I’m surprised a lawsuit hasn’t been brought against a team and MLB before.

I can’t tell you what to do, but if you tune in at 4pm CST, you’ll likely be missing a couple innings of Quintana getting smacked around.
according to MLB.com, Game starts at 4pm ET, 3pm CST

sharpchicity,
Thanks. I knew it was 3, but my brain was too stupid to convert eastern to central.
dmick89Quote Reply
Hopefully today Maddon will allow his lefty specialists to face left handed hitters. Otherwise, why have them on the playoff roster? Edwards should never be allowed to face Harper or Murphy.

Trump says that Pence leaving the game yesterday wasn’t a stunt. if that’s true, Mike Pence is dumber than I thought he was. Did it never occur to him that some players would take a knee during the anthem? Is he the only person in the world who wasn’t aware this was happening?
dmick89Quote Reply
dmick89,
He was shocked, shocked, to find out that kneeling was going on.
EdwinQuote Reply
How is kneeling during the anthem disrespectful? Is someone else kneeling during the anthem keeping others from enjoying it or showing their own feelings for the anthem or something?
EdwinQuote Reply
Edwin,
Booing the players who are silently kneeling is far more disrespectful.

It’s been kind of funny hearing Pat Hughes toning down his Pat Hughes-ness to pitch for this commemorative bat company.

Just wait till these people who are so offended by kneeling players find out that there are memorials and statues all throughout a large portion of this country that honor Confederate soldiers and generals who fought to overthrow America, or that there are people who proudly display the Confederate flag. Man they’ll probably be so offended.
EdwinQuote Reply
There are people in this country being discriminated against due to their relgious belief, or due to the color of their skin, or their gender, or their sexual orientation. I find that way more offensive to the American values men and women have died to protect than someone kneeling during the playing of the anthem.

I just saw an ad on Twitter for “Pork you want to fork”. WTF does that mean? Is fork supposed to be stand in for another 4 letter word that starts with f? Because that really doesn’t seem to work in that context, and I’d assume having that kind of interaction with food would be frowned upon by most of polite society.
EdwinQuote Reply
Edwin,
As long as it’s not a fork you want to pork (because that could be dangerous), I won’t judge you.

The worry is always that it’s a slippery slope, you start with forks, and then move on to other cutlery, where does it stop? God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Wusthof.

How deep was Rendon’s flyout? Gameday makes it look like the pitch was right down the middle of the plate. Cubs living dangerously.

Probably a double without Heyward out there.

Why did Zim get a hittable pitch? There were two outs and first base was open.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Joe will double down on pulling Q.
“Absolutely the right move .”
North Side PatQuote Reply
North Side Pat,
He should have pinch-hit for him last inning.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Can’t really say the Cubs should have won this one like the previous game. They’ve sucked. Quintana was good, but he was a little lucky and the defense has sucked as much as the offense.
dmick89Quote Reply
Letting Q face Zimmerman a third time would have been a terrible move. I’m not annoyed about the pull. I am pissed of about the fastball down the middle that Strop threw to Zimmerman, though.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
I’m okay with taking Quintana out there. It was the right call. Strop just has no clue where anything is going once it leaves his hand.
dmick89Quote Reply
Think how good a hitter Jay would be if he had even a little power.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Don’t hit into a double play, Rizzo.

If they can just cut that in half the rest of the way, they should be in good shape.

Winning without being no-hit through six innings would be nice too.
berseliusQuote Reply
A great win.
But this color announcer is about as competent as Donald Trump in his current position*. He called Edwards Jr Crawford earlier in the game. Because his name is Carl? Ernie just stayed silent, probably thinking—this guy is clueless.

I would be okay with being no-hit through six and then scoring 20 in the seventh. Sounds pretty great actually. (dying laughing)

Rizzo the Rat,
It wasn’t that close once the Cubs went up 3-0, but you’re crazy if you think 0-0 in the 6th or 1-0 after the 6th isn’t a close game. What is? 0.25 runs to 0.15 runs after 8?

after firing off two curveballs, trevor bauer hit the corner with a 99mph fastball. Aaron Judge clocked it for a 2 run double. WTF.
