Go CUBS !!

Cubs can still finish with a winning record at home.

[NOLA]

Cubs can still finish with a winning record at home.

Cubs can kick the Cards down to a one game Wild Card vs the Giants. This is my main rooting interest.

[bukie]

One other thing, San Diego's recent hot streak has now guaranteed the Cubs can finish with no worse than the 11th pick, which is protected.

That walk seemed to piss Arrieta off.

[Guest]

Arrieta is disgusting

[UMFan83]

Baez has struck out at least once in 32 of his last 33 games

Let's talk about how Soler is so handsome instead.

[DiamondMind]

Arrieta, wow.

[Guest]

lol this dork picked the wrong year to go to every game

 

but then again i guess he'll have a much easier time selling them going forward than he would've this year

[Sammy Sofa]

Arrieta is a joy to watch.

Baez makes me sad.

[gscool89]

Javy sucks so bad lol

[Sammy Sofa]

He steps to the plate

The wind washes over us

Something wails sadly

[Elwood]

Javi's strikeouts are all part of the process.

 

Right?

[Sammy Sofa]

Yes.

 

Fresh start next year.

[Sammy Sofa]

Meanwhile Soler remains the dreamiest person on the team.
