5/27 giants (blach) at cubs (chatwood) 708 cdt espn

[CyHawk_Cub]

It’s been a let down to read. Some big posters (hall of famers, even) came up in spots where they could have given some great analysis, but really crapped the bed. At one point sofa was flailing away at the manager. You just can’t do that at this level. NSB is going to drop like a rock in the message board standings despite its true talent level being better and quality material differential being far superior. There have been (too many) times that it’s been a crap-meatball fest.

 

The surprise knock on the Cardinals dead players and some nifty Addison Russell baby daddy humor redeemed you guys in the middle innings though. I think I’m back on board with this board. What a ride!

 

Cool. Your esteemed approval is all we plebs are thirsting for.

As I’m sure the cubs are ours. Just trying to wittily relay my experience of reading gam thread before reading box score as well as backhandedly comment that I’m as much a fan of this board as of this team. But if I said that, some people might get a big head. All in fun.

Don’t look now but Almora is hitting .328 on the season

 

Also, because it pains me to watch Ian play CF, I'd like to just insert Albert into the lineup for 155 games or until he breaks even if he isn't hitting that well.

[Bull]

So will the team bus go right from the airport to PNC?

Probably. I’m in a hotel outside Pittsburgh right now and going to the game in the morning. I’m so stoked about watching Monty pitch and Willy and half the other starters ride the bench.

Is Bull an R-Mac type or something? What's the history on him that people seemed to get annoyed by his post? I thought it was funny and solid.

He'll hit the wall eventually, .380 BABIP won't last and they've been using him in very good spots. They can let him go for now though.

Happ catches that easy...after it bounces off the ground.

almora didn't look slow af for a change

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Yeah, Ian never ever ever would have come close to that. Not like that's a bash of him, but case in point.

I’ve been around since the inception of the board. I’m too busy to post most of the time, so I think some people don’t recognize me. (I’m looking at you david)

But notice I said even when he's not hitting that well.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn he runs faster in the outfield than he does on the bases.

[Sammy Sofa]

This game is never going to end.

[CyHawk_Cub]

I'm assuming Monty is already in Pittsburgh? Maybe they should've sent some of the bullpen w/ him so they're also rested, though hopefully he surprises tomorrow & can give something like 4 relatively clean innings.

[Sammy Sofa]

So with 2 tonight, the Cubs now lead baseball in triples.

 

And yet even with Baez's HR, they are still 19th in dongs.

 

This team is weird.

Yup. He left earlier today.

[profisme]

Cooper is just opening up the zone now. Wonder if Joe told him that the Cubs have a day game tomorrow.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

speed it up a little. I have to work in the morning. 2 days from now

[KatJ]

Is it just me, or are the Wrigley fans not as bright as they used to be? Hearing a lot of noise for warning track fly balls tonight.

That's actually been an issue for a few years now.

[Derwood]

Cavs win, for anyone who cares

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I want two things to happen the rest of this game. The Cubs win, and Joe doesn't still use Carl and Morrow in the ninth inning.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I guess Willy just does not want to get better with that. That's odd to me.
