  1. Stroman had 2 starts with 5+ ER last year in 33 starts. Today is his 3rd in 9 starts
  2. Yes the 4th quarter was a bit flukey but Boston is just the better team. Crazy that people still don’t believe in them
  3. Crazy thoughts going through my head like “what if OP is a time traveler and he used his powers to reveal this information to a smallish group of jaded Cubs fans”
  4. Come on Givens don’t blow this
  5. I'm saying Celtics in 6 because they've been the best team in the league since January and Boston wins everything in sports.
  6. I hate that there is one moment that I immediately think of whenever I think of Marion Barber. In reality he was an absolute beast at Minnesota and the Cowboys, and despite obvious issues at the end of his life he led humanitarian efforts off the field based on what I've read about him. Definitely gone way too soon.
  7. I could be wrong but I think every team has a similar stretch this year due to having to reschedule the first week of games this year. In this case both DH this week are replacing games from that 1st week
  8. I can’t believe they are just going to trade away Willson. Much credit to him for being a vocal leader on the team despite knowing he probably won’t be here in August. They showed him on the on base circle motioning for morel to slow down and breathe before his sac fly. The young players in general seem to love him, it will be tough to see him dealt away
  9. Future division champion Chicago Cubs win again
  10. Makeup call. [expletive] Edit: BALL DONT LIE
  11. Either way that was a world class penalty drawn
  12. Fantastic work by Pulisic wow
  13. Really looking forward to finding out who the 4th team is in our group over the next couple of days. Hoping for Scotland right? Guessing not Wales.
  14. 11 game hit streak and reaching base in all 14 games he’s played so far is pretty impressive
  15. Morel hits a triple. During a Brewers mound visit afterwards, he leaves the base, walks to the Cubs dugout and celebrates with the other Cubs players lol
  16. Not that it would have affected this particular play but wtf is Frazier doing out there? On that 3 run double down the line, I assumed the ball was foul based on the way he was half heartedly jogging to the ball.
  17. The only way this is true is if PTR got a great deal for a refurbished PS4 and a used copy of Tom Clancy's The Division for the clubhouse.
  18. Good for him, go chase that ring! Tampa is a team that could definitely benefit from Hicks but also not be doomed when he gets injured as he tends to do.
  19. Kinda funny...the Cubs are 4-13 in one run games. While talent and ability play a part in it, it can also be kind of flukey. Imagine if they were 13-4 in one run games...they'd be in the thick of the race. We're also to the part of the season where (i think) pythag record has some validity to it. The Cubs are -8 in RD for the season. Are they really a .500 team that's underachieved? By no means am I saying they are good, and really I hate this stupid team, but somewhat interesting to think about
  20. Worst home winning % in baseball: Athletics .280 Cubs .292 Nationals .333 Royals .348 the A's are very similar to the Cubs. 7-18 at home, 13-13 on the road while the Cubs are 7-17 at home and 12-12 on the road.
  21. I can't get mad about that one. It was a fraction of an inch off the plate and could go either way. yeah but it comes while the Cubs are the 2nd most screwed over teams in baseball this year with regards to balls and strikes. Can't seem to get any breaks. But yeah Nico should have swung at it.
  22. I’d say he’s in over his head but it’s his 3rd season lol
  23. This is getting ridiculous with the umps. Nico should have swung with 2 strikes but it was a ball. Cubs load the bases with 0 outs down 1 and don’t score
  24. Cubs are just falling apart with injuries lol
