  1. I really don't understand why you bother to bring the infield in there. The 12th run isn't that important, ending the damn game is.
  2. SOLER! Also, Grichuk looks really uncomfortable going back on the ball.
  3. Drop Carlos Gomez, add Addison Russell
  4. Why is fedorowhatever still up? They dont need 3 catchers and it's not like he's exactly a good hitter.
  5. Now it's time for back-to-back-to-back-to-back homers. 2 down, 2 to go.
  6. The Cubs are hitting the crap out of this pitcher, he's just gotten lucky so far.
  7. you done lost your marbles, son took two good throws to get him on a play that was close and the run would've won the game...worst case you end up with a runner in scoring position with your best hitter up and you literally only need a single run. Or, you hold him and have bases loaded (they would've walked Rizzo) with 1 out and a very hot hitter up in Zobrist. It was a bad send, especially with the outfielders playing deep, and not that close.
  8. Same reason that Heyward was out on Sunday: he had to hold up to make sure the ball wasn't caught.
  9. Only one Pitt starter managed to make it through the 5th, and even then that was it and he gave up 6 runs
  10. Nobody in particular, really. The Cubs miscalculated the value of those bonus slots basically (that, or PTR really was as PTR as we joked). It amounted to some savings off the penalty and nothing more. Think that was the same year they traded Torreyes for bonus money. My thought was that they were hedging their bets for if they didn't get Jimenez, it would help prevent them from going too far over, maybe even prevent getting penalized the next year. Basically, getting Jimenez was going to blow their pool away totally no matter what, with no way to get enough slot money to cover. But if they didn't get him, they may have been able to get enough slot money to prevent some of the penalties. They got Jimenez, so it didn't matter in the end.
  11. That's the thing. Them losing doesn't piss me off. Losing to horsefeathering St Louis does.
  12. Alright, lets sweep these chumps. However, to do it, the offense might need to help as well.
  13. One down, two to go. Hopefully Heyward can get things going and really stick it to them.
  14. Ok, the Rockies managed to not look like a pile of horse crap for a couple games, but it's time to get back on track and beat the crap out of the Cards Hopefully Lackey can come out and skip the part where he sucks, while Leake continues to suck.
  15. Hawks in 7 Stars in 6 Ducks in 5 Kings in 6 Caps in 5 Penguins in 6 Panthers in 6 Lightning in 5 Hawks in 6 Ducks in 5 Caps in 6 Lightning in 5 Hawks in 5 Caps in 5 Hawks in 7
  16. Ah, yes. Billy Hamilton, wasn't he supposed to be some great game changer with his speed? Oh right, speed is useless in the dugout.
  17. Hammel bunted into a FC, two more walks, another FC, Rizzo fly out.
  18. For old times sake: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/sweetpeteman/Sotod.jpg
  19. A Bryce Harper B Giancarlo Stanton; Kris Bryant C Schwarber; Miguel Cabrera; Carlos Correa //////////////-Schwarber,+Fielder/ -Fielder, +Trumbo D Heyward; Carlos Gomez; Travis Shaw; Maikel Franco; Mark Reynolds /////////////////-Gomez,+Russell WC PM
  20. After a season off, I guess I'll do it again
  21. Ok, it's official, the commercials are horsefeathering annoying this year.
  22. That...was almost anti-climatic.
  23. I don't think DeSean Jackson understands that the ball needs to cross the line, not him.
  24. The laces! The laces! It was a 27 yard FG, if a pro kicker misses that, it's because he choked, not because of the laces.
