I can't wait for this major league baseball club with four excellent hitters going against the team with the worst bullpen in baseball to score less than three runs.

 

[expletive], I'm bitter at this club. I have no expectations today. Please let good things happen.

this looks amazing

[DiamondMind]

I really thought long and hard about what food item to post to guide us to victory. I hope it works.

[Gilby]

Banuelos doesn't have the stuff he once did, nor does he have great command. I think our offense randomly explodes tonight and treats Banuelos like they did Shaun Marcum.

Didn't he get pulled his last start too for muscle cramping or something?

[Ski]

On a lighter note, go Cubs!

Post some food, it's cathartic.

[ctcf]

My inability to enjoy/care much about Lester is starting to make me feel like a meathead or something. I just can't muster any excitement about the guy.

Anyone else love Greek food?

[ctcf]

Everyone should love Greek food.

[DiamondMind]

I like Tzatziki sauce

[bhogg]

Ahhh, sitting here in my atlanta hotel contemplating the 110 degree heat combined with the offensive ineptitude of this team. .....and I want to drink!

 

Hoping for more good innings from lester and a good 6 or 7 runs from the offense!

The CUBS haven't lost a road game to the Braves on 18 July since 1889 !!

Go CUBS !!

[Boris]

It's going to be a royal spanking tonight. These bats have to get out of this slump at some point.

[Sammys Boombox]

I'm making this tonight except with real maple syrup.

2 HR in their last 9 games.

4 XBH in their last 4 games

6 runs scored in their last 4 games

 

 

They're the CUBS. This slump could last for years.... centuries even.

[DiamondMind]

Could be wrong, but I half-expect a super weird lineup for tonight.

[ctcf]

 

No super weird lineup.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

pfffffft

[DiamondMind]

we either win or lose this game 2-1

 

seeing ross in there is just depressing

[weis21]

BOOOOOO

[ctcf]

I motion to change Braves to Barves in the thread title.

I made these not long ago and it was as majestic as it looks...
