9/8 Cubs (Hammel) @ Cardinals (Wacha) 7:15 PM CST, CSN

[Sammy Sofa]

I've never seen a crowd so furious about a pitching coach mound visit

Yadi goes to the mound at least 10 times a game

 

Which you know, because you watch every Cardinals game.

[Little Slide Rooter]

We're not getting out of this with the lead, are we?

[PrimeTime]

[expletive] Strop get the [expletive] out of the game. Jesus christ

[ARCubsFan]

Wasting Grimm looks pretty bad now

[Guancous]

Just getting back from the Nationals/Mets game. It feels so strange to be comfortable with a Cubs lead.

 

Nats fans emitted a harsh buzz while up 6. Can't wait for the vibes in Wrigley this October.

[treebird]

you fuckin guys in this gam thread got way too cocky.

 

it's still the cardinals.

[TruffleShuffle]

Ski, ARCubsFan and Rondon Fan already have their meltdown posts typed out here, just in case.

[PrimeTime]

Not cool, guys. Totally not cool.

[rocket]

this Cruz jabroni is going to have a big hit isn't he

[snoodmonger]

Rodney vs Grichuk = we're down going into the 8th

[BigSlick]

I saw it was 8-0 and I was like "cool" and now I'm mad they gave up runs

[PrimeTime]

Strop I swear shits his pants when he faces the Cards

[squally1313]

3 guys left on base seems like a pretty poetic way to end this inning.

[BigSlick]

Stop the bleeding you idiots

[Guest]

now bury the slider and let's go get those runs back

[Ski]

This game doesn't matter much in the overall playoff picture, but Christ, I'd like to win this game to preserve our slim odds of overtaking the central.

 

Also, GET A [expletive] OUT. YOU'RE A MAJOR LEAGUE PITCHER.

[ARCubsFan]

Here comes the 0-2 meatball

[squally1313]

I hope Strop's strikeout celebration here makes his White Sox one look like childs play.

[Guest]

not quite, needs bite not cement mixer

 

try again

[Smack]

Is it just me or does Molina look like a palsied old drunk guy half the time?
