This might already be the best game thread ever. Oh [expletive], I probably jinxed it. Can't talk about the game thread while it's happening.

Makes a lot of sense. The Giants at 1.5 back are a much bigger concern for them right now.

 

A decision they'll ultimately regret.

How so?

I'm assuming he thinks the Giants are going to pass the Dodgers and the Dodgers should be worried about us and the wild card spot.

If the Giants pass them they aren't going to end up within 10 games of the Cubs.

Odd stat that caught my attention Dexter Fowler has walked between 65 and 68 times every year since 2008 except for 2010. Relatively narrow range of at bats - swing of about 65 - so makes a little sense but still kind of neat. Presumably that will change soon. (currently at 66)

because preggo has to have the tv on to fall asleep for some reason.

 

Hey! That's awesome! Congrats!

 

Thanks, about three months and change left to go, pretty surreal

 

Awesome news. I forget....is this your first?

 

and only if my morning ritual of standing in the front of the microwave for 15-20 minutes works

 

We just had our fourth (and final) a week ago Saturday. It's a ton of fun. Enjoy it

His dumbness accentuates his hotness; Cooper is just a dweeb who desperately wants to be the Anthony Bourdain of journalism.

 

no one wants to be the anthony bourdain of anything

You kidding me?!? I'd take a life of eating a drinking around the world in a heartbeat. He's my hero.

[treebird]

Congrats IMB, your life is about to change in ways you can't imagine. Welcome to the fraternity and get some sleep.

To kill the time before first pitch, what is your favorite Cubs related memory at AT&T Park?

 

Here are 3 of mine:

 

-Maddux win 300

-Soriano HR in the All Star Game

-Random game from maybe 2008 or 2009 where Lincecum was dominating the Cubs through 8 but then the bats came alive and score 2 in the 9th to win 2-1
