Support NeoGAF

Jeez the comments on the Cubs FB page are worse than YouTube comments.
Conspiracy theorists are saying that Ricketts just wants to save money and they should boycott the team.
Others are saying that we had a chance at the WC since we won 4 in a row.
I hate this fanbase sometimes.

Hershiser said Kershaw is the best pitcher he has ever seen.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

I wonder if the Rays would bite on Craig and maybe some middling pitching from AAA. He's really not cutting it right now but that track record might sway someone. Loney is probably doing just as well is the thing holding back that deal, I think.

Maybe we can get a bag of baseballs if we kick in some money.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Dan Haren has been a great signing for us this year. If he could get away from giving up early runs he'd be even better.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

11-game hitting streak for B.J. Upton.

 

[aFIGurANT]

Maybe if Craig was still in arbitration, but no way with the contract he has. Plus everyone else in the league is seeing what the Cardinals are seeing.

He's not been terrible though. I mean obviously you want cost controlled guys and Tampa doesn't have the payroll to support a mediocre Craig, but maybe it happens if the right package comes together.

Doesn't sound that different from any other fanbase to me.

11-game hitting streak for B.J. Upton.

put him in the HOF with Bobby in a few weeks now and get it over with

 

[brianjones]

welp

haren practicing for the home run derby

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Matt Kemp gives the Rockies some rally power.

 

[carlos]

yeah Heyward is such a great baserunner, he's definitely deserves to lead the team in WAR....

fuck advanced metrics

 

[rando14]

ugh can't even hit a sacrifice fly

This is among the dumbest things you have said.

 

[carlos]

just mad at his stupid baserunning in the 3rd inning...

I can understand his defensive value, but he doesn't get on base enough to take advantage of said good baserunning.

Just pissed at him wasting his supposed potential, and all we get is a .250 hitter with no power (for 1 1/2 more years).

I'm getting annoyed at watching him ground out to second or pop up, much like I was with Andruw in his latter years in ATL. Even his rbi single today was a soft hit ball a foot away from possibly being a DP.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Tied

 

[carlos]

I am liking this offense today, though

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

They've imploded. 6-3 Braves

 

[Windu]

in play, run(s)

 

[aFIGurANT]

Way to cough it up to the fucking dregs of this Miami lineup, Rosenthal. Not that I think he should have been in there but still a sorry display.

He is great against RHP......but completely lost against LHP.

 

[carlos]

indeed, but his defense is too good for him to be platooned.

still, team MVP according to WAR? I don't think I can trust the calculations used to get those results.

and now harang starts haranging again....

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

LOL Freddie

 

[Malo]

What a stupid decision by Cervelli.

 

[eznark]

 

[harSon]

I think he may have ejaculated

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I probably shouldn't have said anything about Haren earlier.

Well this is certainly a game to forget.

 

[brianjones]

whoa i turned that dodger game off

looks like they're making a game of it

 

[rando14]

Wow stole one, I'll take it

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

HEYWARD

 

[Windu]

best RFer

 

[Sumidor]

Yessssss. I love when the M's can beat the white sox.

 

[Doomsayer]

Uribe really screwed that up for us... but at least we made it close.

It's all up to the blowpen now. Kill me.

 

[JDeluis]

C'mon Ellis at least swing at the ball once.

 

[eznark]

Holy fuck Joey Votto is an embarrassment right now.

 

[brianjones]

puig da gawd

 

[Loco4Coco]

Hate night games on weekends.

He definitely shouldn't have been in there he barely made it out of the game yesterday

I missed last night but it sounded pretty ugly. At a certain point you need to trust Neshek and Motte and let someone else earn the save. It does no one any good to let him keep blowing big games just so he can know he's "the guy."

 

[bigosc2k]

God dammit Machi

he should've put Neshek tonight he's having an awesome season and Rosie could've used a night off after throwing nearly 40 pitches last night and almost blowing the game. Yea he should definitely trust the others more though

 

[Lexxism]

and Encarnacion is hurt. Lol at this team being healthy.

 

[arts&crafts]

Da Toooornto CURSE!!!!

 

[bigosc2k]

Thank you based Belt

 

[Turboclese]

9 straight wins, I like it.

 

[arts&crafts]

lol all 3 singles in this inning were luck Jays can't catch a break

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Brandon f'in BELT is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally!!!!!!!

 

[rando14]

How bout them astros

 

[arts&crafts]

either the Jays have no idea how to play this field or the As are the luckiest team ever with where they bloop all these singles

 

[Vercetti84]

good rebound game i guess. take the series tomorrow O's.

 

[Lexxism]

Hahaha bullshit umpire. Cabrera was safe
