The Beast

Are you really surprised with some of the people on this board? I would really love to mine these threads for people’s remarks and post them when the time is right to show them the err of their ways.

Sometimes deadline deals that don’t go down can still put the foundation for future moves to be in play in the winter. Besides, I think of this team as more of something like the 2015 Cubs, so more talent can still arrive and be acquired this winter. Lynn could still be acquired this winter and they could bring in other pitchers much line they acquired starting pitchers in the early 2000s.

Exactly.

Me too.

Uh huh.

What was the post from last night?

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Stand pat. It’s a year where they spent a lot of money in the offseason and are starting to see their assets put to work and prospects play. I can’t see them making anything big happen.

I didn’t watch the game today. Did Burdi miss his spots and have bad command? How was the speed on his pitches? It just looked like a rough day for the pitching staff from the box score, I missed this game today. Burdi is from my hometown so I was just curious.

Shit happens. It was just a bad play all around.

Would you have preferred the runner on third to score?

Meh. People still can’t spell Arrieta’s name correctly.

Everyone panicking in the game thread before the bottom of the ninth can eat crow.

Exactly. I don’t understand why either of them deserves to fuck off, given the result. Just like someone asked for a new closer. Because Colome must be bad like Billy Koch or Damaso Marie or some shit.

He saw the tag at second, then looked to the dugout because of the possibility of a replay. By the time he knew what was going by, the ball was already by him and Laz Diaz.

Uh huh.

He explained it on the postgame interview. Shit happens. His bad but he made up for it. Moving on.

You were saying?

Who is Cespedes and Colas? I’ve been out of the loop. And when are they getting the pitcher they need?

That’s how I feel, with an emphasis of an absolute embarrassment of the Cubs on Friday. The offense just had too many LOB today and a power outage occurred.

Thank you.

This might be stupid but, is there a strategy to pitching outside and away most of a game?

The first question I have is, is that safe?

Fuck yeah!!!

Thank you for sharing. I do wonder if the shy Trump voter theory is true though.
