Easy peasy
Tell me its the Astros downfall and i will be there always
How was Almonte?
I’m a simple man. A Cubs W makes me happy. Now play the song and Fly the flag
If Cody misses any time, I will putter around the house in a state of unhappiness
A 2hr 38min stress free win, perfect Tuesday night viewing
#CUBS WIN!
#FUCK THE TRASHTROS 🗑️🗑️🗑️
#SHOTS OF MALÖRT FOR EVERYONE!!!
Congratulations, Jordan Wicks! You have earned yourself the title of Sports-Glasses Champion!
Now let’s see if he can keep that title for the rest of the season.
14-9 LFG
Good news
We’ve already done better against the Astros than we did last year
And the bullpen did its job
Baseball knowers:
Are the Astros bad now, or they just off to a “slow start”?
Either way, GO CUBS GOOOOOOOOO
Great W. Crazy how the game thread was full of doomers the whole time when:
1) The Cubs led the entire game
2) Jordan Wicks threw a 6 inning quality start
3) The bullpen gave up no runs.
Maybe try enjoying a chill game while you can for once!
Much-needed stress free win.
Belli take my ribs
Tauchman > Bellinger
I will not be taking questions at this time
PLAY THE DAMN SONG! FLY THE W!
*takes a huge snort of Cubs victory and sits back like that one scene in Scarface*
Great win with minimal clenching lol it’s great what happens when the pitching, the bats, and our defense are all up to the challenge!
P.S. re: the upcoming schedule: I hope this run with the mets is better than last years. I know we all say “cmon blue” when an ump is bad, but that whole crew — every single game of the series in NY — was so awful, so obscenely atrocious, that I was legitimately pulling my hair out.
Proud of the folks in the stands booing the shit out of Altuve every time he sniffed the batter’s box.
Drama-free wins are nice
Tauchman was great today obviously, but I just want to say how underrated Amaya has been at the plate this year. The dude is a legit threat in the 9 hole.
Good game, I’m getting more confidence in Almonte every appearance. Fly the W. See you guys tomorrow
First Cubs win vs Astros at Wrigley since 2013
AWwww, Cody got a homer on his kids birthday.
Great
#[W]
Hopefully Cody is okay, hard to guess but seems like this could range from being out a few days to a few weeks
Astros are my least favorite team in sports so it’s always especially sweet when they get their shit rekt.
Ben Brown in the pen, although I would’ve preferred him starting over Wez, is just such a relief. He may not always give you scoreless innings but just be stable and minimize the walks which he has done
Fuck the Astros. Life is good.
Wins always feel extra sweet when the Brewers lost.
RIP Houston Asterisks
Don’t forget Cardinals suck
Counsell post-game: x-rays were negative on Cody’s ribs.
