QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 11:17 PM) Yeah fat linebackers like Pernell McPhee have never had success anywhere. I don't mean McPhee. Also, I said fat linemen, not fat linebackers. I'm talking about LaMarr Houston, Willie Young, and David Bass.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 14, 2015 -> 09:25 AM) I do hope Flowers just throws it to 1B if that ever happens again. So you want Flowers to throw to 1B after the runner has been called out and the play is dead? That doesn't make sense.

We do not have proper personnel for a 3-4 defense. Having fat linemen play linebacker always goes well, right?

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 11:28 AM) I wonder how much the kids heading back to school had to do with the prices rising? Maybe nothing at all but I know when I was still commuting into Chicago everyday, I hated this time of the year because my commute time always went up with more traffic/buses on the road slowing everything down. Don't know about anywhere else but my kids started back yesterday. Yesterday? Wow, my high school starts on the 26th.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 11:14 AM) That's why I hate replay in baseball. You end up playing imaginary baseball at times. It was clear Tyler didn't throw because the ump confirmed he was out. Anybody who watches baseball knows that the runner would be out 99% of the time on the play, but the other 1% the catcher ends up throwing it into right field and he makes it to third. But because the ump blew a call we don't know what would have happened. That puts the replay guys in tough spot too because they're damned if they do and damned if they don't. Either call they make is going to rightfully piss off one of the fanbases. very well put

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 10:13 AM) Again, I know I shouldnt be but I am excited to watch some football tonight. Me too. I know the Bears won't finish any better than 7-9 (especially with their schedule), but I am excited to watch the first half of tonight's game.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 13, 2015 -> 10:24 AM) That's what we say every year, but they always dominate. I'd say OKC/Houston is very likely to finish outside top 5. I think Houston is a lock to finish top-five. However, OKC, if Westbrook and Durant cannot stay healthy, may very well finish out of the top 5.

Next time you give him props, try to spell his name correctly.

I expect to wake up to a 4-2 loss in 14 innings.

oh come on

The great Leury Garcia is on deck

Alexei was clutch earlier tonight. Can he do it again?

Thanks Conor!

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 10:56 PM) Jose will end it here. right

Petricka and Putnam have matching 3.12 ERAs

deceptive arm

Eaton has looked clueless at the plate today

Leury Garcia and Emilio Bonifacio have basically been the same player for us this year the transition is seamless

Since when does Petricka hit 98??

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 10:32 PM) How do we let Pujols steal 2nd I was shocked to just now learn that he has 101 career stolen bases.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 10:28 PM) Yes, he's never played baseball before last week The hitting .500 part was sarcasm, but I still would have left him in. He's on a hot streak

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 10:23 PM) Trayce has poor RH splits. In what, like 12 ABs? And he's hitting .500, so I would've taken the chance.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 10:23 PM) has to be the Cubs they seem to have a walk off win every other day Oh look, there's another

Don't we lead baseball in walk-off hits? Or are we top 3 or something

If Leury doesn't come in at CF, we could also put Alexei there, shift Beckham to SS, and put Sanchez in at 2B. Or keep Beckham at 2B and put Carlos at SS, which I believe is his natural position.
