Chicago Cubs fans - Rebuilding Year 2023

I have my Chicago pizza ready to pop in the oven around gametime

Thick or thin? Pan or stuffed?

Edwardo's stuffed for last night. I might grab an Uno's tonight for extra good luck.

Did you see this? Bill Murray gave a random Cubs fan a ticket to sit RIGHT NEXT TO HIM!

I posted this on the World Series thread but thought that I'd post this here too. Brings a tear to your eye if you're a Cubs fan

Great song, but I can't watch that right now.

I've been listening to the Cubs Walk-Up songs on Spotify. They sure have to do some fancy editing to make them child friendly at the ballpark. I found the link on the Cubs website. Frankly, I was shocked that they put the songs together and linked to them. The lyrics are pretty vulgar.

First off, good luck tonight! We will be watching from Boston!

Second, I don't know if anyone saw this, but it's a nice article that shows the cameraderie of a lot of these players, even though they're on different teams. Many of them have played together here and there as they were coming up the ranks. This group is from Puerto Rico.

I also look at Lester and Francona and know how much they love and care about eachother, as well as others on these two teams. I remember when Jon Lester was diagnosed with lymphoma his rookie year. Everyone here at the time was devastated. So nice to see him in such good health and form now.

Funny thing about us Cubs fans. If the team loses tonite, we will be crying. However, if we win tonite, we will also be crying.

GO CUBS GO

GO CUBS GO

HEY CHICAGO WHAT DO YOU SAY?

THE CUBS ARE GONNA WIN TODAY!!!!!!

Sending my support from New York! <3

Are you even a Cubs fan?? The Cubs are playing GAME 7 in the WORLD SERIES and your talking about Maddon's "first mistake?"

Really???

Probably a bigger Cubs fan than you. Being a fan doesn't mean just going "rah rah rah" even after mistakes are made. If a bad decision is made, it should be questioned, especially for a manager. Almost the entire world disagrees with using Chapman the way he did last night. And he's rightfully taking heat for it.

Ok Red Sox nation here but HR. Go Cubbies!!!!

 

[Pacolovestacos]

Baez with the HR. Thank God because those errors were inexcusable.

 

[xjillianpaige]

Red Sox Nation here rooting for the Cubs!

 

[porschegrl]

Again, I have no idea why Baez is playing right now.

There's why

 

[xjillianpaige]

There's why

I can't believe it. I read this thread and see the comment about Baez. I turn on the game. Baez hits a homer.

 

[Pacolovestacos]

Joe Maddon, you friggin idiot!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING???????????

Hendricks was cruising and got screwed by the ump on that ball call.

 

[macraven]

 

[barbaraann]

6 outs away.

I thought Hendricks should have at least finished the inning.

 

[Pacolovestacos]

Congratulations Joe Maddon. You just blew the 2016 World Series!
