I don't think I've ever seen someone look so beaten down on the mound. I think he needs to go to Iowa just so he can (hopefully) get some guys out and get his confidence back,

Geez, this has been a fucking stellar winter for the Ricketts family.

I wonder what they could do to distract from the racist Joe story?

I dreamed, on and off, for fully six hours last night about a Gremlin (i.e. one of the Gremlins from the film) who would fucking NOT give me back the keys to my Bentley.  It was fucking exhausting.

Would he have given you the keys to an AMC Gremlin?

Man, Hamels is great and all but I want them to break the goddamn bank.

Harper, Corbin, trade for DeGrom and Kimbrel.

If we're shooting for the moon...

I like the sentiment, but how?

If this ends in a one and done, who gets fired?

Nobody?

Counting today, the Cubs scored zero or one run 39 times. Only the Orioles (40) did so more times.

After ending with nearly identical records in the regular season, Shooter and I tie in the finals 5-5.
Yahoo has me winning the tiebreak, though I'm not sure the rationale.

Great season to all, let's do it next year.

It took some searching, but: "Playoff Tie-Breaker:   Best regular season record vs opponent wins"

You won 10-2 and 6-4 in the regular season. Congrats.

So if your neighbor is a bigot then your kids can't play with his kids?

It's "bigout" in Canada.

0 for their last 28 with RISP by my calculation.

Any recommendations for Cubs podcasts?

Ivy Envy is solid. The Athletic has one that is pretty good too.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being LaStella with more pop and better defense.  No sign of LaStella's slightly delicate sensibilities, either.  I'll take that every day of the week.

That's am every day player, probably. Maybe not for the Cubs, but generally.

I know the Cubs are great at managing players and they probably don't want to send him down unless they have to, but after tonight's performance I think it's safe to say he should be making regular starts at Iowa trying to figure this out.  He doesn't seem to have any value as a bullpen arm whatsoever.

He'd have to pass through waivers, and some shitty team would gladly claim him to try fixing him while the Cubs pay his salary.

If they claim him, don't they get his contract too?
