8/29 CUBS (Hendricks) @ Cardinals (Miller) 7:15PM WGN

[mul21]

I need to see the Cards announcers call that 2nd Soler homer

 

They were shockingly complimentary and wowed by how far he hit it. No douchiness at all.

[Castros trade value]

Just because it's fun to type this:

 

The Cubs beat the Cardinals tonight because of Soler, Baez and Alcantara.

 

And that Hendricks guy.

Adding Bryant, Rivero, Vizcaino, half seasons of Russell, Edwards, Johnson, and ~$50m worth of FAs to this team next year makes me really really really excited.

And maybe 1/2-1/4 of a season from the Schwarbs

I believe it. That's one you admire no matter who you're a fan of.

I could see him coming up towards the end of the year if he's flopping dongs all over the place and we're in a tight race.

I'm surprised Mozeliak doesn't have a bigger tv.

Yeah, that makes us look like assholes. Wait till next year when we're six games in front of them before we troll them.

Don't care. I live here and have to deal with their clown asses all the time. I'm giving them everything I've got until it's not fun anymore and they all cry in their beers.

[mul21]

Also, Hrabosky just said the rookies are playing over their heads. He's got another thing coming.

[Sammy Sofa]

Soler is all of my baseball dreams personified. All hail giant dongs.

[davell]

Manny is done for the year. He's gone home to prepare for winter ball. Hoyer was very complimentary of him, but they don't know if he's coming back next year or not. Certainly seemed like they want him to though.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Petition to change my username to Donglover, although I promise to give it back if Childish Gambino is a Cubs fan.

Agreed. Couldn't have a better mentor for our young guns.

What do we do with Russell then?

 

Ohh right.

we still have bryant to come lmfao

 

and russell

 

and schwarber

 

and another likely top 10 pick in june ahahahaha

 

who are you kidding?

 

Only 3 games out of picking 11th

Lester. There is already a lot of smoke out there surrounding a potential deal. You're going to have to overpay for a FA pitcher anyway, and if the Cubs end up with an unprotected pick, then I could see them extending farther for him. The value of the pick would supersede the few extra million per year for Lester being a "non-compensation" signing.

We put him at SS.

[weis21]

seeing them be even a little nervous about us is fun

I started reading this (NSBB) thread after watching the game. When I came to this post I read the entire gateway thread. I think I enjoyed it as much as this thread. All the posters essentially came to their knees and acknowledged the Cubs future awesomeness after Soler's ungodly second dong.

It may be the bourbon talking right now, but if you could have 5 guys (Stanton, Rizzo, Baez, Soler, and Bryant) who can hit 40 homers and another guy (Schwarber) hit 30 homers, it would be the most potent lineup... ever? Add in a 200 hit guy (Castro) and a potential 20 homer CF (Konami), and things just get silly.
