  1. Not Cubs related but I'm glad we can laugh at the Astros again
  2. Off the top of my head, I think we're on pace to beat those. Combined.
  3. Stopstophesalreadydead.gif The Cubs have outscored the Reds 46-7 in five games. I demand that they be declared non-viable and we be awarded the rest of the season series by default.
  4. It's very hard to imagine how this team wins less than 100 games.
  5. I feel the appropriate amount of shame.
  6. As a general rule, I can believe that any elite athlete is doing PEDs. It's never a completely out-there possibility.
  7. Thankfully the Pirates got dumb and less thankfully from a human perspective the Cardinals had something awful happen and then they got dumb and super thankfully Epstein really was just waiting a couple of years to go full 2000s Boston on all of them.
  8. And *that's* our half-strength getaway day lineup.
  9. Pirates blew early lead, Cubs now 4 up on the division.
  10. Hope you had fun with that fake rally cards fans
  11. Got there. Always had it. Never didn't have it.
  12. A 3-game lead in the division isn't nothing and it feels like the Cubs just effortlessly cruised to it so far.
  13. Do the simple better, or whatever it was this spring.
  14. That kind of stuff doesn't bother me. Heck, the Cubs should be ready to return the favor and play playoff highlights from the NLDS before home games against them. If we don't like it, stop letting them win division titles.
  15. Tonight we find out if Lackey is a Cardinals mole who will punt to them in the regular season, or if he's a clever Cardinals mole who will cover his tracks by pitching well tonight and hoping it gets him a chance to punt to them in the playoffs.
  16. Yes, but it seems to have worked itself out.
  17. I keep hearing people say this but I really have no idea what the benefits of doing away with errors would be. There is no benefit to having them as currently implemented. The difference between a poorly hit ball that drops for a hit or a poorly hit ball that a fielder trips and doesn't get to or a poorly hit ball that the fielder muffs is no difference at all.
  18. In as much as any fan who had nothing to do with the success has a right to be smug, we have a right to be smug. This team is really, really good and is projected to win the division by a dozen games (literally, Fangraphs currently projects them for 97.1 wins, Cardinals second at 85.1). If some horrible combination of circumstances causes them to not make the playoffs, I was gonna be sad either way. Same for the 80% of the time that they'll get knocked out of the playoffs in a year like this. I'm not gonna be extra sad just because I was excited about the team early and now other fans will laugh at me.
