  1. The Smithsonian would HAVE to get a hold of that transcript. It would just be the usual "ballgame," complaints about pixie dust/Cardinal luck, and depressive rants X 50. i am confident my depressive rants will be better than just 50 times that of normal
  2. didn't everyone love the padres' offseason and the padres in general going into this year? this seems like a lot of revisionism.
  3. that was right before rtr said he was going to the corner store for cigarettes
  4. someone pm me when imb's kid is added to the system then
  5. LINE DRIVE, BASE HIT, CAUGHT OUT THERE http://awfulannouncing.blogspot.com/2009/10/chip-caray-botches-potential-tiebreaker.html
  6. can we get this thread a more reasonable title so i don't think the cubs picked somebody up every time someone bumps it?
  7. oops we are now making a sunday afternoon playlist
  8. abandon ship. even if the cubs win who cares. go do something fun with your afternoon. if the cubs remember how to be decent again they'll still be there when you come back. go to the park or stand on your deck or just turn your laptop speaker up real loud in your kitchen and listen to this and many other david bowie songs tomorrow. you'll be much better off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3SjCzA71eM
  9. what is it good for (get it)
  10. FINALLY lester starts vs a lhp and ross is on the dl
  11. lololol truffle and i just made the exact same post
  12. it's hard to figure out what they can do. 1b and 3b are set and good. rf is set and mediocre. lf is not set but has been good. 2b has been bad but we're not replacing russell. c has been okay (if trending downward) and montero is set there. i really don't think we're going to replace castro via trade midseason but i guess you could. that leaves cf, where fowler has been awful for a while now. you could try to find a platoon partner for him, but is this really the move that's going to shake things up and fix everything? i sure don't think so. all we can do is hope our guys start hitting. we'll probably add a pitcher (which is very necessary), but there's a pretty legit concern that our offense keeps struggling and the starting pitching stops being so unsustainably dominant. i think this team probably has a little more downside than upside going forward. we'll see.
  13. how many strikes would soler need that at bat to draw a walk or get a hit? 20?
  14. baez isn't even playing baseball right now and only got cleared to swing a bat today. he's not coming.
  15. not scoring a single run off a pitcher who walks six would be pretty impressive.
  16. terrible luck, too. if the ball doesn't squirt out at the end i assume hendricks would have been less convinced he could stay at third.
  17. the fact that the third base coach wasn't physically carrying him back to second if necessary is confounding.
  18. also a waste of a challenge. DONT CHALLENGE PLAYS JUST BECAUSE WE DONT LIKE THEM
  19. the cubs decision to not have a third base coach looks pretty questionable right now
