9/27 - Cardinals (Wacha) v. Cubs (teeth) - 6:08 CSN

[Brian]

it's so weird to me that the cubs are now one of those teams where you kinda think about how often they do these champagne celebrations and you wonder if they're even as cool anymore

 

they're always cool as horsefeathers, mind you...we've just had, uh, lots of them

 

1. 2015 wild card 2 clinch

2. 2015 wild card game win

3. 2015 NLDS win

4. 2016 NLC clinch

5. 2016 NLDS win

6. 2016 NLCS win

7. 2016 WS win

 

also 2 no hitters which probably had some beer sprayed around

[CaliforniaRaisin]

‪Would it be inappropriate to invite Dexter Fowler to the Cubs locker room to celebrate?‬

[Brian]

and I have loved every single celebration and will love everyone going forward

[Cubswin11]

the Brewers/Cardinals series is going to be almost worth watching with the funeral that it is going to be.

Brewers are getting their doors blown off right now, that series only meaning is pretty much for who takes 2nd in the Central and 1 draft position with the Rockies win today.

[ScrubMD]

Cons:

-About to lose their 13th game to the Cubs this season.

-Will be all-but-eliminated from the playoffs.

-Miss playoffs for 2nd straight season.

-Personally eliminated by Cubs for the 2nd time in 3 season.

-Cubs will be spraying champagne and pissing all over their clubhouse tonight.

-Will probably get the horsefeathers beaned out of them tomorrow.

 

Pros:

-Beaned Rizzo to assert their dominance.

I think there’s absolutely going to be a picture of him after the game with the guys or out a little later, that is completely harmless and just him dropping by that is going to make the BFIB livid

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Thanks for being just good enough to give us a bunch of great memories from September, Brewers and Cardinals. And thanks for being sucky enough to still be irrelevant like we all knew you were.

It's true though to some degree. I remember when the Cubs clinched with a Brewers loss in 07 people were going nuts and took over the intersection of Clark and Addison celebrating (I may or may not have made the front page of the Trib the next day). Of course that was a Friday night vs a Wednesday night so understandable if the celebration in Wrigleyville is not as nuts.

 

Either way, maybe it's not as much of a rush to clinch a playoff spot with recent success but that actually makes me feel more satisfied knowing that we've accomplished so much.

[bcl412]

We've had lots of years with not celebrations and where I stopped giving a crap in July. I'm going to enjoy every celebration of the Theo (and beyond?) years. Hopefully there's more World Series victories to go along with them.

I think it's finally an acceptable time for a Taylor Davis start. And let's go find Zagunis and see if he can't finally get that first big league hit

[BigSlick]

The Cardinals are 77-63 against the rest of the league and are about to be 5-13 against us.

damn this stat is fresh as hell

[Derwood]

The ESPN announcers get bored of baseball games very easily. They basically stop talking about the game after the 5th inning

[David]

god i hope theo sticks around forever like scheurholtz or cashman style

 

i know he mentioned that bill walsh quote about 10 years, but i'm pretty sure that was just a convenient line to drop in to his speech when he was getting the horsefeathers out of dodge in boston.

Bryant may have had 1 more step.

[Brian]

Dex you know what to do.

[d_money]

Let’s over manage again Joe. Jesus Christ.

[bcl412]

Brewers are down 6. Don't pitch Davis for more than 2 innings Joe.

[NotSoSober]

Fowler still a Cub at heart

[Brian]

Dexter Fowler forever and always a Cub in his heart.

[UMFan83]

You know you're still on our side Dexy

 

3 more outs

[Cubswin11]

Go eat a St. Louis style pizza, Dex

[LeonDurham]

That walk was maddening. But thanks Dex.

[ScrubMD]

He's still invited to the Cubs clubhouse.
