it begins

[ARCubsFan]

What a swell start

[UMFan83]

I'm surprised Heyward didn't run into the dugout, take a curtain call, and then run back on the field

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS haven't scored a 1st inning run since...........

So your positivity kick lasted all of 2 AB's.

Thats....not good. Yikes.

[Ski]

I like that Kruk's advice to avoid K's is to decide to not K.

The Cubs then win 22 out of their next 25 games after deciding to not lose.

[Sammy Sofa]

Great AB's by Rizzo and Montero.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 37-26 (.587) when they draw 2 or more walks.... 2-8 (.200) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammy Sofa]

[expletive]. That first pitch was probably the best one Starlin is gonna see.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 14-3 (.824) when they score in the first inning.... 25-31 (.446) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Butterscup1679666578]

sweet call blue

[Gilby]

Hm, usually don't get the call when you miss your spot by that much (and when it curves around the plate).

[Sammy Sofa]

Go step on a broken bottle, ump.

[ARCubsFan]

That’s my 71 wRC+ shortstop

[Sammy Sofa]

Tasty defense

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Wong has the dumbest stance ever

[Sammy Sofa]

That’s my 71 wRC+ shortstop

 

No, that was a shitty call by the umpire, you rank turd of a Cardinals fan. We get that you hate the guy.

[Ski]

I just don't expect the Cubs to get hits with RISP anymore. It's a bonus whenever it happens.

 

The shitty strike zone all year hasn't helped matters either.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Carpenter has the dumbest face ever

[Sammy Sofa]

Well, at least he's consistently bad so far.

[Fred Hornkohl]

How 'bout that. Our pitcher gets the outside corner, too !!!

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Peralta has the dumbest first name ever

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 32-22 (.593) when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 7-12 (.368) when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammy Sofa]

Hey, that was nice and quick. Can you dum-dums actually score some runs now?
