Favorite moment of the season.....(so far)

[davell]

Too many to bother listing them all, plus I'd forget a few......

 

I'll start though: KB walk off with Strop Gumping home with him.

When we fucksmoke STL for the 3rd time in a row in the NLDS.

 

But to this point, I think I have to go with Schwarber going ultra mega god and winning that Reds game by himself. Second place for pure entertainment value goes to the Polanco fall down walk off.

Schwarber's 2nd HR of the night in extras against the Reds.

That's probably it.

 

But just to keep the conversation going, I'll say the 9 game winning streak and more specifically, the final game of the Giants sweep. Felt like a playoff atmosphere on TV. Arrieta was great and about as nails as he's ever been at getting out of jams in that game. Rondon loaded the bases with no outs, and then went Satchel Paige and struck out the side to win it.

Schwarber's 9th inning homer to tie it in Cincinnati was the single moment that got me the most excited this season. I'm not exactly sure why that is, considering he hit a game winner just a few innings later, Arrieta threw a no-hitter, and we've had numerous walk-off hits and homers. It's not like I missed them, as I was watching when a lot of those things happend. But for some reason, Schwarber's first dong in that game really did it for me.

KB walkoff and rondon against the giants are the two that spring to mind

Bryant's game winner against Colorado. Cubs are coming off splitting a series with the Reds and getting swept by the Phillies, including getting no hit. 2-5 over their last 7 games, they give up their 7-4 lead and head to the bottom of the 9th down 8-7 and facing a mid season collapse. Bryant, in my eyes, saves the season with that swing.

[UMFan83]

Definitely KB vs Colorado. Turned the season around.

[Sammy Sofa]

Schwarber's choices of walk-up music.

[Fro]

5/15 versus the Pirates at Wrigley, birth of the Rally Double Bubble Bucket and Polanco falls down in the 12th.

[BigSlick]

Not a singular moment but sweeping the GIants in 4 in Wrigley, cementing them as Wild Card favorites and beating up the World Series champs and making them look silly was a real coming out moment

[CubInOK]

Gotta go with Bryant's walk off vs Colorado. We were sad for some reason, then that happened.

[Sammy Sofa]

Whichever walkoff ended with Denorfia getting hauled around like a battering ram.

[Derwood]

Strop running along side KB

[mul21]

Probably an unusual pick here, but I was at the game and Wrigley was just insane for the Saturday game in August against the Braves. Russell ties it with a dong in the 6th, Montero and Soler go back to back in the 8th to take a 2 run lead and put it away. I was hoarse for about 4 days afterwards.

[bhogg]

In July I took the family to Atlanta for 2 games -- Lester took a no no into the 8th. Arietta was money. Good times, right?

 

I dropped the family at home and me and 2 buddies went to Wrigley for the last 2 Phillies games and the first Rockies game. So, the Hammels no hitter (bummer). . . . . . but we were there when Bryant hit THE WALK OFF (Pt 1).

 

The cubs were playing kinda crappy up to that point and it seems like that play has been a spring board to better things. The atmosphere after the game was incredible. Even after the crappy play against the Phils, there was a sense of "we actually are good" in the air.

 

 

 

A close 2nd for me was taking my son to see Bryant play in Memphis for Iowa. I really had no idea what KB was about. I knew he was a stud prospect, but the guy was impressive in his general demeanor. My son had been following him much closer than I had, and he was in baseball heaven. Getting to see him in the minors then again in the majors has been the highlight of my kids' year. Hopefully some playoff wins and KB homers are still in the future.

x2. This totally my "big moment" of the regular season (so far). It really felt like a big (i.e., needed) moment. The ship just took off after that.

5/15 versus the Pirates at Wrigley, birth of the Rally Double Bubble Bucket and Polanco falls down in the 12th.

 

I've watched the vine of Polanco falling down set to Stanky Leg about 100 times, so I guess this is me too.

[Sammys Boombox]

Such a fun season, but from a personal standpoint I was at the first game of four in Milwaukee when Rizzo donged in the 8th. It was my first time seeing KB and Schwarbs in person and Arrieta wore those ridiculous socks. Also went to the Sunday game.

 

Then we surprised my dad with tickets for his 50th birthday (we live 6 hours from Chicago) and went to the whole DBacks series. My uncle from Michigan surprised my dad as well in downtown Chicago on our way to the Saturday game and then we all were in the bleachers for KBs 495-foot dong.

 

I loved the Schwarber game, the Arrieta no-hitter, the Fowler HR in Colorado, Jumbo Diaz giving up a bomb to Soler, the Polanco game, the Bryant walk offs, the Castro walk offs, the whole Giants series and in general the 7-0 against the Mets. The DH sweep of the Cardinals was nice too. And actually the Montero's bases-clearing double in the Peralta game was awesome. Maddon's press conference today.

 

I'm taking my son to Wrigley for the first time against the Pirates. Even though he's only nearly 1 and won't remember that will be a big moment for me.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

It's not the biggest moment, but my favorite is "The Catch" by Rizzo.

[Guest]

Definitely the KB walkoff against Colorado because that was the start of the run we've been on. 51-46 before, 35-15 since.

 

The Giants series was amazing as well, especially living out here. Going from half a game back to 3 1/2 up with Rondon finishing it the way he did.

 

The 4 game sweep of the Mets in May all around. Syndergaard comes up and blanks the Cubs for 5 innings only for them to light him up in the sixth. Then Harvey shuts them down the next day but they see enough pitches to get him out after 7 and then get enough off the pen to get the win.

 

The team running down the dugout on KB's first home run just because I love stuff like that.

 

I know I'm missing some but those are the first few that come to mind. Plus so many walkoffs in April and May.

My favorite game of our trip. I remember telling my wife when the Cubs were down 7-3 that they'd be fine because Atlanta's starters and pen weren't any good and that they'd have plenty of chances to score.

 

Plus, even though I don't hate the guy at all, Edwin finally delivered the Cubs a win.

[hawkeyecub]

Bryant walkoff vs. the Rockies and Rondon vs. the Giants for me also. Having good seats for Lester's 14 K game vs. the Rockies two days after the walkoff was awesome.

 

That no hitter wasn't bad either.
