Thurs Funnies: It's easy to screw up against this Cubs lineup.
Well, it didn't eXACTly play out like this - Andrew Heaney got a nose bleed earlier in the game.
But you get what I mean.
The Cubs' lineup is just one big monster and if you screw up, it'll only get bigger.
Tonight we'll get to see John Lackey as a Cub for the first time.
For some reason, I feel like he's going to fit in just fine and not have any year one jitters.
Lets see what happens in Phoenix, shall we?
Go Cubs.
Friday Funnies. Don't freak out about Cubs wins and losses in ST.
Inspired by some of the comments here yesterday.
And my own knee-jerk reactions to the letter "L".
Sunday Funnies: Watching Playoffs with my Bears Anger.
I try to keep my Bears Anger in check, but it bleeds out all the time.
Anyway, there really is good football to watch today.
Happy Playoff Sunday.
Can Arrieta win 20?
I think I counted right.
There are 55 games left, which is 11 starts.
If he gets 8 more wins, Jake Arrieta could be the first Cub 20-game winner since Jon Lieber in 2008.

Sunday Not Funnies: Rizzo and Russell collide.
Maybe you were watching.
Maybe you heard it on the radio.
But when Anthony Rizzo and Addison Russell collided going for that pop up, I figure everybody felt like this.
Monday Not Funnies. Andrew McCutchen is having a slump.
Lets hope it lasts a little longer...

I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.
neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it).

smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.
this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things. the default is delay. i would choose brown.
like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.
anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.
I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.
If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.
Give him a chance.
But Wesneski probably gets it
