The argument isn't about whether it's smart or not. If you're gonna do the lame roll your eyes thing at least read the post.

The Cubs might be the best baseball team of all time. They probably are through the first 30 games. That wasn't insincere. This team should be good enough to not have to resort to that shit. You don't see Golden State going hack a Jordan on the Clippers. They don't need to. The Rockets will though.

Baseball is a much more cerebral game than basketball.

Apparently not. Just deny the other team's best player a chance to do anything. :lol:

I hope you guys are trolling. Otherwise, you're basically advocating not trying to win.

Cubs can't win if they pitch to Harper? It's just a bitch move. It's funny you guys would try to deny that.

You can't be serious. I think you need to stay out of Cub business.

You play to win the game. Are you saying if they'd pitched to Harper they would've won by now?

Tell me to stay out of Cub business and the very next line asking me a question about Cub business. I think you need a nap.

Cubs may have won by now, maybe not. Maybe Harper doesn't score that run and gets out and the Cub win 3-2. Either way, that's not the point. Walking a guy every time he is up is lame as hell, just like sending DeAndre Jordan to the FT line 24 times in one quarter is lame as hell. The "trying to win" shit is a dumb canard. There's many ways to win that don't involve dumb shit like that. Especially for the best baseball team of all time.

The 'Cub business' was a play on your guy Kenny. I get a laugh out of Sock fans finding the need to comment on my team. Carry on.

The season is young. I suspect the best is yet to come.

That's funny. In the box score they gave him the opportunity to score by giving him first base seven times. I'll happily take that for rizzo or Bryant. Get some better thoughts.

They owed one to Arrieta. Good to see them pick him up when he needed it.

If you don't like a guy in the lineup getting walked every time he goes to the plate, get him some fucking protection.

Very true. Jake wasn't good today. He gave up 3 runs through 5, just awful. :lol:

Hearing my brother tell it, I would have thought he gave up 8 runs and got ran out of the game after a couple innings. :lol:

How am I supposed to do that? It's not that dumb. See RPB's post. It's just lame for the sport when the best dude gets walked every time.

Well, it's not like he was bad, but he rarely leaves the game on the hook for the L. Was glad to see them get him off the hook.

You don't have to like it, but to play this "bitch move" card is utterly stupid. Your displeasure is misguided at the wrong team.

Oh Reason.

FF isn't a Cubs fan so he's looking at it from the perspective of a baseball fan. He didn't like it. You seem to agree.

Why the hostility?
