HOOOOT YAY YAY

Lions Super-bowl? horsefeathers YOU JOHN SMOLTZ

My night in Jersey: 1. Went to Fox & Hound, only 2 TVs were showing the Cubs, mostly college football and the rest showing the Rangers. Halloween party after that with no Cubs game sound. 2. Went to Big Shots, same deal. Mostly Rangers. 3. Went to B-Dubs, only 1 TV showing the Cubs near the entrance. horsefeathers that. Back at my hotel to hang out with you fine people and order GrubHub. LETS GOOOOO

I was really hoping to be in Chicago for these games, but unfortunately I had to take a business trip to Jersey for the weekend. Anyone know a good Cubs bar near Perth Amboy?

There's no reason we shouldn't beat these fucks.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/theoval/2016/10/21/obama-meets-bill-murray-calls-his-cubs-jacket-little-troubling/92527316/ there was probably a gopher that the white house needed to get rid of

you think that a few hundred people were there so they might get a chance to catch a home run if one went on the street? What other reason would there be? The atmosphere, potential to get drunk and celebrate

Some people have said that the Cubs are not a good team. I don't know if there's any truth to it. I tell ya, this entire game is rigged. Did anyone else see the game last night? Did you see it when it was a strike --- and it really should have been called a ball --- it was called a strike? And then when it was a ball, and it should have been called a strike, it was called a ball. if that can't convince you that this game is rigged, I don't know what can. I am going to hire a special prosecutor to look into the umpire's situation. Alfonso Marquez will be out of a job soon, and we will make baseball great again.

dear god he makes Steve Trachsel seem like Speedy Gonzalez.

1. Tapworks on Jackson - New sports bar, lots and lots of HDTVs. Would highly recommend this place. 2. Haymarket on Halsted 3. Dugans on Halsted - older pub 4. Jak's Tap on Jackson - older pub/dive bar All those places are walking distance to the UIC-Halsted Blue Line stop and Union Station If you are willing to venture down west on Madison: Crossroads, Old Fifth, Third Rail, Beer Bistro

Oh yeah. That was awful.

Chris Young hit the very first pitch of the game for a HR. Imagine how deflating that is for the Cubs, sure you are down 0-2 but you are back home, its the first playoff game at Wrigley in 4 years, the fans are nuts, you just did your pregame introductions that gives the game that very important feeling, and then boom you are losing already. He needs to make things right by blowing this game. Come on OPR. Similar thing happened in Game 4 in the NLCS year. Daniel Murphy hit a 3-run shot in the first inning of game 4 against Hammel.

Back in 2007, Cubs made the playoffs and faced the D'Backs on the road for Game 1 and 2, lost both. Came home for game 3 with Rich Hill, we put all our hopes on him... And of course, he went 3 innings allowing 3 ER before being pulled. Then the Cubs lost 5-1. That sucked.

I'd be okay if we just won all the non-Kershaw games.
