    Season high in attendance today for Cubs. Tom is sleeping on a bed of money tonight
  2. UMFan83
    Cubs with their standard early lead. Will it hold?!!?!

    PTR is pissed that he didn’t save the $800k remaining on his contract

    I still hate that Chicago pulled out of the running to host WC matches, however noble the reasons were. Of the 15 largest metropolitan areas in North America, only Chicago and DC are not hosting and missing out on the global exposure.

    So this happened: Theo must be on another bender.

    Don't pitchers occasionally get dead arms when they are moving around between being a SP and a reliever? Feels like he didn't have his usual command and stuff in those games.

    Cool story about the biggest Dos a Cero with interviews from the players involved. https://www.espn.com/soccer/fifa-world-cup/story/4687330/the-biggest-dos-a-cero-turns-20-how-the-us-win-over-mexico-at-the-2002-world-cup-forever-altered-the-rivalry

    Nope, was just waiting for the game to be on the line Edit: I guess not. Cubs win
  9. UMFan83
    Jennifer Garner, Alfonso Soriano, Gregggggg Berhalter, potentially Theo. Been a great week for celebrities to come watch our team get pulverized. Tom loves realizing how relevant the Cubs can still be despite being terrible at baseball.

    A few tidbits of historical interest
  12. UMFan83
    I mean yes the Cubs suck, but considering we were already pretty thin at SP, it hasn't helped that Stroman, Miley and Smyly have all missed significant portions of time with injuries. Considering all the early leads we've had and blown, this season would not be nearly as dire had those 3 been healthy all year. Still probably under .500 but not bottom of the league terrible.

    Over the last 15 days (since June 2), Frank Schwindel has more pitching appearances for the Cubs (3) than Cubs closer David Robertson (2)

    when i'm in town, i usually park near belmont or montrose harbor and walk to wrigley. Yep, also anything west of Ashland is typically free. Last game I went to I found a free spot just south of Addison and Ashland and made the 10 minute or so walk. If you don't mind walking its not that difficult to find a free spot, especially because the Cubs blow and the park isn't full most nights.

    The Cubs have been outscored 46-14 over their last 3 games (18-4, 12-5, 16-5) Edit: Oh wait I forgot there was a 4-1 loss in there too, so 50-15 over last 4 games. Double Edit: Oh the Padres scored 3 more runs, so 53-14 now.
  16. UMFan83
    highly doubt anyone is getting legitimately worked up over the games. Ahem... ---- Are we really having a discussion here about losing that lead? It just seems like people are angry and venting (which is fine I guess). I would be upset during a season where I thought the Cubs legitimately had a chance to win the division and/or make it to the postseason, but that ain't this year. The Cubs are bad, and I'm trying to take a "glass half-full" approach by telling people about the draft lottery and the chance to get the #1 pick in next year's draft and maybe see Caleb Kilian and some young prospects in the second half. But they are going to lose so many games before we get there and this season will be painful to watch if you're truly invested in every game. The team does suck so much ass and are terrible and all that stuff you quoted. I doubt anyone is losing sleep or feeling any real anger about it.

    I was hoping there was some news about Heyward not getting regular starts again but sounds like he's just sitting against a tough lefty. BORING
  18. UMFan83
    highly doubt anyone is getting legitimately worked up over the games. Does it really matter if a 23-37 team wins or loses any individual game? Of course not, but of course having a 5 run lead and giving up 12 unanswered runs is going to cause discussion on a forum that (at least initially) was designed to discuss the Cubs. I'm pretty apathetic about the cubs right now and I'd imagine I'm not alone. I occasionally have the games on because my kids want to watch but even their interest in waning.

    Finally put one in
  20. UMFan83
    Hendricks - 5 IP, 1 ER Bullpen - 4 IP, 11 ER
  21. UMFan83
    And the Cubs have almost completely blown a 5 run lead in like 10 minutes
  22. UMFan83
    The Cubs are now 2 for their last 59 with RISP, with neither hit driving in a run Edit: 2-60 now. Runner on second gets thrown out trying to advance to 3rd and the next hitter immediately gets a hit lol
  23. UMFan83
    10 total bases in 3 AB now for Willson
  24. UMFan83
    Mine was first!
