Haha, you are so Nutty. See you later.

I kind of have a job, so no time to go delving through stats for it. Jose Fernandez is one, definitely. There are others.

Nah, pretty much all through the season, with the exception of Alex Reyes. You can look it up or be myopic.

You’re missing the pattern -this Cubs team has a known track record for sucking the first time they see a guy, then crushing that guy in subsequent outings.

Of course, that may mean absolutely dick against Kluber - how do you hit a fastball that almost hits you in the face then breaks across the plate?

What in the flying fuck does one lily-white guy yelling “check your priviliege” at another lily-white guy even mean? Is it an insult? Advice?

Ugh. I hope they are both mauled by dung beetles.

The sad part about that is, from a pure baseball perspective, that 2005 Sox run was fun as hell to watch . Every time they needed something to happen - induce a double play, move the runner into scoring position, keep the inning alive with long AB - they executed. It was like they could do no wrong.

Meanwhile, the…

Kershaw is the best pitcher in baseball; it’s not like Scherzer or Arrieta (or anyone else) is SO dominating in the post-season as to supplant Kershaw’s regular-season output. I submit that he’s had terrible innings, not so much terrible games.

I’m sorry, but if anyone plays the game “...the right way” it’s Baez. I hope he’s still having this much fun when he’s a few years into it.

Except literally everyone is saying this. Even Cub fans.

Really hoping that Gould has a good comeback for the Giants, if only so he can be on hand 11/20 for the Bears @ NYG to personally underscore what a shitty franchise the Bears actually are.

I think the Red Wings were willing to throw money at Hossa, but he wanted one last look around. Even so, Franzen looked like he was just scratching his potential when Detroit signed him to that contract - it wasn’t a bad deal on the day it was signed.

Eh, no. Havlat was great, but he was also held together by baling wire and duct tape. Look at all the hockey the Hawks have played beyond the regular season since 2010, and contrast that to all the hockey Havlat has NOT played since 2010. With Havlat on the roster, his lack of health provides an excuse for…

It’s not so much that the Dodgers ARE better, they’re just not as far off their norm as the Cubs are. With the exception of Bryant and Heyward, the Cubs don’t look anything like they did all year at the plate. They showed signs last night, but everything they hit hard went directly into the glove of a Dodger. I…

Not that I am doubting the mad skillz of the Pats IT guy, but this sounds like infrastructure, not client. Stadium wireless is a pain in the ass, but certainly something that should be zeroed-in by now.

They’ll still bring up his post-7th ERA, like it’s the inning that matters, and not the number of times through the lineup. He seemed to close out that NLDS game alright, and that was after the 7th inning.

It’s going to be a Cleveland/LA series; the Cubs had their best chance to beat Kershaw on Sunday, and they blew…

The problem with Albert wasn’t his hitting, it was that he never knew when to stop hitting.

It’s the Dodgers’ series to lose. The Cubs are batting .193 in the postseason, and heading to LA they’re talking about sitting some of the regulars in favor of guys off the bench, presumably to get more hitting. All that will do is compromise their fielding, which has been their saving grace this postseason. This…

You take that back, Trevor Bauer is an AMERICAN.

Yyyyeah, it’s the “PC police” that are failing...

While a significant sum (15 million), the annual NBC contract is small potatoes compared to alumni donations (~100M annually) and whatever they earn off their 10B endowment.
