The Cardinals are always my favorite team to beat, but the Mets are a pretty close second. The White Sox used to be up there but that was only because of Hawk.
horsefeathers St Louis forever and always. The Brewers are nothing but a minor annoyance. St Louis is the great evil. We need to win games to make the playoffs and we’ll have our own chance to sink the Brewers over the next two weeks. They need to win the next two.
Well, considering the Cubs go on the road on Tuesday, this will be a short game thread run, so hopefully they can just avoid getting swept here. 4-2 homestand wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. GO CUBS!!!
Remember in Game 4 when Joe outsmarted Bochy by having Coghlan in the on deck circle to get Bochy to bring in a lefty so he could put Contreras in there instead? That worked out quite well for us.
The Nats series should be interesting. I saw somewhere that they've been playing at a 108 win pace for the last ~80 games or so, and lately their offense has unreal. RD of +44 in their last 10 games and that's with 2 losses in there. On the plus side, we miss Scherzer and Corbin.
I'm a Cub fiend, but come on man. Just enjoy Hawaii and come back to the Cubs in a week or 5. I'm not in Hawaii. My work has an office there and one of the guys who works there is a Cubs fan. He told me he was blacked out from watching this game. I looked on MLB's site and saw it was all the California teams.
artist rendition of the brandon morrow era: I have no idea who we might have used that $10M on, but I'm gonna be pissed about that signing probably forever. It allowed us to see something we’ve never seen before - a pitcher being unavailable the day after throwing only two pitches in a game. That was the game against the Marlins that went like 16 innings last year where Maddon had him warm up 4 times in the bullpen before coming in.
