I keep hearing "Its gonna be in the 70s this week and the wind will be blowing out, and that will help the cubs". Last time i checked, Cespedes, Wright, D'Arnaud, Granderson and Murphy can hit some home runs as well

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 02:32 PM) Losing two on the road is not the issue. Relying on Hendricks and Hammel to win two games is the problem. Again it is hindsight because of the Arrieta magic in August in September as well as the bullpen performance in the playoffs. Their two aces lost games. That is who they relied on, and came up empty. They should have come back 1-1 at the least, and then you wouldnt have to worry about Hendricks and Hammels

John Fox press conferences are polar opposite of Trestman. Not fun, not accidentally informative.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 01:55 PM) I agree and disagree. The cubs are going to be good for a long time, and this was "a year ahead of schedule". But, lots of stuff happens in seasons like injuries and random horrible years that can derail a season. Getting to the CS is sooo close that you don't want to rely on the fact that the team is young, because you aren't young for that long. Take it when you can. They've had a lot of good luck this year with Arrieta's run and good health. But, after this year of lester I think they probably will sour on Price signing. Granted, price in the NL is probably a 36 win pitcher with a .4 ERA. At least that's what it seems like when you make the switch. Absolutely agree, you cant take anything for granted. I just dont think the Cubs pitching is the sole reason they are 0-2 right now, and you cant say that a pitcher like Hamels or Price( for a hefty return that would have probably included your current starting short stop) would have changed the fact that they are 0-2 right now

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 01:04 PM) If the cubs do not make it out of this series it is a valid conversation. At the time it was 100% the right decision. In hindsight and that is all this is, another arm better than Haren would have helped. Arrieta going on a historic run could not have been foreseen. If JS goes on that run for the White Sox they could be playing now and everyone would be b****ing they did not get a bat. The cubs issues for next year are getting the right pitchers at the right price. They are out there, the issue will be who is paying what. The price tag on Arrieta may hurt the off season maneuvering for a free agent pitcher as he is going to break the bank. come on now, this team is set up to contend going forward. What is happening now is 100% gravy, not expected. Mortgaging a guy like, say, Javier Baez(who was the major name on the block) would have KILLED them right now after Addison Russell went down. Theo did a masterful job, sticking with his prospects and getting an arm like Haren was absolutely the right thing to do. If this was the end of a percieved playoff window, then yea, sitting back and doing nothing is inexcusable. But calling into the score to rip Theo while your team is in the NLCS as a wildcard team is just pure fan stupidity

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 12:14 PM) I DON'T GET WHY PEOPLE DO THAT. GO NINERS DERP GIANTS The guy we are joking about was SOXOBAMA, and everything was caps, and everything was a bit crazy. he got a bit exposed as a liar

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 11:59 AM) We used to have another poster on here was keen on San Fran. Per chance do you have an affinity for classic cars? lmao AustinIllini doesnt post in all caps, dead giveaway

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 11:56 AM) I absolutely agree it's 100% bonkers that Cubs fans are ripping Theo (I imagine they're specifically mentioning Hammels), but unless I'm missing something in their farm system, which I could be, moving forward they really need to upgrade SP'ing. Lester will be a year older next year and JA won't pitch historically great again. They obviously have young position players to trade, but I imagine that would be 2 for 1 for an impact pitcher, or they go hard after Price or Grienke (he opted out this weekend). It happened in the final hour of Mully and Hanley, and Mully basically had to hang up on the guy because he was just so ridiculous about it. The cubs almost won 100 games after winning, what, 73 last year? And now Theo isnt doing enough? STFU

The only time I think it would feel great to fire someone is if I caught them stealing and recovered the money. Firing someone doesnt only affect them, it affects their dependents, and you dont see that

lol @ cubs fans calling the score ripping Theo for not getting another starter. This team is in the NLCS and Theo is a bum now

Well, they should have been 3-3 but won't be

Amos is bringing the boom today but the defensive backs have been bad overall

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 18, 2015 -> 12:14 PM) Bears D nice opening series That's been the norm for them, start slow finish strong

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 18, 2015 -> 11:56 AM) You try and talk with a gap in your teeth the size of the arch. That gap makes me think everything he says should have a slight whistling sound with it

Strahan just called Alshon "Alfon Jeffries"

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 18, 2015 -> 08:50 AM) Kris Bryant's road splits are Avi Garcia like .243/.333/.360 If only Avi could boast a similar home split as Bryant .311/.408/.629 instead of .252/.309/.379

Stop smoking crack and posting, caulfield

Ego done for the season

Boras must hate this

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Oct 16, 2015 -> 08:27 AM) I want those three guys. Shouldn't break the bank nor cost draft picks (?) Yikes, three guys who cant exactly stay healthy, all of them to be 30 or older next year. No thanks

QUOTE (RegionSox @ Oct 16, 2015 -> 12:12 PM) I just saw the trailer for Ash vs. Evil Dead. It looks like it could be good Ash vs Evil Dead Oh yea, I am really excited for this Second episode of Flash was really good, there was a lot going on and i LOVED Tony Todds voice for Zoom

i am eyeing a wifi extender on yugster.com for my house. anyone have any comments good or bad? is it worth the 16 bucks? https://www.yugster.com/deals/68430-high-sp...tender-repeater

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 15, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) What makes this rumor not as strong is the fact that everyone was speculating it, so it doesn't take much work to get traction. Think Steve's Derrick Rose rumor. I don't understand this reasoning, the Spider-Man rumor was heavily speculated when Civil War was announced, and denials started there. Then the Sony leak happened and they squashed it again, and a month later the deal was struck. Marvel is icing out Fox, they cancelled future F4 magazines to drive down interest and then Fox played right into their hands by meddling with the film and turning it into a bomb. I think there is definitely some real smoke here

do you have any local butchers you have called? We have one near us called Butcher on the Block that carries their own brats/sausage/hot dogs. Maybe check your area for a butcher and see what they have Red Hots are good, I am a fan of Vienna beef brand as well but they tend to be a little more pricey

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 15, 2015 -> 10:19 AM) Did you post and text this at this exact same time?!? of course
