It's nuts to think that the Cubs solid second half so far at 14-3 doesn't even extrapolate to the Dodgers stretch of 40-6

I'm hoping the Dodgers lay a big fat egg in the NLDS because I don't think we win an NLCS rematch against them.

I remember him as the first Cubs new manager right after I was reinvigorated by 1998 and Jim Riggleman was axed.

Seemed like a decent guy buy was an awful manager.

Seriously? Baseball is weird man.

Baseball is the best sport simply for the weirdness of it.

A hitter can do everything right at the plate, put one over the fence, but the OF could leap and pull it back in resulting in an out, but the next guy could have an excuse me swing, hit the ball 30 feet, and end up on first base.

Some of those are awful. A few good ones, but a lot of bad. Almost as bad as "turn ahead the clock day' from back in the 90s.

Kind of jealous you guys had real little league experiences. I think one of the teams I played on was sponsored by a nursing home. The coaches assigned positions every inning and the lineups were well more than 9 people.

Still, I hit nearly .700 one year (in only 9 games). I was a big guy but mainly a singles and doubles hitter. I had exactly one triple and exactly one homer in all my time playing.

Most teams actually played for in a season is 4, with a number of guys doing it

Notable on the list: Joey Bats

Back in the 70's one guy played on a team in all 4 divisions.

He is really, really bad.

Part of me was disappointed when the Cubs didn't sign him. Glad we dodged that bullet.

My favorite baseball fight was Andre Dawson chasing the pitcher with his bat.

Kyle Farnsworth/Paul Wilson and Barrett/AJP rank right up there too.

I remember a Cubs/Mets brawl from the mid 90s that can't seem to find the cause of. I know that one was pretty bad too.

Someone with an extra spot on their 40 man should sign Julio Franco for September.
