The Cubs decided to win a game and so they remain two games up on Arizona. This is mostly an excuse to post the yearly rookie dress up day stuff so enjoy π
Big news in Chicago: Top outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong is being called up by the Cubs, sources tell ESPN. The plan is for him to be activated on Tuesday. Cubs are gearing up for a playoff run, and their best prospect will be there with them.
Bummed to miss going to Coors this year, which is a great ballpark near some great breweries, but going to Wrigley more than made up for it (dying laughing).
If they don’t DFA Wisdom, I think Canario option or Candyman to the IL is the move, and PCA would definitely start in CF due to Coors being the size of a national park.
I can neither remember that abbreviation (San Diego something something?) nor imagine participating in a Bears comment thread after that game. (dying laughing)
Pat is getting about 10% of the airtime. It almost makes it worse that heβs on the broadcast. Itβs like being imprisoned in Alcatraz and being able to hear the sounds of parties across the bay, knowing youβre this close to enjoying life yet so very far away.
Despite the fact that Iβm very much rooting for it to happen, I wouldnβt say Iβm rooting for it, but . . . if Aaron Rodgers ends the season 0/1 passing, I will be (dying laughing).
Canβt really see a good look at the full play at the plate, but itβs hard to understand how or why a runner wouldnβt slide feet-first directly to the plate instead of sliding around it and catching it with the hand when the catcher isnβt blocking the plate.
It sounds like he hurt the ACL which would be unfortunate and I’d be more sympathetic if he wasn’t such a raging thundercunt and a disgrace to my alma mater
My biggest complaint is that he didn’t play the whole game and suck, which following Love’s good game against some unnamed team, would have imploded multiple hosts of First Take and its various clones. Sadly humanity lost out on that timeline.

San Diego Smooth Jazz Man. IIRC he was the source of the ‘shut him right up’ meme, though that may be lost to the sands of time/beer.
The only reason I donβt mind that humanity was robbed of a crappy Rodgers performance in week 1 is that every single season before and after the first week of games, I talk ad nauseam about how week 1 is really the last preseason game and tells us very little about anything. Of course it sounds like sour grapes from a Bears fan now, but even if Rodgers looked awful I wouldnβt have put much stock in it.

Atlanta has clinched a playoff spot and four very bad teams have been eliminated from postseason eligibility

There were apparently only 4 possibilities for the KC 200+ square and I couldn’t think of an alternative to the obvious choice

Rice Cube,
Canario must be getting lonely on the bench.

I was going to say thereβs no worse scenario than a game you canβt afford to lose against a team with nothing to lose . . . but I was wrong.
Whatβs worse is having to choose between Sutcliffe on TV or Zach on the radio. Goddammit.

I think Pat is on TV so I hope that works as a compromise

The Cubs would have more runs but for their poor decision making due possibly to altitude sickness
