I can't understand this viewpoint, and it is becoming more and more common. Someone help me. Using cocaine does not make you a bad person who deserves to have bad things happen to them. A lot of people will hear "coke in his system" and automatically write somebody off as garbage who deserved whatever happened. Somebody can be shot and killed and if it comes back that they had a drug in their system people will blame the person who got shot for getting shot because a lot of people are dumb. I'm not saying I think "he deserved it". I'm saying he was handed much better cards than 99% of people on this earth and he took it for granted. And like a large percentage of 24 year olds, he believed himself to indestructible. Its a shame that a young life was cut short, but I'll admit that I don't feel the same way about as a I do about someone doing nothing wrong.

I think it shifts things from being an accident or misfortune into being something that he did to himself. Does it make it less tragic? No. But it does drains almost all of the sympathetic feelings for him from it. Instead of "how cruel for that to happen to him and his family", it's "his selfishness really cost his family". Now it's just another cautionary tale of reckless stupidity. Maybe that makes it more tragic, I don't know. A lot of times drug use is associated with something going on inside the head of a time and since I don't know if he has issues mentally I can't judge a man for that and the dude still seemed pretty cool so it still sucks. And he's still a great talent who we won't see anymore and that sucks too. There are a lot of scenarios where I don't care about coke in the system and few where I do. I can't understand this viewpoint, and it is becoming more and more common.

That's was grace's fault.

I'm not superstitious either, but I think I'm just stitious enough to try this.

Definitely. He wasn't impressing anyone last night.

Did the double switch wrong, no?
-
Bait. Get a solid tomlin out and Miller is not available for Schwarber in the 9th.
-
See also: Soler over Heyward not even close. Soler is an OF. Santana is a bad first baseman. And Heyward is a gold glover. The point stands, the benefit of the bad outweighs the difference in the glove.

Schwarber: Fully torn ACL and LCL. Out for 172 meaningless games.

"Let me straighten up here a little bit..." Reason Javy is better than Kyle: Javy knows he can't dance. -
There's a good chance it'll be hilarious, but Francona is smart to put him out there. The benefit of his bat outweighs the likelihood that this is a close game decided by the quality of the Indians LF. See also: Soler over Heyward

If so, would it be too much to hope for that they take it down and NOT replace it? To me, it just doesn't look right at Wrigley. Too yuppie or something. It's going to pay for Bryant's contract in six years. I say we keep it.

Has happened, is happening, will happen.

Take us home Fred.

There's a bigger gap this year than for his career, .236/.305/.385 vs LHB, .253/.333/.399 vs RHB this year in about the same amount of innings/batters faced. For his career it's pretty neutral... .235/.327/.391 vs LHB and /.249/.329/.405. vs RHB Even if was even, Joe is justified in not going all lefties like last night.

I went Bryant shirsey for the last 4 games and am switching to Rizzo shirsey tonight. If we lose again I might have to bust out the Santo jersey that I've kept on ice so far this playoffs. I've been in a Bryant jersey. I have the Santo ready for tonight.

Nude But if you remove his case, you void his warranty. this meme NEVER gets old. Not sarcasm. I love it.

VERY close. For some reason it's burned in my memory to this day, too. I believe it's Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right-B-A-B-A-Select Start Minus the select. Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right-B-A-B-A- Start

I missed the last 30 pages because I was watching the game. Just checked in to say the Cubs still have this. This is the game you expected to lose if you were going to lose any of them. Obviously you don't want to lose any of them, but I think you know what I'm saying. Kluber was unhittable last night. Tip your cap and kill their mortal pitchers. Then get to Kluber on short rest. Cubs in 5.

If this thread tells us anything, it should tell us that we need to behave ourselves. People are watching.

I love it

To come to the conclusion that you don’t want to start Heyward against a right-handed pitcher, you have to put a lot of weight on his 2016 performance, believing that he’s currently unable to hit anywhere near his career levels for one reason or another. http://i2.wp.com/i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/210/116/youdontsay.jpg?resize=433%2C368

Glad to see you're ok.
