Chicago Cubs fans - Rebuilding Year 2023

[FINFAN]

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

I'm thinking we should swap residences....but I'm closer to Wrigley here

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

texted him to see if they got to see it but I don't see "Trophy at The Park" on the home page...

here are the likely roster moves (have another day to tweak if needed now) I figured Tommy was the one.

LaStella goes to Iowa for Jason Heyward activation. Pierce Johnson to triple A for Dylan Floro recall. Johnson prob bummed, he was so excited to be up.

Trophy is there Robin..today at least

For the closer to Wrigley part, I'd swap in a hearbeat.
For the colder than Elsa's toush, not on your life!
I could live there in the summer maybe, but NO WAY I'm enduring a winter there (unless someone were to offer me a salary like JHey's and I could work from home --- I could stay in the heat and have groceries and any other necessities delivered) BRRRRR

Speaking of JHey's salary...I just looked up and he's the 4th highest in the league. He may be good, but sorry, not sure if he's THAT good.

Thanks! I saw it back in January but if we're going to be there early for the flag we will have 3 hours to kill at Wrigley it might be worthwhile to see it again. The nice thing about the Park is that they now allow you to leave the ballpark by that gate and come back at a later time. So, we could go for brunch somewhere and be back in time for the game. Too bad they tore down the Salt and Pepper Diner .

White Sox signed top Cuban prospect Luis Robert. Cardinals and White Sox were top 2 bidders. Apparently Cardinals offered more money but Robert still picked White Sox. Cardinal fans are losing their minds on message boards, hilarious!!!!

Yea in hindsight, it would have been better to pass on JHey and then sign Fowler when he hit FA. That's the way it goes though.

He's THAT good~
His overall skill?

His catch off of Span in San Francisco?

The spiderman catch off of Bauer in the WS?

maybe his speech from game 7?

He's worth every penny

That's worth it for me to keep him at least one more year. Don't get me wrong, I <3 Dex, but JHey earned his ring and his 2017 job with that speech.

if he didn't make that catch in Game 5 off of Bauer, the 3-2 W also maybe doesn't happen...no W game 5? No speech in game 7

 

[Pacolovestacos]

I know JHey came up with a couple big fielding plays in 2016 but I would say the Cubs won in spite of him. He really killed us all year long with his bat. If he has even an average year hitting, Cubs roll through the 2016 playoffs like it ain't no thang.

That being said, he's having a decent start to the year so far. Hope he can maintain it.

HAHAHAHAAHA Cardinals lose again, even after their starting pitcher throws 9 shutout innings! OUCH!!!!!!!! LOL

Here for batting practice. I'm being entertained by a little Baby Brewer playing catch with the bleachers.

This is what I like to see folks. Offense clicking and pitchers shutting it down! Happ still on fire, way to go kid.
