4/12 Seattle (who cares) at Cubs (antisemite apologist)

[UMFan83]

Clearly the scouting report is to swing early against Gilbert, but he's going to end up with a CG because of it.

This crew of umpires is bad all around.

He's out now. Maybe they can start a rally.

brutal 3-1 call, one of the lowlights of a particularly bad umpiring series

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Absolutely pathetic strike 2 call to Mastrobuoni. Cubs should’ve had the bases loaded. 2 pitches later the inning is over.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I really miss the days when Cubs would dong.

Kelenic going for the Kirk Nieuwenhuis Memorial Series Killer of the Year

Merryweather is not long for this roster.

[UMFan83]

Geez, just getting mowed down quickly today.  How was that 3 outs already?

[CubinNY]

Topa has some nasty late action on his heater. 

[UMFan83]

Gotta be one of the longest HRs hit at Wrigley in a long time.  I can only think of 1-2 other HRs that landed in the CF bleachers and this one was several rows up.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I can't wait to trade for Kelenic and have him go Jeff Blauser on us.

that might be the longest homer by a non-cub at wrigley I’ve ever seen

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I gave them crap for the zone but that's a great call on the SB, I wouldn't have thought anything of it had they called him safe

To center for sure. I can remember Richie Sexton hitting one that hit the apartments in LF.

There are some articles I just looked up for longest HRs hit at Wrigley.  There is a rumored HR by Roberto Clemente that actually left the stadium having been hit just left of the scoreboard.  Estimated 535 feet.  Of course there's no video of it so hard to verify.  There was also Kingman's HR that went approximately 520 ft and landed on Kenmore about 3 houses beyond the Waveland/Kenmore intersection.

lol did Willie Harris change out of the tight pants after Boog and JD talked about it?

[jersey cubs fan]

Feeling disappointed they didn’t sweep

[UMFan83]

I'll take the series win.  This next stretch is going to be tough

Next 3 stretches of the season:

- Just started a stretch of 13 of 16 games against 2022 playoff teams (SEA, @ LAD, LAD, SD, with 3 @ Oak sandwiched in there)

-10 of 10 games against bad teams  (@ MIA, @ WAS, vs MIA)

-22 of 25 games against 2022 playoff teams (STL, @ MIN, @ HOU, @ PHI, NYM, TB, @ SD with a series against the Reds sandwiched in there)

Stupid Cubs not winning on my birthday. I'll take the series win though.
