9/5 Super Cubs (Hendricks) @ Brewers (Davies) 12:10 CT WGN, ESPN

Cubs fans taking over Miller Park is one of my favorite things.

 

taking over busch on clinch day will be so much better

It's funny because a criticism of Cubs fans is that they go to Wrigley for beer and sunshine and because it's touristy and stuff. But every road game you hear them audibly cheering the team.

 

I've preached this for years, especially to Sox fans who bash a majority of Cubs fans as just attending games to see the park or the "tourism" factor. I always point out the road attendance figures. Cubs are always top ten, and top 5 when they field a competitive team.

fewer outs, is my opinion

[David]

i wasn't paying attention but i'm pretty sure that's not ryne sandberg

[PackLandVA]

Glad to see three of the last four batters swinging at first pitch.

 

*edit* Thank you Jorge.

[BigSlick]

the outs. i would prefer if you committed fewer of them

The Cubs are good, but I don't think they're "change the rules of the game"-good.

[Schwarber Fan]

Miller Park is pretty much the worst place ever.

[PackLandVA]

I'm not certain if I prefer the solid contact, line drives for outs to show that Heyward is seeing the ball well and getting good hacks.

 

Or if I prefer the weak contact that has been falling for hits lately.

[UMFan83]

offense get going again plz. We destroyed this guy 2 weeks ago when we faced him.

[Sammy Sofa]

Miller Park is pretty much the worst place ever.

 

Somehow I don't think there's a stadium where don't assume the Cubs suck there.

 

Me, I look at this is a place where they routinely show up and packed stands and drub the home team and sometimes even throw no-hitters. That seems more fun.

[Sammy Sofa]

Getting thrown out by Montero is such a badge of shame.

[David]

baez is so good that he can make montero throw guys out

[BigSlick]

Well uh, we're not making Davies work very much

[CubInOK]

Baez finally realizing his athletic limits.

[PackLandVA]

:(

[BigSlick]

Time to engage: Step on the Bums' Throats mode

[Sammy Sofa]

Alright, time for some fine dongin'.

[BigSlick]

Oof, 3 balls right down the heart of the plate, can't get em

[Agony and Ivy]

Davies is Hendricks-lite. That changeup is nasty
