QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 08:20 PM) Awful jump David Ross is already on my top 5 most hated Cubs of all time list.

Seager solo shot, Turner 3 Run Bomb off Scherzer, Kershaw has a 4 run lead in the 3rd. If he blows this. ...

Last year Texas took the first two in Toronto. Then Toronto swept two in Texas then "the Flip" happened.

Tulo 2-run bomb off Yu, Blue Jays getting to the Rangers two aces.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 07:31 AM) We'll see. 40 high stress pitches is a lot. I think you might see him against Ortiz in a key situation, but definitely not for more than 15-20 pitches. Agreed. He's not going 2+ innings again, but yeah, Ortiz will see him today barring a rout.

Random meaningless stat of the day: The Cubs finished 16.5 games better than the Giants in the regular season. The White Sox finished 16.5 games behind the Indians.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 10:22 PM) Allen is going to be lucky to survive the 9th with that elevated pitch count....so Kluber has to go long tmrw. Of course Price still has a very spotty post season record. Miller will likely be sidelined as well. It's the playoffs and Saturday is an off day. Miller will be available today.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 12:49 PM) Hawks on the verge of acquiring Nail Yakupov from the Oilers. Supposedly no roster players from the Hawks end are involved and money retained from EDM part is likely. Love it. An organization like the Hawks, with a few Russians on top lines sound like a great change of scenery for a guy like Yakupov. Can't hurt. Hearing all this hype about Forsling, and with signing Campbell and Kempny, the blue line might not be so bad this year.

Terry Francona just blew Buck showalter's mind with that use of Andrew Miller

This replay official with the electronics belt is gonna become an Internet superstar

Desmond gets scared of the wall, gives the Blue Jays 3 runs. Hamels has given up 5 runs already

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 12:23 PM) It is inevitable that Samardzija gets lit up against the Cubs. One would think so. He faced them at Wrigley on Sept.1 and made it through 4 innings. 4 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 87 pitches

I didn't realize the Indians lost Carrasco and Salazar. And now they are going with a 3-man rotation. That's one team I'm not picking to win it all.

QUOTE (shipps @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 10:51 AM) I am totally aware that these injuries do not paralyze White for the rest of his life but he isnt a factor to me until he proves that he is a factor that can be counted on. I dont want to here the phrase "well White is coming back next year so thats a plus" because in my rollodex of the Bears org he hasnt been a part of it and will not be until he lasts a season or two at the very least. And we still don't know if he's any good yet. Plenty of wide receivers have been drafted high in the first round and busted. Not only does he have to prove he can play a full season, but that he will perform at a high level. Just another major question mark in the Bears' future.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 06:31 PM) My 9 year old Golden is undergoing life saving surgery tomorrow for tumors that have ruptured on his spleen. This is all incredibly sudden and devastating. I know he's but a dog but he means the world to me, please send good vibes. Good luck to your pooch!

Noah Syndergaard threw 42 pitches 98+ mph tonight. That's more than the Phillies (41) and Indians (35) threw all year. #Thor — Inside Edge (@InsideEdgeScout) October 6, 2016

QUOTE (Scoots @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 07:42 AM) Was Beckham traded from Atlanta to San Francisco? On September 27. He failed to reach base in 6 PAs for the Giants, but they are 6-1 since trading for him!

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 6, 2016 -> 01:49 AM) Wow I had no idea that Beckham was on the team. Unfortunately for everyone, he was acquired in September so he will not be bracing us with his presence on a postseason roster.

Did that really just happen? LOL

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 01:15 PM) Somewhere Kenny Williams just flipped over a buffet table. Is Rizzo still there? Sticking it to Kenny one more time?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 01:14 PM) Man, I have no idea who the Bears pissed off this year, but they did a good job of it. Better to piss off the injury gods this year, rather than during a year you planned on contending.

Adam and Drake Laroche throwing out the first pitch of game 2. Rizzo sticking to Kenny one more time.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 5, 2016 -> 09:57 AM) The Bears are going to win just enough games this season to screw up their draft pick. I am convinced of it. For sure. They aren't THAT bad compared to the worst teams, and they don't have the toughest schedule. They could easily be 3-3 before Minnesota comes to town and spanks them on national TV.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 4, 2016 -> 06:12 PM) I have similar hesitation in regards to maintaining a pool...it is different here though. Pools are to backyards in Vegas kind of like decks are to midwesterners. When our house is appraised, we get docked for not having a pool. Not necessarily enough to make me shell out $85k for one, but it is clear that most homebuyers expect a pool when considering a property such as ours. Outdoor living is a big consideration here. It almost never rains, and the weather is very temperate for 5-6 months of the year. Late September through mid-December and then late February through the beginning of June we have temperatures between 60-80 on most days. So getting outside and being active is a major consideration for deciding to live in the middle of the desert. Another big consideration for us is our location within the Las Vegas Valley. We live in an older part of town, close to urban centers. I am just a few miles from the Strip and downtown Las Vegas. As such, we don't necessarily have easy access to the suburban parks and sports complexes that some folks that our located in the newer master-planned communities have. As a result, we would like to make our property something of an oasis for our son and his friends as he gets older. We'd like our home to be a place where he and his friends can hang out and play, as opposed to having to either seek out places to play in some of the more urban areas (which can be a bit shady) or having to truck him out to those newer areas. Not that we won't have to do that on occasion, but we'd like him to have things to do at home and it would be comfortable to be able to have some clue of what he is doing when he is out playing. While I would love to build the pavilion, I'm not sure that does a whole lot for him. It probably would be something our friends and family could use more so than our son and his friends. Which is why if we do choose that option, I think we have to be prepared to put in either option 1 or 3 later on once he gets older. I'm still in the process of gathering info as to costs. I suspect the pool option will cost somewhere between $75-100k. The pavilion option is probably in that same ballpark. I suspect the sport court, assuming we put in fencing and lights, is going to run close to that as well. I hope to finish that part of the process within the next few weeks. If you guys were kids though...like age 5 or 6 all the way up through high school, which option do you think you would have liked your childhood home to have had? My -wife's family lives in Palm Springs, and it's the exact same way. I don't know if it gets as hot in Vegas as it does there, but you need to have a pool there. Living without one is almost out of the question, especially for those long extra hot summer months.
