Chicago Cubs fans - Rebuilding Year 2023

[docsoliday1]

so a possible update at 8:30 on IF there will indeed be a game tonight. Doesn't look good. I feel like Ian could have given a heads up on inclement weather

Lots of rain here, so if it happens, it will be LATE
I'm like 15 min from the park. If not for the stinkin' snow in the winter, wish it was 15 min from Wrigley.

 

[Deb & Bill]

POSTPONED



on the upside, Phillie's with an 8th inning rally against the Dirty Bird's 4-0.

So we made up one on Monday and postponed another tonight.

and I wasted 4 pieces of Fannie May

I assume Joe was rearranging his strategy for this weekend during the delay...throws off pitching for the Cleveland series too. Monty will be ticked if he doesn't get the start Sat.

Makeup game on August 30th means the Cubs will go 23 straight games without a day off from August 21st through September 13th. NOT good. Mother Nature is REALLY making this season brutal



pitching rotation going forward: Lester Friday, Hendricks and Q Saturday (TBD on order) and Darvish Sunday.

Fannie May is never wasted. Never.

 

[FINFAN]

Lets hope this lineup has Homer Bailey living up to his name~and yes, rain is an issue again. Why? 'Cause Lester is pitching, lol


SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT!

DELAYED DUE TO RAIN (I knew better than to eat the Fannie May until the game actually starts lol)


LETS GO CUBBIE'S! TIME TO ADD ON TO THE W COLUMN!!!!!

JHey activated today!!!!(I know most hate him, but good news to me)

 

[FINFAN]

rooting for Jake tonight and it feels SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Deb & Bill]

So no AAJ in the lineup tonight. We're going to lose.

He will be in the 7th most likely. Please just let Rizzo feast off of Bailey and that his back is not an issue with the Cinci hotel bed again, lol.

 

[Deb & Bill]

Rain delay once again.

But, on the bright side (for me at least), I can see the 3rd game with the Cubbies. I think I'm going to plan to take a day off from work and go REALLY early. Hey @Kewz1 , wanna come join us in Atlanta on the 30th? It will definitely be hotlanta in Aug, but would love to be able to cheer on our Cubbies together! I'm considering asking my brother and sister-in-law to come up as well. Maybe if I buy the tickets they will come. (Instead of the line from field of dreams.)

 

[FINFAN]

LETS DO IT AGAIN TOMORROW...TWICE!!!!!!!!!!


Vrrom Vroom Addie! Lester plowing through the rain , no big deal. Buccos lose, but Brewers win. Jake did not have a god outing, hoping the Phillies can make a comeback!

 

[FINFAN]

GAME ONE LINEUP~LOOKS PRETTY GOOD TO ME!(Happ ahead of the pitcher again, will he get walked 3 more times today?)

LET'S PLAY TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, lead off. And I hope Addie stays hot today.

 

[FINFAN]

LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN LINEUP~

only gonna put one example up here but..yeah

could we maybe , kinda, not leave half our Roster in RISP?
I happily toss that game right into the river.

 

[FINFAN]

this team seriously has no middle ground lol

Happ took over Cog's #8 , then joins Cog's with the homer in each game of a double-header. If he calls a time out e-hack & knocks in 2 , I'm gonna check to see if it's really Cog's in a Happ mask lol

 

[FINFAN]

for those that missed the fun in game 1 today....Javy could have taken him lol,, that bat flinch . Garrett roaring like a Lion..what a piece of work. Young pitcher, your team is 10 back..keep it classy Cinci.

[FINFAN]

Wow, Rizzo was ready to mix it up!

{snip} here come the Machado rental rumors of having Addie traded and Javy at SS after he (Machado) goes FA

I'd be okay with that .
