8/16 Cubs (Haren) @ white sox (Sale) - 1:10 PM WGN/CSN

[Irrelevant Dude]

I'm thrilled to have won 9 games in a row, but if we lose and the Pirates win today, we'll have gained all of one game on them in a stretch of 9 out of 10 wins.

That is a bit frustrating, but another way to think about it is every day that goes by without losing ground to the Giants is one fewer day for them to catch us.

[Sammys Boombox]

It's like some people don't realize it's ok to still be really happy with the Cubs while also lamenting that it sucks to be stuck in the most difficult division in baseball by a wide margin.

[DiamondMind]

My God, you're all just a pile of quivering scum.

 

When people aren't happy about winning 9 in a row I don't know what to say either

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Pirates up early on Harvey. Obviously.

 

Who cares - if we keep playing like this, everything will take care of itself man.

 

We're not going to keep playing like this.

 

And we have like 3 teams we want to lose, so it'd be nice if some of them were doing it now.

 

Exactly. I'm thrilled to have won 9 games in a row, but if we lose and the Pirates win today, we'll have gained all of one game on them in a stretch of 9 out of 10 wins.

 

So the Cubs still have their WC spot.

 

ARE YOU NEVER PLEASED.

 

Yeah, I'm looking at this really differently. This streak helped position the Cubs to make the playoffs, where as before we were behind in the race.

 

Just give me the postseason.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Just give me the postseason.

And if the Pirates keep playing well, good. I would much rather see them in a one-game playoff than the Giants, home field advantage or not.

And trembling before Sale like he's some kind of unbeatable monster instead of a lanky dork throwing the ball like he's actively trying to tear his torso in half. they got this.

It's fine but the constant complaining every time a team were competing against scores a run and it's only mid-August is a bit strange

And when the run is scored in like the top of the first.

[Careless]

oh, come on Castro

[imb]

The left field bleachers do not like Castro

Back in the doghouse you go.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Oh no.

[Schwarber Fan]

Go away Castro.

[NotSoSober]

that's inexcusable

[Fred Hornkohl]

It's not strange at all, in fact, it's pretty much business as usual at NSBB.

[Andy]

Wow, Starlin

[rocket]

I'm really beginning to hate the Castro

[Guest]

Go the [expletive] away starlin Castro

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Let's get Utley.

[halplm]

An error! We're doomed! Season over! Why can't the Cubs ever be good???

Point taken

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 24-29 (.453) when they commit one or more errors.... 43-19 (.694) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
