QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 10:29 PM) So he went from 5 pitches to 21 pitches by pitching the 9th. That's a big difference. If he isn't used tomorrow it's no big deal but I'd sure like to have him available for two innings tomorrow with young Urias starting. There is a day off on Friday, he will be fine. What happens if Baez gives up a few runs, then who do you bring in? It's the playoffs, you don't f*** around with your bullpen, you ensure the victory.

Is Aaron Rodgers ever gonna return to his old self? I lost Big Ben for a few weeks, only have Bortles on my bench. The Rodgers owner contacted me about a trade but I'm just worried he's gonna keep on sucking.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 03:07 PM) Isn't he the one that hit our scoreboard on opening day? Yup, that's him

It's funny, if any other players said he cut his finger open in a drone mishap, management would immediately call BS and ask "What really happened and how drunk were you?" But with Bauer, the story is 100% unbelievable, always been kind of a weird dude.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 12:11 PM) Bears and Packers have a combined 24 players on their injured lists. Now they have to play on three days rest. These Thursday night games are a joke. It's probably going to be an awful game too. 13-10 or something like that. Make the season 18 weeks. Each team gets two byes, one is mandatory the week before the Thursday night game. Problem solved.

Judging from the morale of some of the Chicago cops I know, I would think less policing might have helped the spike in violence as well. With all the recent high-profile police shootings, I wonder if cops are less likely to get involved where they may have in the past.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 08:30 AM) Did they change game 5 to Kershaw as of last night? Report I read this morning says that due to the extra workload they were not going to run Kershaw out in game 5 on short rest and that Maeda was slated for that game. I think everyone just assumes it will be Kershaw on short rest because he's Kershaw and then he might be available for game 7. But as of right now, you are right, it is Maeda.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 08:37 AM) I don't get why they're going Kluber on short rest up 3-0. If I were them I'd go rookie today, Kluber tomorrow and try to just win it in 5. I had the same thought originally, but what if Kluber loses game 5? You can't start him on two days rest if you go to game 7. This way you have him available for games 4 and 7. Ideally, you only need him once and he will be fully rested for the World Series. Plus, your bullpen just pitched over 8 innings. You know Kluber should give you at least 6. The rookie could get rocked and then you have another bullpen day.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 18, 2016 -> 08:10 AM) Its so crazy that they are doing this without Salazar and Carrasco. Maybe both can come back for the World Series and split a game? Example: Carrasco goes 3-4 innings, Salazar goes 3-4, bullpen covers rest. Salazar might be ready, but there is zero chance Carrasco comes back. The report yesterday said he just shed his cast and expects to start throwing again in six weeks.

I had a 27 point lead last night and he only had one player left. It was David Johnson. f***.

Those lovely weeks in Chicago when you turn on the heat one day, then 3 days later you need to blast the A/C.

That's enough of the close ups of Trevor Bauer's pinkie

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 11:06 AM) Scott is a good guy and sucks this happened. But also a reason I would never trust a scalper at a big game like that. https://theathletic.com/22249/2016/10/17/ho...-2-of-the-nlcs/ The morning of Game 1 of the 2005 ALDS, I got a phone call from a buddy. His sister's boyfriend had gotten two free tickets to the game but they couldn't go because it was a day game and they had to work. I happily took the tickets, and my Dad and I left work and headed down to the Cell. We park in the lot, head to the gate, hand them the tickets, and we are told there is something wrong. They sent us to the main box office. Once there, we were told that the tickets had been stolen from someone's mailbox. Oh boy. At that point, we didn't really trust a scalper so we went back to the car and drove home. I'll tell you it's very awkward when you are trying to drive through a parking lot full of people tailgating before a game, because everyone wonders why the hell you are leaving. Luckily, I already had bought tickets to game 2, so at least I got to see that game. I never found out how the boyfriend had gotten to the tickets, and they didn't date much longer.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 09:03 AM) You seem sort of upset that people don't like a Presidential candidate who bragged about sexual assault and then had a wave of accusers come out after he denied it. Is that not a newsworthy event? Not at all, I don't like the guy either. I just hate this entire election cycle and the fact that our next president will be elected simply on the platform of "at least she's not the crazy guy". And now the media is just in a contest as to who can find the most ridiculous story.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 08:04 AM) Well that and the fact that he's campaigning on fascism. Edit plus there's really not anything horrible coming out of these email leaks anyway The fascism and racism are sooo September. The sexism is what the cool kids are talking about now.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 03:45 PM) Why does literally no one care about the horrible stuff coming out of Clinton email leaks? Clinton supporters just blame Russia or blame the messenger. Why are you so beholden to Clinton?? How can intelligent people support her and not at least be outraged over these emails? Because Trump grabs women by the p****. That's all that matters in this election.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 06:38 PM) I don't think it is but I definitely thinks this unfair to criticize a move and it's process, when you don't know the happenings behind the scenes. If you think this is a bad move, please name me someone who you would like instead. If you think this is a good move, please explain why you think Getz deserves the job.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 10:28 PM) With Kershaw only throwing 84 pitches tonight, you gotta think he's out there again for game 5 again. He's already pitched on 3 days rest like 4 times in the playoffs inhis career , game 5 is his. At least we can end the Kershaw isn't clutch narrative, he has killed it so far.

PSA: Hawks tickets have gotten really cheap on the secondary market for some reason. I don't know if it's cause they are at the same time as Cubs NLCS games or just Blackhawks overload, but you can get seats for under $40 for Tuesday night. That's been unheard of the last few years.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 09:53 PM) That was not a strike That might have been the worst strike call I have ever seen. Best of 5 series now, Dodgers had to win the Kershaw starts.

QUOTE (Green Line @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 09:38 PM) I feel like there is a 0% chance the Cubs go quitely in the 9th, and a good chance they walk it off. Hope im wrong but this game has that feeling to it. They have been doing it all year and the big boys are coming up. But when Jansen is on, he's a beast. Playoff baseball at its best
