The trash cans weren’t loud enough it seems
Every injury makes us stronger.

Call it a win and a series win!
I like Neris’ energy. I wish it matched his performance.
Took another series, boys!
W
Series is a success already
Go for the sweep
Never in doubt
Way to grind it out boys.
Fuck the Astros
Gotta keep the broom close near my desk tomorrow
Cardiac Cubs: *This is only my first form.*
Never a doubt
Way for Neris to stay strong
#FUCK THE TRASHTROS!!!!🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️
#SHOTS OF MALÖRT FOR EVERYONE!!!!
Team may need to spend post game introducing themselves to each other
The Cubs have the fewest home losses of any team in the majors
(and somehow two of the three are to the Marlins)
What a treat, watching the Iowa Cubs beat the Astros at Wrigley
Boog was talking about how Counsel doesn’t view pitchers as positions like closer but come on, Craig and FO, we need a real closer if we’re going places.

W team just grinds nonstop so much depth and solid fundamental baseball. 101 win pace with all these damn injuries and a really really tough first leg of the schedule.
The Astros’ starters this series remind me a lot of the first half of 2017 when Cubs’ starters randomly gave up at least 1 run in the first inning of basically every game.
Very weird, but I love seeing the Cubs go up big early in these games!
I can’t wait for us to pass up the Brewers and leave them in the rear view mirror for the rest of the season
We kinda got a closer folks.
Our record being as good as it is with the myriad of injuries we have speaks to the depth of our farm and the talent on this team. Super proud of our boys!
9th inning homers are seared into my brain this year
Annoying injury news today, but this team is proving to be resilient. Another series win secured. Hope they go out and secure the sweep tomorrow.
Even with the injuries and bullpen woes, there are good vibes surrounding this team. Hopefully it continues until some of our guys return.
I’m a simple man.
When the Cubs win, I’m happy.
When they beat the Trashstros, I’m happier.
Taillon for cy young, love to see.wins on a sp statline even though weird fans these days will bully you into thinking NO STATS MATTER, lol. That’s the weirdest thing to get mad about.
Dubbies
Love the Swanson interview but wow seeing his breath – they had to be freezing out there
The trashros sucking is great. Go cubs fan
