  1. However, if the Cubs win today they'll be guaranteed to still be in first place when these teams meet again and that would be pretty sweet.
  2. Well if this is directed at me I never said we NEED to win...
  3. We're good. Win today, win tomorrow and the lead's 4.5 which is basically where it was before all the nonsense.
  4. Welp... This will be my last chance this year to make a name for myself. A name that will not be forgotten. Sooo... Simpsons thread? Yeah, Simpsons thread. Look, yesterday we had a chance... But Joe had a little problem... But I’m an optimist. So after Joe either had too much to drink or didn’t drink enough and left Carl in when he’d clearly lost it, I still had hope... But, well... But enough about yesterday. W. Boy I sure I hope I formatted this horsefeathers right.
  5. Pretty cool that we just need Cubs Cole Hamels and Probable Cy Young Scherzer to win their starts today in order for us to gain ground on both the teams chasing us.
  6. What the heck is a "handler" in this context and why are they in the dugout?
  7. Correct answer A friend of mine recently dubbed Maddon "Hippie Ditka" and now I can't get that out of my head.
  8. It's really cool to me how the Cubs bullpen includes the grounds crew/security in their home run games. The two guys playing musical chairs today were the same guys from duck duck goose a couple weeks back.
  9. Am I the only one who's not super worried about this upcoming road trip because the games in Milwaukee feel like home games anyways?
  10. All the jersey colors in this Pirates/Brewers game are awful.
  11. At the Pearl Jam concert last night they showed a clip of David Bote's grand slam and followed it up with a cover of David Bowie's Rebel Rebel.
  12. I didn't see this posted yet, but Bryant actually did some fielding practice before the game yesterday.
  13. The Padres just got another win over a contending team. Maybe we all overreacted last week?
  14. It would feel really good to win this game since Scherzer's waiting for us on Sunday.
  15. Austin Hedges (who killed the Cubs all weekend) just struck out with the bases loaded in MIlwaukee.
  16. Charlie Blackmon with the bases loaded vs. Hader...
  17. I'm glad we have players like Pedro Strop on our team. I feel like Dexter was the same way -- a big morale booster and great all-around teammate. I'll never forget Pedro Strop high-stepping down the line on a Kris Bryant walk off home run.
  18. What does a bump in velocity tell us though? that he's suddenly throwing harder because he's on the Cubs or that hickey helped him adjust something that has given his velocity a big bump/more spin and movement? Couldn't it also be that he's had some extended time off since his last start?
  19. I watched the Thursday afternoon game at a dive bar in the south suburbs which was inexplicably packed with Cubs fans. We all went nuts for the Edmonds grand slam.
  20. I know this doesn't make any sense, but I hate when the Cubs play a team that's on a long losing streak coming in. Makes me feel like the Padres are "due"... Nah, we'll sweep these bums.
  21. Account suspended?
