  1. This is our 6th series against Pittsburgh since he got called up and will be the 6th time we’ve faced him. He’s faced the Cards 5 times (and is 0-4 against them, the only team he’s lost to more than once) though he didn’t face them in one of the four series last year.
  2. Relative to this, Skubal had a poor start today. 6 K's and 2 BBs. Of course he pitched 7 shutout innings.
  3. I've been enjoying the second period much more than the first.
  4. So, does our national team suck? It seems like we kind of suck.
  5. One of the Dodger teams of the last few years played at a 116 win pace for like 4 1/2 months and then went on something like a 1-15 stretch.
  6. The only way it works is excluding the Reds and Brewers but that requires backdating to May 26. 10-12, take out the 6-3 against the Central teams puts you at 4-9. And even then it's still really dumb for all the reasons everyone else has mentioned so far.
  7. Again, why are we focused on the last 13 games while ignoring the 13-8 record against over .500 teams before then? If the Cubs started 4-9 but then went 13-8 would you have the same narrative? Probably not. There are intelligent reasons to critique the Cubs. You're just not making them.
  8. Okay good to know we've cleared that up. Mets > Cubs > Dodgers since the Dodgers are .500 against over .500 teams and we won the season series against them.
  9. Well it’s too bad those games from before Apr 23 don’t count in the standings.
  10. I’ve got good news for you because the Cubs aren’t either!
  11. It was frustrating in that we knew we had a ton of talent yet were playing .500 baseball. I know it was also exciting because we had a ton of young talent, but right now we’re winning games. In 2016 we won games right from the start. Winning is more fun to me. That’s not to say 2015 wasn’t fun and exciting. But if I’m ranking the three years of 15, 16 and 25, the 2015 season ranks third (obviously this year could still take a down turn, though hopefully not).
  12. The last two months of 2015 were great but the first 4 were frustrating. Sure we ended with 97 wins but we were 52-47 on July 28. The 2016 season was great outside of a 3 week stretch where we went 5-15. The other 142 games we beat the horsefeathers out of the league at a 112 win pace.
  13. And even then, they play Mon and Thu in Florida, but then Sat back in Edmonton. Os they have the extra day off when they’re staying in Florida.
  14. Slightly different angle, this thing could have gone in directly, goalie could have accidentally knocked it in or the Oilers player could have knocked it in accidentally. And yet it stays out.
  15. Watching at a bar in Vancouver. That was a fun reaction when they tied it.
  16. Spurs fired Ange. Thomas Frank is the betting favorite to take over with Marco Silva second. Thanks for the trophy, wish him the best wherever you go next, but I think he had to go.
  17. The 99-00 Lakers weren’t as dominant statistically, but the Thunder remind me of that team a bit. Dominant regular season team (LA was 67-15, Thunder 68-14), never made the finals before (this was OKC’s first conf finals, Lakers were swept in 98 in the conf finals) and struggled a bit in the playoffs (Lakers more so than the Thunder so far as they were 11-6 entering the finals and ended up 15-8).
  18. After beating the Dodgers on May 13, the A’s were 22-20. They’re currently 23-39.
  19. Nimm-oh no. I hope there's a catch probability for it because this is pretty bad.
  20. Spurs will be the Knights, PSG will be Guest, of course.
  21. Man that was an ass kicking. Not surprised PSG but surprised they won like that. Rough end of the year for Inter. Lose the UCL final, lose Serie A by a point, lose in the semis of the Coppa Italia. They also lost the final of the Italian Supercup.
