lerxt1990 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Congrats, Cubs! 98 wins for this, sigh.

Ancient Ways Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Congrats, Cubs! 98 wins for this, sigh. It really sucks :( I wonder what the highest standing is for a team that missed the postseason?Doesn't the wild card count as the post season? It's definitely not part of the regular season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaFellaStrangiato Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hated to see either team lose. I like underdog teams, and both squads fit the bill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tx_rush Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Clutch double plays every time the pirates started to rally. Arrieta was unbelievably dominate the first 5 innings - he lost a little bit the last few but still good. I hope hes not getting fatigued- hes been throwing a lot of games lately 110+ pitches Sean Rodriguez is hilarious- he fits every stereotype of the overly emotional latin guy with long hair- he broke his hand on a locker a few years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he was getting fatigued so much as just giving in a bit to the pressure of the game as well as all the shit that went down after he got plunked. You could tell he was overcome by what happened, which is why he stole a base He pulled it together a bit better towards the last two innings compared to right after he got hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he's OK.... :lookofconcern: I'm just following your lead in the Patriots or Brady threads. I'll step back and then reemerge in a few days denying that the truly Cubs won, and post some tin foil hat theory about how the game was fixed. The Cards look good this year.

You must be excited the Cubs are playing their bitter rivals. It would stink to get knocked off by them.Glad to see I'm in your head. Sorry to see a lawyer dismiss the importance of evidence. Fortunately, the Cubs have learned from Deflategate and implemented the following steps to head off any similar accusations. 1. Mr. Ricketts was at the game to look Arrieta in the eyes to be assured he didn't cheat. 2. Jake practiced his fake laugh instead of game prep for the inevitable grilling he'll get in WSCR this morning. 3. The Cubs hired an overweight clubhouse guy back in August. 4. Most importantly, AEI filled in the names this morning on the report that it wasn't that Schwarber's bats had too much cork but that McCutcheon's had too little. And the scouring of academia turned up a "long time Pirate fan" who "desperately wanted to believe" the Cubs cheated but is now convinced they are paragons of virtue.

By the way, the Patriots passed on Brady several times too, which is probably why you worded it the way you did.

But eventually the Patriots took him. And changed their franchise forever. The Dolphins haven't changed too much SINCE then. That's kind of a bummer, right? Oh well, at least you have the Cubs to support. But I remember what it was like before 2004. So much anxiety over the Sox possibly sh1tting the bed again. I don't miss those days.
