QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 01:17 PM) Exactly. Dodgers are an inferior opponent and Cubs win. It would take just what Harry says. And if it 'somehow' went game 7, no way in hell the Cubs would lose to an Independent League pitcher in Hill. They would bash him. Kershaw the best pitcher in the game? I disagree. Face facts. Like we all suspected from the regular season runaway, it's the Cubs year. The Giants and Dodgers players are 1/3 as good as the Cubs. Rizzo is this year's Hosmer; Bryant is arguably the best hitter around and the Cubs defense and bullpen and starters are amazing. The parade is coming soon. If greg isn't trolling here I just kind of feel bad at this point.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 01:05 PM) I watched Deadpool again recently and wasn't entertained but I appreciate the fact that I don't get a splitting migraine when I watch it Let me speak for the rest of the Films thread when I say that we're pretty shocked you'd go against the grain on something.

History or not they still have to face the best pitcher in baseball and(if they lose game 6) face another guy who they match up with terribly. This series is far from over.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 10:12 AM) the Sox have ruined themselves. This is absolutely the bigger issue. Of course when the Cubs are good and the Sox are hot garbage the casual fan is going to jump to the Northside.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 02:27 PM) Should I bench Jordan Howard tonight for Jacquizz Rodgers??? Never would have thought I'd ask that a month ago. Uhh yup, yes you should. Glad I could help!

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 21, 2016 -> 09:02 AM) Such an awful pick. Even though he hasn't been much better, I still would've rather taken Tim Hardaway Jr at that spot. We know, Brian, we know.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 11:30 PM) I don't know how I can further explain it. Kershaw pitching at home in Game 5 gave LA the best chance to win prior to coming to Chicago. That's it But the series doesn't end either way. If you want to pitch the exact same guys these two games you're telling us that you think Kershaw on short rest and Maeda on two days extra rest > than both of them on their normal schedule.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 11:17 PM) Maeda. It's not that he's better than Kershaw under any circumstance, I would have just preferred Kershaw at home Game 5, Maeda 6, Hill/Kershaw Game 7. He gave LA the best chance of winning entering Wrigley up in the series I don't get how that makes any sense but ok.

I'm not trying to be an ass but I actually would like to hear what you guys would have done for game 6 if Kershaw started tonight? You'd be good running Hill out there again on short rest?

Who were they going to start in game 6 if they started Kershaw tonight? Hill on short rest? Cause he looked like garbage last series. It's a tough spot and I don't think it was the wrong move.

This whole Josh Brown thing gets more disturbing by the second.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 03:51 PM) Makes sense that they need a big thing for the Alamo Dome. I'm sure they've asked him as apparently they ask him all the time but he's been pretty adamant about staying retired. Things change and it is in SA so you never know but with him I doubt it.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 03:41 PM) Wha Wha Whaaaaat?? I'm guessing the chance of it happening is almost 0 but ya, he's decided to tweet stuff about it and talk about it in a SI interview. Certainly getting people to talk.

Styles just decided today that he's going to tease a match with HBK at the Rumble I guess.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 02:50 PM) They have a lease that runs until 2033. I'd call that a pretty good excuse. Unless you are will to spot them about a billion dollars, give or take. Just break the lease, duh. Prolly like a $50 termination fee or something.

QUOTE (Carpe Diem @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 02:34 PM) He bated .362/.414/.648 in August He bated .319/ .376/.504 in September Very Charlie Tilson-ish LOL Which basically evened out his horrific start because that's how baseball usually works. We have 3 years worth of data on Jose right now to tell us he's a good but not great hitter who happens to be horrific in the field. Is he an asset? Absolutely. Is he someone that's going to bring you a tremendous haul? Absolutely not. Like I said, I'm open to trading anyone but out of the core guys he's going to bring you the least in return so there's no definitely no need to trade him.

I don't think Jose's value is all that high and he's probably more valuable to the Sox than anyone else. I'm pretty much open to trading anyone but Jose is down on the list of guys it makes sense to deal.

QUOTE (shipps @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 02:11 PM) I dont think this is true. I think they will look at it as the next step. They will see that they have progressed further in the playoffs each of the last two years and then next year is when it finally happens. If they lose to the Dodgers I think they would feel much more defeated. Agreed.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 01:09 PM) Eddie Lacy's weight has nothing to do with his ankle injury. I would bet that's not the case.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 12:40 PM) He's a free agent at season's end, right? It appears so.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) I think he was averaging like 5 YPC still though He was. He was having a good season but the constant weight issues seem to be contributing to these injuries.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 12:30 PM) Eddie Lacy to the IR, ankle surgery Hate to be that guy but he's eating himself out of the league I think.

Lets just all admit that Stevenson is the best team in 8A and we can all be happy!

It just dawned on Greg that he doesn't like Hillary, guys.

So how come nobody like actually answers the questions they're asked in these things?
