  1. Off to a good start. Get some runs here, Cubs.
  2. I'd be surprised if it was wet Sunday. Looks like tomorrow is the best chance for rain (and even then, it's only a 30-40% chance tomorrow). Hopefully it just rains in the morning and stays dry for the game. I don't particularly want to get wet.
  3. The Cubs are 3-5 in their last eight games. However, two of those losses were by 1 run, two by 2 runs and 1 by 3 runs. A couple things go different, they could have been 5-3 or better. Additionally, in that stretch, the Cubs are a +3 RD because of two big wins over Pittsburgh. Despite going 3-5, the Cubs are still 28-11, which is a pace of 116 wins. And the difference between the Cubs and the second best team (O's, White Sox, Nats, Red Sox) is 0.5 more than the difference between those teams and the 14th best team (Marlins).
  4. Great minds think alike. Whoa... this is getting even weirder. I didn't remember it was you, but we both posted a thread for the "Other Games Week of 4/25" at the exact same time, in which we said basically the exact same thing. Some serious déjà vu. Haha, yeah, those two threads were the first thing I thought of when I saw your post.
  5. Great minds think alike.
  6. Holy crap has he been horrible. Yep. He's been terrible, deGrom's velocity is down 2.5 mph (his K/9 is down from 9.24 and 9.66 the last two years to 5.75) and Matz just missed a start with elbow and forearm tightness.
  7. No idea why Soler is still batting 6th. Russell's been hitting significantly better the last couple weeks and there's no platoon advantage since they're both lefties.
  8. Sorry, cubscott34. Mojo is just doing this because it's Jake against crappy Peavy.
  9. Yeah, ARod would have to be the closest comp. ARod was older, but only going into his age 28 season. He had 7 years and $179M left on the deal with the opt out, so realistically, 4/$98M. He played a premium defensive position and had averaged about 9 WAR the previous four years.
  10. There are three teams with more wins at Turner Field than the Braves do and four other teams with as many wins there as the Braves have.
  11. Sevilla has crushed Liverpool so far in the second half.
  12. Ho hum, another 11 K, 0 BB game for Kershaw. Now up to 88:4 on the K:BB ratio.
  13. I mean, the numbers are pretty amazing from last year: 0.00 ERA 0.00 WHIP Perfect on save opportunities -2.87 FIP and xFIP 0.0 BB/9 27.0 K/9
  14. Well at least something good came out of tonight.
  15. Edwin Jaxon? Phil Humber. Gave up 9 runs and 8 runs in two of his next three starts, got sent to the minors later in the year and then relegated to the bullpen and finished with a 6.44 ERA that year. Career 5.31 ERA also. And his was a perfect game also.
  16. Lakers keep their pick, which was all I really cared about.
  17. And that's three wins in GS and SA for OKC after those teams went 79-3 at home in the regular season.
  18. Durant and Westbrook didn't even shoot very well (17-51). And it would have been significantly worse than Curry and Klay had those two not missed a few shots that were chucked up at the end. OKC has to be beyond excited after that.
  19. I would assume the play is dead but I'm not sure. In that specific scenario, though, they called a DP anyway for the slide by Bautista.
  20. Yeah, Odor is going to get a few games off for that one.
  21. Yeah, if there was any doubt the Cubs are completely in their heads, it's gone now.
  22. I'm choosing to believe Spurs did it so Arsenal would keep Wenger and then underachieve for another year.
  23. Really nice of Spurs to no show basically the last 3 1/2 games. The 2nd half of West Brom was terrible, they lost their minds against Chelsea, did very little against Southampton and had a good 20 minutes today. The Newcastle PK changed everything. Spurs got a goal back and were up a man and Sissoko went down with no contact in the box and the ref took the bait. Very disappointing end to the year.
  24. The 2015 Cards never had a 9 game division lead at any point. http://www.baseball-reference.com/games/standings.cgi?date=2015-06-28 Looks like they were 9 up once, after the games on June 28. That was the high point though.
