Whole lotta anger Cubs still suck

Angry

Drob going to pitch angry tonight

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 08:55 PM) Must be so hard to give credit to a pitcher who is very good for 7 straight games because you so handily believe in sabremetric peripherals. Just means you know nothing about pitching or people for that matter. No kidding. The guy flat out battled tonight and walks as a pitcher aren't always a bad thing in certain situations.

Why doesn't everyone throw Bryant change ups if he can't hit them? Sure seems like the books out

Apparently Maddon doesn't know how to manage a bullpen either

This is one of the best offenses in the NL? Not impressed. Shields jacked, love it

My God does Shields own Bryant

For all the sabers that are completely against bunting, interesting the last two walkoff wins came on singles after bunting the lead off baserunner over to second base...

That's why you walk their best hitter in that situation

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 10:09 PM) If they were going to do that they would've left Albers in. Nah can always pitch around him

I know it puts winning run at first but he's their best hitter and sets up DP. Plus zobrist been struggling of late

Walk rizzo

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 09:36 PM) What's the plan wit Fulmer+ are they protecting his fragile ego or something? I'd love to see him close tonight but they will probably turn it over to Jennings.

Who closes tonight?

QUOTE (Scoots @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 09:23 PM) I mean, he really wasn't all that great when he was with Baltimore for a few years. I wonder how it just "clicked" for him when he got to Chicago. Wasn't all that great? He was awful in Baltimore.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 09:16 PM) He lost his release point in that last inning. Everything was coming in high and away. He couldn't hit the zone at all anymore. Apparently that's been happening more and more lately...

Arrieta looks very average tonight. Not the same pitcher from the second half of last year. If he isn't dominant, Cubs are in BIG trouble this postseason.

Cy Gonzalez. LOL. Making this Cubs offense look silly.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 24, 2016 -> 06:42 AM) You get to see both. The people last night saw their game. Free baseball? Sweet! Thanks for the response.

I have tickets for this afternoon's game. Will I be able to get into the suspended game that starts at 1:10 pm or would I need a ticket for last night's game to get in? Anyone know how this works?

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 21, 2016 -> 09:20 PM) Rauner has been governor for two years now? Just about. Won the election in November 2014 and sworn in January 2015. Not like he's (or any other State legislators) going to do anything between now and November anyways so for all practical purposes yes 2 years.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Jul 21, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) You arrive at it because not everything is to be taken literally, especially when it comes to insults. "Another walk? This pitcher couldn't hit the broad side of a barn!" doesn't indicate that you actually think the guy is THAT inaccurate. Rauner is bashing the union, saying they'll resist evaluation because they suck - Half the managers can't even manage, half the teachers can't even read! Yea not so much. Yet another IL govenor unable to relate to the vast majority of people within this state and completely incapable of governing effectively. He's in way over his head right now and will continue to be embarrassed over the next two years, as if the first two weren't enough already. I'm embarrassed I voted for this clown.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 21, 2016 -> 08:44 PM) It's hyperbole but it's still an example of rauner being garbage. Sure, a poor choice of words at best and at worst another example of extreme arrogance, racism and overall lack of respect for working and middle class citizens.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Jul 21, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) You're taking it too literally - he's just saying they suck at what they do. How do arrive at that interpretation from these words? And I quote "half of teachers are virtually illiterate." http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/virtually http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/illiterate
