4/24 stupid cubs (samardzija) @ reds (latos) 1135am csn&mlbn

[treebird]

welcome to game thread i am treymon

 

cubs won the game yesterday but do not expect the same today cubs will lose the game

 

potential game highlights include samardzija pitching really well for the first four innings and leftover nachos fixins

 

potential game thread highlights include hilarious predictions about bad things happening to the cubs and if mojo does the michael shannon picture thing again

[Sammy Sofa]

Done and done.

I still smell a streak. I've checked my shorts and it wasn't the Mexican food.

[Sammy Sofa]

OK, so apparently Michael Shannon's dad was a professor at DePaul and he was raised in Chicago. If he's a Cubs fan and we can find a picture of him with Cubs gear, well...I think you all know what will happen.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

They've managed to avoid a five game losing streak so far. Not bad, Cubs.

[davell]

From the "holy [expletive] we suck" factoid bin: With less than 2 outs and a runner on third, we've scored the guy 8 times out of 28. The league average is 52%.

[UMFan83]

Come on first 2 game winning streak of the season!

[Schwarber Fan]

Looks like they'll start under a delay but should be able to get the game in after a few hours.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I never did get around to making Mexican food last night so tonight I hope to settle for walking tacos at the park I'll be visiting.

The community is buzzing with talk and other things about the coming Cubs winning streak.

 

Not knowing the outcome of yesterday's game, I decided to peruse the game thread, as it's always the internet's top source of real-time Cubs analysis and opinion. Somewhat reminiscent of trying to piece together that jumble of half-images and misremembered events of a summer's day at the bleachers that got off to a fast and early start and quickly went way out of hand.

 

GO CUBS!!

[haubrich91]

Game won't start on time. Boo.

You didn't know the outcome of the game so your first choice was to go find the game thread on here? That doesn't seem very smart.

First pitch now scheduled for 12:15 CST

 

ETA: Aaaaand now it's not, according to Muskat

[Smack]

1300 central now I think

Stop making me think so hard.

 

So 2pm my time, okay. \:D/

[GammonsPocketTweets]

Please don't use military time.

Meanwhile, here are some leftover nachos fixins for your viewing pleasure.

Borbon needed better aim on that shot back at Latos.

[haubrich91]

If Choo and Aoki were on the same team, we'd never record an out.
