When you add champagne it makes sense. I just though it was some corny Midwest thing.

I can assure you it's not a Midwest thing to think popping bottles means to clock someone over the head with a beer bottle. It means to open champagne/celebrate

I googled birdman, and for a minute I thought a musical number in the movie Birdman that I'd forgotten. But there's a rapper named Birdman?

I have time for work, drinking and/or watching baseball. Besides, most hip hop from here blows outside of bounce.

Why am I guessing that my interpretation is more in line with Zobrist?

Including the 2015 NLDS the Cubs have won 30 of the last 48 games they’ve played against the Cardinals. The Cards have won only two of the last 15 series between the rivals, with three series splits. At home the Cardinals had lost five consecutive series to the Cubs until taking two of three earlier this year on Mother’s Day weekend. But that was but a brief respite from the beatdowns; the Cardinals are 4-11 vs. Chicago this season.

Remember when Heyward signed and said part of the reason was going to a younger, better team and there were people/articles trying to say the Cardinals were just as good and young? LOL

Despite some signs of his decline, they believe Molina is still one of the top four catchers in the game with “off-the-charts baseball IQ,” in the words of a team official.

they still believe they are taking the steps to bridge the gap on Chicago in the very near term.

“I don’t even think we’ve begun to see the best of Stephen Piscotty,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.

The Molina deal spoke to how close they think that core is to championship caliber.

When Jason Heyward left St. Louis to join the Cubs after the 2015 season, he angered some Cardinals fans by saying he felt Chicago’s emerging core would give them an edge against what he implied was an aging Cardinals roster. That looks less true today than it did then

Fun fact, Stephen Piscotty has a lower SLG than Jason Heyward and Ben Zobrist. He does just have Leonys Martin beat though.

[bukie]

Fun fact 2: Paul DeJong has a lower walk rate than Javier Baez, Albert Almora and Jon Lester.

 

Fun fact 3: Young core position players Jose Martinez and Tommy Pham are older than 10 regular Cub position players (Heyward, Rizzo, Bryant, Russell, Baez, Schwarber, Contreras, La Stella, Almora, Happ)

Hahaha, I totally forgot about that dumb article and that shitty writer on ESPN. I'm shaking my head at how bad that article looks now lol. I mean it was stupid when it first came out, but it looks even worse now.

 

Those Javy gifs are glorious. I think adding Javy gifs to any post makes it 200% better.

Man, Zobrist really not mincing words, figured he'd be a little more aw shucks given his nature and growing up a cardinals fan.

 

Anyway I love this team's swagger. They expect to win and never quit.

 

 

They already hijacked the fireworks button. Tonight they destroy the visitor clubhouse.

You don't pop bottles, you pop corks. horsefeathers the Cardinals. I hope Pham takes a cork to the groin.

[Banedon]

Wtf...I did not have any idea this would be a controversial topic. Yes, you pop corks. But have you folks never talked about "popping champagne bottles"?

 

This is a weird, weird phrase to be nitpicked.

Feels like a lot of people showing their ages

More Cubs-Cards awesomeness:

 

Let’s look at the numbers since that July 8, 2015, loss to the Cardinals. In head-to-head record, the Cubs lead 29-16 when their 3-1 record against the Cards in the playoffs is included. In the overall regular-season standings, Chicago has a major advantage with a 242-153 record vs. St. Louis’ 212-183. That’s a 30-game difference.
