There was an old poster here who would post game threads without fail.  He was of a different generation,  and would use the word horsefeathers in lieu of cursing.   After he passed away,  we began using that word in his memory,  so to speak. 

That’s the reason for horsefeathers? That is really cool. 😄

DANSBY?! 
 

WITH A HOME RUN?!

[mk49]

3 for 3 with RISP.  Dansby!

what's all this horsefeathers thing about? 

couldn't find a fitting emoji so i'm gonna go with this pregnant man🫃

By the way, welcome to the site! Some good folks on here. I like your optimism and positivity. I need more of that in my life lol. This team has me in a bit of a funk, but at the end of the day I freaking love them lol

Lmao 

Hitting with RISP, Swanson goes yard, a 5 run inning, we're witnessing something special here folks 😅😅😅

[Geographyhater8888]

Danny!!!! Looks like the wind blew the horsefeathers out that.

I'm probably reading too much into this but the expression on Dansby's face as he rounded the bases seemed to be somber satisfaction.  Almost as if he was thinking that's nice but it might be too late.

[mk49]

I just checked the Dansby's HR, because the LA looked very steep.  xBA was .030.😁  I'll take that all day.

[chibears55]

Now we're gonna get a whole special on Swanson on how hes changed his game/approach the rest of this game, like they did with Bregman 😅

[JHBulls]

Sullivan should move to Antartica after this. 

[chibears55]

Everyone but Crow getting a hit 😅😅

[chopsx9]

It's got to be awhile since Dansby and Nico have had a hit in the same inning - maybe the same game.

[Derwood]

Don't remember the last time we batted around in an inning

[cl smooth]

I can probably turn this game off now since the Cubs have a comfortable lead. 

[chibears55]

They have 7 hits and hit for the cycle,  and wasted none of them hits, 7 runs scored

[UMFan83]

This is the kind of game where you look at their season BA with RISP and wonder why it’s so high.  4-4 so far today with a sac fly after 3-39 stretch the last several games

I mean,  most games, they score early and call it in the rest of way 🤷

[UMFan83]

In the first 2 games of both of their series vs the Rockies the Cubs were 1-30 with RISP

In the final games of each series they are 8-11 with RISP

Remember, earlier in the season?  Pete and Busch were bad, and everybody else was hitting.  That's how it goes, sometimes.😁

May 7th against the Reds I think they said 

[chibears55]

Why didnt he challenge?

Damn

[Soul]

? Who is feeding Craig his info?

[Geographyhater8888]

Trap. What kind of horsefeathers camera angle did CC have to waive off challenging that?
