Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

The season is still going on? Yeesh. End already so we can get to the good stuff.

[bukie]

On the plus side, the Cubs can be the victims of their third postseason clinching celebration in a week.

[Fred Hornkohl]

I recall back in '63 as the CUBS were finishing their first winning (82-80) season in 17 years, they got a visit from the 2nd place Cardinals right about this time. The CUBS managed to hang a 6-3 loss on the Cardinals and Bob Gibson, knocking the Cardinals out of the pennant race, and the Tribune ran a headline...... "CUBS WIN PENNANT..... FOR DODGERS"

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Travis Wood will only pitch one inning today and then will be pulled (the 1 IP is to get him to 200 on the season).

A bunch of the beat writers tweeted it about an hour ago.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

That's quite possibly the weirdest thing ever.

[SouthSideRyan]

I hope Molina steps on a landmine.

 

ETA: And then is buried on one.

[Schwarber Fan]

I'm sure telling Wood he was going one inning had NOTHING to do with why he was awful in it.

 

What a joke.

[davell]

What a joke.

Or maybe he choked because he knew he'd finish with a sub-3 ERA.

What a joke.

 

I mean unless Bogusevic caught a catchable ball for a 1-2-3 inning

[Gilby]

I like Raley as a potential LOOGY more than Rosscup. A lot more, actually.

[DiamondMind]

He's better at announcing than governing.

[Gilby]

Take that, Deadspin.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Only 141 more days 'til pitchers and catchers report !!

[Schwarber Fan]

wow, Rich Hill is on the Indians now?

[Gilby]

Rondon is throwing some serious gas right now. No fastballs below 97 mph with lots of 98 and touched 99.

Guess he just needed more time to recover from surgery. What a concept.

[sneakypower]

Schierholtz has a .268 OBP since the break...i don't know why he absolutely has to play every game vs. RHP

[gscool89]

Another series, another celebration

Who else should play?
