Did not expect a 3-3 NL West road trip would've ended with the Cubs losing a series against the Giants and winning a series against the Diamondbacks.

Just run through the bag, idiot.

Wife went out for the night, I was able to get the baby to sleep easily, drink and watch a Cubs win. That was fun. My idea of a fun Friday night sure has changed. I'm going to watch Wet Hot American Summer now and drink some more. horsefeathers yeah.

Looks like Brad Markey was promoted to AAA. Underwood only threw 20 balls over his 86 pitches.

Haha, Javy's base running.

Lmao that was awesome.

Wow, who knew pushing Lackey through the heart of the AZ lineup a third time through would've backfired? The managers in this game unnecessarily pushed their SPs and were awarded 3 HR surrendered.

Thanks for letting Walker bat when he was over 100 pitches and then trotting him out against Schwarber.

Why the hell didn't they challenge?

Don't tell TT.

Ohtani might be considering the waiting another year to come to MLB (!): http://www.bleachernation.com/2017/08/11/shohei-otani-might-wait-another-year-to-come-to-mlb-which-could-be-huge-for-the-cubs/

well, if he lights up the rest of this season and wins somebody a world series title he could get paid more. Or for more years.

The Cubs (and Cardinals but who cares about them? Will have a shorter ASB than the other 28 teams next year: [tweet] [/tweet]

Nah, he's in good hands here... Just ignore that I started the Schwarber thread, too. So Mojo is banned from starting any more player threads. Why limit the banning to starting threads?

Pectoral strain.
