Cubs (Imanaga) vs Cardinals (Pallante): 6/26/25, 1:15pm

[JHBulls]

Thanks for helping with the World Series, but stop acting like a douchbag Willson. You’re having a one person argument with yourself. No one wants anything to do with it.

[JHBulls]

So much anxiety because it is the Cardinals. They have pixie dust literally in reserve. 

[squally1313]

Road split against a good team. Totally fine with that. 

[Outshined_One]

That'll do.

[PeanutPunch33]

lol, I love Palencia.  Don't take no horsefeathers 

[Geographyhater8888]

Welcome back Shotah.

[BigSlick]

great way to come back from that when Palencia

 

Misery for the Cardinals. All Glory to the Cubs. 

[JHBulls]

If Javier Baez was still on the Cubs, he would have run up to Willson and tickled him. 

[Jason Ross]

Palencia vs Willson will be fun the rest of the year.

[Derwood]

Looks like I missed a good one. Nice to see back to back shutouts after serving up batting practice for a few games

[Dfan25]

I love Willson time with Cubs , but he is such an idiot 😂

[chibears55]

Palencia is a dude..  W

4 games in St. Louis off the schedule and lose no ground.

Gave up 16 runs the first 2 games and shut them out the next 2, now that how you rebound.

Their pixie dust evaporated when Molina retired.

Good job salvaging that series .Cardinals have to be kicking themselves for blowing it after winning the first two .

96 win pace at the halfway point. 

48th win came on July 21st last year. June 25th for the 2016 team, which is pretty wild. 48-25 at that point, but still.

This time it looked like Palencia barked at him during his celebration, unless he was responding to something WC was saying to him. 😅

“He probably did not need to do that.”   Am I a bad person because I liked it?

I know , but Palencia wasn’t trying to hit him in that situation . Stuff happens . He started talking horsefeathers when he got hit , but can’t take Palencia talking horsefeathers to him after the final out . If you talk horsefeathers , you got to take horsefeathers back .

Cubs cost themselves the 2nd game with the PCA brain cramp and Tallion's implosion.. Played well enough in the series to win 3 but will just have to settle for two wins. Great job by Boyd and Shota...top notch hurling. Keller and Palencia got in a little trouble but came out OK in the end. On to Houston. 

[Cubs206]

Nice to not lose ground and also Shots welcome back. But STHU Karen Contreras lol.  Wild end.  

[jeremym0]

Shota and Boyd were amazing.

[Derwood]

First back to back shutouts since 2016

Contreras had some very positive comments after the game. Said he was not trying to hit me and he apologized for his reaction.
