BigHurt3515 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 10:27 AM) You can guarantee if Schwarber even makes a tiny impact it will be blown up as the biggest comeback from a devastating injury in the lore of baseball. I just know he is going to hit a home run or have a big hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is lining up perfectly for this to happen. My prediction is a mammoth pitch hit blast off Allen at Wrigley in game 3 or 4.

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 10:43 AM) Is there any type of precedent for what Schwarber is doing? I have seen a lot of people say that they don't think he'll be able to hit with such a long layoff but I'm in the who the hell knows camp. I could easily see him being just fine or being completely awful because I have nothing to go off of. I'm not sure but I know from personal experience that seeing live pitching after returning from an injury (for as little as a few week absence) took time to catch up with game speed again. This was only at the high school and college level so I can't imagine what it's like at the big league level. I'm very skeptical he'll enter the lineup after this extended layoff and immediately start crushing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 10:26 AM) yeah but those of us who grew up in Chicago have family members and loved ones that have been long suffering true Cubs fans. I dont want to see them heartbroken. I have friends and family, including my wife, that I'd like to see experience it too. But there is just something holding back that doesn't allow me to root for them and get excited when good things happen. I enjoy the baseball and watch neutrally, but something just keeps me from turning that corner. I wonder what that is, ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 11:38 AM) The city is going to be crazy either way. If you happen to live in Wrigleyville, I wouldn't imagine it being different than this past Saturday if they win on the road. If they're going to be handed the trophy, I'd rather it be in the clubhouse in Cleveland than on their home field. Come to think of it, maybe 6 games is bad...that's the day the Sox home park becomes Guaranteed Rate Field. The jokes write themselves.

Quin Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 11:12 AM) You can say that again. I bet at least 60-65% of their fan base is bandwagon/post 2010 fans. I actually tried to get into hockey in 2009. Liked Havlat the most on the Hawks. Then just decided hockey isn't for me. So I'll pull for the Hawks out of city pride, but don't proclaim myself as a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I just don't get how any Sox fan could want the Cubs to win here. The long-term impact of the Cubs winning multiple championships could be catastrophic for our franchise, but apparently that's ok for some as long as one of their loved ones gets to end their "suffering". I just don't get that logic and I say that as someone who is married to a diehard Cubs fan. Sucks I have to root against her "well-being", but this is f***ing sports, not something important like her health. I don't like this participation trophy attitude our country has developed and watching good Sox fans on this site actively cheer on a direct & dangerous rival is really a sign of the times.

StrangeSox Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I can't ever really hold too much against the Cubs because their run in 2003 was what got me paying attention to baseball again for the start of the 2004 season. I wasn't rooting for them then or now, but I do have to give them at least that much credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
