QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 02:21 AM) Typical Sox performance under RV in September since he has been manager. Not good news when there are two teams in your division that absolutely dominate you at their home

Why do they keep putting Saladino in the 2nd spot? Give Sanchez or Avi a try. It's disappointing how they have 30 or so free games and keep seemingly playing them as if it's May.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 01:51 AM) Be nice if the Sox offense could get going and protect their pitcher. Ha, they look clueless vs this guy

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 12:48 AM) Meh Sale doesn't deserve the CY with how many dud games he has had this year. It's one thing to lose games and give up few runs it's another when you get shelled for 6-9 runs which has happened to him a few times. Agreed his ERA is too high this year.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 12:45 AM) That slim, outside chance of Sale winning the Cy Young, I think, is gone. Even if he hits 300 Ks. It's long gone

Seems like Sale is overthrowing his change-up

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 01:43 AM) Why does Sale seem to suck balls against the Twins? Like seriously, he looks like crap. Why does he keep throwing fastballs to Dozier

Twins just make Sale their b****. Need to get this fixed for next year.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 01:42 AM) Did hawk say he made the throw to the wrong base? No right base

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 12:36 AM) What is with Sale and Minnesota? He blows against them. Arrieta shut them out.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 01:36 AM) Sale looks terrible. I hope they don't push him too much down the stretch

No anderson either

Disappointing that they aren't throwing Johnson right into the rotation

Castro?

Free Trayce

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 02:43 PM) That Joe Maddon is a genius. Had them wear pajamas on their flight home. Who, other than a genius thinks of these things? I am really surprised they didn't win last night. It must have been the hangover from winning the WS the night before. Kaplan on his show yesterday, "If I told you the Cubs would be 2-4 on this past road trip, would you take it" Every panelist's answer..........yes. The Cubs can do no wrong in Chicago. A WC team 3rd in their division, and this panel was comparing them to the 2004 Red Sox. This disappointment is going to be tremendous. Maddon managed one of the worst games I have ever seen yesterday

This is like the opposite of last night

Nice to see Grimm implode

It's amazing how awful the pitching is in the NL for these bottom 6 teams. Blue Jays might average 10 runs a game vs them

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 01:04 AM) More Cubs brilliance. They add solid pieces without dipping into their farm system cache. They certainly have taken full advantage of international signing loopholes.

M. Johnson not playing tonight. Unless he hurt himself from whiffing so much yesterday, I assume he's on a plane to Minnesota.

I'm sure Cubs won't come out and say this, but this probably means no more Schwarber vs LHP. He's struck out in half of his ABs vs LHP.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 31, 2015 -> 11:34 PM) why Screwed over GT big time by taking huge bonus from Yankees instead of honoring his hoops commit. Was basically the beginning of the end of that program.

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 31, 2015 -> 10:25 PM) Cubs acquire Austin Jackson from Mariners. Well he has always been my second most hated player in baseball behind Samardzija

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 31, 2015 -> 09:28 PM) He shouldn't. He also shouldn't get a pass on producing only one staff in the top 1/2 of MLB in ERA in 7 seasons. He also shouldn't get a pass on his handling of the bullpen, and his status as Robin's mentor/shadow-manager, and Williams' mole. I can only imagine the criticism a hitting coach for the Sox would get if they acquired a player in his free agent year (during his prime years) and had him completely flop like Samardzija has.
