Is the Cubs starting pitcher still in the game?

Nope, this is getting cute  

[2006Coltsbestever]

To the 9th, Cubs still up 6-5.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Game over, Cubs win, MVP to Rizzo. 6-5 Cubs win again ladies and gentleman. Fly the flag Hozer. Still in 1st place in the NL Central by 1.5 games over the so-called fabulous Brewers, 4.5 over the awesome Cards. 

[HOZER]

An ugly win, but a win none the less! Hope Javy is ok, that ankle roll looked painful!

 

 

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Jake vs Yu, Cubs lead 1-0 so far. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Yu pitched well for a while and even had the crowd behind him but couldn't hold the lead. This is looking bad, Cubs down 3-1 to the 8th. Jake is going get the win unless we come up with something in the last 2 innings.

This is what you and Hozer feared: a matchup between Yu and Jake.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs lead 4-3 HOLY COW! 

[2006Coltsbestever]

To the 9th, 4-3 Cubs 

[2006Coltsbestever]

1 away, Russ to Rizzo.

[2006Coltsbestever]

2 away, Brach throwing some heat.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Damn, tie game 4-4, to the bottom of the 9th.

[2006Coltsbestever]

This will be a nonsense loss, Cubs had a strike 3 call taken away from them in the 9th that would've ended the game. Now the Phillies hit a freakin 2 out HR in the 10th. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs lose. Nonsense Umps. When you are at home and a player check swings where it is close, you should get that call. Cubs got screwed but have to move on, it's only 1 game.

That was an absolute nonsense call,

Yeah in a 162 game season you are always going to have a handful of games where the UMPs are bad. I still think out of Baseball, Football, and Basketball, Baseball is the best officiated sport since out and safe calls became reviewable but last night the Cubs got jobbed. Hopefully they can put this in their rare view mirror and get a win tonight.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Another tough loss unless we rally in the 9th. Down 2-1. This series has been full of bad luck so far , then our announcers keep calling the Phillies player Fronco  . It is spelled Franco. I guess Fronco Harris won 4 SB's with the Steelers and Chopman, not Chapman was the man in 2016 for the Cubs. Missing El Mago has hurt a bit.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Brewers lost so that is good.

Rizzo doubles, MVP is at 3rd, Rizzo at 2nd and no outs. Lets go baby!

[2006Coltsbestever]

bases loaded 1 out. It is up to Almora. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

MVP just too fast, he scores/safe at home, 2-2 now. Still only 1 out and bases loaded still.

El Mago is back, pinch hitting woo hoo.

[2006Coltsbestever]

El Mago delivers, Cubs win. Fly the flag Hozer. This makes up for last night's nonsense.

Nothing wrong with a Qtr Pounder and a Fry from time to time.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs lead 7-3 in the bottom of the 5th. Almora just hit a grand slam! 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs add another on the El Mago HR, 8-3 now. Showing Harper and the boys who's boss 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs win 8-4, fly the flag Hozer. 29-18 on the season and still 2 games ahead over the 29-22 Brewers in the NL Central. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Bryant>Harper and Harper makes a ton more money,  . 

[2006Coltsbestever]

So far counting this season = last 5 seasons (2015-2019), the Cubs have won more games than all teams + won a WS in 2016 in that timeframe. I guess the haters can go suck . The goal now is to win another WS to prove we can do it twice. I am enjoying this season very much as the Cubs look really focused so far after starting 2-7. Long way to go but this is reminding of 2016 a bit.

[HOZER]

Sorry I’m late, rough night......

 

 

 

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs are on WNDY today at 220ET. I am off work today, time for a beer and some baseball. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs down 4-0 in the 3rd inning, we have them right where we want them  = it is still early Jonny. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

@NFLfan, Mets won again. They have now won 4 in a row and are 24-25 and still only 4 games out of 1st place in the NL East.

[HOZER]

Oh my, Lester has not looked good for two games now....and our fielding is super suspect so far today.

 

[PrincetonTiger]

Spending the day scanning the WNBA waiver wire

[2006Coltsbestever]

7-0 now, maybe it is just one of those stinkers . Oh well still came out of this 2-2, Reds come to Wrigley tomorrow.

[PrincetonTiger]

Several Colts at Louisville Slugger Stadium tonight

[2006Coltsbestever]

There is a lot of parity in baseball, if we do lose we are still 29-19 and in 1st place in the NL Central.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Look out it is 7-2 now  . Never know with the Cubs.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Bases loaded and no outs  . Almora is up.
