2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

Just saw this poor soul wearing a Carlos Marmol shirt at the grocery store. He's destined to be a loser.

Kurt Suzuki's first dinger (4) since back on June 20th off of Lester.

All Star last year when he batted .288. Batting .228 now - such a dumb move by the Twins to extend him on July 31st last year through the 2016 season for $6 million per year (with the vesting option for 2017 based on plate appearances) when he had never come close to being a .290 hitter in the past. He'd only ever hit in the .270s twice, and the last time was six years ago now.

Hopefully a .gif is made of Puig's throw to 2nd, but he's got to have the strongest arm in MLB.

Summed up...he barehanded the ball in short right, and fired a laser to 2nd to get the force.

Here we are, 0-12 in our last 12 playoff games going back to 2004.


All 12, against the Yankees.

Dont forget that sweep against Oakland in 06 

but 2002...Moneyball stopped right in its tracks

We better have a good inning here and put up a fight. Last inning was pathetic.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Terrible game. Had plenty of chances. Tejada double clutches a routine ground ball that allowed the go ahead run to score. Darnaud strikes out three times looking clueless. Wasted that first inning. Better regroup and take tomorrow.

Strasburg byke!?

Vintage Stras tonight. Ever since that first DL trip he took he's looked great. Hope he can stay healthy.

Idk why, but this cracked me up. BTW, you watching the O's game? Gary Thorne just had a pretty bad slip up

 

[johnnyredstorm]

What did Thorne say? I'm watching on the MLB Network.

 

[nomnom]

Calls Pujols ******ed instead of retired LOL

 

[johnnyredstorm]

damn Walt Clyde Frazier did something similar this year as well.

Mark Zuckerman @ZuckermanCSN
Strasburg's last 4 starts: 3-0, 1.19 ERA, 30 K, 4 BB.

Hope he keeps it up, would be a big boost with Fister being **** this year.

 

[awwsome]

He just gotta stay healthy, he was already rounding into form before his last trip to the DL.

He supposed to be out here being a young ace with Archer/Sale/DeGrom/MadBum/Cole/Jose.


Nats have had the worst injury luck this year.

Strangely enough, we played better without Rendon, Werth, and Zimmerman. Span is the key player we're missing. 35-24 with him, 7 games under .500 without him. Doubtful he's coming back this season.

Span hitting before Bryce was too easy early in the season.

Donaldson already went yard.
