This team is so [expletive] awesome.

[davell]

Beating those fuckwads in a Wacha vs Bullpen game without Rondon and them having complete red ass heading into it is flat out magnificent.

[Guest]

I can also appreciate that the Cubs used basically every pen arm except Rondon and still won.

 

but they did sorta use rondon

[Sammy Sofa]

strop's celebration is going to be epic

 

 

did not disappoint

 

I'm so pissed I can't see it. Describe the glory.

 

Some guy hit a ball that had a trail of fire behind it. It looked sure to blaze right through Fowler's chest and to the wall for an inside-the-park home run. Then, suddenly, the skies parted and a dong descended from heaven. And verily, as the prophecies had foretold, it was not a dong of bat, but a dong of glove. Streaking through the sky, Addison Russell snatched the ball of fire from the air. As the runner was a step away from second base, Addison transferred the ball from his glove to his hand, using only the power of love. The ball was flipped to Javier Baez, who stretched out his arm, stretched it to the length of 7 mighty men. The flip was in time. The Cubs were victorious.

 

Is that too long to have tattooed to my back?

The Cubs have played at a 106 win pace since the All Star break.

Yep, to intentionally hit feared slugger Greg Garcia.

I think glove-dong is the next big sabr stat.

EDIT: Oh, you were talking about Strop's celebration. That was good, too.

You are a non-hermetic, male Dickinson.

I'm watching the highlights of the game and the HBP's totally look like the Cardinal players are leaning in to inside pitches.

excellent work with your past few posts. but then again most of your posts are always A+

Maybe Dusty was right about something. A player can drive in runs with his glove.

[badger1679666666]

Scrubmd is almost as amazing as this team

[itisallpartoftheplan]

5 GB will be the closest(at the end of play for each day) we've been since the end of June 1st.

[Sosa21MVP]

I really want to see Maddon's post-game presser.

i felt like we got closer than that last week but i guess that was when i had a win penciled in in my head last saturday

[ConstableRabbit]

That is the most amped up I've been at a game in a long time.

We were at 5 and in position to make it 4.5 before the craziness in the Phillies game took over. So we ended the day 5.5 out.

La Stella's RBI the difference as Cahill gets the win over Wacha.

 

Who predicted the headline a few months ago??

Well, now he's just being cruel, what with his fancy book-learnin' words and whatnot.

[Brian]

mainly because I don't care about it, but since I took a photo of the marquee saying Cubs Clinch in 2008, that has been my Facebook cover photo... just changed it to this beauty
