on June 4 when they were 39-15.
  5. Texas is 64-47 with a +2 run differential and they're outperforming their pythag by 8 games. Washington is only 1.5 games better than Texas in the standings but is 15.5 better by pythag.
  6. I love that in 2016 I can't watch the Olympics live on my TV because they have to start their show at 8 pm out here just like on the East Coast. Just show the damn thing at 5 pm.
  7. So many near dongs today. Hopefully I'll get one tomorrow.
  8. Wood started warming last inning and is still throwing in the pen. I bet he'll start the ninth.
  9. That person is a couple sections over from us.
  10. Nothing else to root for so of course the A's fans just started the wave.
  11. That's actually quite a feat. 5-15 stretch to start those 41. Going for 16-6 since. #maths And also, 42 games.
  12. If one of CJ and Grimm continues to be legit, we'll have a sick pen to turn to in October. I mean, Strop-Rondon-Chapman are nasty enough but adding one more dude there would be absurd.
  13. The Cubs lost the only other game I've seen live this year (the Saturday game against SF). I'll be there for the next two so the Cubs better win this time.
  14. This reminds me of an Effectively Wild episode a couple months ago where they discussed how many consecutive homers a pitcher would have to allow to start a game before the manager pulled him.
  15. They knew they had enough for the night and are saving the rest for the next two games.
  16. Sergio Romo got the win today despite not facing a batter. He entered with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th and a runner on first, but the runner was thrown out stealing. The Giants scored in the 10th and Casilla closed it out. First time it's happened since 2009.
  17. Just realized that I'm going to be in Scotland the weekend of Celtic-Rangers at Celtic Park. Despite the potential for fan violence, I'm seriously thinking about trying to get tickets because of how great of an atmosphere it would be.
  18. This was talked about somewhere a couple weeks ago, but wouldn't Dex be only $5M next year? It's a mutual $9M option with a $5M buyout. So for that $9M to happen, both sides would have to opt in, right (i.e. the most likely scenario of Cubs picking it up and Dex declining it)? Also, and I don't think this was talked about, do the Cubs have to decline the option to be able to give him the QO or can they pick it up and when he declines the option, then give him the QO?
