7/17 World Champion Cubs (Lester) @ Braves (Teheran) 6:35 CT WGN/670

[UMFan83]

The Cubs went into Baltimore yada yada yada, season back on.

 

 

Ok fine. The Cubs outscored the Orioles 27-11, donged 10 times oh and our new acquisition went 7 scoreless innings striking out 12 guys. Pretty damn good weekend.

 

Now it's time to turn a good weekend into a nice long run.

 

Go Cubs!

That series popped our RD back up to +16. Should've been higher without the game 1 implosion.

 

Atlanta is at .500 but has a -34 RD

If you want some fun, you can go read Szymborski's interactions with Braves fans yesterday when he said it was a mirage.

 

Basically, Braves fans chalk up the differential to Bartolo and Dickey being terrible, but can't come to grips with the fact that Freeman/Adams/Flowers have all played above their heads. I enjoyed reading it.

[Tryptamine]

Please Cubs let this be an actual run and not a win 3 straight then lose 4 of the next 5 time of thing like you've done all year.

lmao, the Braves are +7 in games Dickey has pitched and besides that, he has been one of the reasons the Braves have gotten to .500 (4 ER in his last 5 starts covering 33 IP). Bartolo is a little different (-24 RD when he pitched) but either way thats a very rudimentary argument anyways.

The most excited I've been for a Cubs game since probably Opening Day. This series will tell us if the O's were just completely dysfunctional or if this Cubs team is finally righting the ship. This is an improved Braves club, but still one we should take care of.

[squally1313]

The Braves are bad. We should win. We might not, but we should. This applies to most of the rest of the year.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I have yet to see what this park looks like, not even pictures. First new park we've playes in since Marlins or Target right?

[Agony and Ivy]

Sean Rodriguez finally activated after losing an arm this offseason. Just in time to spark the Braves on their playoff run. We can't catch a single break, while the Brewers won't have to face Scherzer in their series with the Nats.

The Brewers face Gio, Scherzer and Roark according to ESPN.....

I was just going off something from one of the game threads. I don't even know when they play. Your biggest takeaway should've been that we're about to get dickslapped by Sean Rodriguez and all his intangibles.

What a sexy lineup

WHY IS THE LINEUP GRAPHIC SO BIG

What a sexy lineup

 

Would be sexier if there was a DH.

On a serious and positive note, the Brewers have 10 games remaining against the Nats/Dodgers while we only have 3.

This series always sucks for me. I'm in the Braves blackout region, so MLB.tv doesn't work. Thus I have to watch on regular TV and deal with Chip

[DouglasDorsey]

Anybody know what station this is on Direct TV if it is?
