8/16 Brew Crew (Garza) @ Cubs (Cahill) 12:20PM CT WGN

[UMFan83]

Any predictions for when Heyward's season OPS drops into the .500's? I think we're at .617 now

[David]

dong runs are obviously best, although non-hit runs are fun/funny when they result in walk off wins

[David]

ugh, joe smith is still on the roster?

I think the SLG was at .312 prior to the last at bat. Unbelievable.

[Cubswin11]

Thought Miggy got that one

[Schwarber Fan]

Hahaha, horsefeathers the wind.

Something has to give tomorrow unless Grimm goes back down or Theo's cronies kill another member of Hammel's family.

[Ski]

The number of warning track shots recently has been very annoying.

[David]

stupid grote had me thinking that'd be in play run(s) and possibly even a dong

[Omar]

alright Chapman, make it quick. I have a meeting at 3:30.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Hold your breath it's Joe Smith time.

[Omar]

horsefeathers.

[UMFan83]

Hahaha, [expletive] the wind.

 

I want to see some studies of historical wind trends at Wrigley. It seems like we've had more wind blowing in days than any year in recent memory. Not sure why but it just really hasn't been a favorable dong hitting park for a lot of this year. Which is actually when its better to have dongsmiths like we do because we won't hit as many cheapies.

Even Len starting going into his home run trot before toning it back quickly.

Global warming

 

I was going to suggest El Nino but I have no idea how that would effect the wind if at all.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Leadoff walk. Sounds about right.

[soccer10k]

Joe Smith still sucks.

 

News at 11.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Apparently, Big Z is back at Wrigley. Had a picture with one of my friends pop up on my FB feed.

let's not start this horsefeathers about who let him in again

[UMFan83]

What is he doing nibbling out there? You have a 4 run lead with no one on.

[Ski]

I don't really understand how our FO can make so many sterling moves and then go out and make such a brazenly unnecessary acquisition like Joe Smith.

[Cubswin11]

Joe Smith is a terrible thrower of baseballs

[UMFan83]

It makes sense for a team that expects to be in the playoffs to acquire someone previously effective in the pen for almost nothing in return to see if they can get something out of him for the playoffs. The only concern I had was a roster spot being wasted.

[Gmoney08]

that was one of the more egregious "here are some boobs for you fans at home to ogle" montages i've seen in a while.

 

Several twitter ppls asking if Arne Harris has risen from the grave for that segment.

 

Need screenshots in the name of Arne..

Global warming creates extremities in weather, and that causes the Polar jetstream that Chicago and the rest of the midwest recieve to be stronger
