Honestly, it was just an excellent throw.

For some reason this made me think of Major League “no, it’s too high.  Too high.”

Based on a twitter account that posts pictures of players arriving, Tucker and Caissie are both in the building tonight.

It’s been strange seeing M&M jacket dude sitting in the seats behind home plate more times this year at WF than pink hat dude. I read a while ago that apparently PH dude is in a sky box now and that’s why we don’t see him anymore.

I am amazed by how many people hate this team. They are the best team we have had in Chicago since 2018 and all people do is complain about them. I just don’t get it🤷 Yes, they frustrate me too. But they are a good team who had a good year. With no real powerhouse in baseball they have as good a chance as any to go far. And yet there are people who post continually about how bad they are. Maybe watch other teams. Maybe see what they can’t do. Maybe see what the Cubs can do that others can’t do. Again, I get frustrated too. But I watched this team when they won 70 games a year. I watched them when they completely collapsed down the stretch. I sure as hell have no issues watching them now. I know, in the e d they will probably fall short. But no matter what team I was rooting for I would make that statement. When a tournament has 12 teams in it with only 1 winner it is always an easy bet to say your team won’t win. Maybe just try watching and being positive instead of every time a pitcher gives up a run or a batter makes an out with men on base losing your horsefeathers. There is no guarantees that they will be a 90 win team again. Why not enjoy it while it is here? 

As someone who lives in a house full of Tigers fans and has watched them all year, I can safely say it’s best to just enjoy what we have!!

You don’t order an MRI unless there is a reason to order an MRI. 

Not sure how much an MRI is going to tell you about a back anyway.  I remember when I was younger, I have a relative who is an MD and I told him my back was sore.  He told me "everybody's back is sore at some time or another....get used to it."

Now that is rough.

Bases loaded 0 outs, just where they want us

[chopsx9]

Whew...

[chopsx9]

Nico winning a batting title would be okay.

[s2obed]

Moballer is legit with the bat.

[mk49]

Now, Seiya.  The Cubs offense came alive!

[Irrelevant Dude]

This is how you handle bum pitchers.

[chopsx9]

That's so typical, Suzuki takes a 1st pitch that's actually out of the strike zone and it gets called a strike.

[chibears55]

Ballesteros has to be considered as being the DH next season.

Most people want to hate something more than they want to love something these days.

Just replace Ben Browns curve with a changeup and you have Jonah Tong.

Ugh the Kelly K hurts with PCA up vs LHP

edit: nevermind, let’s go! 4 run barrier broken 2 night in a row

He bears a resemblance to Chris Elliott. 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

5 run lead is pretty insurmountable for this struggling Mets club

[chibears55]

Damnn I didn't know the Tigers are just a game away from being knocked out of playoffs all together, a loss by them and Astros wins tonight and they're outside looking in.

Crazy after being up by 11 games just over 2 weeks ago
