Well Duke DID promise at least 4 homers this game. Maybe he should have been more specific

[Banedon]

There is good news from this game that I’m excited to share with you guys. Polanco is my WC pick in the HR derby. I expect to be overwhelmed by the joyous reactions and praise.

 

[UMFan83]

I could be wrong but I don't think we've done a proper Breaking Bad universe gif themed game thread....just saying.

[UMFan83]

You know you are good when this is the response to winning a series against us

When we play them in August or September and up 10+ games on them in the division Javy is definitely getting thrown at.

I root for the Rockies whenever the Cubs aren't involved, but when Hurdle was here it was close to impossible. He is a very, very, very unlikable guy. Javy is right. horsefeathers him.

I'm glad Baez responded. I can't wait for the day when Clint Hurdle gets fired.

[Cubswin11]

Pirates are in town 2nd to last series of the year, I may have to get tickets by their dugout to chirp Hurdle and ask him how his respecting the game went when we are on our way to another postseason and he’s on his way home with his greatest accomplishment in Pittsburgh is winning a WC game.

To be fair, the Cubs used to (still do?) keep out the media for 10 minutes after every win to have a dance party.

 

This was annoying, but whatever. Feast on the Braves, who are actually really bad.

As opposed to the other really bad teams the Cubs have faced so far.

Hey, the Marlins have won a game since playing us.

So have the Reds. They have beaten the Vaunted Pirates as many times as the Cubs have.

So what are the chances that 81-81 is good enough for one of the wild cards?

[17 Seconds]

so we're really doing this again this year huh

[Cubswin11]

It’s frustrating but who cares. We all know this is ending up in the low/mid 90s win territory which is enough for the division.

probably, but we don't know that

I agree with your outcome but i want to dominate, it’s better that way

[David]

we're winning 100

[Cubswin11]

we're winning 100

We still easily have that upside which is nice and something nobody else in the division can say

[Aaron_Kennelly]

This is nothing like last year and everyone will have forgotten the slow start a month from now.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I think it’s fun we have such consistently high expectations. It never was that way growing up except for small pockets here and there.

 

Now, it’s going to be every year for a while, even if sometimes they fall short of them.

[Cubswin11]

This is nothing like last year and everyone will have forgotten the slow start a month from now.

Yeah it shouldn’t be. Last year at this time going through the rotation the 3rd starter was what Anderson, Lackey or Butler? Tomorrow Yu horsefeathering Darvish is taking the mound.

I'm pretty sure that and the bullpen dances are the motivation behind this. They're mocking the Cubs for not hating fun.
