8/31 Braves(Newcomb) vs Cubs(Guy who started the clinching games of the NLCS and WS) 7:05 CSN

Last game I said Schwarber would homer and the Cubs would win. The Cubs definitely won and Schwarber hit 2 homers but he blew our shot at 20. I'll give myself a 2.5 out 2 missed out on a full point of extra credit.

 

This game...is interesting. This is my 3rd round at starting game threads. 1st attempt Cubs win 3 then lose. 2nd attempt Cubs win 2 then lose. Now they've won 3...so what's my point??

 

The 3rd game of the 1st streak the Cubs score 16 vs Arizona. Followed by a loss.

The 2nd game of the 2nd streak Cubs score 15 vs Cincinnati. Followed by a loss

Then tonight the Cubs score 17.

 

Hopefully the trend stops and it will.

Cubs win.

Almora homers.

great piece of hitting by Javy

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Everyone watching Trubisky hand the ball off??

[davell]

I think everyone's riveted by the chance Brandon Phillips could be dealt tonight. Processing that and/or the Bulls picking up Quincy Poindexter.....Lots to contemplate tonight, on top of how well Trubisky handed off 6 times in a row.

[davell]

Make it 9 straight times lol

[WoodRules]

That was terrible, Happ.

[Cubswin11]

Holy horsefeathers, Happ

[We Got The Whole 9]

Newcomb has thrown 29 more pitches than Kyle through 3 [emoji7]

[We Got The Whole 9]

That was horsefeathering filthy Kyle

[Brian]

Kyle is so fun to watch when he's on like this

[Brian]

Did Zobrist fall asleep? He could have easily picked up the ball and threw the guy out.

[UMFan83]

So lame. 4 groundouts = a run

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I think Kyle is my favorite Cub ever. Possibly my favorite person ever. I can't help but laugh watching him walk off the mound.

Yes, watching him walk off the field after a clean inning looking like he gave up 10 runs for whatever reason brings me great joy.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

horsefeathers off, Nats.

[Brian]

KB DONG!

[We Got The Whole 9]

Like seeing KB yank that pitch up in the zone

[Brian]

dumb wind

[We Got The Whole 9]

Kemp moves worse than me when my rheumatoid arthritis flares up

[Brian]

man is this the deadest game thread of the season?

 

...and, I believe this is what the kids call horsefeathers the closer

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Lol. Nice defense, Kemp.

[Gilby]

Matt Kemp's body looks really gross through his uniform.

[TruffleShuffle]

man, jay has been the perfect fit for what the cubs needed this year. would be happy to have him back next year at a reasonable price.
