QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 30, 2017 -> 08:10 PM) Freeman suspended 10 games for PEDs. I must say Hampton nailed that one. He said anyone tears a pec, they are using steroids. I've been saying that pec one for years, as it reminded me of wrestling injuries to juiced up guys.

I bet everyone involved with MLB is happy that didn't leave the park

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 30, 2017 -> 05:55 AM) These guys are hitting one handed HRs....but the ball isn’t juiced. To be fair, it was by a physical freak over a very short (distance) porch

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 30, 2017 -> 04:01 AM) I blame the new slick balls for the crazy offense we’ve seen this series. This game pretty much confirms that NYT article. Also blame the managers for abusing their relievers

That's an inside the park home run last year

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 12:10 AM) Just not gonna happen, but I really wish that family would go away. If anything, today made them more powerful

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 10:21 PM) I'm worried about the PR hit, but I'm really worried about this Ayo situation going forward. He just (and yes, it's on him though I understand the adults carry a large burden of this) denied a recruit that the staff REALLY wanted, how the hell do you have any confidence for the future with him now? How do you not expect him to pull some other s*** at some point? And to those saying it's not on the kid, come on man, you're telling me if Ayo stood up and told his parents and coaches to get over it, he wants to play with THT, etc that they would hold their ground? Ayo holds the cards, those coaches are dependent on kids like him, if he wanted the hand to play differently he could've changed it. I'm just really hoping that at this point his tenure at Illinois is as smooth as possible. Underwood played all the cards he could to get Ayo (i.e.: Chin). He better pray Ayo is worth it

I wonder if this becomes an Irvin against the rest of Chicago situation.

QUOTE (Nokona @ Oct 20, 2017 -> 06:12 PM) I can't believe half of these fans are in the "well at least we made it this far!" camp To me, the shine really came off this team. Schwarber, bust. Russell, average. Baez, average bat ++ defense. Lester, the end is nigh. Hendricks, took 4 months to get his velocity back. Playing Happ in CF is a joke. And Bryant didn't play well at all. Bryant was great in regular season. I have a feeling Russell gets traded before Baez.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 20, 2017 -> 06:15 PM) Why? Yanks love Schwarber, Cubs need a power closer.

Think we will see a Schwarber for Betances trade this offseason

Oh, and Cubs fans saying Chris Taylor is on PEDS is quite ironic

Some thoughts: - I'm happy Granderson ended up striking out after the foul ball debacle - Culberson probably played better than Seager would have - Cubs fans should be pissed about Bryant's statements about being drained - Cubs have a much better shot at getting Otani than most think - I love Q but that was awesome last night. Way to continue to be a Sox legend

Puig is incredibly fast

QUOTE (hi8is @ Oct 19, 2017 -> 11:48 PM) You don't think Giles is good enough - or are you just saying they needed Giles +1? Clippard joke

Bellinger couldn't have asked for better pitch to hit. Big blunder by Roberts with his crappy lineup

Definitely a game where not having Seager really hurt

Holy s*** utley and Granderson suck

The crappy lefty veterans killing the Dodgers in the lineup

What a terrible 5-9 in Dodgers order tonight

Granderson and Utley are so bad now. I disagree with them playing

Wood's velocity is real bad considering the rest he's had

Boom, way to shut me up Yu

Get Kenley in

Brutal matchup for Darvish tonight with a bunch of lefties and wind blowing out
