Soler's carrying at least 5 pounds around his neck, that's a thick chain. This game is not ending 7-4

Clayton Richard! !

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 07:00 PM) This Cubs team is just about unbeatable with the wind howling out like this. So many players in that lineup with perfect swings for this ballpark/weather. Only team that matched them at home with wind blowing out this year was the Tigers. I know what happened in the regular season, but I think the Mets could battle them now. Lots of similar bats, boom or bust.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 07:01 PM) I made a comment earlier about the BS Cubs fans, but honestly, the Cardinals fans are almost as bad. Taking the north/south side bias out, the Cardinals are the worst fans in baseball. Anybody who calls themselves the best fans in baseball automatically become the worst fans in baseball. But they are right that Matheny sucks

Better hope Stroman wins game 5 or you traded the farm for a guy to pitch 3 relief innings in a 6 run game, while sitting out game 5.

Wow, David Price in the 5th inning with a 6 run lead. Marcus Stroman in game 5?

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 03:57 PM) Obama? No way, the increase in security would tip everybody off ahead of time

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 03:25 PM) Maddon's probably fielding his best hitting lineup today as well It's amazing how much better a lineup looks without David f***ing Ross

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 03:26 PM) Even if the cubs win this series i think the mets will take care of them in 7. From a baseball standpoint, I think that would be a fun series. (Yeah, I know, no nice things said about the Cubs)

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 03:11 PM) I got a feeling jake will be exposed today. I could be way off. He may, but I think the Cubs hit at least 3 homers today, so it may not matter.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 01:47 PM) J. Rodgers moves to season-ending IR. Sigh. At least they will finally have to give Langford more playing time.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 08:58 AM) Wind blowing out is bad for Cardinals. Wacha's fly ball rate is way higher than Arrieta Yeah, that's true. Winning today would require 10x more playoff pixie dust than they have used in the past.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 09:40 AM) Packers defense is better than the Packer offense right now. Weird to see. They also haven't faced a good offense yet.

Can't stop laughing at this, Leach is actually the guy I wanted Illinois to hire instead of Beckman. http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2...-two-go-for-two

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 07:17 PM) Well, they're calling themselves America's Team lately. Also, 22 mph wind blowing straight out tomorrow...yuck Too bad it's not Hammel vs. Lynn tomorrow, that could have been an all-time epic Wrigley shootout. Arrieta and Wacha should still be able to handle the wind.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 01:45 AM) Hey I texted my obsessed Royals friend today when Hosmer weakly tapped out with runners on first and second and two out in the sixth and KC down 1-0. I said, "I'm sad for you, but that's probably the game." The magic isn't there this year. Call it the "curse of Rios." KC doesn't have "it" this year. the bullpen isn't as good with Holland gonzo. Moose and Hosmer are hitting like .100 and .200 for the playoff series so far. Cain crushed that home run to go up 1-0 and I thought KC just needs to get through this series playing poorly and maybe ultimately find themselves again. They are all outta sorts. I'll tell you one thing. BET THE HOUSE. Ventura will be awful today. He's not gonna suddenly turn into an Ace Ventura and mow down Houston. That's not in the cards, at least this season. Poor KC. They needed to pull an Ozzie last year when they had a chance and win it all in their one trip to the WS like we did. The magic is gone in KC. Rios was an awful addition; they should be playing one of their speedsters in right. Gordon should be leading off. LOL at Ned and the Royals. They.Are.Done. Another "BET THE HOUSE" special guarantee from our resident gambling expert.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 10:09 PM) Dark horse: Kyle Whittingham I read this as Tyrone Willingham

Now there are stories that Sark was drunk at the ASU game this year. Also got so drunk he passed out on the flight home from Wazzu last year, some players took pics. When I was at the UW-Illinois game last year, the UW alumni we hung out with all had stories about Sark and his social life. As bad as Sark looks, this is just as bad for the AD Haden.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 04:18 PM) Sarkisian going on LOA, sounds like he was hungover/drunk at practice today From what I've heard, it sounds like Haden should have never let it get this far, he needed help back in August.

Typical Bears luck. In a rebuilding year, they aren't even the worst team in the division. They could even finish second. Either way, today was fun. Or at least the 4th quarter was.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 10, 2015 -> 09:11 AM) @JimMiller: 4 highly regarded @Grantland33 staffers turned in resignations today to @ESPN and will be going to work for @BillSimmons That's a bummer, Grantland seemed to be getting better and better

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 01:06 PM) Cardinals fans are beyond pompous. But somehow less so than Cubs fans. At least the Cubs don't self proclaim themselves as the best fans in baseball

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 11:49 AM) Bennett and Forte may each have 10 catches For 60 yards combined

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 12:57 AM) Watch this. Nice 5 on 3 power play

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 10, 2015 -> 10:33 PM) Well the rails on the Goff hype train have derailed. Not so fast my friend
