8/18 Cubs (Chatwood) at Pirates (Musgrove) 6:05 p.m. WGN

[soccer10k]

Three in a row! First time that's happened since we won four straight from July 13-19.

 

I have to say, this has been an enjoyable run of game thread starts. But that will likely come to an end on Saturday due to the combination of Sofa being at the game and Chatwood starting. I know we won the last two games by only scoring one run in each game but - please bear with me here because this might sound crazy - I think we're going to have to get at least two to win this thing.

 

And hey, maybe the combination of Sofa and Chatwood works like a double negative and they cancel each other out resulting in a Cubs victory.

 

GO CUBS!

Chatwood’s Shawn Estes game coming right up.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Good news: 4.5 up now

 

Bad news: VPASRD barely moved the last two nights

[bcl412]

Too much working against us tonight. Win this and it’s a sign we’re winning the World Series thing....but we won’t, we’ll lose by 10

[Sammys Boombox]

Im trying to remind myself that the Pirates are in a funk right now, so maybe we have a chance?

 

Probably not.

Weather looks like horsefeathers

So does the Cubs' starting pitcher.

That's about as good as it gets right now.

[Cubswin11]

That’s the no horsefeathers around lineup right now

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Chatwood gets the optimal lineup. Even Joe knows he can’t horsefeathers around tonight.

[raw]

This is the "we need more than 1 run today, fam" lineup.

[PackLandVA]

Is Caratini or LaStella warming up yet?

[Andy]

6 more of those double plays would be just terrific

[NotSoSober]

I'd love to go read a Pirates forum only for these last 9 and 2/3s innings

[soccer10k]

Good to see the GIDPs are continuing.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Lmao. DP.

[mikeyt34]

Nice Tyler.

[raw]

This is the best. Intentional walk the leadoff man every inning. Or in Chatwood's case.....

[NotSoSober]

Contreras has completely forgotten how to hit the ball in the air

[badger]

I’m tired of the cubs offense being boring.

They have a great weighted batting average or something. I was told that when I referred to their offense as sometimes clunky.

[NotSoSober]

Get this [expletive] off the team
