4/14 Reds (Iglesias) @ Cubs (Hammel) 7:05 CSN

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I don't want to hash out the entire debate again but its like stupidly obvious how good a job Theo and co. have made at this point.

 

I'll always be willing to rehash it. It was and always will have been worth it. This is the coolest and most enjoyable Cubs team of all-time.

[Brian]

This is looking .... Grimm.

[David]

i'd laugh if we kept the shutout in tact after that start

[bcl412]

Getting out of this with no runs allowed would be a perfect finisher to this.

[chuckywang]

These fans want that shutout.

[Derwood]

Well crap, now its like we lost

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Pity run.

[ScrubMD]

Somehow the 5-4 Cardinals are 2nd in the league in run differential behind the Cubs.

 

Be sure to remind their fans that 100% of their wins are against the Braves and Brewers.

i go over to PSD and i feel like i'm reading the onion...i think like 10% of the posts are bitching about the lineup order because it's obviously not workin

[Brian]

:flythew: 8-1

Look at all of the improvements made to Wrigley and the minor league system to ensure that this success will continue for quite a long time after this. Jim Hendry and Andy MacPhail never would have dreamed of things like underground player facilities or modern computer servers.

Hey the final score is also our record after the W

The lineup order is perfect. Freaking weirdos.

[Sammy Sofa]

Delicious.

[Ski]

Yawn. Win.

[UMFan83]

I just can't believe this is our team

Bu - ...

 

I jus-...

 

Nope, not gonna be baited. Cubs win and are awesome and everything is awesome.

[David]

hey guys what about the plexiglas principle? we were really bad in 2014.

[CubInOK]

We don't play 1-run games because we score 1 run an inning.

[UMFan83]

8 runs scored on only 2 XBH - and one of those was from the pitcher

i don't know why people need to go to such lengths of hyperbole just to say theo epstein is a lot better at running a baseball team than almost everyone else and probably the best either way.

 

the one thing i want to call out is the people who thought theos were plentiful these days. this dude is on a whole different level.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

When is our division lead up to 10 games?

[imb]

im not gonna suck my popsicle until we start beating good teams, but still this has been a fun ass 9 games

not sure what my favorite is between the bitching about zobrist getting garbage time walks and not being clutch with RISP and wasting ABs that should go to rizzo, or that heyward sucks and needs to be moved down (to fix what problem, i have no horsefeathering idea)
