2 innings, 48 pitches

Less than ideal

You're not only playing in the postseason, you're winning this game and already one game up in the series. Stros posting is the new Cubs posting.

I specifically remember Chapman being very obviously annoyed and disinterested whenever he had to actually field his position even a little bit.

Would you say he was gun-shy? Did he beat himself up over it? Get all choked up?

If the Cubs make it back to the WS, what charity do I donate to this year for runs scored? I could do RAINN again even with Chapman gone.

My charities of choice this year are to help Puerto Rico, the ACLU and the National Eating Disorders Association. There's a whole thread I made for Toxx pledges that I need to bump with updates after the games tonight.

I once told Joe Maddon's wife that she looked nice, and Joe Maddon gave me a look of death that took four years off my life

This is all the funnier if Joe knows about Kevlar and just still likes giving death glares. Rest assured that if you compliment my girlfriend's looks and you won't receive any threatening staredowns from me.

Also, Jon Jay is awesome and it makes me happy that Cubs fans have come around to him. I remember some of you being skeptical about him pre-season.
