I'd like to get this to a 2 team race. Get 6-7 games up on the Cardinals/Pirates and let's battle with the Brewers over the next 3.5 months

You guys know Joe Namath guaranteed a win tonight. Since 1969 he's 2 for 2!

3-1 on Rizzo. Bryant takes off for 2nd.. Ball 4 to Rizzo. 3B Franco covers 2B on the steal leaving 3B WIDE OPEN. KB noticed and darted for 3rd and advanced easily.

Now Contreras with a single to left.. 2-0 Cubbies!! Awesome job KB!!!!

KB is a great base runner. His base running was a huge factor in game 7. Go cubs!

I got the espn alert from the Heyward HR. I had to stare for a second to realize what happened haha

CitizunKane · 06-07-2018, 02:04 PM

I was at the game with my wife and daughter. After Morrow gave up the HR, they were itching to leave; I convinced them to wait it out. Glad I did! I figured that once Nola was out (he pitched a very good game), the Cubs would have a decent shot. I just didn't expect Hayward to be the one to do the damage (on a 2-2 pitch, no less).

Chatwood only 7 walks today in 4.2 innings, his control is improving

It’s only a matter of time before Montgomery takes his spot. He’s posting around a 1.80 WHIP no idea how he has a sub 4 ERA

Probably once Darvish is back. He has proved he belongs in the rotation.

texmcpherson · 06-08-2018, 04:48 PM

INSANE catch by Happ to end the game.

Fly the W

Wrigs37 · 06-09-2018, 04:03 PM

Fun team to watch right now! Let’s sweep this thing up tomorrow and bring on the Brew Crew...

texmcpherson · 06-09-2018, 05:13 PM

4 in a row

Lester is nails

glassnickels · 06-10-2018, 02:27 PM

awesome surprise from my season ticket rep. He told me he will try to get me more. Bryant is #12 so I wonder how many there are.

Love that 1983 set. (Recently bought all the singles on eBay.) Nice to have a “Season Ticket Holder” version of it.

texmcpherson · 06-10-2018, 07:45 PM

Brewers lost

Cardinals lost

Today was an... okay day

seabass97166 · 06-11-2018, 11:06 PM

HUGE statement W tonight vs Milw.
Tied up game in 8th vs Hader
Rizzo moon shot in top 11
Great relief pitching and didn’t have to use Morrow as they busted it open in extras 7-2

Heyward continues his nice bounce back season with 3 more hits including the clutch single vs Hader

Ferg1945 · 06-15-2018, 08:07 PM

Ian Happ - HOME RUN!!!!

Albert Almora - Single

Kris Bryant - 2-RUN HOME RUN!!!!!!!

3-0 Cubbies

Ferg1945 · 06-15-2018, 08:09 PM

KB made an error in the bottom of the 2nd. Lester got out of it.

After KB drilled that HR he went str8 to Lester in the dugout.

Lovin' it... 31 day homerless streak, SNAPPED!!!

Ferg1945 · 06-15-2018, 08:19 PM

RUSSELL!!!! WTF DUDE!!!!!!

That's two recently that you took your time on and runner was safe.

Michael Wacha???

Pablo Sandoval???

2 guys who should NEVER beat out a ball hit to short.

Russell is turning into what Heyward was minus this season. Minus defense.

AVG & OBP is good

Not hitting for power

Lazy defensive plays

The guy you turn your head to when they're up in the order

texmcpherson · 06-15-2018, 08:28 PM

But hey, BRAPP make it 3-0!
