He was....he said he was friends with Kirk and would text with him after every Cubs win.  Kirk's wife invited him and they connected due to their shared faith.  🤮

Interested to see what reaction, if any, he gets when he comes up to bat for the first time tonight. 

Did they ask him if he felt it was cool to bail on his teammates?

Shaw should get booed but it won't happen.

I doubt that many people at the game will even know that he missed the game or why.

The Cubs have often tried to get Imanaga an extra day of rest, so why wouldn't they do the same here?  Horton on 6 days rest followed by Imanaga on 5 days rest makes more sense than Imanaga on 4 followed by Horton on 7.  I feel like if they planned on Imanaga to go in Game 1, they would have lined up the rotation differently for this week.

I miscounted, so yea if he starting on Thursday it would make sense then to have him start Game 2 and Horton Game 1.

RCal let hope Sunday game wont be needed to stay ahead of SD because then we are looking at Boyd for Game 1, and if hes still struggling that might not end up well.

Nor should it matter, he went to a friend Memorial at the request of the man widow and got permission to go.

Himmler had a dog, man.  He liked orange juice and Debussy. I miss him everyday.

The online reaction has been overwhelmingly supportive, because most of this country sucks

Not sure if was Amaya or Mo but saw on one of the Beer Vendors  instagram today one of them was getting some work in behind the plate today.

The Brewers are starting someone who hasn’t pitched in the big leagues in 2 years. Better win 4 of our last 6

SD has the bdacks next. If they win 8 in a row and catch the Cubs they deserve to play at home. I would like to win 4 of 6, and they can. But I do think the Padres will lose a game or two. And if they don’t, we might be playing the Dodgers.

I wouldn't say most. 40% is pure MAGA scum but still a lot. Then you have horsefeatherss like the Ricketts who vote fascist because of their taxes

Another series that's blacked out. When will this madness end

[Cubbies1996]

Yep can’t do that

This site has quite a few people shooting off about a man’s death because they have different opinions than him. I could care less about what you believe, but At the end of the day - how about respecting the fact that he was a father, son and friend to others. Oh yeah - and a human being, so either talk baseball or keep your hate filled opinions to yourself. It’s not cool - period. 
 

When I signed up here I was hoping to have discussions about the Cubs - ups, downs and anything else, but about BASEBALL. Not political nonsense. You are the reason this country is divisive. Grow up
