>Camera zooms in on a person still wearing her cubs hat while the guy is singing the anthem

agreed

>trading George when his value is the lowest it has ever been

>that guy
His name is Wayne Messmer please show proper respect

sorry

Hey guys, lifelong Cubs fan here. Been followin' the ol' Cubes (heh) through the ups and downs (though it's been a lot of downs as my fellow diehards can attest!)
Here's hoping these 100% natty studs can keep rewarding my many years of true blue loyalty !

>Canada
>sorry

Kek

No worries m8

Go cubs!

>wind blowing out

Heyward will hit his first dinger today

well there goes the no hitter...

doesn't jaso have a wife to inform him that his hair is fucking awful

His wife's son also has dreds

>Jason Heyward has a higher batting average than Jorge Soler

Pirates already trying to bean hitters I see.

>holds up spork

...

What is Bryant's walk-up music? Sounds degenerate.

I love small ball

Hey Soler grats on the hit but maybe try doing it with men on base next time

HE DID IT

HOPING FOR THE BEST BUT EXPECTING THE WORST
ARE YOU GONNA DROP THE BOMB OR NOT

> This based middle infield

Weeeeeew lads

post yfw soler gets hurt and is sent down to AAA for rehab and his replacement does an amazing job preventing him form ever seeing the majors again.

Hey... that's pretty good!

...

some negroid tune. i don't know which one for sure. perhaps little wayne

>bryant
>swinging on 3-0
>any hitter swinging on 3-0

why? beep beep green light

>swinging on 3-0 when the pitcher is struggling to find the zone.
>threw 7 straight balls up till that point.

green light beep beep let er rip

listen to jd

ftw you'll never hear a color guy comparable to Steve Stone on a Cubs broadcast again.

>implying steve stone was the best.

He's a great analyst but was too critical during the down years. Management got triggered.

JUST

Based addy

I need to get in on these Sup Forums memes I usually browse Sup Forums and Sup Forums but the Cubs have been doing it this year

Can we just confirm, so I feel better about losing the series to the dads, that the cubs didnt take that series seriously. They were feeling overly confident and they didnt come to play. They thought they would walk all over them, correct? Its the only logical solution. How can they play so great against top teams and such shit against shitters?

The cubs had the same problem last year. They brought their A game to series against top tier teams and lost more than they should've to bad teams. Hopefully they'll get that sorted out this year.

joe needs to just light a fire under their ass and remind them there are no such thing as upsets in pro sports. As cliche as it sounds
"take it 1 game at a time."

Also

Kuh BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

are the cubs a meme team like Sup Forums says?

Every team is a meme team

>McCutchen
>5'10

when will he learn?

it also didn't help that Joe sat 3 of our hottest hitters while intentionally playing the two coldest, and still missing our starting catcher to injury.

It his his glove he just got scared of the wall. He literally took his eye off the ball to see where the wall was. based walls

if a team is good and isn't the red sucks, bankees, or tardinals, Sup Forums thinks they're a meme team.

Will David Ross reach 100 home r- as I type this, he goes deep.

>all these dingers

>that slowmo replay of the dude taking his shirt off

top lel lads

why do they call him a catcher if he hits the ball

every time Ross comes up to bat that song gets me!

theathletic.com/2016/04/12/cubs-walk-up-music-alphaville-desiigner-and-young-greatness/


lots of shit on here I dont recognize

liking lastella for going classic
grandpa ross' song is appropriate
zo's wife's song is growing on me

The humanity

what a fucking retarded post.
> why do they call him a ______ if he ______
no position is called a hitter except the Awful League

oh boy baseball time

aw shit I missed some crazy stuff it seems

how was gramps HR?

Who wants to join me in a cult worshiping JD?

>(You)
>not seeing the pic related

Nice soup bowl.

fuck you

Hammel being a faggot and giving up more runs.

>this is considered a pizza in Chicago

go fuck yourself

it really doesn't have any more sauce than a regular pizza

it's all cheese

>quality baby
>yep that's a QB right there
What did they mean by this

quality baby

...

The baby is made of good material, probably made in the USA by american-born citizens and not outsourced to chinese workers. It has the look and feel of a sturdy baby and cries seldom to moderately.

Don't forget the excellent head nodding

>DeRosa and Dempster

is it ok if i brush without toothpaste so i can continue to enjoy my beer?

Why would you brush your teeth at all when drinking beer?

>Dumb Cubs fans still fap to DeRosa over two good seasons
>Shit on Sammy

>brushing without toothpaste

That defeats the purpose

Brush after you have finished drinking

wow.
absolutely zero QTs on todays fan cam.
my face when i have no face

i do not plan to stop drinking.

calm your ass down, Sammy wasn't in the picture they showed

Then you will drown, so brushing your teeth is pointless

Sorry lad, just listening on the radio.
But also.
>They shit on Castro too

The alcohol will kill the germs, no need to brush senpai

Hammel gives hope to awkward white guys everywhere
