Chicago Cubs fans - Rebuilding Year 2023

Watched it. Wow.

You know that I was worrying last year about (1) the dugouts being moved down the line and (2) the netting going to the end of the dugout. I have been to 2 day games and the netting was slightly annoying but I could live with it. I was at my first night game and I HATE HATE HATE the netting. The light reflects off of it and completely ruins my view. I am so freaking angry. I *know* that it was done for safety but you would think that they could add netting without messing things completely up.

It's like watching the game through a blurry, dirty window. Ugh.

Wow, that's a huge difference, Robin. A real bummer for saure.

VIC-tory!!!!!!!!!! we won a game after scoring a boat load the night before!!!!!!!

that bullpen thing worked out pretty well! Bote with the 2b RBI's to get us on the board! Thank you KB for deploying the Gazelle to home~ there were no arms left for extra's.
A'ight Willy..out to have Victor's back (Vic coulda taken that guy)

That “brawl” was hysterical! And Willy was looking for a fight...

Happy for the win! Thanks, Cubbies!

STL losing streak confirmed. However, Brewers win and Buccos about to. We have possession of 3rd for about 5 more minutes, lol

omg, lol.....I was saying during the stretch that Kerry Wood's kids are cute, and the littlest looks like she's going to be a knockout when shes older..then I see THIS!(watch until the video moves)

Evil may have crossed Wrigley Field

Need to erase that with a nicer image

That was a nice win all around. Q then off day. Should be rested and good for weekend series if rain doesn’t mess it up.

And Joe was probably like a kid in the candy store getting to bounce pitchers/PH in and out all night, lol. Nobody got overused

kind of explains the stress Addie looks like he's under

Almora may not be with his buddy for long tho...be careful what you wish for there.

She was the tiny one? Too cute!

So we have the photobombing daughter and then the son who kept interrupting (didn’t think mic was working) as he was trying to sing during the stretch. Maybe the Woods kids don’t get invited back next time.

I was wondering where his wife was in the booth...she knew better, lol

LETS GO FOR THE SWEEP!!!!!!!!!
DEB&BILL...this one is live streaming on twitter for out of market if you are still at WDW

Out. No team flags today with possible 40+ mph wind gusts on the horizon. 1p @WGNTV.

 

[Deb & Bill]

We'e been watching clips on MLB television. Loved the video of the "brawl".

 

[FINFAN]

31 runs scored in 3 games! Cubs put up the only kind of snowman I like in May in that 3rd..what a conga line! I know it was against the Marlin's but they had won 4 series up till us. Let's keep it rollin' boy's!

Anthony's Cook Out for Cancer is tonight and they actually have the day off tomorrow ( last year they has a make up game, I remember Lester pitched after tending bar the night before ....) so I expect some FUN to be had!(Maybe it should be a fish fry? lol)
So happy for Addie, just missed that cycle. Willy (first Cubs catcher since 1976 to hit 2 triples in a game) and our boy KB hitting his 100TH HR EXACTLY 3 YEARS TO THE DATE OF HIS FIRST!


Brewers lose, STL day off, stupid Buccos edged out the Sux 6-5

ETA: I didn't see the game,(dvr'd) was listening and I just saw the absolute CRAP calls the Ump made on Hancok, literally robbing him of his first MLB at bat..and then on Javy. Javy keeping his cool was amazing. That Ump...just criminal.

 

[Kewz1]

It was a fun game!

I started to cheer when Hancock got the walk - and then realized that 4th ball was called a "strike." Even Len and JD commented on the call.

Hope they all enjoy the day off and come back ready for more sweeping!
