>Le "I get balks a lot because of my shitty delivery" man
>Vs. a "Literally Who"

Nice game today San Fagcisco

Bartoyono Colosaki

lets go jints

christ almighty pence didnt make that easy did he

Cusb going to win or nah

AHAHAHAHA HEYWARDDDD

Now he can't even field

>palms sweaty
>cubs spaghetti
Black Phillip is in attendance today.

John Lackey has the biggest mouth in mlb. You could fit a century's worth of Championship rings in there.

runner on 3rd base, 1 out

dont worry cusb fans, sf will shit the bed here

>Lackey start

Why am I even watching?

SWEDEN YES

Oops.

I'm getting nervous about the amount of mistakes this team makes

> article comes out lauding the Cubs "best defense ever".
> Unearned run(s) in back to back games

the reverse mojo worked perfectly

Joe panik is the best second basemen in all of baseball.

Definitely not the best defense ever.
Not even close. But they are great.

How many current Cubs will make 100+ million over their career?

>tfw free tix
>Beautiful day
>Hot girls everywhere
>Friend buying beer
>Refreshing breeze
>Watching the best Cub's team in years

Never mind the fact that I'm barely even a baseball fan, can only name 3 players on the team, and have watched a total of ~6 innings this year... since they're going to win it all this year I figured I had to see a game. So for today: Go Cubs, Go!

Forgot pic

...

Might as well become an actual Cubs fan user

What's up swedesbro!

>freddy sanchez

>disliking Lackey

Wtf bro. He's consistent as fuck I love that old nigga.

For real though this would be an amazing NLCS, both teams are so evenly matched

>hunter pence
>season ending injury

pls pick both

I don't dislike him, but I don't think he is consistent. Might just be that our "big 3" is so ridiculous that he seems less good.

sup senpai all good

Sweden YES!
I agree that Lackey isn't very consistent and I probably like the least outside of Second Half Hammel

how can you wish ill on hunter pence

He looks he has autism, like every time he does anything athletic I am just amazed that he does it because his movements and swing are awkward as shit to watch

ur retarded

>grand slam inning
>can win money if jints hit a grand slam this inning
>tfw that person is not going to win any money

while i admire his athleticism, i fear opposing him in the postseason

QQ

where all the screaming yellow parakeet shoops at tho

>screaming
>yellow
>parakeet

>4 hits to 1
>losing 2 to 1
Wtf I hate the Cusb now

Damn, nice squeeze there. Good to see the Giants taking advantage of opportunities rather than squandering them.

>that sqeeze tho

nunez got deem fleet-feetz

>eating Papa Johns
>ever

...

Boring ass game, who wants to watch bunts and sac flies be the only scoring in a game

>he doesn't like suicide squeezes
It's one of the best plays in the game.
You don't deserve to watch baseball. Go away.

>HITTING A BATTER WHEN YOU HAVE 2 STRIKES ON HIM
>THE SHITTY OF SAN FRANCISCO

I do.

>babbys first baseball game

welcome to the thread socal

AL is that way ----------------->

Get out babby league scrub

>giving him all of these (you)s

That guy in the green shirt has been in that seat behind home plate since opening day.

I really need to start working on a retirement plan.

Good luck w/ that. That negro is from a different generation. He beat out the "work until you die" generation that we're part of.

...

who cares, hes dumb man

welp. bye belt seeya next season mate.

You're gonna work til you die user. dwi

DON'T SAY THAT

fuck you doin cubes

you want some shit?

is dat what this is? i c u senpai, i see u, bet, we gon' see whats good next inning

all you gettin fastballs to the noses

panik missed 20 games for less. belt also has a history of concussions and although im really pissed off, he's going to miss some time

>the "work until you die" generation that we're part of
Your generation can find work?

>your
are you talking up or down? I'm 30. I work 6 nights a week.

what kinda work you do user? be honest too, we don't know who the fuk you are

bout to go job hunting this week

i still tear up to harry

Bartender. I'm one of those idiots that went to school for art. But I love what I do. It's good, honest work and it's fun. I was raised in the south, so I guess I gravitate to physical, blue-collarish work.

what you bring home a night? slow vs busy days

>cueto isnt beaming every cube that steps into the box

one spot has gratuity included in the bill, so tips go into my check. I do roughly $3,000 a month from that. One night a week I work at a place that tips out in cash, of which I take home around $200.

its a one run game nigga
i know you want blood but the jints need every w they can get

i see

it ain't glorious pay, but like I said, it feels honest/keeps me busy. and you also meet a lot of [spoiler]women[/spoiler]

true

i guess...

Gotta thank you for helping form all those women who are such easy marks at AA.

*puts $$$ in tip jar*

i hear you, wish i could cover 3000 a month. that would be more than enough for me.

...

wew romo

I remember scary Lopez. I miss scary Lopez.

EH'REEEE GRIANZAAA WITH THE SNAG
