Will the Cubs win? No, but it could go either way.

    WaLi,

    Seems like it is for the cardinals. I wish they signed him for 10 years.

    It works out to around even if you add in his FHWAR (Fan hard-on WAR)

    DMick—I don’t know if you have noticed but the thumbs up/down don’t seem to stick around after refreshing the page.

    berselius,

    It reminds me of this crazy farmer who owned several plots near where I grew up that put up signs of the most outrageous and non-sensical conspiracy theories, just raving.

    I used to think it was funny.

    Now the likes of him run the country. The joke was on me the entire time.

    As seen on ESPN:

    Now, on March 24, the Budweiser Clydesdales are prancing around outside, and Jimmy Kimmel and Huey Lewis are mingling with selfie-taking fans before they take the field for the seventh-inning stretch. It’s a party as much as a game, complete with an amazing array of jerseys past (Santo, Banks, Jenkins, Ryan Theriot) and present…

    Wait—what!?

    Considering how often you hear them during the season, I’m always kind of offended when radio advertisers don’t update their ads for a new season.

    I finally re-upped mlb.tv; the plan for tomorrow is to finally listen to the radio broadcast of game seven.

    Why update? The Cubs still haven’t won back-to-back in 109 years?

    Judging by the BN game thread, the Cubs did not win the World Series last year.

    While this game is frustrating, I still expect STL to finish the season at least 10 back of the Cubs, so it’s tough to get too spun up tonight.

    Smokestack Lightning,

    The Cubs never actually won the World Series. Baseball is never good. This is hell.

    (Have I approximated your BN experience?)

    You need to add a convoluted argument that Kris Bryant striking out three straight times is actually a good thing, because game theory or something.

    Remember when the Cubs were down three in the ninth in San Francisco and set to go back to play a game five?

    Hm. Maybe next time don’t pitch the LH guy against the guy who hits LHP well. And certainly not after he walks the LHB who is bad at sports.
