Another stellar game pitched by The Professor today! Along with a career high 3 hits he helped them offensively as well. I sure hope this continues and for having the NL best record nobody seems to be talking about the Cubs in the media and I am totally ok with this! Long ways to go but I loved hearing Contreras say the team feels like 2016 again - that to me is what is important- to have the team playing as one, and they genuinely look like they are having fun again.

Yu pitches tomorrow - hoping he can have a solid outing, and work on the walks. This rotation could be dangerous if Yu can start putting 6-7 solid innings together. My one worry is still the bullpen for the long haul. I think it is time to give Joe some credit for pulling this all together - he rightfully has been criticized past few years, but to me is earning a contract extension - get it done Cubs!

Can we please get rid of Carl Edwards Jr!?!

Gurds · 05-17-2019, 09:18 PM

What an at bat by Schwarber! 13 pitches and on the 13th pitch, hits a 2 run HR.

Gurds · 05-17-2019, 09:19 PM

And now Bryant hits his second HR of the night right after Schwarber!

Hardware supply companies all over Illinois can’t understand why sales have increased 1200% in the last two weeks...

CubKings · 05-17-2019, 11:23 PM

Hell of a game.

Ferg1945 · 05-18-2019, 01:14 AM

Open for business again?

CubKings · 05-18-2019, 07:20 PM

Well this sucks. Only 3 innings deep and Lester's been smacked.

Hope the bats wake up soon like last night.

Wolves4Life · 05-24-2019, 05:07 PM

I can take bad loses, Not bad loses to trash teams though.

Agreed but until we have a legitimate closer, the 9th is gonna be interesting all season.

CubKings · 05-24-2019, 06:35 PM

Yeah, we've been losing some close ones we probably shouldn't lately. It sucks.

Top of the ninth kept it interesting today too

Wolves4Life · 06-02-2019, 04:31 PM

Nice of the Cubs offense to make Waino look good.

CubKings · 06-11-2019, 11:34 AM

It's starting to look horrible that we're gonna be stuck with Garbish for so long.

Maybe he can catch a hot streak, but it's not looking good.

Also, hoping to see Kimbrel lock down the pen when he's ready to go. Or will he also be a major disappointment?

Wolves4Life · 06-14-2019, 12:07 AM

Let Kershaw off the hook and it came back to bite the team. Hopefully win the next 3 and end part of their west coast trip (other part later) on a good note.

Wolves4Life · 06-16-2019, 10:09 PM

Why didn't Joe challenge for blocking the plate in the 9th? Catcher clearly in front without the ball. If probably stands but i've saw worse get called safe.

Wolves4Life · 06-19-2019, 02:29 AM

Not even the least bit shocked the offense made Nova look good. Under Maddon pitchers with crappy ERA's look like the best pitchers in baseball against the offense. I expect them to be better against Cy-Lito tonight cause they usually do better against good pitching.

salthill · 06-23-2019, 03:51 PM

Javy got ALL of that one! Fantastic hit, and perfect timing.

LCM1223 · 06-25-2019, 07:07 PM

You guys want Arrieta back? I mean you can have him for free. We’ll drive by and drop him off, no questions asked.

CoolG · 06-26-2019, 08:04 PM

I don't like the back end of the staff
Darvish is inconsistent at this point he's a 4-5 guy at best.
Q lol when people were saying he's a legit 1-2. He's a 4-5 guy as well.
A bad signing and awful trade

Cubs are gonna have to make SP move before deadline.
