if not his, maybe mine

NOT SO FUN FACTS:

 

The Cubs...as a team...have hit 10 dongs in the month of September.

 

Out of those 15 games, 8 of them have been dongless.

 

And now they get to go to Arizona, where dongs go to die.

That huge OF was made for #ChiliBall though, think of all the bloop oppo singles that will fall in. Maybe even turn in to a double.

We will be up 3.5 at the end of the night

 

But enough about Joe's BAC...

Once the Cubs offense scores 1 run we will be saying this..........

Win idiots

Another start for the worst position player hitter in baseball. Has a sub .500 OPS over the last 1/3 of a seasons worth of PAs but I’m sure hes due to snap out of it

[Gilby]

Corbin has reverse splits this year, but I was slightly worried Maddon would stack the lineup with all of our bad RH hitters. Though to be fair, if Heyward and Schwarber aren't ready to start, that really just leaves Murphy that should be in

It's pretty much pick your poison between him and Murphy right now, unfortunately.

Why not Javy to SS, Zobrist at 2B and Happ in the OF? Defense gets a bit worse and Happ has been struggling mostly but Happ actually does something occasionally as a batter

He apologized to his teammates, said he was embarrassed and that it should not happen and would not happen again. You’re going to bench him in the middle of a pennant race for that? Maybe in April

I'm not criticizing the move, I'm aiding the idea that maybe he was right. Lets pimp EVERY hit we get. its more fun that way.

[minnesotacubsfan]

that, and I'm 2 beers into the night.

Eh, given Happ's numbers against lefties, it's like picking between horsefeathers, shittier and shittiest. It's a lame situation.

[Jaxbro]

Win turds

 

But alas it’ll at least be a quick game watching this lineup flail away at 3 breaking balls each at bat

[gobigred]

So what's our magic number for at least being in the play in game?

[Cubswin11]

Like 8 or 9

[Schwarber Fan]

Brewers up big. Gotta win.

At Bat lists our magic number to eliminate the Cards for the division as 8 and they’re tied with LA for the second wild card so I assume it’s the same.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Lmao. Javy get real dude.

[Brian]

damn Javy everybody knew that was going to be down

[soccer10k]

Didn’t throw a single pitch that would have been called a strike to Javy.

[gobigred]

Struck out on ball 7
