Chicago Cubs fans - Rebuilding Year 2023

[FINFAN]

Well, part of me says you're right, but a bigger part of me is looking for ways to conserve funds and possibly facilitate a lifestyle change well before the 67-1/2 limit imposed by the gumment.

Along with that, I'm even considering selling my DVC. Just one of many options on the table.

lifestyle change? Going off the grid?

Bummer that both of your vacations fell through . Would you consider renting your points instead of selling? I've been getting between $15 and $17 per point on rentals.

Well, they fell through (or I allowed them to fall) for multiple reasons (lack of vacation time and conserving finances primarily).
Hadn't considered renting, but that could be an option also.

must not coment about JHey in a Dirty Bird's uni.....must overpower with positive thinking...must not comment on Addie with a month of bad luck physically (tho I still think his little side trip to Great America is what re-aggrivated that foot/shoulder)must think positively...
I love them both too...but too soon for me.
When we get to Schwarb's I won't give you a hard time, lol.

What about when we get to Marino's or Santo's?

 

[FINFAN]

well Marino would be Avila,but still one too early~and Santo is after Schwarb's so he's ok...RONNIE IS ALWAYS O.K.

 

[robinb]

Fixed it

much better... I shall edit my post with orig pic as to remove the lingering effect lol

 

[FINFAN]

Tonight's Tony-free lineup~scheduled day off for him. Javy is back~how about we put up a baker's dozen by the 5th and let him rest just a bit more? Let's hope they got yesterday COMPLETELY out of their system and Q has another good game. Zobie...thihkngs still look like they are lingering for him too, Martin can caome in and pinch run..pretty sure that's the main reason he was selected. Speaking of Rizzo day off, selecting catcher Taylor Davis has to be all about backing up Rizzo and KB~ oh, and camera time, lol.
What do you say, Javy? Get the W TONIGHT?

LET'S GO CUB'S!

 

[FINFAN]

I am also requesting that for the rest of the regular and post season NO CUBS receive player of the month/week awards. Both Willy and Jake are named, both sustain injuries immediately. Wait, on that thought process, Javy was robbed of his Player of the Month or week title.


Jake currenlty having MRI done...lets hope it comes back negative on all aspects

 

[FINFAN]

Robin.....you know what I'm gonna say.
That trying to come to grips that even in a pennant race CJ will be left in to continue being groomed as a closer. Pulling Kyle for putting the tie run on, but leaving CJ in after putting 2 on? Lost this W for Kyle. Ump was squeezing for sure, but wow. This hurts. Lets go Red's

Reds up 7-3



MAN...I know we left a boatload of RISP again, and Kyle was a 101 pitches...but uuuuuuugggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

 

[Pacolovestacos]

Cubs bullpen is just full of losers. Absolute trash. Except for Davis.

 

[FINFAN]

news on Jake...grade 1 strain on hamstring. Out 10 days, prob missing 2 starts. Reds bail us out, win 9-3, but here come's STL

 

[FINFAN]

On the human side...Javy super worried about his family in PR with Hurricane Irma bearing down...many player in the same situations I'm sure. Victor and Rene from PR~, AAJ, JonJay, Rizzo, Addie from FL. Priorities

ETA: Around the league

Early line-up again...2nd day w/out Schwarb's starting. Addie one of our best hitter's against Cole...Rizzo and KB up there and Tommy, which is why he is at 2nd tonight. Jon Jay and JHey w/some success. Need to get Q run support early, seems he settles down if he has it, and needs LOTS of it for bullpen buffer.
C'mon Cub's~We Never Quit!

 

[robinb]

Let's get them today Cubbies!

 

[Kewz1]

Praying for everyone in Florida (like my parents!) and in the path of Irma. I'm sure the guys on the team with family in the way are slightly preoccupied with real-life right now.

Come on Cubbies!
