How do robot umps work exactly? How about without adding lots of time to the game?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 14, 2015 -> 11:12 AM) I don't remember many articles about the Sox going to the WS after we swept the ALDS in 2005. Hell, World Series talk didn't really start until after game 4 of the ALCS, when it was pretty evident the Sox had the series in the bag. Yeah idk. Probably has more to do with them being so irrelevant lately whereas the sox for the most part have had a competitive team (minus last 3 years and like 2007). I guess you can say we were held at at a higher standard where winning is just expected of us?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 14, 2015 -> 11:07 AM) You'd think for a fanbase who has seen so much losing and so many postseason collapses, they would, you know, be more discrete and superstitious about all of it. Ageee. Wait to beat them first haha

The cringe-worthy thing about reading many posts on here, is that if the sox ever go back to the playoffs, people on here would be making excuses for the the people that are being accused of being bandwagoners. If someone is happy about their team winning, than who cares? Do we have nothing better or important to worry about than people being happy over a team winning? In the end, who cares its just a game. It's not like they're the first team to ever have bandwagon fans. Literally every team in the postseason does.

QUOTE (Coach @ Oct 14, 2015 -> 07:37 AM) I have only watched the Cubs-Carddnals series. I have seen so many bad calls for strikes clearly out of the zone. Anyone see the other games to comment? Watching other games, the zone has been bad all over.

Didn't mean to make three posts. Internet was acting up. Can a mod delete 2 of the threads?

A 3B from Korea may be posted this off-season. Since there are basically no free agents at third this off-season (unless they sign someone like Freese in hope of him breaking out/bouncing back at a cheap cost) and the only way I see us upgrading it is by moving Q or other valuable pieces (prospects: few good ones we have), I think he can be an interesting option since it would only cost money. And looking at the numbers our 3B put up this year, he could probably do better than that. I would expect him to sign for about Kang money if he I'd posted.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 07:13 PM) Here come the text messages.... Beating the cards was so satisfying, we rule, and once again John, your sox suck. I know they suck. Shut up. I'm glad I don't deal with douche Cubs fans. My friends are mostly cubs fans but are pretty cool about it.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 07:09 PM) Is that a spinoff of Boy Meets World? Yes.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 13, 2015 -> 07:07 PM) Best show on network tv right now. Cool. I'll have to check it out. Thanks.

Is that Muppets show really good?

Article also mentioned a Korean 3B. Now I know many international players do not adjust but he'd have to be better than what we've had the past few years. Maybe he can be had at Kang money? Edit: the name is Jae-gyun Hwang

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 08:44 PM) He's a famous fan. Huge twitter following. Doubt he paid for those Story I heard was that he is just a guy with a s***load of money and just goes to all the playoff series for baseball and basketball every year.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 08:40 PM) True but this was not the Jake gem cubs fans promised. Cards do or die tue. Was still basically penciled in as a win. Stay patient and take the next 2 cards.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 08:32 PM) I wonder if reporters will ask Cub fans who are running all over Wrigleyville if they have waited for this win their whole lives? lol completely ignoring 2003.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 08:19 PM) Oh right, I didn't count the douche part. That and 1. It's over (this game) and 2. Sox suck (no one needs to tell us that our team sucks. We know).

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 07:22 PM) I have more confidence in the Cards' bullpen. Me too.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 06:07 PM) Arrived doesn't look good. The Cardinals have to capitalize on this. Yeah don't bail him out again.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 05:43 PM) The ridiculous part of this is Schwarber and Soler are doing great now after being complete non-factors the last 2 months of the season. Reminds me of a lot of our guys in 05 actually.

Really thought Molina was going to make it close than it was. It really wasn't at all.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 05:27 PM) Arrieta getting a huge zone so far, yay I don't think the tbs zone is accurate. Every playoff game has had a huge zone so far.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 05:23 PM) Got out of that jam. Yep. They said it was a mistake by Soler but nothing he could even do. He was just leading off with the ball hit to the short stop who was shifted right at second.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 12, 2015 -> 04:30 PM) So the series is best of 3 now? Even with a loss tonight I think if the Cards win Game 4 they'll win the series. I understand. Just my opinion is all just as you have yours. Would just feel better with Cards at 2-0 right now.

Every game Arrieta pitches feels like an automatic win. The Cards needed to win Saturday. Still gotta play the game obviously. Doesn't bode well that Wacha was awful in September and the Cubs lineup's career average is over .330 against him. I think winner of this game will take the series (though Cubs loss would be zatisfying).
