Teenage SnB would be hating life right now. Older, 30ish year old Snb is just envious that they did it the smart, right way.

 

I don't really "get" the cub hate anymore. I'm not rooting for them, but I'm not exactly rooting against them either. Hell, I'll probably make my way to wrigley sometime this month/september just to feel some pennant chase baseball buzz again.

 

The cubs fans in my office aren't obnoxious and I don't really hang out in bars anymore and have to deal w/ those type of fans. The people that know me know I'm not going to get into the cubs/sox thing so they don't either.

 

Now get off my lawn.

 

I would think real Cub fans would be more interested in knocking off the Cardinals.

Nice lineup tonight Brewers:

1. Shane Peterson (L) RF

2. Khris Davis ® LF

3. Adam Lind (L) 1B

4. Jonathan Lucroy ® C

5. Scooter Gennett (L) 2B

6. Elian Herrera (S) 3B

7. Jean Segura ® SS

8. Logan Schafer (L) CF

9. Taylor Jungmann ® P

Another pathetic effort by the Brewers vs the Cubs

Between the Cubs and the Knicks dynasties, the next 10 MLB/NBA titles are all spoken for.

This nonsense is silly. All that matters is the White Sox and Bulls are locked out by their own stupidity. The White Sox management lacks the guts to do what is necessary.

Crazy talk. The White Sox ARE currently doing what you want them to be doing. They just did it so damn fast and well that you didn't even notice and took a shot at competing with the new core because it's so damn good.

Either your television doesn't work, or you are being sarcastic.

Brewers got bailed out by the wild pitch, Montero almost got out of it.

 

First blown save since the end of May.

Montero saves the day with a walk-off solo shot in the tenth.

12 of 13, now 4.5 up on the WC. This sucks

Closing fast on the Pirates as well

Not a surprise, Pirates have a tough schedule and losing Burnett has really exposed their pitching staff. Starling Marte also left tonight's game with a hand injury. As long as Cubs don't pass the Cardinals, I'll just pray that Cole or Liriano can beat Arrieta in a 1-game situation.

That Rizzo play...

And for the record the Cubs will hit a wall soon this year. Not saying they won't make the playoffs but they're still far from a lock.

Nope. The dynasty starts now.

I think their pitching staff could very realistically let them down in the stretch run. 1 and 2 are top notch in the rotation, but there is no guaranteeing they get great production from 3-5. Rondon and Grimm are pretty much nails but neither is experienced as a closer and they are fairly soft beyond those two. Their success can be mostly attributed to the pitching staff but it isn't exactly loaded with talent nor is it loaded with guys that have track records of consistent performance. With that said, they're all on fire right now.

That Rizzo play...

Was at first called an out. Does anyone know the exact rule on this? Are you allowed to climb or step on anything on the field?

I thought since he caught it while still in play it would be an out and once he went out of play the runners get to move up. Not sure exactly

Article on the now legendary Rizzo play.

Edited August 13, 201510 yr by caulfield12

Second greatest play after Derek Jeter's

 

Daryl Boston's play in the late 80's tops both of them.

So Uribe's World Series 9th inning catch into the stands doesnt get any love? Rizzo made the "catch of the century" against a terrible Brewers team fielding a AAA lineup?

 

It was a really good catch, but goddamn there have been better catches in bigger moments. Hell, Dewayne Wise's catch was better given the circumstances

Yeah, gotta agree there. It was neat, but it wasn't spectacular or anything.

Right. This one was cool. But we've seen cooler.

Everything that the Cubs do nowadays are going to be the greatest, bestes, awesomest, thing ever accomplished.

Considering the circumstances, Uribe's catch out-ranks them all. Diving over the wall in the bottom of the 9th of a 1-run World Series clinching game with a runner on 2nd base.

And no one will ever talk about it outside of the South Side.
