8/27 - We want the Cup! (Cubs @ White Sox)

[UMFan83]

Cubs need all 3 this weekend to retain the Crosstown Cup. Wisdom hit a 3 run HR in the first so the Cubs are up 3-0.

 

It was a 441 ft bomb

No JD again? Who knew we were getting the college of announcers this year.

It will always be the BP Cup to me. I'm not going to let some corporate sponsor tell me what to call it!

[PackLandVA]

....was that top of the inning?!?!?

[chopsx9]

OK here we go!

white sox will still win by 5

[Schwarber Fan]

I’m done with Keegan Thompson. Career minor league pitcher.

[chopsx9]

Not gonna lie but I was kinda hoping Larussa was going to call in Kimbrel here.

[Rex Buckingham]

Eh, he can at least be a solid reliever.

[Irrelevant Dude]

That didn't last long.

[Schwarber Fan]

Good luck finding enough pitching for this team not to lose 100 games next year, Jed.

[UMFan83]

I wonder how many teams in history have lost 2 games where they scored 6+ runs in the first. Edited August 28, 2021 by UMFan83

[Schwarber Fan]

Romine should be pulled from the game for that.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

After top 1 I told my son it’ll be a 11-8 loss with the final 2 runs coming in the 9th

[Irrelevant Dude]

Romine should be pulled from the game for that.

He's going to have to pitch later.

[Schwarber Fan]

This is embarrassing. Just forfeit the rest of the season.

[cl smooth]

This team is so. horsefeathering. Bad.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Fire Jed, honestly.

[cl smooth]

And what’s up with that old guy wearing a thick M&M’s jacket?

[17 Seconds]

it is 2012

[Schwarber Fan]

So we’re looking at Hermosillo and Ortega as OF competition next year. Any chance Heyward just goes to the bench? Not that Happ has earned a spot either.

Seriously, after the trades on prior to August 1, what did you all expect? Their best MLB player is injured. Their other best sort of MLB player is injured. Their scary bats are guys named Schwindel and Wisdom and Ortega. They're gonna be bad the remainder of the season so accept it. Makes watching so much easier.

I mean, they scored 10 runs tonight. The pitching has been very disappointing. Almost no one showing any promise outside of Heuer and Rodriguez.

[Bertz]

It could very easily be the 7 run lead, but Kimbrel's velocity tonight would have me nervous as hell if he was still ours

[We Got The Whole 9]

His ERA was .5 when we traded him lol
