I thought Willy had one

I thought Willy had one

He's definitely hitting the ball harder lately.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I still think a lot of our angst comes from the fact that being less than 5 games ahead of the Brewers is embarrassing no matter how good they may be. Still time to fix this.

[Brian707]

They are starting to come together

I watched the bottom of the 9th on my phone, Miller Park was pretty empty for a pennant race

There’s more Cubs fans at these games in Arizona than there have been total fans at the VB games the last 2 nights

To be fair, Reds fans dont travel well with their team in last place

I was looking up number 9s for the Cubs and it led me to a name I haven’t thought of in a long time... Scott “Die Hard” McClain. I remember how obsessed this board was with his spring training exploits

[Cubswin11]

We’re smoking the horsefeathering ball

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Are we up by at least four runs?

[Brian707]

Exactly 4

OK. Not bad. Not bad.

[Sammy Sofa]

Murphy's pony trot-run is so lame.

[Sammy Sofa]

Alright, time for some sound, sound sleep.

[bcl412]

So we could enter the bye with this horsefeathers practically over. Not quite where expected after we lost the series to the brewers

[SpongeWorthy]

venable is a baby huey lookin MFer

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

Fangraphs currently gives us a 100.0% chance of making the playoffs. Soul can breathe easy now.

We had it the whole time.

[Sammys Boombox]

I approve of this offensive display.

[chibears55]

Rizzo with 95 RBIs

 

Cubs should have 2 guys with 100

 

Be nice if Rizzo could get 6 more homers for 30

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

Added bonus of having the division close to stitched up: we get to play spoilers with the Cards in the last series of the season with hardly any stress attached!

[Forgotmyoldlogin]

If we win tomorrow (or the Brewers lose tomorrow) we'll be up 3.5 with all our remaining games in Chicago. This feels good.

[gobigred]

Good that they are scoring by basehits instead of all homers

Won't they get the Cubs B team

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Willy is taking some good hacks lately.

[ConstableRabbit]

Zo is so locked in. It has been a joy watching him in the second half.
