they end up with the best road record in the majors too, which is encouraging entering the postseason.

Even the Cubs don't like going to Wrigley.

How many pitchers have gone 16-7, 2.16 ERA, lead the league in strikes outs with 294, lead the league in innings pitched, complete games, shut outs, strike outs per 9...
and finished 3rd in Cy Young voting?
Sorry Clatyon
and sucks to be Greinke/Arrietta (whoever doesnt get it)
My moneys on Greinke winning it, in one of the closest votes ever

damn I had that game on earlier too! I know he always wanted to do it in a big league game
Just watched video of it, was consistently at 88 with his fastball. Thats pretty damn good for a 41 year old non pitcher really. I swore Ive heard a few people say his arm isnt what it used to be.
He actually pitched in an allstar game in Japan once
Greinkes months of May/June are gonna hurt him, when he went 0-2 over a 10 game stretch only given up like 12 runs because the Dodgers couldnt score a run.
I kind of want to be in Illinois when the Cubs finally win. Not necessarily on the north side of Chicago. That seems dangerous (a la someone died in Boston 2004). But maybe out in like Peoria or something.

I don't really root for teams besides the Sox, but I will be watching most games hoping for competitive, fun games. Oh, and I'll be hate-watching the Yankees.

Peoria? I don't think I've ever heard anybody say they wanted to be in Peoria for any reason.

Peoria holds a special place in my heart because it is the hometown of Jim Thome.

meh. I was a Yankees fan and I may be again someday. I still hate the Red Sox. I'm more of a general baseball fan right now. Riding the Royals bandwagon for a while.

I've been feeling uncomfortable since my last post in this thread. I am a Yankees fan. A-Rod's face just makes me upset.
