2006Coltsbestever Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Cubs have a much needed day off. They could get back into 1st place in the NL Central by %points even without playing. The pesky Brewers play the Twins tonight so we will see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Coltsbestever Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Cubs have now won 5 in a row, 48-35 on the season. Once again just a half game out of 1st in the NL Central behind the BrewCrew who are 49-35. Fly the flag Gozer, Cubs defeat the Tigers 5-3. I am going to watch the Postgame show so hopefully I can give you guys an update on Kris Bryant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Coltsbestever Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Kris Bryant likely to play Friday vs Cincy! That is great news. He is nearly 100% healthy per Joe Maddon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Cubs are up 5-2 in the 8th. Baez stole home earlier, that guy is lightning fast! Who says we are just a power hitting team? Baez reminded me of Willie Mays Hayes in Major League on that play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I was doing some research and this is the best 4 season stretch that the Cubs have ever had since the merger in 1947 when African Americans were allowed to play in the MLB. Take a look: 2015 = 97-65 (Made the NLCS as a Wildcard) 2016 = 103-58 (Won the WS as #1 Seeded Division Champs) 2017 = 92-70 (Made the NLCS as #3 Seeded Division Champs) 2018 = 49-35 so far this season (Currently a Wildcard team) Totals: 341-228 59.9% winnings - 4 seasons in a row, win 60% of your games! 3 NLCS Appearances 2 Division Championships 1 WS Appearance 1 WS Championship -It will never get better than this for us Cubs fans so lets not take it for granted. It would be so sweet if we can win at least 1 more WS with our same core group. If it doesn't happen at least we did get 1 during this run. I am just going to kick back and see how 2018 ends up . -Here's how clueless some of the Posters are over at ESPN. William Bryant Posted "Let's see what cubs can do against a good ." That was the exact quote but I am sure he meant good team. I would say like go 8-3 vs the Brewers so far . They have the worst Posters in the world over there. Now days there are only like 10 Posts too on the Game Thread's and if the Cubs lose the same 3 Trolls always pop up. ESPN has went so down hill on their Convo Board that it's a joke. Glad this is here, Thanks Jay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe merger isn't the technical term to use but what is fact is no African Americans played in the MLB until the 1947 Season, so any records or WS wins before that have to have an * by it IMO. 28 minutes ago, PuntersArePeopleToo said: I'm off of here till the 11th will be in Boston.

2006Coltsbestever Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 First black player ever to play in the MLB was Jackie Robinson on April 15th, 1947. The 2nd was Larry Doby on July 5th, 1947. A guy by the name of Moses Fleetwood Walker (an African American) played in the 1880's but that wasn't the MLB, it was the American Association.

It means “The Magician.” It can also mean wizard, sorcerer, etc. He definitely makes the impossible happen sometimes, he could be called a thief as well since he lives to steal bases, especially home, lol! Rizzos always got my vote, the dude is a class act, and heck of a player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Coltsbestever Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Reds up 2-0 on the Cubs going to the Bottom of the 4th. Cubs have now trailed in every game during this 6 game winning streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Winning streak is over, Cubs lose 3-2. Almost came back, Reds have our number I guess - funniest thing ever. Reds in the end may win the WS LOL. Against us they play like the 98 Yankees, against everyone else they are MEH. It's all good. We are 8-3 vs the Brewers but 3-7 vs the Reds, Baseball sometimes makes little sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
