"Patrick Wisdom may have just saved the season."

"Patrick Wisdom might have just saved the season". Nope, it's dead, but that was fun anyway.

Lugo seeing the reliever has just given up a GS for horsefeathers Patrick Wisdom

Good stuff Wisdom

About horsefeathers time, very nearly a BP FB that Cubs hitters have constantly missed this season

[UMFan83]

Haha wtf the cubs were up 3-1, in play a quick game of NCAA 25 and it’s now 7-4. Bizarre

Started to resemble Season 11 Richie Cunningham a bit.

Ten?

Showcasing Neris or just because he was already up?

If the Cubs could get anything for him, I’d trade him, just can’t see how a trade for Neris makes sense for a contender

Maybe for more of a setup, and just having an extra vet arm with playoff experience

I was watching the game with a buddy and I said Wisdom would either strike out or hit a grand slam. As such, I feel like Nostradamus at least to a certain extent. 

[UMFan83]

Watching the highlights. After PCA hits the triple with 0 outs the Cubs started to Cub as Nico struck out and then Busch grounded directly to 1B with PCA going on contact. Any other player on the Cubs would have been yet another out at home for the Cubs, but with PCAs speed Perez opted to just take the out at 1B. Which is awesome for PCA but almost yet another Cubs failure with the “go on contact” play 

edit: also another on in the 9th with Nico hitting one to 3B with a runner on 3rd and 1 out. A good throw gets Swanson at the plate but the throw was bad. Admittedly a somewhat tougher play but one that could definitely have been made

Season is saved until tomorrow when Mastro, PCA, and some AAA catcher are back in the lineup.

That's like a weatherman saying, "It's going to rain or not".

This may be a completely wrong take however, doesn’t a winning team potentially make more money than a losing team? 

It depends on who’s spending the money.

[CubinNY]

The Ricketts netted  @$56M last year.  @$10M/kid. And that’s just the Cubs you can probably add another couple million on the ancillary properties around Wrigley. 
 

They will make that or more again this year. Even with the biblical losses (that were greatly offset by tax benefits for years to come) the kid have made $100M each over the last decade and change. 
 

But we fans get excited when they go dumpster diving in trades and hope against hope that they are “in” on the next big name FA.
