Oh man... I forgot how many hairy pitchers we've gone through.


OK so they've all been hairy.


Not hairy: 
Rafael Soriano
Clayton Richard
Tsuyoshi Wada
Kyle Hendricks
Zach Rosscup
Yoervis Medina

That's the whole list. 
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

1 typo.  ONE fucking typo in that heartfelt post.  

I've never felt more like Leon Durham.

SQDPD

Actually I flat-out dropped the 3rd out in the 5th inning of what was to be Codys' first playoff victory ever, allowing the tying run to score, on a perfectly hard throw from Slaky from third base, after having a nearly flawless season playing 1st for several years.  My team (and myself) thankfully picked me up the next time we batted--and we won handily-- but I would have to say I never felt more like Leon Durham at that point.

You know, when the Cubs win this whole fucking thing, whether this year or at some point in the very near future, I hope they bring guys like Durham and Gonzalez back so they get the appreciation they deserve instead of being remembered for an error at a horrible time.

What fucking appreciation does Alex Gonzalez deserve? He was worth a whopping 2.1 fWAR in 2 1/2 seasons as a Cub and he botched a double play ball to send them to the fucking world series. I don't care if they win 10 titles, he deserves nothing but scorn forever.

Durham seems like a cool dude who deserved better, though.

Durham was my favorite player who was a fine glove man.

Not a big Gonzalez fan but the guy did hit a handful of walkoffs in '03.  Considering that the Cubs clinched the division on the second-to-last day of the season, I'd say he contributed.

Man, I forgot about that. I can't find a way to get a count of walkoffs, but he went 6 for 10 in extra innings that year with 3 HR.

Looks like it was three, according to Baseball Reference:

5/4: solo HR off of Steve Reed  (5-4 over the Rockies)
5/10: solo HR off of Cal Eldred  (3-2 over the Cardinals)
7/5: bases loaded single off of Esteban Yan (6-5 over the Cardinals)

Mets broadcast is already talking about 1969, claiming "they still haven't gotten over it on the North Side, so all the pressure will be on Chicago."  I feel pretty comfortable guaranteeing that not one individual in that Cubs clubhouse gives one green shit about 1969.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

Awww, that's so adorable. The Yankees are bad enough that the Mets are relevant in New York for a hot minute and now they're ready to put on the big boy pants and act like there's a rivalry?

Nice of Collins to burn Syndergaard instead of using one of his regular bullpen guys for the 7th tonight.

He warmed up in the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th innings. He threw damn near an entire game's worth of pitches, and then threw max effort fastballs all through the 7th. Hopefully that leaves him a tad fatigued for game 2.

I suppose it's also worth mentioning that most of their young pitchers have thrown way more innings this year than ever before in their careers.

he said, ignoring that the same could be said of Arrieta.
M'lady.

Damn, if he's going on 2 days rest in G2 I'd almost want Hendricks going instead of Jake.

Not inside the Cubs clubhouse, but it does seem like there are plenty of old-man fans who apparently aren't over it.

As long as none of those old-man fans needs to play SS, we're good.

Cubs fans in general just aren't over most of their history and we all know we won't be until they actually pull this thing off. Those kids don't give a shit, though.

I get that, but why aren't there any fans that wanted to "exorcise the demons" that came from the Dodgers sweep in '08?

Huey does.  By killing DeRosa and Dempster.  Literally.

Speaking for myself, I try my best to not even think about that team and leave the '69 Cubs-like knob-slobbering of the DeRosas and the Dempsters to the PenFoes of this world.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.
