I LOVE THIS TEAM! these boys are special this year.
#PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS ANALYSIS
HAPPY SWEEP AND CALEB WILLIAMS DAY FRIENDS.
🐻🧹🗑️
Yea, we’re gonna need one of those closer things
Go Cubs Go and Fuck the Astros 🧹
Get swept motherfuckers
Damn man Neris was making me uncomfy
The Hector Neris Experience
Sweeeeepppppp
Who needs an elite strikeout closer when your elite defense can just bail out whoever you put out there?
Wins a win, though. Let’s keep it going!
Nothin sweeter than sweeping the Astros. Getcher brooms, guys gals and nonbinary pals.
Nice to see PCA get that first hit off his back. Now relax and play your game!
Nice sweep! On to Boston!
Payback for last year
Wonderful 3 game series
We’ve officially had a better April than last year no matter what now
LETS GO PETE NEVER DOUBTED YOU ONCE
Get your brooms because that’s a sweep! Now PLAY THE DAMN SONG ALREADY
Pca home run. You love to see it. The first of many. Let’s prove the doubters wrong.
This is shaping up to be a real fun team.
fantastic sweep with all the injuries. incredible.
I want to once again add how much I fucking HATE the brewers. so fucking much
This team is exciting.
Steele/Imanaga/Assad/Taillon/Wicks is an excellent rotation.
Love seeing Ben Brown and Wesneski succeed in the bullpen. Even though Brown could be a starter he is probably best as a closer this year.
Doing this despite injuries is awesome
Lots of hero’s and great stories from this game. Under the radar, Tauchman went 1-1 with 3 walks in the 2 hole!
swept them right up into the trash
🧹
Know it’s early and that we had a rough first half at bat, but games like today do a good job numbing the pain of knowing Seiyah, Belli, and Steele are still out.
Lowest energy ejection I’ve ever seen from the Astros manager there.
Cubs sweep/ First PCA hit
Caleb about to be drafted.
Let’s have a day Chicago.
Cubs did it in the afternoon hopefully the bears do it this evening
I know the Astros are hated these days but anyone else miss the nostalgia of us facing them on the regular back in the day?
Good times
Nice win having to face Verlander. 7 games over .500, go cubs go!
Closer this closer that… We’ve closed the gap on the Brewers!
Takin’ out the trash.
Neris getting confidence back hopefully, wes looks good,
Swept the stros, Sox get swept.
Chicago we party tonight
It’s Christmas in April. Cubs sweep the Astros, PCA with his first hit as a homer, and we draft Caleb Williams today.
I legit did one of these
https://media.tenor.com/dShxgN5-NXIAAAAM/peteweber-bowling.gif
A sweep’s a sweep, now on to the draft.
A cubs win and Caleb Williams in the same day 😏
Hell yeah!
So nice to see a sweep even if it’s against a struggling team. I’ll take it.
5-2 homestand, can’t expect more than that.
PCA finally got a giant weight off his shoulders, love to see it. And Assad is the real deal.
Bro, Javier Assad is so underrated. Sorry babe, I’m an ASS MAN now. 💕
I didn’t realize i liked Counsell so much until paying attention to his postgame interviews, dude is pretty awesome
am i high or how did PCA get his first hit today? I could’ve sworn when he got called up last year he had a couple hits?
Keep rollin’ rollin’ rollin’
Scored in a grand total of 5 innings during the entire series…still got a sweep!
Neris is a vibe
Anyone have Zach’s homerun call for pca
