  1. It’s been a let down to read. Some big posters (hall of gamers, even) came up in spots where they could have given some great analysis, but really crapped the bed. At one point sofa was flailing away at the manager. You just can’t do that at this level. NSB is going to drop like a rock in the message board standings despite its true talent level being better and quality material differential being far superior. There have been (too many) times that it’s been a crap-meatball fest. The surprise knock on the Cardinals dead players and some nifty Addison Russell baby daddy humor redeemed you guys in the middle innings though. I think I’m back on board with this board. What a ride! Nah; Joe sucks. True, but fairly meaningless. The meatballery is BFIB level.
  2. I think it will still accurately show that this hasn't been fun. Well, for me, at least. It’s been a let down to read. Some big posters (hall of famers, even) came up in spots where they could have given some great analysis, but really crapped the bed. At one point sofa was flailing away at the manager.

  3. Started on page 1 and just caught up. And yes. Glad to know the season is back on.
  4. Welp, Ricketts mineaswell buy the urn for Yu's ashes now. It’s cool, duke said “somehow”. It turns out that’s duke jinx reverser. Try to keep up.
  5. didn't they go on their big winning streak last year when you were lost in the woods or something? Yes, and my streak of seeing them in person is currently 0-8, including a WS game and last year's playoff game against the Nats when Harper donged to tie it up. Today, of course, happened when work was dead enough for the holiday for me to have the feed on. Are you familiar with the double slit experiment?
  6. I feel like if you would loop that after he passes the door, you could make it look like he never stops walking.
  7. I really thought Chili was going to un-break the breaking that Mallee had done. Turns out Mallee didn’t break him, he just forgot how to hit or something.
  8. Blasting the Marlins twice, the White Sox once and the Reds three times in the span of two weeks will certainly help projections. Having the hardest SOS before that stretch (and 7th hardest to date) mitigates the impact of those two weeks.
  9. I agree with most everything you’ve said. The thing is the Cubs go sooo deep. The fact that you went KB/Rizzo/Wily/Schwarber but could have gone KB/Rizzo/Javy/Russell or Happ or Almora and made your point just as well is what tells the tale for me.
  10. I'm on record for not liking that trade here. It was a lonely hill. I don't think I spoke up much at the time, because I didn't have much to add to the conversation. I didn't like how much we gave up, but considered it the cost of doing business. Q brought a stability to the rotation that makes this continue to be a desirable destination for players.
  11. Your math is leaving me an hour short. Rain again at 5 central? What I'm looking at I love how 49% chance is cloudy but 52% is thunderstorms.
  12. Have they given a time for first pitch yet?
  13. More like, “great suggestion, but we fixed that problem two months ago. Pay attention in meetings. Also, we're gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B. We have some new people coming in, and we need all the space we can get. So if you could go ahead and pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be terrific, mmmKay?”
  14. He appeared to be fixed until Duke wrote an article about Heyward and broke him again. Then he started a thread called “good things” or some horsefeathers. We are all doomed.
  15. This **might** have been relevant two weeks ago. But since then he’s gone on a tear. OPS in Mar/Apr. .448 OPS in May 1.143 BABIP has gone from .172 to .286. No need to update. Update is in: he’s fine. He’s always been fine. He will always be fine. Also, we already have a rizzo thread.
  16. A week ago my brother sent me a blurb that that division was 23-53 against teams outside the division. I can't imagine that has gotten much better.Yeah, but they are .500 against teams in the division, sooooo...
  17. This is why we love you Theo.
  18. Ways to get David to notice you. 1. Express complete garbage opinions. 2. Make clever robot joke. 3. Have awesome sparkley sig.
  19. I demand a gif of Molina losing his manhood.
  20. Lineup is about “getting rizzo going.” I imagine we will hear as much from our drunken manager in a pregame interview.
  21. Sound like tribune Cubs. I am so thankful for our current ownership/front office. Being a Cubs fan is sooo different. I had a fan of another team throw out the "once in 110 years" garbage this weekend. It didn't even sting a little. I felt sorry for him. He couldn't understand what a big deal 3 NLCS in a row is. That's the definition of a big window. And I feel like its just starting to open. To think that the true talent of this team is growing **from** a world series championship. Crazy.
  22. Are you suggesting Trinidad Hubbard wasn't a legitimate 3 hitter??? Poppycock! At least with him you had the excuse that Dusty was insanely thinking, "video game name = video game ability." Video game?! These kids need to get off the video games and go fishing. How are they ever going to understand life if they don’t fish?
  23. Are we not excited about a starter making it into the 7th anymore?
