9/16 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Pirates (Burnett) 6:05 CDT, CSN

[Gilby]

I think it's kind of annoying when people come into game threads and show off how little they care about games, but I'm going to kind of do that here, so excuse me. But I'm kind of surprised how amped up Cubs fandom is over this series. I mean, sure, winning is cool and home field would be cool, but we're in, man. As ridiculous as the PNC dimensions are, playing for what stadium will be hosting the wild card game isn't enough to get me nervous, or enough for me to care much if we lose this.

[Cubswin11]

Holy [expletive] Denorfia got a hit off of Worley, minimum 5 runs this inning

[Ski]

Alright, Worley in. Fire the whole offense if we don't score here.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

There we go. Let's do this [expletive] now.

[UMFan83]

This is going to be the most annoying loss of the season

 

not even remotely [expletive] close

 

not even a little bit remotely [expletive] close

As far as most annoying losses of the season goes, that has to be the Peralta HR game.

 

As far as tiny annoying [expletive] building up over the course of the entire game, I would say this is up there.

 

still not close

 

hell, off the top of my head, the goldschmidt game was insanely annoying BEFORE we gave up a 2 out 2 run walkoff HR with a one run lead

 

Uhhh I think you mean the Nick Ahmed game

Berry's biggest moment as a Cub coming.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Finally we get Quintin in this spot. I've been waiting for this.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

This inning will define your career as a Cub, Berry. No pressure.

If the Cubs end up hosting a playoff game, tell us how tense the crowd was.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Since he has like a 96 percent steal success, if he's caught this will for sure confirm to Ski that this was the most annoying game of the season.

[kujay]

Who the [expletive] is Berry? I feel like I keep up with things. Guess not.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Woooow, that blows.

[Cubswin11]

Berry is a base stealing savant, don't [expletive] bunt

[ARCubsFan]

STOP BUNTING

[UMFan83]

Wtf why is he bunting? Hit and run if you have to but there is no reason to give up an out here

[rocket]

[Bryants Disco Ball]

[Guest]

[Gilby]

Who the [expletive] is Berry? I feel like I keep up with things. Guess not.

 

He was the Tigers' version of Dave Roberts for a few years.

He's our Dave Roberts.

[Ski]

Nice read by Berry.
