>you faggots still start Heyward

top lel, he's gonna cost you at least one game in the postseason

best defense in the league
42 games over

Did you not watch his last start you retarded cusb fan?

probably not because you started watching baseball last year

ST Louis pizza > Chicago pizza

Discuss

The walk-up music meme has to end desu senpai.

THEY BEAT GOES ON

did he just score from first on a weak ass single down the line?

i think he did

cubs fan but i agree. deep dish is pizza soup and it's fucking disgusting.

the falsest of false flags i've ever seen

...

...

>it's a cubs win in the first inning episode
Wtf am I supposed to watch at work now?

You actually like Chicago tomato soup?

Over/under Leake IP: 3.2

stay mad

Who's ready for a playoffs with a female pop star theme song and constant ads for PITCH?

What the fuck kinda deep dish are you getting if it's soupy?

Why would I be mad? You have the BEARS to look forward to after this

>2016
>watching ads

you get to watch the Rams
oh wait

>methlouis has no handegg

shit team>no team

Hawks*
Besides da burrs are spee's team, user.

why is this always a thing? Pizza is sidewalk food, not for dining.
also, Idaho Potatoe v. any other kind
ideally, prepared your favorite way

Go cusb you are my greatest ally

St Louis is a baseball town you mongoloid.

And in our one off season in 10 years we're still going to make the postseason lol.

Lol you assholes are the Dodgers and Nats bitches

prepare for many more off seasons. this is cubes division now

fucking Molina, i saw that coming

Lol no, not until Clayton Chokeshaw can get some of muh rings

4ks, 0 bbs thru 2

will arrieta fall off a cliff again?

It just means that wherever you live is either part of the Cubs or Cardinals team market

>all those St Louis fans in the stands

Kek

...

I'm as big a Cards fan and hater of Chiraq for ruining the midwest as they come, but Chicago pizza is awesome even if it isn't really pizza. St. Louis pizza is disgusting.

Well can we as STL and SF laugh at LA together?

Mets bros can join in too

how do you eat a pizza on the sidewalk

their season is almost over - gotta try to catch them one last time

>St Louis pizza

Is that a thing that actually exists?

its chef boyardee tier

in Chicago, I dunno, maybe a bowl

any other place, a napkin

Le pulls balls a foot outside man

I'm a mets fan but i'm rooting for Cardinals here

Here me out, there's no fucking way we're beating Madbum with whichever starter we have left (because we won't be able to choose). But cards i'm not too afraid of anyone and the cards fans i've talked to aren't confident either.

Also i know jints will lose at least 4 more games due to their bullpen

>faggots with no ties to the Cubes or Tards come in and shit up the thread
Please stop

...

Fuck yeah bro. In all sincerity, the Cardinals and Giants are literally, statistically the greatest NL franchises of all time. There's also a bit of a cross history between the Giants and Cards, a lot of great Giants players of the past went to the Cardinals through trade. Cepeda, Frisch, Jack Clark, and a lot more I'm sure

1. Cardinals
2. Giants

*Mountains of shit and rivers of piss*

90000000000000001. Everyone else

Honestly though I hate these nu-Cubs fans, I just like when they beat teams competing with us for the postseason

you must have big hands

only drunks and street trash buy by the slice

>nationally broadcasts game

fuck Your mother
>sidewalk food
yes, we were just having that conversation
try to keep up, stupid

Cred Forums isn't a safe space faggot

I like watching good baseball, and this is one of the few good MLB rivalries left

>drunks and street trash

you mean New York?

This

pretty much

The game is currently on ESPN, so it's being nationally broadcasted, if you want an explanation

Just remember once baseball season is over you fags get to watch the Bears

>MLB network does a segment on Cubs's possible flaws
>Literally all of them say none except 'the curse'

How can you get paid for saying something like that? Like seriously a curse isn't going to prevent them from doing anything, if they collapse it's because they were overrated in the first place

The only three MLB rivalries worth a damn are the same three that have been worth a damn across decades and even across a century:

Giants-Dodgers
Yankees-Red Sox
Cardinals-Cubs

everything else is meme-tier trash, which makes it extra funny when the >resd consider the cards their biggest rival

best team in baseball has a ~20% chance to win a series in the current playoff structure

>if they dont win theyre overrated

Challenge that shit

I'm not making anyone hungry am I? -_-

We still got the Blackhawks

who mets here

>that double play

>Dodgers-Giants
>rivalry

Most Dodger fans don't think there's a rivalry though. They're bigger rivals to the Red Sox and Yankees apparently

people in LA
sports fans

fellow cardsfags, who have you decided to bandwagon for football?

Given that there is no way in hell I'm rooting for a Chicago or Kansas Shitty team, I'm looking between the colts and titans (I already live in south Illinois, so those two teams are close-ish). I imagine south missouri cards fans are cowboys fans now, but fuck them too

>in the current playoff structure

What do you mean by this?

I'm not talking about record, I'm talking about the most complete team. For example if you look at the Red Sox right now, they are not the 5th best team in baseball despite that showing in their record. They are 2nd at worst.

Baseball obivously has the most parity of any major american sport, but that doesn't mean it's just 'random' which team wins. There are concrete reasons, nerves, holes in lineups, etc.

I was more just pointing to the fact that if Cubs had NO flaws, they would be way more than 20% odds. For example the 2011 phillies were 3 to 1 odds to win the world series but they had a late season collapse that people ignored.

...

I don't do meth

I don't believe you

Right here senpai

What happened to that one Cardinals trip? he was the most entertaining baseball trip on spee

Twinkiefag here

>lowest OPS of any outfielder in the NL
>a fucking starter on a world series contender

JUSTin heyward

>entertaining baseball
is that a thing?

you're watching right now aren't you :^)

...

come on Tards

betting odds reflect money wagered by retards

Im just talking odds that the best team (best record) in baseball wins the series

Methlouis was the best team in baseball last year and they got tossed early

...

Yeah I feel you, I'm just saying i don't think record actually reflects a team's quality because of how often lineups are shuffled and it often takes months for a team to find to find it's groove.

I assure you if the Cubs don't make the WS it will be pretty disappointing.

Donger off small-time Jake right here

meh, the Cubs will (should) be in the playoffs for a few more years

Theo knows it about the number of chances you get.

Sometimes being lucky is good too tho - like that one time the who's backed their way into the last wildcard slot and then caught fire to win it all

nice call nostradamus

Would you guys cross the Mendoza line (if you understand my meaning)

getting his pitch count up at least

I thought you wanted him in because he was trash?

>TOOTBLAN ALERT

fuck that was embarrassing

But I've been watching home games all year with no problem.

What do people in STL do now without NFL?

>meth

Or it could be due to the fact that it's being nationally broadcasted through ESPN and sometimes those blackout restrictions might take effect.

I mean, I live out in California and it's letting me watch the game, so I'm not sure really

Do you not know we have a hockey team?

Fucking idiot

I've got the radio broadcast+shitty stream, but it's not the same. And when I tried to watch it, the cubs broadcast was on WLS, not ESPN. Hopefully that's the issue, cause if there's issues for the rest of the year + postseason I'm gonna be a salty sailor.

The Blues (aka the Cubs of the NHL)

Yeah but it's no NFL or NBA

should have taken the under

77 pitches thru 3.1

Except we almost won it last year

Yeah yeah never won the Cup we get it

The NL playoff games will be on Fox Sports This October

I was amazed that the Blouse didnt choke at home (as usual) after blowing their 3-1 lead to the Hawks

But credit is due, the Blouse kept their spaghetti in their pockets and played a solid game 7

>NBA

Disgusting.

MLB > NFL >>>>> NHL >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NBA

I won't pretend losing the Rams didn't hurt, but I'm very happy our other team for baseball's offseason is hockey, not apehoop

Well i for one wouldn't mind a basketball team but yeah baseball is king

For us in Chicago MLB is 4th after NFL/NBA and NHL

I'm black tho

should've been 2

...

wasnt even close

Zorbrist
>.240 risp

Maybe if the Cards had younger players with fast reflexes

What is STL going to do with the Stadium??

is was when Jordan is town

prepare yourself for Baseball Fever, cause this is bigger tan Jordan or the Stan Lee
Qt

>was in town
fuck sake

hello bandwagon

good thing i have 2 TVs in my room so i can play final fantasy vi on my SNES while watching this. if they turn it around, i'll focus on my VG less

And you get to watch the Ra- oh...

...

epic :)

rather have no team than the biggest joke in the NFL year after year

dwayne the traitor wade
rajon let me pass up this open layup for a chance at another assist rondo
fred how can i into defense zoidberg

no thibs
no noah

>caring at all about the bulce

fuck off pol

>implying STLfags aren't still watching the Rasm, angrily, butthole clenching and unclenching hatefully

>w-w-we still got the T-Tigers

...

>Jake's velocity is down they said
>he's pitching to contact they said
>Cubs should be concerned they said

>Not just watching free streams.

Sometimes you have to deal with them installing maleware. But it's free and no black outs. Also fuck giving viewership to WLS.

We all watched his embarrassing collapse in the postseason last year, no reaosn to think it won't happen again.

Our offense is piss anyway

6ip, 4h, 1bb, 8k on 85 pitches

>does Joe send him out for the 7th?

What would be perfect is if the Gnats and Murts get knocked out by the Doylers and NEETs. Cubs can easily sweep in 5 those two teams and the baby league is a cakewalk.

This is our years Cubs bros

Best offenses in 2016:
Colorado
Boston
Chicago

Depends on how much palates Arrieta has had. He'll probably go another inning.

>colorado

Don't the Cubs match up well vs Giants and Mets?

the cubs matchup well against pretty much everyone

hendricks/lester/arrieta
chapman/rondon/strop

good call

>i would have pulled him

ump has been awful all game

>cardinals

just needs a bryant dinger and the day is golden

i was talking about the cardinals

They match up well with everyone, it's just a matter avoiding teams that might cause them trouble.

Also teams can't use Murt's gameplan from last year since the two big weakness of the Cubs. (Tendency to swing at every pitch and the bullpen) have been patched over.

Any series is for the Cubs to lose at this point.

He got his at batt, no way he wasn't going to do another inning. Plus Arrieta needs to learn to be able to last at least 7 innings.

>Colorado
you mean like the color Red?
that's a weird mistake to make..

youre still wrong

>3rd in the NL, 6th in mlb

but you might fall a notch or two if the shutout holds

Is this swimmer guy stoned? Also why can't anyone sing in proper pitch?

Or why do they say 'let's get some runs' When Harry only said that when they were behind.

Awful awful rendition as always

He seemed really shy but at least he tried to put in some Harry-like moves which was cute.

expecting a millenial to remember proper carey stretch customs

>he did sound drunk tho

If we didn't beat the Giants and start a 4-game winning streak i would have already gave up on the season.

Fuck stupid jints bullpen giving me false hope

...

MLS soccer team that only uses the lower bowl maybe?

oh yeah, doesn't someone want to start a MLS team their?

are there enough methicans there to make it viable?

...

Comeback time

Aaaand i'm going for a smoke

Stope shouldn't be thanking god, he should be thanking the god like Defense he's got backing him up.

Always forget how stacked those 90s barves teams were

Being an Expos fan was truly the worst after the reallignment.

Also the 1994 strike and the owners being such Jews they systematically dismantled what was arguable one of the best best teams ever assembled in baseball history.

>That 5 seconds of dead air after they said 'Merrkle's Boner'.

MURPHY DED WEW

One more shot..

Does Carl's Jr. make the post season roster now that Strop is back?

Depends on if Strop shits the bed like he normally does.

yes

...

Shutout

[W] #98

43 over

+244

Supermagic number = 1
>can clinch with Nats loss tonight

Arrieta is 18-7

...

Wew gg cusb

Go get those 100 wins, i know that'll feel like a big milestone to you

See you tomorrow

...

>We still got the Toews- and Kanebabbies

FTFY
