Sounds like yet again, Deano has proven himself to be smarter than everyone else.

Rounder

Great playing this season by Crosby. Absolutely lighting the score sheet on fire with one Shot in two games. *slow clap*

Yumcha

Just 2 games.


The only true surprise perhaps are the Yotes since I saw them as a tanking team.

Rounder

they score 1 goal on arguably the worst starter in the league...

black label

Clearly you haven't been paying attention.... Max Domi plays for the yotes.

Yumcha

He's not Finlandian or a King...so, don't overrate him.

black label

Tags homie, tags. Get with the future

Yumcha

I am. Only if he's a King or Finlandian. Like how I was taught in this thread.

Fibonacci

Please tell domcha he's doing it wrong.


Fixed

dom

Babs is doing what he must. Drive this team to the bottom of the standings. Not that they needed to spend 50 million on Babs for that. But it is what it is.

Yumcha

So, dom...you nervous about the Jays in Game 5 today?

dom

No.


















Cause they play game 5 tomorrow.

Yumcha

Goes to show how much I care about the bandwagon-hype the Jays are on here.

Oops.

dom

Are there no band wagons in Chicago? Surely srika is now the biggest Cubs fan EVAR!

Yumcha

Mebbe he only cares if they are in the World Series.



I'm the sucker here and continue to be strung along by them and know the other shoe will drop soon.

Why? Cuz, it's the Cubs. The Leaves of baseball.

dom

Only question is, which shoe drops first. The one in Chicago or the one in Toronto. I suspect it will be the one in Toronto. Tomorrow.

IMO, it will be Cubs vs Mets with the Mets taking it. And Kansas City gets there again from the AL.

black label

Most likely.

dom

I was about to rib you about the B's but figured I needed some material. Well I found it......by looking at the East standings

Yumcha

I like the Mets pitching better. And honestly, IMO...it's all about pitching. Cubs don't have much after Arrieta and Lester. And their bullpen is suspect. Your prediction for the NL is not a bad one.

I like Houston but they aren't as deep offensively as the Royals. Call that series a toss-up and whoever wins in that series will represent the AL.

dom

Well I disagree with you that the Jays don't have good pitching. IF Price can be regular season 2.48 ERA Price he's top 5 in MLB. Stroman, could maybe be as good. We don't really know since he's only pitched 5 games this year. But most experts have him pegged as an Ace.

Estrada has been surprisingly good all year and is likely as good if not better than most #3's on other teams. And then Dickey. Not a bad #4. Bullpen isn't the best but again not bad. The loss of Cecil really hurts though. Their pitching stats in the second half have been good. Near tops in the league.

But a lot of it depends on which Price shows up.

black label

Didn't you get the memo? I pulled a and like the great Alice Cooper I'm a coyotes fan

dom

Post All -Star, the Jays have the leagues second best ERA at 3.33.

It was really a tale of 2 seasons for the Jays. Sure they hit well all year but the pitching make huge improvements post all star.

dom

Must have missed that memo.

And you don't get to change teams. You'll suffer through the losing like I have dammit.

Now off I go to Google to look for Bruin jokes.

Yumcha

I'm high on Stroman (in fact, he's one of my keepers for next year after I snagged him on waivers because he was out most of the year). He's got electric stuff. Price has historically and shown again that something about the playoffs just messes with him...he wasn't great in relief yesterday.

Dickey can be lights-out but with any knuckler, you know when it rains, it can really pour.

Bullpen is so-so. Nothing about it scares me per se. I'm not saying their pitching is horrendous but lined up against the teams still standing, I don't see them as the best one either.

Hitting is kinda like the Cubbies...alot of power but not sure enough smallball or getting on base to scratching out runs. Albeit, the Cub's 2nd game sure proved me wrong. Baseball is a very interesting sport for sure. So many nuances to it.

Yumcha

How many Finlandians are on the ex-Jets?

black label

Max Domi is the new Finland.

dom

That kid would be a absolute superstar playing in Toronto. His father is a legend here.

Hopefully he's still a Yote when they move the team to Toronto.

Yumcha

Pfft...Hawks' Russian newb, Panarin has more points.

And I'm not even hyping him.

Yumcha

But, can you imagine if Panarin was a King?!???

black label

Not sure what you mean...

Do you mean basically the same player but getting arrested for smuggling drugs over the border or do you mean basically the same player but arrested and jailed for beating his wife?

dom

Imagine if he was a BlackHawk?

black label

You'd probably have to hide you wife and kids for the obvious reasons.

Yumcha

I would. But, Hawks don't do drugs and beat wives yet. Only misunderstand no for yes.

black label

Wait a minute, he IS a black hawk.

I must have missed that memo

And there's no suffering here. I watched every major pro team in Boston win championships, most of them multiple times

Powerless play is powerless.

dom

Cabbie, we're all watching Ranger games now because we're all huge fans. We all went out and bought the Center Ice package or whatever the hell its called so we'll never miss a Ranger game. So no need for the updates anymore. We're on it. Thanks

Then start posting!

Max doesn't play for them therefor they are irrelevant, that's why we don't need the updates.
