Quote HistoryQuoted:
............ Yeah in the last TEN years we've gotten...Rich Gossage and Bruce Sutter. John Smoltz too, but he spent most of his career as a starter. And those two got in because they were earlier closers that made it to 300 saves. Rivera pitched for 19 years. 19! Probably what let him pitch that long was he wasn't the flamethrower many other closers were. Chapman has pitched for 7, and thrown less than 1/3 the innings. Chapman has thrown 12 postseason games, with pedestrian stats by his standards. Rivera threw 96 games of being one of the most dominant relieving performances. You can probably give Chapman a slight leg up because he strikes out so many people, but it'll still take probably another 10 years of sustaining his current dominance to get to that level. Do you think his arm will hold up throwing 105 for the next 10 years? I don't. Riveras cutter put way less stress on his arm than throwing 105, and it was unhittable. Chapman has good secondary pitches, but they're not great, and when he loses a few mph, he will be a lot more hittable. We'll see, but I find it very unlikely that he can maintain this dominance to get into the HoF. Thanks for the info on Chapman.........I haven't been following him for all the years he has been playing. Good point on 100+ mph for another 5-10 years..........that does seem not very probable now that I think about it. Rivera was an anomaly to me...........one real effective pitch was enough even though the major league hitters knew it was coming. It was surreal. |

A WS win would mean more to him than I could imagine. My entire family lives in/around the city. I was born there. I've been to more Cubs (and Sox/Bears/Bulls) games than I can count growing up.

If we cant win 1 game in our home park with Hendricks and Arietta line up on normal rest, we don't deserve to win. Kershaw's lifetime post season record in 4-6, with a 4.39 ERA. With good at bats and a little Cubbie luck, Kershaw is "gettable" in big games. Even if Kershaw shuts them down, NO WAY Rich Hill beats them twice in a series. NO WAY. Book it.

My grandfather stuck me with the Cubs. I would spend a few weeks with him during the summers and they had cable. Almost every day he would sit down with a Budweiser and watch the Cubs play. When we finally got cable at home, WGN made sure I was a Cubs fan. I remember the rainout in 88. The 89 pennant race and NLCS. I was hooked.
Funny thing is, grandpaw wasn't even a Cubs man. He just liked watching baseball. He was a Phillies man. One of my most cherished memories with him is watching the 04 ALCS with him, before he was too far gone with Parkinson's. I am hoping that Sammy Kershaw's kid is off Saturday night. . Rizzo and Russell have finally decided to hit. And that's a good thing.

I don't really care how many touchdowns or goals the DesMoines Cubs make.
With that being said, due to my limited understanding of all things that involve pucks, balls, birdies, goals, goal posts, nets and big green walls, I do have to say that being in the "red zone" of a certain Boston team, I indeed feel your pain. As a fellow that has survived the agonizing local pain of a certain ball team that failed to live up to their fans expectations for so many decades, I will, with my admitted limited understanding of what constitutes a touchdown, a slider or a hat trick, will indeed be rooting for your club which seems to be based out of either DesMoines or Chicago. Go Illinois or Iowa or wherever.... Cubs. I hope you score many goals in your effort to secure the vaunted title of Stanley Cup or whatever it is you are seeking. You may count me as but one of your loyal and ardent fans. |
