9/28 Royals (Ventura) @ Cubs (Hendricks), 7:05, CSN

Tommy "rat Boy" La Stella, clean up hitter

 

i wish we didn't have to play this game but you know, whatever. At this point I'm rooting for: Kris Bryant getting 30 magical dingers, Addisson Russell to get his OPS above .700, and Jorge Soler miscellaneous dingers

[Sammys Boombox]

As long as Castro is playing. That walkup song...

[Guest]

lol, my first game at Wrigley was Lou Brock Day when they gave him second base. Al Hrabosky pitched for the Cardinals. Rick Monday had a HR and the Cubs won, I think.

[sneakypower]

wasnt expecting to see TLS in the cleanup spot.

his rightful place imo

[Ding Dong Johnson]

They'll bring him out to PH in the 8th so he can get his ovation.

does anyone else find themselves clapping along?

This is Cubbie Christmas.

 

Now that (almost) everything is settled, I want to watch these games. It's going to be relaxing and fun.

motte during the song on the steps of the dugout last night was hilarious

[itisallpartoftheplan]

My first game was Cubs vs Cardinals in 2001.

 

Sammy hit two bombs and Juan Cruz got his first MLB win.

did I read correctly that Rizzo's only missed 1 game all season so far?

Rizzo to keep his OPS over .900 (it's .901 now), and his batting average above .280 (I believe its at .278 entering today), and of course 100 RBIs.

Yes, I credit people getting into this song and clapping as the reason Starlin turned his season around. You can't help but expect him to get a hit after that.

[Gilby]

I'd rather Bryant play the outfield with Coghlan at 1B. I don't want Kris to get Derrek Lee'd.

it'd be neat if Hendricks could get the pitches that are in the strike zone called strikes

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 76-38 (.667) when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 14-27 (.341) when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Come on!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 38-12 (.760) when they score in the first inning.... 52-53 (.495) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Gilby]

I've never liked Hosmer ever since that Eno Sarris article where he talks about how he's learned to approach players with questions. Hosmer was a huge prick.

 

That ball should be over the fence.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are seeing 4.00 P/PA..... Royals are seeing 4.40 P/PA through 1 inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I wonder how many times a ball had touched a leaf in the ivy before going into an OFers glove.
