Cubs lose. LMAO

Wow Goldy!

 

He's got a such a crazy path to the ball. He just tomahawked that ball out.

Wow Goldy!

 

Best 1st baseman in baseball. (Miggy loses points because he can barely walk)

Remember konerko for Goldschmidt talk?

Goldschmidt and Rizzo are pretty darned close in OPS and war.

 

Rizzo has a huge advantage in stolen bases....over any 1b.

Lester now tied for the lead with most hitless ABs to start a (hitting) career. 0 for 57. Yeah NL baseball!

Pretty sure Hale leaving Perez and his over 1.000 OPS vs righties to face Soler is the dumbest managerial decision of the year. Joe Sheehan has a great tweet about it that I can't copy at this moment.

And a blown double play gives Rizzo an extra AB and he homers. Cubs now 2.5 out...yuck

Wouldn't it be cool if we were capable of scoring 9 runs? That seems like a pipe dream for our lineup right now.

Cubs are about to make the white sox a non entity. Say what you want but that organization has built itself into something. Arrieta and Rizzo are the moves that are defining them.

The last time the Cubs had a pretty good club for several years with young big-time talents the Sox won a WS. It isn't great for the Sox if the Cubs end up playing well, but we'll make it.

The whole "Abreu is the best first baseman in Chicago" lasted for about 10.5 seconds.

I would still take Abreu now (present day) but Rizzo is going to be a beast in the coming years. He's only 25 I think.

We're pretty much already a non-entity, and we were even when the Cubs were losing 90 games a year. What the Cubs do won't really change anything with regards to that.

Bloody hell, we could have done this. Get Rick Hahn hired somewhere in 2011-2012, have Hahn trade great talent to us for pennies on dollar, then hire Hahn as KWs replacement in 2013 as we did.

Cubs bring in Montero and Fowler, who have been awesome for them. Between them and KC, why can't the Sox get offensive guys to perform well after a move

Do Jermaine Dye and Jim Thome still count?

If we stick ourselves back in a time warp with AJ, Dye, Thome and/or Carlos Quentin in 2008...and Pods in the first half of 2005 stealing bases at will, heck, would love to have the equivalent of Iguchi at 2B, too.

 

After that, it's just Ramirez and Abreu.

Bryant's homer today landed in the front row with the wind blowing out.ESPN stats said in normal weather, Wrigley Field is the only park that is a home run. Its not who you play, but where you play em.

Pretty disappointing wind blowing out performance by both lineups, the O/U was 11.

 

 

Wtf was that overturn...cubs so lucky

It didn't look like it hit anything. Oh well.

How does Hendricks have a better ERA than any Sox starter? Can't believe he's shutting down Nationals.

Bryant is just a monster

That hit at least halfway up the new video board.
