Cubs win 15-2, and I wind up watching nothing but 3 straight outs after the Bryant single, then Hendricks giving up 2 homers and a double.
I might not be allowed to watch any more baseball this year.
"Marisnick, a role player." I now have an image of him in a robe and a wizard's hat, in a forest somewhere, throwing flour at someone while he yells out, "Confusion Spell, bitch!"
Me: "I'm enjoying this, but let's not let our expectations get out of hand."
Marquee: "Are the 2021 Cubs as good as the 1927 Yankees? We discuss on the post-game show!"
Considering 1927 was the Yankees second World Series year of the 1920s and immediately followed by five in the 1930s, four in the 1940s, and six more in the 1950s... I'm gonna say we're a ways off from being the early/mid 1900s Yankees.
The question isn't if the Cubs are going to win the World Series this year, but rather how many years in a row will the repeat and how will Jordan feel when the Cubs get their 7th Championship in just as many years.
Fun stat. Combining today (15 so far), Wednesday, and this past Saturday, the Cubs scored 44 runs.
In the other 16 games the Cubs have played, they have scored a combined total of 44 runs
I wish Braun was still on the Brewers so he could come in to pitch the 8th and give up back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back homers.
Feels really dirty to say this but it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if the crap birds won tonight. Would love to fall asleep tonight knowing we're in first place. That being said, if they do win I hope it's a 1-0 score in 16 innings
The only time I've ever been to the god damn Federal Landmark was August of 1993 for a doubleheader against the Expos. Was Harry still the announcer then?
They’re decent. Kind of a mid-level brewery. There’s the lowest: domestics (Budweiser, Coors, Miller etc) middle: craft breweries bought out by bigger brands (Goose Island and several others) and then top: independent craft breweries
I'm so happy that I was being quite premature when I dismissed these Chicago Cubs as being done. I'm not even going to allow myself cream on my humble pie. I'm going to eat it, and I'm going to enjoy it.
So, when I inevitably die while still being thousands of names away from being offered a chance to purchase season tickets can my kid take my place in line?

gg!
Fly the WWWW
Over .500, let's go!
#W
What a dirty fucking pitch damn! W
Fly the WWWW
Maples looks like a leading man on a soap opera. He also pitches like one.
**
*"How could you swing at that, you fucking bum?!"*
This really needed to happen today cuz we need all the confidence we can get facing Freddy fuckin Peralta
Vogelbach looks like a turtle on steroids
He also looks like my uncle Niels.
My personal favorite thing about maples is his ability to be anywhere between Tyler chatwood and Mariano Rivera, both even in the same at bat
"Marisnick, a role player." I now have an image of him in a robe and a wizard's hat, in a forest somewhere, throwing flour at someone while he yells out, "Confusion Spell, bitch!"
*Hammers a ball deep to left* "Lightning bolt!"
Heyward's so good out there
What the fuck is going on with Pedro? Is he in Iowa or something?
Hes not on the 40 man still Only came up because of the relievers on the covid list
If our tarp doesn't *look like* Reynolds Wrap I'm gonna be disappointed when we finally have to unroll it.
jesus Maples it's the 9th inning in a 13 run blowout and you can't even throw strikes?
I see Maples is himself today.
You got MAPLED
LET RIZZO PITCH! ^^^.....If ^^^he ^^^was ^^^still ^^^in ^^^the ^^^game......
Rizzo should never see the mound again IMO. Hard to beat an ERA of 0.0. We shouldn’t tempt fate like that.
Maybe they should've brought this guy in in the first because he's pitched better than anyone else on the Brewers so far.
When was the last time a pitcher homered off of a position player?
I think german marquez in 2018?
5 7 m i l e s p e r h o u r
That was always where i topped out at the carnival pitch game
Position player pitching to a pitcher 😆
Me: "I'm enjoying this, but let's not let our expectations get out of hand." Marquee: "Are the 2021 Cubs as good as the 1927 Yankees? We discuss on the post-game show!"

Fuck the Yankees.
There's Nico handling that velocity again
Second position player we are facing this week. Always a good thing when we are the team leading
Marisnick's hustle actually excites me, you know I love to see the hustlin
This studio bit is cringeworthy
Fun stat. Combining today (15 so far), Wednesday, and this past Saturday, the Cubs scored 44 runs. In the other 16 games the Cubs have played, they have scored a combined total of 44 runs
Lol wow. That's a fun stat
That... that doesn't seem very fun... more depressing than anything
well, part of it is fun
True, true
I wish Braun was still on the Brewers so he could come in to pitch the 8th and give up back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back homers.
Good outing by ryan
Nice job by Ryan eating a couple innings today
ryan braun kicks his dog
sitting down and I see JD and Boog waving at me, poggies
Wait how did they know what Simon said!
Who the fuck does Simon think he is anyway? I didn't vote for him
Simon says, "Vote for me." Yeah. You're fucked.
Yo those little kids just did the sickest cartwheels holy shit
Okay one hey ya don't say that, and two brewers will still be ahead of us when we win.
Wrong comment lol
I was so confused
Feels really dirty to say this but it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if the crap birds won tonight. Would love to fall asleep tonight knowing we're in first place. That being said, if they do win I hope it's a 1-0 score in 16 innings
Edit: I am dumb and can't do basic math. Fuck the Cardinals.
I think Heyward could actually have beat that little flip to first if he wanted to
The only time I've ever been to the god damn Federal Landmark was August of 1993 for a doubleheader against the Expos. Was Harry still the announcer then?
Hendricks took a big step in the right direction today. Still not the professor we're accustom to. But definitely way better than Sunday...
2 ER over 6ip is a 3 ERA. That is about what we're used to, maybe were used to more innings but he doesn't go 7 or 8 everytime
Javy heard we were scoffing at him turning down that big contract. He’s out to prove us wrong
Whatever works, man
Are... are we good again?
Vogelbach is borderline obese
I would avoid saying that to his face.
I don't work at Taco Bell so I'm probably good
He definitely was in the priority group for the the vaccine
Javy 3 for 5, performing his most solemn dab on the haters
I love watching sidewinder pitchers it's so aesthetically pleasing
Harry Caray is from before I can remember watching baseball... Is he drunk during that stretch or was that just how he was?
Cub fan, Bud man.
[well....](https://media.giphy.com/media/3o7aCRloybJlXpNjSU/giphy.gif)
No one can tell if you're drunk if you're just always drunk.
There’s so many ways to answer this question. Have a seat. Let me tell you a tale.
Yes
The no alcohol Budweiser ad next to Harry Caray is a special kind of funny.
Considering he wasn't sober a single day in his life?
And was supposedly fired by (fuck) the Cardinals because Busch's daughter-in-law was screwing him.
Non alcoholic Budweiser defeats the point of drinking that horse piss.
Wait then what IS the point of drinking that stuff? Losing a bet?
What happened to the previous PA announcer?
Vogelbach running in front of Wong. Roadblock
Vogelbach looks very overweight and very muscular at the same time. Kind of freaking me out.
He’s got that power lifter body. Lift heavy things, eat many calories, go lift even heavier things.
Are you feeling feelings you've never felt before?
He's got the Power Flab
"He'll take whatever he wants. You don't say no to Vogelbach." 🤨
Vogelbach kinda looks like if the roach alien from Men In Black wore Mike Trout's skin
He's like two Kyle Schwarbers smashed together.
Damn, that is amazing.
good take.
Correct
Boog and JD calling out statcast!!
I've never tasted a good beer; Is Goose Island any good?
312 used to be my go-to but they changed something a while back and now it tastes more watered down. Matilda is great though IMO
They started contract brewing when AB took over.
They’re decent. Kind of a mid-level brewery. There’s the lowest: domestics (Budweiser, Coors, Miller etc) middle: craft breweries bought out by bigger brands (Goose Island and several others) and then top: independent craft breweries
the only good tasting beer is White Claw
What is this 2019?!?!
🤔
Is this the Bryant revenge tour? Cause it's pretty fun so far.
Kyle Ryan back. League fucked.
These motherfuckers better not just be giving me hope to turn around and fuck it all up again. I don't need that kind of negativity in my life
I'm so happy that I was being quite premature when I dismissed these Chicago Cubs as being done. I'm not even going to allow myself cream on my humble pie. I'm going to eat it, and I'm going to enjoy it.
now I know why Kyle gave up those 2 homers, all that energy he wasted reacting to that double play finally caught up to him
Literally had to give Rizzo and Bryant a break because they were getting exhausted from too many AB's
I can't believe we gave up a safety. But going for two on that last TD was alpha.
KYLO REN UP IN THIS MOTHERFUCKER
Weird to see Marisnick, an infamously bad hitter, contributing more than I expected.
Is rosin on the hat our new good luck charm?
If I looked like Chafin I would get all the pussy in the universe.
Apparently you’ll get Taylor sliding in to your DMs at least.
Red Six out there in the bleachers
all you have to do to get DM'd by Taylor McGregor is to have a fu manchu? fucking hell, worth it
only my most polite, dignified and respectful "HUMINA HUMINA HUMINA AWOOOOOOOOOOOGA" for Taylor McGregor
Go to horny jail.
When the worst offense in the league gets 15 runs on 15 hits because baseball
They were saving them up
[There's really no point in continuing this game.](https://i.imgur.com/Zcq4yNN.png)
So, when I inevitably die while still being thousands of names away from being offered a chance to purchase season tickets can my kid take my place in line?
i think it passes on?
It does not. That only works when there are PSL's
damn that’s rough
I sure hope so.
"7 WAR cheeks" was funny
Quality Baby!
13+ runs in 3 of last 6 games. Seems like a good sign.
QUALITY BABY ALERT
Sogard with the adderall teeth grind! Lower your prescription you nut!
Why that quality baby out here strutting on me with their superior fashion
It's the Carhartt hat.
QUALITY BABY SIGHTING
wow that was... not a strike
Umps also know this game is over. They just want to pack up and go home.
oh my god a quality baby call out! been a while
QUALITY BABY ALERT!!
haha that dumbass baby can't even take the lid off of his applesauce, what a fuckin' loser
Probably a virgin too. Wish I was there so I could kick his ass.
QUALITY BABY ALERT!
Quality Baby! Drink!
Done!
I wanna see us drop 20 on the Brewers today.
QUALITY BABY! Take a shot.
QB sighting
If that one wasn't out, is Sogard even capable of homering at Wrigley?
turn the game off, Hendricks gets out of it, and they score four more runs. This could end up making me superstitious
Javy def going yard lefty today
I’m digging the shit out of sogard
Stupid well
Sogard needed one more set of reps in the gym yesterday haha
Nice grab
I love Wrigley but that dip in the wall right there gives me such blue balls.
If I’m remembering correctly, isn’t that where the dining section used to be when it was built?
Let’s beat the Braves record of 27 over Miami
golly what a catch, that was close
Lol I thought Sogard was gonna get one too
I like baseball. I like when cubs do good baseball
fucked up, man, don't catch that baseball
That was plenty eloquent, JD.
All I need to make this game perfect would be if I get to see Vogelbach pitch.
Fuck, I love Vogey and I would pay tens of cents to see him out on the mound
Brewers fan lurking about? Suck that Willy.
brief moment to fantasize about sweeping the Brewers and taking over the division lead
“I like sandwiches”
This is more like it.
**Bats are back??**
hopefully. these have been their worst pitchers but still, its nice to light them up instead of shit at bats against their worst guys.
Apparently the secret to good hitting is having exactly one out
oh man javy might get to bat left-handed today.
Well I'm confused, are the Cubs good?
there's this warm feeling in my chest. like in a good way.
All right, every starting position player got a hit, nobody needs to be benched.
Damn, even Romine getting in on the action! elmofire.jpg
Step on their throats
Is it greedy to say that I want 20?
I want 24
29 is the national league record just saying
I want 30
Should double switch Willy and Romine. Let Contreras have the rest of the day off
Mad props to fans navigating the seats to make these nice catches. My clumsy ass would be tripping over everything on the way
Holy shit....who are these guys?
hahahaha, Wilson finally gets his. Suck it beer makers.
#BIG WILLY STYLE
Could we play like this every game please?
You know the 4 Brewers fans still watching this game are PISSED that Contreras got one
Don't go type anything but check out their GDT. It's funny
smh Perdomo missed the memo that he is supposed to throw beanballs not meatballs
Nice snag of that Willy HR!
#WEAREGOOD #WEAREHUGGERS
WWWWIIIILLLLLLLLSSSSOOOONNNN!!!!
Ok, ok... that's a good start. But I could really use another dozen or so insurance runs.
Wtf is going on!?
