There's some defense

Hope Hendricks has a quick easy inning

Well then....

Come on Heyward. Big hit please!

Game 3 at 3:08 central time on Monday

HP: Cory Blaser 1B: Ron Kulpa 2B: Fieldin Culbreth 3B: Laz Diaz LF: Jerry Layne, CC RF: Will Little No idea if that is accurate from the google search

I mean, I'm sure they wanted him to go more than two

Isn't Zobrist the guy they say rarely strikes out?

Is it me or does the sound always suck when it's on ABC?

Nice, Hector.

Hope we can do some damage against their pen to squeeze an inning or two out of the over bums in our pen.

Game day flashed Double during Santanas at bat for some reason. Thought it was over

Keep him on the DL until the playoffs each year.

Of course my first attempt at a thread ever is a duplicate.

I don't post often but didn't see a thread. I am not as witty as most of you so no creative banter. Go cubs!

On fire!

I need to stop dozing off after they get leads. They are always losing when I wake up.

Wow

Jeez...I took a nap when they were up 2-0. What the heck

Nice catch there

Lackey. Uh huh

Seems like some of us are sharing our stories..here is mine. I've always been a Cubs fan, but never really followed baseball (or sports for that matter) until my early teens around the time the Bulls were winning in the 90s. Anyway, I would go to a game or so every year, usually with my church as a 'reward' for being an altar boy. Heck, I even went to a few Sox games for free on National Cancer Survivors day (as I am also a leukemia survivor like some of our Cubbies!). The home run chase of 98 is really something that started my day in, day out following of the Cubs and it just took off from there. 2003....I remember calling my mom from work after they lost game 7...choked up asking her if this is how she felt in 69, 84, etc. I was crushed. I couldn't even watch highlights of game 6/7 for months after. We all know how the next decade or so went. I did go to game 2 of the NLDS in 08. What a stinker! But an awesome experience and environment. That same year, I met my future wife on a random comment from her online saying she saw my picture at Wrigley and she was a Cubs fan too. Years later, I proposed to her on the field itself! (I joked to my Sox friends that SOMEONE from Wrigley should have a ring). We had a Cubs colored themed wedding. It was great! 2015 was a great year and while it didn't end the way we all hoped, it was really a different feeling that despite the disappointment, we were on the cusp of something special and I couldn't wait until this year! My 14 month old son is already catching on. Whenever I watch games or highlights...He knows when to clap when something good happens. He was woken up by our cheering last night and my wife ran into his room...said the Cubs won and he sat up, clapped a couple times, and plopped back asleep! This championship is really the best sports moment of my life....hell, one of the best overall moments. The Cubs are so intertwined into many of my other important life events (see above), it really is amazing. I used to follow another, slower, crappier message board and I just remembered hearing about this one at one point, popped in, and it has been a blast following the interaction the past couple months! Go Cubs!

Still on cloud nine 24 hours later!

Without getting ahead of ourselves...3-1 odds to repeat next year...no one else better than 10-1

I'm new to this place....where is the game 8 thread?
