Who heard that national anthem?

>FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

...

hello where are the brawls

Go cubs

Soon

what inning do the pirates bean arrieta?

>ABC
I'm still boycotting them after that Path to 9/11 bullshit series. It doesn't help that they are the worst offender of stuffing commercials into their sports events.

I'm subjecting myself to the online stream of the pirate broadcast to avoid channel 7.

Late in the game after Arrieta is on his way to pitch a perfect game against them.

COOOOOoooooold beeeEEEEERRRRRR!

No hitter alert!
Jake Arrieta and jeff locke have combined to through a perfect game through one inning each! This is the 15381st time such an event has occured in mlb history

Hey Shitrats fans, how does it feel knowing the Cubs are superior to you in every single way?

FUCKING DAILY KEKED

C'mon bro... be cool.

I promise not all cubs fans are assholes, pirate fans

Why is it that Arrieta can't seem to throw a perfect game?

Not enough pilates.

>who /pumpedforarriettaday/ here?

Why is it that you can't seem to get quads?

I think Arrieta goes 8, gives up two walks and one hit.

So basically a 'meh' game for him.

Hopping he doesnt pitch like last start

Feels good man

>through

Yeah espn cant spell either

>autism

Zobrist has been awesome.

>Zorilla

I wish Maddon would fucking stop with the Soler meme

>Soler

H-he'll start t-turning things around any d-day now...

>Locke starts the game with two (2) shutout innings

It's a Christmas miracle.

Fuck off ABC7

no one gives a shit about your news anchors

>that pitch
>that perfect swing from Mercer
Anyone else's heart stop?

say that to my face fucker not online and see what happens

Why did we keep federowicz but put kalish back in the minors??? Inverse of that move please

>muted

>advanced autism

True autism at its best

Probably because they want to make sure Miggy has actually recovered before they send down their backup's backup.

>mlb.tv stopped working

that's fine, I didn't want to watch >us lose anyway.

Fucking arrieta with the slighlty stoopid walkup music. What a bro

>Jeff Locke with three (3) straight shutout innings

Truly these are the end times.

Soler is garbage staright garbage garbage in field garbage in box kill him with fire. Garbage. Garbage

>solar

Need I say more?

Nice defense Solerror

found PirateDave

>Soler
Why has he not been demoted? Even Heyward can fucking field a ball.

On a scale of 0 to warriors, how bad are the cubs going to be bandwagoned or meme'd?

Fucking hell

FUCK

The end is nigh

REEEEEEEE

Artieta is not elite

Is the meme over lads?

Holy shit, fuck this inning and fuck Jorge Soler.

HOLY SHIT ARRIETA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

Yeeeees. Kill the Korean again.

the arrieta meme?

Fuck, Chimprats gonna retaliate now

Get ready for retaliation lads

...

Free baserunner at least

Yes

I'm betting Bryant gets one right on the ass cheek

And brawls! Dont forget the glorious brawls

that's gonna cost you, cubbies -- jake's going out on a stretcher next at bat

We need to get Coghlan back here to kill Kang again

Fuckin Cubes. Every time you try to kill based Chinaman he just comes back stronger than he was before.

You may be in luck

I'm afraid it might be. and i dunno what >we will do without him pitching the way he has

>Heyward gets a hit
What black magic is this?

He's a gook, not a chink.

He didn't do it on purpose, dumbass. Give us the free baserunner, pls.

The origin of the Chinaman is not the issue here, dude.

Lets be honest... Bryant struck out at least twice there

Pirates getting jobbed this game

Was getting caught in a double play immediately afterwards part of the plan?

>It's a Jeff Locke remembers he's shit episode

DONGS FOR THE DONG GOD

R I Z Z O
I
Z
Z
O

NOBODY BEATS THE RIZZ

i didn't see him swing and miss after strike 2 though

RIIIIIIZZZZZZZZO!


NOT SO FAST PIE RATS

Oh yeah i forgot it was whiffle ball rules! Only swinging strikes count

I don't blame Locke. First batter grounded out, second batter struck out looking, ump won't call a strike for him unless it's right down the middle. A pitch down the middle is going to get hit.

>shitsburg

Singles and Soler strikes out. Again.

well there definitely weren't any balls in the strike zone

LOL

>telling your players to retaliate
Pirates are a cancer to baseball

Wow, Ray Searage got ejected?

Shitcago really are paying off the umps.

Wut?

I just like getting my racial epithets correct, friend.

Go back and watch again

>chimpsburgh

Don't worry, Jorge Soler hasn't forgotten that he's shit.

The dubs lied to us

Soler's shittyness overpowered your lack of singles

Not even Dubs can save the fuck up that is Soler.

When is this faggot being going back to the minors?

>striking out against Jeff Locke on 3 pitches

This Soler guy seems like a bum

start Baez not Solar please
