Chicago Cubs fans - Rebuilding Year 2023

Funny video, ESPN anchors try not to crack up over ludicrous (but real) Jake Arrieta stats ... and fail:

My favorite stat: Arietta has more no-hitters than losses in the last 26 starts.

FINFAN I don't know if it's true or a hoax, but word on the street is that Busch Stadium banned those "Try Not To Suck" shirts! Maybe the word "suck" hits a little too close to home for the Cards this season

it was true...they ban the word in general . Joe tried to explain that the shirt is directed at themselves..but no go.

That was a bit of a nail biter.

Did you see that Bryce Harper got a little angry on Monday? He was ejected out of the game against the Tigers fin the bottom of the 9th or mouthing out to the ump about a called strike on another player. He didn't stay in the locker room, but came out when the next batter won the game with a home run. While running in to celebrate he looked at the ump and dropped the F-bomb. I was at the game where he was walked SIX times on Sunday and I wonder if he was a little frustrated while he was in Chicago and ... finally just lost it. Tee hee. FWIW, I like Harper. I think he's quite a fire cracker and a great player.

Oh the Nat's were ticked, absolutely. Been calling us chicken etc, our Ace pitcher afraid of him, yadda yadda. Umm, yeah, you want to win so you remove the threat however you can. Dusty was just irritated that it was a smart move (s) and he couldn't do the same. Our whole line up is a threat at bat, was he going to IW them all? I will say when Russell was IW last night I found it ironically stupid that the crowd boo'd. My heart was pounding last night, the lesser threat teams usually end up being the one's we struggle with. This team, so young and all most of them have known is winning~ think they like it, a LOT!
Onward to today's game's~looks like it will stay dry (but chilly) for both. Hendrick's pitching game 1 against Rea (who happens to be on fire right now), Lackey on the mound tonight against Pomeranz.

I found a very cool website today! It has all the "walk up music" for all the MLB players: http://mlbplatemusic.com/team/cubs

Did you know that Ben Zobrist walks up to his wife Julianna's song "Alive"? How cool is that?!?

Yes I did know lol. I *think* it was his song last season with the Royals too. Tommy LaStella has my favorite this season~"Oh What A Night"

 

[FINFAN]

well today didn't go quite as planned lol. What a pitchers duel game 2. Like Rossy says, Turn the page boy's! Day off tomorrow and back to the fun on Thursday!

well I bet you were REALLY rooting the Cub's during the Nat's series. You're welcome

 

[robinb]

Bummer about today. It's the first time all season they lost 2 in a row and it was on the same day. Ugh. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Yep, and I prefer sooner over later in the season, lol. Like Grandpa Rossy says, "turn the page boy's"~ Looking toward Fridays game. (Hopefully without fog?)

Here's hoping Friday the 13th is a lucky one for our Cubbie's! Hammel pitching today against the Buc's ...should be a good series!
