The postseason starts with game 163.
Quintana vs. Chacin, with both managers having itchy trigger fingers for the quick hook.
Let's party.

If Q gets 2 guys on base, tight-arsehole-Joe will pull him after .2 innings.

There's a name for that: a Hammel.
They have a bullpen. We don't.
That trade for Wilson was regrettable. So was Joe's decision to use him there.

Agree with you on the trade, but it's not like any of these guys can be trusted at this point.

50/50 Joe retires, regardless if it ends tomorrow in Wrigley or in 3 weeks in Grant Park.

September:
Jesse Chavez: 1.15 ERA over 15.2 IP.
Jorge De La Rosa: 1.64 ERA over 11 IP
Steve Cishek: 4.15 ERA over 8.2 IP, though he went 9 straight appearances leading into G163 without giving up a run.
Chicago bullpen in September: 10th in MLB in ERA at 3.98.
Chicago bullpen in 2018: 2nd in MLB in ERA at 3.35.
Can we fucking stop with "bullpen concerns"? "Bullpen concerns" is just you telling me that you're a whiny bitch.
The only bullpen concern you should have is that the Milwaukee bullpen has been nuts since 9/1. That, and the Colorado bullpen has been great since 9/1.

Hopefully a good number of somebodies...starting with Joe retiring. Then the hitting and pitching coaches. Burn it to the ground.
Young talent outside of Baez and Almora is regressing, or at best, not progressing. Schwarber is a huge missed opportunity to deal to the AL (which is the only place he will ever have value). In the NL he's a LH Mark Bellhorn that plays LF. Happ is a lost cause. KB certainly doesn't look like a HOF player - expectations of legit power from him should be revised down. Russell is a wife beater and overrated. There are no young arms anywhere close to the bigs. How the fuck can this vaunted front office not have a Miles Mikolas equivalent to show for their efforts?
This team isn't getting better from within. And there's way too much dead weight going into the offseason. The NL was trash this year, and this team would have been lucky to win 84 in the AL East or West.
Machado or bust this offseason.

Joaquin is the only person under 70 who is dead but who also pitched in a World Series Game 7 (Mike Cuellar is the other).
But, really, I was going for this (https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mota).
And, incidentally, the Spanish slang term (or, at least one of them) for cocaine is "Nieve" which is, literally, "snow".

Young talent outside of Baez and Almora is regressing, or at best, not progressing. Schwarber is a huge missed opportunity to deal to the AL (which is the only place he will ever have value). In the NL he's a LH Mark Bellhorn that plays LF. Happ is a lost cause. KB certainly doesn't look like a HOF player - expectations of legit power from him should be revised down. Russell is a wife beater and overrated. There are no young arms anywhere close to the bigs. How the fuck can this vaunted front office not have a Miles Mikolas equivalent to show for their efforts?
This team isn't getting better from within. And there's way too much dead weight going into the offseason. The NL was trash this year, and this team would have been lucky to win 84 in the AL East or West.
Machado or bust this offseason.
Are you drug-tested at work?
If not, have you thought about picking up a drug habit?
Has he met Coke Hamels?
I think Oleg would recommend Guillermo Mota.

Joaquin is the only person under 70 who is dead but who also pitched in a World Series Game 7 (Mike Cuellar is the other).
But, really, I was going for this (https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mota).
And, incidentally, the Spanish slang term (or, at least one of them) for cocaine is "Nieve" which is, literally, "snow".
I learn something new everyday.
I'll bet you don't.
You clearly don't understand just how little I know.
Don't sell yourself short.
