Chicago Cubs baseball!!!

Those aren't the only 2 categories they keep track of. The guy eats innings. Which helps a horrible cub bull pen. Over 200 innings pitched in every year except his rookie year. Less than 100 earned runs in every year except 2 in the bigs (117 and 101). He's never walked more than 68 batter in any season. I'd take my chances with him in the playoffs.

I don't even know why I am arguing with you on this one. As a Giants fan I would say please Cubs trade for him. I think the Giants would be more than happy to see him again in that atmosphere. When the Cubs signed Edwin Jackson it was because he is an innings eater. Keep going after those guys instead of just getting a better bullpen.

You just compared Edwin Jackson to James shields? Good one.

I'm not sure why you're arguing this either. You should love the idea of him leaving the west. If he was that bad, you'd think you'd want him to stay and face the Giants 8-10 times a year.

The Giants are 2-1 against him this season. I like him just fine in the West.

Cubs...2.5 games back in the Wild Card
White Sox...2.5 games back in the Wild Card

White Sox started the 2nd half EXACTLY how we needed the Cubs to start the 2nd half.

Instead the Cubs play like crap against the White Sox, Phillies, and Rockies.

Big 4 game series against the Brewers this weekend.

well, boys.....that became a moot argument.

Big 4 game sweep & 5 game win streak going! 7 games against the Pirates & Giants coming up; a chance to gain some ground! (But I'm sure we'll go 4-3 or 3-4 at best... can't quite get over the hump yet.)

Glad you were wrong, huge 4 game sweep of SF. 10 of the last 11. Long way to go but sitting good today. Gotta keep it going. Been wayyyy too long since we've had meaningful games in mid August.

I have never been so happy....
To have been SO WRONG!

Cubbies are playing some great ball the last 15 or so games.

What a play by Rizzo. Pretty stupid rule runners automatically get to advance.

Would it kill this fucking team to ever have a god damn 1-2-3 9th inning??? Jesus fucking Christ this is every god damn game!!

No shit, can't remember the last time we got a 1 2 3 save, especially with a 1 run lead.

pureoc

WALKOFF WINNER!!!!

Long way to go, but if it ends up being stl chi and ny la in the nlds who gets the primetime slot? Typically for the 2 days there could be 4 lds games they have a 5pm ct and 830pm ct game. Hoping cubs cards would get 1 of those and alds games would be during the day (if tor gets in thats a lock for day games). Will not be happy if any nlds games during the week would be midday. If they would get to the lcs i know 1 game during the week will start at 3pm ct.
