THIS IS FUN

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 9-1 (.900) when they score 9 runs or more.... 61-50 (.550) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

it would be really awesome if, assuming we win today, we can manage to go 29-11 the rest of the way

 

know why?

 

First time since 1935, eh?

100 wins isn't enough for me.

[Gilby]

Bryant might have had more dongs taken away by the wind than anyone other than Coghlan. So his second wind-blown basket shot of the week was deserved.

Is that the Cards game when we blew a 4-run lead?

remember that frustrating ass game very well

 

5-0 lead in the first

 

cardinals offense magically pulls 10 runs out of its ass when they gives up 9

 

[expletive] cheaters. i don't know what they're doing but i know they're doing it.

5 runs I think. They followed up our 5 with 4 in the bottom half. Reynolds grand slam??? I think.

just trying to have modest expectations

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Remember, like a week ago, when people seriously thought that Matt Duffy might beat out Bryant for Rookie of the Year?

jake johnson apparently missed 2008

I was about to say if Schwarber keeps up this pace through September it would not shock me one bit if he wins it. And the narrative that the Cubs turned into an offensive powerhouse upon his arrival into the everyday lineup will only help further his cause to the meatbally voters.

i thought "jake johnson knows a surprising amount about the cubs for one of these celebrity cubs fans"

 

then he said "oh i'd love to see mike olt back up here"

Why not? Olt is a power bat that can rake against lefties. Nobody is asking for him to start but off the bench he can be useful in the right spots.

[Gilby]

Schwarber's awesome, but I don't think he'll finish ahead of Kang, Duffy, or Syndergaard, let alone Bryant. Guys don't come up in late July fulltime to win ROY in a loaded rookie class. Unless Bryant goes in a huge slump, it's his.

I had the same exact reaction.

Bryant has same WAR as Andrew McCutchen now
