I would prefer a statue of Jordan doubling down the left field line (yes, I know that predates the cup).

Michael Barrett punched a lot of people.  But to be fair, Pierzynski and Zambrano are very punchable people.

[UMFan83]

Serious question, do they still actually give out the Cup or celebrating winning it?  I remember a few years back they would always gather around on the field and take a photo with it but I don't remember seeing that the last couple of seasons.

To be fair, the Z incident was more of Barrett getting punched by Zambrano and him defending himself.

Lineup for tonight.

Ross is nothing if not stubborn

Morel having a big game tonight...

Cubs are gonna win an easy one

[CubinNY]

Clevenger looks like he wants to get out of this inning so he can do another line of blow. 

[Derwood]

How will the Cubs blow this scoring situation?

Who among us…?

[UMFan83]

That’s when you know the offense is struggling, when they get 2 on and 0 out and a runner on 3rd with 1 out situation for your best hitter and don’t score. 
 

or maybe it’s just a frustrating inning

Bellinger has been hitting like 400 for the last two months . A slump is coming sadly . The problem with having to get so hot to just get back into the mix is that they will cool off as is happening  . They can’t have another bad stretch of baseball .

[Derwood]

Cubs are all striking out a ton lately (except Tauchman)

[Irrelevant Dude]

Assad is rolling. Now get some runs.

[Nolansomebody]

Ah heck, no hitter's gone.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Stretch of getting shut down by crappy starting pitching continues

[LBiittner]

I hope clevenger doesn't pitch the game of his life tonight

Come on Let get some runs already 

[chibears55]

Maybe the cubs should get 2 outs first before they put baserunners on 🙄

[chibears55]

Another wasted opportunity 

[CubinNY]

They can’t buy a hit when they need one right now.
