8/14/18 Cubs(Quintana) vs Brewers(Chacin) 1:20PM NBCS Chicago

[itisallpartoftheplan]

ATTENTION: THIS GAME IS ON TUESDAY.

 

Sometimes it seems like the deck is stacked again you. That’s how the Nats had to feel last night. Their best pitcher lined up to go again Cole Hamels. 1 game away from getting to avoid Hamels but they just missed. No luck for the Nats this year I guess.

 

 

Not a good night for those doubting the greatness of Bote in his thread a couple nights ago. There was a reason Joe fell behind by 3 in the 9th. To add a big boost to an already likely HOF career by Bote. I asked for DONGS, I got a dong but since it was a Grand Dong if was perfectly acceptable. Keep hitting homers Cubs, preferably with 1 or more men on base. Watch the Grand Dong again if you’d like.

 

 

Onto the next...

 

The next order of business is this falling behind early thing, especially in the opening game of a series. The Cubs have not played an opening game of a series without trailing during the game since June 15th vs the Cardinals. A shutdown first and an early lead that we sustain would be very enjoyable against a vaunted opponent like the Brewers. Win it Cubs!

Aren't the Brewers the one team Quintana is still any good against?

 

Shatter these dicknoses' dreams.

5 up at the end of this series is what I want

As if there weren't enough evidence of them being frauds, this guy somehow has a 1.06 ERA and has only given up 16 hits in 34 innings against them as a Cub.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I don't even want to know his non-Brewer ERA now.

[Gilby]

The horsefeathers. Why is this game being played at 1:20

I just tried to calculate it but my desk calculator only goes up to 9 digits

[Cubswin11]

Sweep these fucks and effectively end the division

[Banedon]

I hope the bullpen guys start using that to come to the mound during the game. And then the starter can ride it back.

The Brewers have been dog horsefeathers in day games. Not that it was planned that way.

In before Craig Counsell makes a comment about bringing sunglasses to the game because why wouldn't the first game of a weekday series be a night game.

I feel like there has been way more midweek day games than in previous years but that can’t be right

[jersey cubs fan]

why are people weirded out by an afternoon game at wrigley field?

[bcl412]

Part of me wants blowouts the other part wants 2 more walk off grand slams. Breaking the Brewers soul is my ideal

I want the former. I want to feel like the Cubs are ready to stomp on peoples throats from here on out

[Cubswin11]

Joe better put out the no horsefeathers around lineups for these two games which means all of Zobrist/Heyward/Schwarber/Bote/Baez/Rizzo/Willy better start both games and then decide between Russell at SS and Zobrist in the OF or Happ in the OF and Zobrist at 2B. Almora better not start.

[bcl412]

I’m down with no Russell/Almora lineups

[CyHawk_Cub]

I just want the Cubs to play better. They've been lucky in the 2nd half. Just start stompin' horsefeathers please.
