8/23 Cobs v. Rox

[Rex Buckingham]

Colorado on the road vs. 2nd half Cubs at home... 16 innings incoming?

We were doing some clutch losing, but then blew it by coming back to tie the game.

Walk off homer is a great way to end the home losing streak. They still play Go Cubs Go at Wrigley

[d_money]

Ortega with the walkoff bomb. There’s something special about this team, I can feel it.

[Tim]

That was fun.

[Bertz]

I'm all about the tank but walkoffs are always fun.

 

(Also Kyle and Happ having really big games is more important than a little draft position)

Bote did all he could, but it wasn’t enough.

[PackLandVA]

Won’t root for them to lose. Just won’t be that disappointed when they do.

Man is Bote terrible. And his contract is even worse.

Hey, those two runs that scored on his GDP w/ the bases loaded helped us win that game!

Bote gets paid 3 million a year for the entirety of his deal, there is just no way where that can qualify for an 'even worse' in 2021. It inhibits nothing, it's a rounding error.

 

 

In more pleasant news, Happ is up to a 120 wRC+ in August and 100 wRC+ since the all-star break.

The Cubs last walk off homer prior to Rizzo’s call up:

Those deep fakes are getting so real. Darwin Barney hitting a dong, lol.
