9/20 Cardinals (Martinez) @ Cubs (Lester) 1:20 CDT, CSN/TBS

[bcl412]

The most fun part for me right now is how I just feel like I can assume the Cubs are going to win every single day they play. My dad was texting me about how worried he was going in to yesterday's game and all I could muster was:

 

 

Yeah, I just can't muster up any of my classic "these are the Cubs and they make me nervous" thoughts and emotions from years past with this team. Part of it is because this is sports and I don't take it as seriously as I used to but part of it is because they're so fun and so good and are set up to be for awhile so this season doesn't feel like "we gotta do it or else."

Sofa, that wretched, revolting creature is in the line-up again.

That's how much I'm enjoying things right now!

[Schwarber Fan]

Of course Tommy Pham hits a 600 foot homer off Lester.

[kujay]

Jesus he crushed that

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 41-40 (.506) when the opponent hits at least 1 HR.... 46-21 (.687) when they don't

CUBS are 74-35 (.679) when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 13-26 (.333) when they do

CUBS are 64-18 (.780) when they score first in the game.... 23-43 (.348) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

PHAM, WHO DID THIS

[Guest]

no problem. This will be but a drop in the ocean of dongs the Cubs hit today.

[Cubswin11]

I think Lester fooled the umpire on that curveball

[Schwarber Fan]

Something is 100% going on with Rizzo's defense.

[imb]

Rizzo D has slipped the last month or so

[kujay]

That slide was borderline

[Guest]

So...the Cards fans were acting all righteous the other day about Coghlan's slide, eh?

[Guest]

I mean, I think both were within the rules. But both were straightforward attempts to make the turn harder.

[bcl412]

Definitely a suspicious slide. Within the rules but an opportunity for some physical retribution that seemed to be taken.
