Strikeout, walk, walk, double. That's how you get a scoreless inning! -
Haha he's so bad at baseball
-
Maddon playing "Screw (the Cardinals) Closer." How many runs goes he have to give up to be DFA'd? Is it worth rooting for a loss to the Cardinals and loss of RD?
-
can we pinch hit arrieta instead of montero? I actually forgot about Coghlan who will almost certainly be the giy
-
It's like shocking to see us gun out a runner
-
Russell, Almora, and Montero? In the 9th. Suddenly I don't feel so great about this game
-
horsefeathers. 1st and 2nd with 0 outs vs bases empty with 2 outs. All in the decision to swing at ball 4.
-
Fun fact about Oh: He has allowed 7 ER in 35.2 IP. 5 of those ER have come against the Cubs.
-
Ugh swing that Scissors
-
Willson took lackeys wife to chemo treatments after the divorce
-
Rizzo protecting the way outside because it might be called a strike
-
Inconsistent zone blue
-
For his career Heyward hits righties about 150 points of OPS higher than lefties This year though he's hitting lefties about 130 points higher than righties. Weird
-
C ERA going up!
-
Lackey is gonna have a short outing with this pitch count.
-
Dammit. I mean it's good because we get young guys at bats and we are so far up that we can afford to give him all the time he needs, but I love me some Dex

Ron Coomer calling the HR: Look at the hat on that fan in CF. *chuckles* Gosh, it is like a sombrero with a Cubs logo, as contreras hits a lazy fly ball softly to leftish right centerfield....the pirates fielder camps under it and cant make the play. And that will bring up Addison, who is 0-2 with a strikeout tonight. Judd Sirrot calling the HR: And HERE COMES Contreras. SCHUGEL THROWS BACK TO FIRST AND JAVY BARELY GETS BACK IN. Contreras is making his first MAJOR LEAGUE at bat tonight. HES GETTING A STANDING OVATION FROM THIS CROWD WHAT A SCENE CONTRERAS HITS ONE DEEP TO CENTER FIELD AND THE BALL IS TRAVELING A FAR WAY AND ITS GONE WOW A HOME RUN AND THE FANS ARE GOING ABSOLUTELY NUTS!!!!

Looking at that lineup, there is only 1 person that was on the Cubs roster on Opening Day 2015 against the Cardinals (Rizzo). Just a reminder, that lineup was Fowler, CF (hurt today) Soler, RF (now a LF and on the DL) Rizzo, 1B (starting tonight) Castro, SS (now a 2B and sub replacement level for the Yankees) Coghlan, LF (discarded and then brought back to be our 5th OF) Olt, 3B (blind) Ross, C (still Lester's backup guy but infinitely more awesome in the eyes of Cubs fans) Lester, P (now 2nd best pitcher) LaStella, 2B (clubbed by poachers; on DL)
-
I've heard talk of Rizzo's struggles against leftys earlier this year.... he is now up to .797 OPS against them for the season after being somewhere in the .500's about a month ago.
-
Much respect to Logan for the streak, but a) Who puts the Cardinals TV station in the Game Thread title? b) And among those people, who would put that FIRST? I don't care which local station St Louis fans will turn to in order to watch their team get beat down.

Other Games - Week of June 13

Nats and Giants are both very good teams. If the Giants top 3 continues to pitch like this into October they will be really tough, but I don't think either team is a true challenger for the Cubs in the "Best team in baseball" discussion, and in October it is a weighted crapshoot anyways so it doesn't matter. -
I love Soler and I still think he can be an absolute monster, but I think if you can trade for one of the top 5 relievers in baseball, who is under contract for 2 more years after this one, and he happens to be lefty which is maybe our biggest weakness (LHP in the pen), you have to strongly consider it.

Just looking at some of the Cardinals internet reactions to this series, over the last year their perception of things has changed: April 2015 - Yeah the Cubs are going to be scary, good for them but we still run this division October 2015 - Good season Cubs but this is the postseason now, its our time to shine and yours to fall on your faces April 2016 - Should be a good season but I am not convinced the Cubs are ready to win this division, can't wait to get our shots at them June 2016 - Mother horsefeathers we have to play the horsefeathering Cubs again? FML we can't fall too much farther behind the Wild Card

David Ross is awesome and deserves his own thread
UMFan83 replied to Cubfanintheknow's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It definitely helps that he has a 1.4 WAR this year....Wait he has a 1.4 WAR this year? And its not completely held up by defense? Awesome. -
Holy crap I thought the same thing.
