  8. This is going to be 9/11 years since 2015 that the Cubs have had a winning record. The lovable losers tag feels like a long time ago

  12. Happer quietly posting a 1000 OPS over his last 15 games. Slug alone is 1000 over the last 7. Could be looking at one of his patented heater stretches. Much needed if true.

  14. Remember when people were saying Happ should be the 4th outfielder?

    Good times

  20. Going to the game tomorrow, what did they do on field for Sammy today? First pitch, small ceremony, anything like that? Don’t want to miss anything with DLee tomorrow

  21. After seeing both the Dodgers and Padres getting swept by teams well under .500 (teams that we’ve won series in the past month btw), you won’t see me apologizing for beating a bad team. This was an entertaining afternoon of baseball with the wind blowing out.

  23. OK, so I think CC is earning his money this year.

    The “resets” for slumping hitters, overall starting pitcher / bullpen usage, team construction, team morale and health in September have all been strong positives.

    I’m excited to see what October at Wrigley brings!

  24. I think Billy Beane would cum his pants if he saw the stat line. Couldn’t watch today, how did everyone look eye test wise?
