    Being 6 games up on the Cardinals before May is pretty awesome.

    Yeah, that's weird. Surely there was someone at any other position there that they liked. I guess they felt they needed a backup and liked Cook falling that far and couldn't pass him up.

    Luke Walton has agreed to be the next Lakers coach.

    16-5 is the second best start for the Cubs in the WS era behind 1907, which started 17-4. The +74 run differential is the fourth best after 21 games since 1900, and 18 better than the previous Cubs record (1929). Despite the record, the 1907 team managed only a +25 run differential through 21 games because they had 8 wins by 1 run and 5 by 2.

    There have been 21 instances this year (by 14 different teams) of a team hitting at least 4 home runs in a game.

    So Jack's medicals must be terrible, right?

    I enjoyed the single to left where he said it was line to left and that Javy made a great play on the bounce. For a split second, I thought Javy caught it. All he had to do was say liner to left that drops in before the Baez part.

    Would have had the same three lined up for the second series against Pittsburgh in May also.

    I love this. The actual video is full of the dumbest logic ever. My goodness that video is amazing. "Innings pitched over the last two years 156 and then last year 229. Before then, for three years before then, Skip, he pitched 75 innings, 23.2 innings - only started three games at that time - and then of course you have 51.2 innings." So this was an exact quote. Stephen A. Smith doesn't know how to read B-R (this is not the least bit surprising). Those three years he talked about were actually one year. He threw 75.1 overall in 2013, 23.2 with Baltimore and the rest with the Cubs. And not only that, Stephen A doesn't know how to read numbers because Jake started 5 games with Baltimore that year. Nevermind that he also threw 79.1 in AAA in 2013, because apparently those don't count. His actual innings count by years starting 2011 was 119.1, 170.2, 154.2, 176.2, 229

    Second best 20-game start for the Cubs since 1900. Only one better was 1907, when they started 16-4. They've started 14-6 on six occasions. Related note, I was wondering when the 1906 team got so hot, since they also started 14-6, so I looked up the schedule. At one point, they were 68-30, which was a pace of 105.4 wins. They then finished 48-6, including a stretch of 37-2 with winning streaks of 11, 14 and 12.

    The good thing is that we are good enough that we will have a chance to hit that benchmark at several different intervals this season. The top-5 RDs after 21 games are 91, 86, 84, 73 and 71.
  12. soccer10k
    A little less wind and Fowler has a grand slam earlier so that would have cut the lead to 2 or 3.
  13. soccer10k
    Same here.
  14. soccer10k
    Take Strop out, please.
  15. soccer10k
    Addison!

    Yeah, I'm torn on that. On one had, I'd rather have Leicester win the title by winning at home against Everton because the atmosphere would be way better than on the road. And it would definitely be better than if both lose this weekend. But on the other hand, if Leicester loses or ties and Spurs beat Chelsea, yesterday's game is going to annoy me even more knowing Spurs would be 2 or 3 back instead of 4 or 5.

    If Maness actually throws him a strike.
  18. soccer10k
    My team has a cumulative 2.56 ERA and 1.07 WHIP this year, which are 1st and 2nd in the league. I'm 3-3 in the two categories. Another guy has a 4.35 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP, both of which are 8th in the league (10 players). He's 3-0 in both categories. I hate fantasy.
  19. soccer10k
    The last few minutes of this game have been pretty fun.
  20. soccer10k
    LOL. Great minds think alike or whatever.
  21. soccer10k
    Good to see the Cards can't get Segura out either. He's 4-4 including a HR in the 6th that just put the DBacks up 7-5.
  22. soccer10k
    Disappointing performance today. Had chances to put the game out of reach in the first half but couldn't and let West Brom stick around and get a totally deserved goal. Congrats to Leicester. I can't be too mad becaus it's an amazing story. Alli's going to have to learn to control his temper. He's had a couple other incidents earlier this year, the main one I remember was a kick against Fiorentina in the Europa. Teams are going to start going after him more to try to get him to do something stupid and refs are going to start paying closer attention to him. Great year but they still need to finish it off with another win to secure a spot in the UCL group stage.
  23. soccer10k
    Of course he was. And a source familiar with the Cardinals says former scouting director Chris Correa was just doing general tech support.
  24. soccer10k
    To break it down a bit further: 8-4 with a 0 RD against all other teams (they'd be better if St. Louis hadn't crushed them in 1 game). 1-6 with a -40 RD against the Cubs.
  25. soccer10k
    Going off B-R (since 1900): 1902 Pirates +81 1905 Giants +80 2003 Yankees +79 1918 Giants +73 1939 Yankees +71 We had the 4th best RD after 17 games (behind the Pirates and both Giants teams) and are tied with the 39 Yankees for 5th best RD after 19 games (behind the other four teams above).
