javy back!

[Outshined_One]

Considering Chicago was named as DNC host in April 2023 and the MLB schedule was released in July 2023, it boggles my mind that MLB would have the Cubs have home games during this week.

I expect most people will be on good behavior, but there's a strong likelihood of tomfoolery happening over the next few days.

Nah, January 6th was a MAGA thing

[Bertz]

I'd guess that the UC and Wrigley are far enough apart that it's not a huge consideration.

[LBiittner]

How many hits & homeruns will javy get in this series? 

I predict 5, with 2 of them being HRs

[chibears55]

This day got off to a good start

Hector Neris is gone DFA and will be released..

Jack Neely (Leiter trade) coming up

 

[cl smooth]

 

[Derwood]

Our long national nightmare is finally over. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Imagine the bullpen just completely falls apart now that Neris is gone

[s2obed]

Weird timing on Neris but whatever

Rumor has it state and capitol police have been assigned to Wrigley. Probably not a huge contingent, but still...

Give him and contending team a chance to be on roster before playoff deadline 

[chibears55]

Didn't realize this was Javy first game back to WF...

 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Hopefully Rizzo will be healthy when the Yankees come in 2 and 1/2 weeks

[Cubbies1996]

And like clockwork Assad walks the lead off hitter

But a fantastic response from him!

[LBiittner]

Assad 21 pitches in the 1st

[JHBulls]

Such a nice moment between the Wrigley Field crowd and Javi.
