QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 03:24 PM) Yeah watching it up close it is a brutal watch. Was he always THIS conservative? I've watched a lot of Chiefs games cause of Jamaal Charles...and yeah, they usually are that conservative. Charles and Kelce are usually their go-to players for big plays. Without Charles, that offense is pretty stagnant.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 03:40 PM) That's hard when your QB can't throw a football 49 yards Remember when Alex Smith used to be able to throw the ball more than 20 yards with the Niners? It's like Reid has a leash on his arm and he's unable to throw it for more than 20 yards.

Charles getting hurt turned the tide of the game. Chiefs didn't get much going after that.

Not a catch.

lol looks like they might screw this up.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 03:10 PM) Unbelievable. Cutler brilliant again. Cutler was really inaccurate today, but he was money when it really mattered.

This was a very unexpected win...assuming we hold on.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 11, 2015 -> 02:20 PM) How could anybody pay Gordon more than 8-10 million a year is beyond me. What a bad signing he'll be for 18-25 million a year. His offensive value is solely by the geek stat OBP. His traditional stats of RBIs, BA and HRs are OK, by no means great. He's a great defensive player. But what is a GM thinking if he pays him 20 million a year for 5-8 years? He's 31 year old Alex Gordon for gawdsakes not some almighty stud. I guess he'd be a good acquisition for the Sox just to get some defense out there. But he's no ultra elite player. OBP is not a geek stat...it's something every team looks at.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 10, 2015 -> 10:18 PM) Greinke only gave up two homers for an entire game twice in 32 starts. Did it in one sequence tonight. Something is just not gelling with the Dodgers. Puig has been hurt or off his game pretty much the entire year. Pederson and Grandal slumped, along with Rollins. At any rate, we'll see about a billion articles about the 1969 Miracle Mets and the Cubs that season. The psychic karma is worth it just to not have to deal with StL and LA again. That Mets' rotation is just a beast. That's not even counting Matz, Colon and Wheeler. The Dodgers lineup is pretty underwhelming without a healthy and productive Puig. Gonzalez is pretty much the only pop they have in the middle of their lineup.

Utley's slide was dirty as f***. Coghlan's looked clean compared to it. MLB needs to get rid of the takeout slide.

Cardinals are in trouble. Who's going to start game 4? You might as well pencil in game 3 as a win for the Cubs.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 10, 2015 -> 05:24 PM) Like the decision to pull Garcia. Gives him a chance to go game 4 maybe. Lynn doesn't look like he's ready at all. 5 straight balls.

Garcia out already...after that awful play on the bunt...he deserves to be out.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 10:28 PM) I feel like the teams centered around "elite offenses" rarely succeed in the playoffs. Gotta agree here. Remember when the 2000 team scored a ton of runs during the season and couldn't hit to save their lives in the playoffs? The offenses with big power bats usually don't hit anywhere near as well as they do in the regular season. It's the teams that hit consistently that get it done in the playoffs.

Kershaw pitched well last night...he just got really unlucky again.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 08:34 PM) Tough start for the Cubs, depending on Hammel or Hendricks to get a W in the next 3 starts is not how you want it to go Hendricks is going tomorrow vs. Garcia.

Ball game.

It's interesting the Cardinals are using Wainwright as a reliever. I don't think it'll work as well as it did back in 2006. His stuff just isn't the same anymore.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 08:29 PM) Anyone starting to think tbs' box is off? It seemed off for the Pirates game too.

How are the Cardinals so good at finding gems after the 10th round?

That should be ball game. Cardinals OF prospects have been on point this year. Piscotty, Grichuk, and Pham.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 08:04 PM) Great decision, everything was tailing over the plate I just started watching in the 8th, so I didn't know he was starting to regress.

Pham with the insurance run.

Uh...are they really taking him out?

The best team in the AL on paper is probably going to lose in 3 or 4 games. The playoffs are weird.
