8/27 Cubs (Turner) @ Reds (Latos) 6:10 pm CT CSN

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

ahhhhh I missed it

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm starting to look at the standings and think "If we hadn't assumed the season was wasted from the beginning, what could have happened..."

how about if jose veras hadn't [expletive] up a bunch of games for us?

Bring Bryant up and help someone else collapse so we can get a WC spot.

 

22-9 would get us to 81 wins. I stupidly feel like that isn't impossible.

[George Hayduke]

God, this is just so great! Such good things coming!

padres fan friend of mine tweeted this

 

 

Reminder that all of the Cubs prospects are cooler and better than anything on the Padres.

[Guest]

Oh man.

[Sammy Sofa]

I turned on the TV literally about 10 seconds before he hit it out.

 

I have only now regained the use of my faculties.

[sneakypower]

this feels like a good time to check that BP list again to see who are the 50 prospects better than Soler

[chuckywang]

Castro, Baez and Soler all hit HRs in their MLB debuts.

 

Bryant, you're next.

[HendryWallet]

Hell yes. Watch Latos throw at him next AB

Especially Rizzo.

[Banedon]

All Cubs should debut in Cincy. Always.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I've been sick the last two days the moment Soler hit that I jumped out of my couch and my body has regained a little life!!

Can't believe we got him from the Padres for Cashner

[Derwood]

Coghlan is so bad at defense.
