05/31 Dodgers (Kazmir) @ CUBS (Arrieta) 7:05 CDT, ABC7

[Butterscup]

I been good. We good.

 

Not even Hammel's poor water intake could stop this train. T-Wood carries the pitching staff and the offense does just enough to pull out another W. Tomorrow we get King God on the mound and an offense that'll bring back the dongs. Let's make it 7.

A Butters/Arrieta tandem is impossible to overcome.

[CubInOK]

This is the face I made when I realized Scott Kazmir is still pitching.

Sofa, your streak is about to be matched.

Tree won't ever start a gam thread again.

[bcl412]

I love how we went from "struggling" to another large streak. It's like we're toying with baseball.

[Sammy Sofa]

Sofa, your streak is about to be matched.

 

Because the Cubs, the team we are fans of, keep winning. This is a good thing.

Why Can't Topps come out with a "probable serial killer" series? I wouldn't buy them, but still.

[Banedon]

So when we get to the postseason, we only use our best game thread starters...right? Right?!?!

IMO, yes. horsefeathers using any kind of first come first serve thread starts list. Roll w/ butters, mojo & whomever else proves themselves as having TWTW.

[David]

P sure that's how we've done it every year we've gotten to the playoffs.

Ah, didn't remember that. Carry on then.

I was thinking today about how far down the organization do you have to go before you find a weak link and I think you have to get all the way down to the radio color commentator.*

 

*And I actually like Coomer, but he's just not very good at radio especially the PBP in the 5th.

[Old Style]

Coomer is growing on me but he is not a good announcer.

So you like him, just not on the radio. What else is there? That one season he played for the Cubs?

you can like people who suck at things and dislike people who are good

 

he sucks at his job but he generally comes off as likeable in a goofy bumpkin kinda way.
