  1. Season back on. If we win tonight, this is the same number of games under .500 as the 2007 Cubs were at one point.
  2. I dunno, I thought it was implied. When someone says "K rate" about a pitcher, they almost always mean K/9.
  3. Yeah, but that was in part because his K rate was being inflated by facing 8 batters per inning or whatever. Wait, how does your K rate get inflated by facing more batters? K is generally reported as K/9 rather than K%. You can have vastly different K% and end up with the same K/9
  4. Handzus is just so slow that he drags down the performance of everyone who plays with him. He does things well when he's in position.
  5. Yeah, but that was in part because his K rate was being inflated by facing 8 batters per inning or whatever.
  6. Acceptable? 18 IP, 11 hits, 5 ERs, 2 BBs, 17 Ks in his last 3 starts. That doesn't seem unacceptable.
  7. (not watching the game just following the box score) Oh yay, it's post-May Jeff again.
  8. Zastryzny being acceptable and Almora with a single.
  9. All college hitters in short season ball hit 5 HRs in their first 24 PAs. We would have been disappointed at anything less. it just reminds kyle that he didnt hit 6 If we'd paid him more money, he would have.
  10. lol we can probably speculate i guess If we were playing Family Feud and the category was "things that give OMC a boner" and "beautiful women" was already taken, "dead Union soliders" would have been my next guess.
  11. That's been pretty obvious for at least 6 months now, although there's still a chunk of the fanbase in denial. I see what you're saying, but I also can't imagine them going into next year with a $50-60 million dollar payroll, either. I think they'll look to poach this offseason anything youngish with long-term value that they can. But they'll be buying with an eye toward the 2016 season and the knowledge that they can afford to wait until that offseason, even if it's not ideal.

  13. If he were as good at putting together Cubs' teams as he is at talking about it, we probably wouldn't be 156-236 (.398) under his watch.
  14. Sounds great overall, but he definitely went heavy on the business plan issues and that he knows people are tired of hearing about it, but that it's a reality. Winners win, Theo.
  15. Why do soccer folk insist on referring to singular countries in the plural? It kind of bugs the crap out of me. It's grammatically correct to do so. Only if you are currently posting from the United Kingdom.
  16. Very important. His size and athleticism allowed him to be the target of long passes from the midfield. Without that, the other team can pressure the ball in the midfield with impunity because they aren't scared of getting beat with one quick ball over the top. It's like if the only deep threat wide receiver got hurt and now the defense can bring a safety into the box and jam the receivers with no fear of getting beat.
  17. Confirmed for all time: Run differential meaningful, debate over.
  18. I just assumed that you were sexually aroused by all of those things, just like the women. It didn't surprise me.
  19. Four Ghana defenders simultaneously raise their hands in a confused gesture, as if they aren't sure what it means when the ball goes in the net.
  20. Almora doesn't have an XBH in June.
  21. Revenge for the scrappy underdog United States against the jerkish alpha male Ghanaians. They may have everything else, but we have soccer supremacy!
