  1. Starting pitching has been *slightly* less of burning brush fire of awful than the rest of the roster, but I wouldn't call it good. Relying on $6m 1-WAR pitchers to give you 2-WAR seasons isn't a way to build a playoff team.
  2. The problem is that even if almost all of them succeed, you are still short a lot of pitching, which is why any injury to a pitching prospect would be especially upsetting. We have no margin for error there.
  3. It sounds no less scary to me. It could be nothing. It could be something. But nothing and something both start the exact same way, like this.
  4. Rosscup and Neil Ramirez up, Parker down, Ruggiano to DL. 13-man pitching staff for the moment
  5. I wonder if this is the same guy who tried to call Santo's kids to get their dad for the 100th.
  6. I think it's amazing and I'm glad it happened right in their stupid, smug, rebuilding faces.
  7. The league is going to overturn our last two wins on a technicality. The Punch-Out Curse is powerful.
  8. Well, this is the right game thread now. I hope you are happy.
  9. Which will obviously lead to ... what? A lot of sad face, I guess. Not much else we can do.
  10. I think this is the game that breaks Tom Ricketts.
  11. He hurt his leg sliding to try and make the catch. It looks like he might've tweaked his hamstring, but can't be sure. He walked off gingerly with help from coaches. Josh Vitters is coming to save us!
  12. http://emotibot.net/pix/8100.gif Although honestly, that's exactly how 100th anniversary of Wrigley should go.
  13. This is who Strop is. He goes through streaks of looking unhittable, then he gets wild for awhile, then he's awesome again. We've only seen him awesome as Cubs fans so far.
  14. Rondon, Strop, Grimm. I like them all, but they've all got plenty of wildness in them at times.
  15. If we can sweep this, .500 is kinda within squinting distance and I hate myself as I'm typing this.
  16. That's 200 points higher than Olt put up in the PCL last year.
  17. "success" A .762 OPS is success. Unsustainable success. But success nonetheless. Not when it's accumulated in a way that highlights the limitations of OPS. Sheesh, his wOBA jumped overnight though. Nevermind.
  18. Why are there so many people and where are all the empty seats?
  19. "success" oh you're backing down off the Olt pole again? Umm .... it was an agreement quote?
