Chicago Cubs fans - Rebuilding Year 2023

[FINFAN]

well, Schwarb's had that awesome grab in left, but then made the throw in the 6th when should've just held it..but you learn by doing right? The weather for for sure, a factor. Even before the rains hit hard, the wind blew in both Riz and Schwarb's fly balls, or was it Happ's? He had that throwing error too. Brewers with errors as well, just a miserable day for a game.

ETA: I forgot Zobie's awesome diving grab! That was for you Kewz! Lucky kid who got to play catch with Willy too...this team, just the best

here's Willy playing catch..how do you NOT love him?

What a difference a rain delay makes. Sorry we gave up so many runs earlier on. Really thought we had this one.

Bless those fans that stuck it out!

Some rain delays are better than others.

It was nice watching on MLB-TV with Chicago announcers including Kerry Wood instead of ESPN or FOX guys .

Love the video of Contreras playing catch with the kid in the stands. Awesome!

 

[Pacolovestacos]

Hahahahaha @ Stl, brutal loss.

 

[FINFAN]

If the games happens...Javy out, JHey, Happ in.

Pretty sure this is the first time for Schwarber in the 2 spot~interesting

 

[Pacolovestacos]

Man, weather around here sucks so bad lately.

Looking at the radar (and I am chatting with the security guard at our hospital who is filling me in on his radar report) ~ sounds like the game might get in if they upped the start to around noon or later and try to get it in by 3:30 ish.. but they really can't start it early Will be interesting as to what the MLB does, especially after yesterdays bad decision.

now security guy saying should have a decent window between 1-3:30..then strong band moving thru at 4, should be ok again by 5:30...gottas score early and a lot, lol...so basically the same as any other game

Man, weather around here sucks so bad lately.

No storms up here, but VERY misty and cold. Brrrrr.

 

[robinb]

As expected, today's game has been postponed.

they are only about 24 hours too late with that call lol.my brother is there..waiting to hear on make up game ...and check out the trophy

 

[FINFAN]

Speaking of the trophy...Ok so I am superstitious with the Cubs (duh)but ever since Theo's decision to let the trophy go crowd surfing in Boston..and then it's damage...been a overload of rotten luck other than the Reds series. I wasn't thrilled when I read about it happening and yeah they fixed it but if I was a player that would have bummed me out..a lot.

No storms up here, but VERY misty and cold. Brrrrr.

It's hotter than hades down here... and summer hasn't even arrived yet. Send some coolness my way please!

 

[docsoliday1]

All dozens of them! Javy got on base and was like, "Crap! I'm cold!"

All dozens of them is right ....I was telling DW how they were panning on players and I saw almost all empty green seats.

 

[docsoliday1]

If the games happens...Javy out, JHey, Happ in.

If they don't win it's a shame!

 

[docsoliday1]

Anyone know if they're going to play? It looks like the rain has passed, but I'm seeing no indication online.

 

[FINFAN]

make up scheduled for Thursday 7/6 @ 1:20..what a perfect reason to extend the July 4th Holiday!

Is the trophy at Wrigley? We need to plan to be there tomorrow at 10:00 am to get our NL Pennant flags.
