6/24 Cubs (Lester) vs Braves (Teheran) 7:05 NBC Chicago

[soccer10k]

First Game Thread win of the year and it feels good. I was behind 0-2 but just like Javy, I came through when needed.

 

Cubs got swept in Atlanta in the beginning of the year so it’s time for some payback.

 

Go Cubs!

[Bertz]

The Braves bullpen has thrown a lot of innings the last several days. If they can chase Teheran early today that would really pay dividends for the rest of the series.

Lester again already? Rats.

Ugh. You're still here?

CarGoHNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

That last spot in the lineup is pretty much a no win situation at this point. Almora? Cargo? Russell? Descalso? Just be happy there's only one of them and they are at the bottom of the lineup.

Oh just wait until Joe get's his monthly case of wine from Binny's. They will all be in the lineup at the same time.

Yep. Of those 4 I think CarGo is probably the least objectionable, or at least the one least likely to give me a visceral reaction to seeing him at the plate. So whatever.

430+ feet, call him up already you cowards

who dat

[Cubswin11]

who dat

Cool story about how they found him. He’s slashing .295/.369/.600 in Iowa. Plays 2B and MAYBE some 3B/OF. He’s not great defensively but fine at 2B (allegedly), has a bit of a K problem but who cares.

That's what happens when Ryan and Brach are warming up in the bullpen together.

Here are some stranger things that would be fun to see.....

 

1) Lester not giving up moonshots

2) Chip Caray getting laryngitis

3) Albert wears a chin strap on his helmet

4) Joe decides to bat the ball boy instead of Descalso

[We Got The Whole 9]

I'm not sure if we can hold them under 30 in this series

Under the Ricketts, Joe can only afford toilet hooch.

CarGoHNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

as far as what other options are there, I'll take him. I refuse to watch any of Russell, Almora or Descalso in the box. At least CarGo may run into one.

Debatable is he's a better option than Russell or, shockingly, Almora in that regard.

Almora had that fun little power surge in May when he jumped on a few first pitch mistakes (.536 slugging, won't mention the OBP). Since then...

 

June slash line: .196/.229/.217

Oh, I know he sucks. It's just that CarGo sucks even more. I FEEL IT IN MY BOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNES.
