World Champion Chicago Cubs @ Chicago White Sox Game Final Game Gamethread

Cubs are up 2-1 in this year's Cross Town Series, If they win tonight. They reclaim the Cross Town Cup. If the White Sox win. They have to rely on bullshit Soccer technicalities to claim they keep the cup like they've done for the last two years.

>IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS ONE GAME FOR THE BP© Crosstown Cup™ Presented by Comcast Sports Net©

Isn't the series at 2-1? Isn't the worst the Cubs can do tie it?

Tie = cup stays with last years cup holder

>neither team cares about the cup

tie means the cup stays with the previous owner, which is the white sox

>Its the last game of any importance to be played on the southside in 2017

Gotta love OP's enthusiasm for a trophy that no player and no fan except for a handful of morons cares about.

t. who's fag who's about to lose the Cup

...

>W-w--w-w-we didn't care about that stupid cup in the first place!
Cry moar bitch nigga

youre retarded af

Its like all the Oak Bucket, Silver Boot, Golden Tampon trophies that are still around in college football. Media had to stop interviewing players about them because the consensus is "If it gets me an NFL contract I'll care. Until then I won't even google it."
This cup is about the same. I forget the Sox have the thing until this time each year and only remember because the gomers on 670 and 1000 try to ram it down ur throat

>succs win
>they win a cup with a 2-2 draw
I don't think this semen slurping sport is for me la.

It's 4pm and Hawk Harrelson is still butthurt over Lackey hitting 4 batters.

>they win a cup with a 2-2 draw
Just like last year

Do the Sox even have a mascot?

>4pm
>west coast lifelong
kek

Clark is a piece of shit and should be set on fire

t. fag who likes to rage becuz his Cubs might actually get the cup for once

Thanks for the (You) but Im actually a Cubs fan

Ribbie and Rhubarb?

Clark is over 3 years old and was an embarrassment when he was unveiled to the public and still is

They got a bootleg version of Phillie Phanatic.

Nah m8...Andy Teh Clown

southpaw

>only hope to defend the cup is big Mike
Oh boy...

we need this offense to get going. way going.

And I thought the Cubs mascot sucked. Good god.

Confirmed for centagenarian

hes fun when he does his wavy arm thing behind the plate

But this thing is just lazy. He's not even in a full suit. It's just a guy with a head, arms and shoes.

At least he Cubs mascot can be made fun of because it looks like something a Child molester would make to get close to children, this is just sad.

I kek'd harder than I should have.
Have a (You)

who /watchingrepublicansimplode/ here?

...

Wouldn't it be wonderful that if Trump does end the world. Because he is going to resort to attacking another country or using nukes to distract people from the fact he conspired with the Russian attack on America. That it will be when the Cubs are the world champions?

I wan da gup

What are you going to do with a piece of shit hunk of metal that holds no actual intrinsic value? It doesn't have any magical powers, unless it makes the holder of the cup to be complete and utter shit.

Dont give a fuck what anybody says. I am not arguing with all those dubs

>competition with even number attempts

The Cubs broke the Curse of the Billy Goat. The Cubs will break the Cruse of the Crosstown Cup.

This desu

what curse?

they win the series without it

win today & let the whos keep it

I saw Kelly Crull at Starbucks today. Wanted to say hi but beta'd out. She had flip flops on and has amazing feet.

should have pulled the ol' "bend down to tie shoes and sniff ass" trick

You're missing the point of the joke.

...

...

I was going to try and get a picture but others were in line and it would have been obvious

>listening to 1000
>ever

here we go

come on boys

miracle needed

>last late game I can watch in three weeks

Gonna miss y'all, fampais.

Go Cubs!

RIP Swedenbro

>most fans have short term memory
oh I wish. Belly's stint with the Sox is still in my mouth and it's terrible.

I'm listening to the cubs announcers this game because I literally cannot tolerate Hawk's whining anymore

>rizzo steals a base
wat

Turn on radio broadcast whilst TVing senpai

don't worry schwarber will hit it right into an infielders glove

I thought Hawk didn't even do home games anymore, am I mistaken?

sox can't throw anyone out anyway.

What's the purpose of trying to steal on a 2-2 count with 2 outs?

Anyone have a live white sox broadcast. Want to listen to Hawk.

>only other option is 670 which is just as bad
What do?

just turned on the whitesox broadcast to hear hawk bitch and moan

That never syncs up right.

Probably an exception because muh crosstown.

Next year he's only doing Sunday home games and then he gone.

It's on WGN.

he's got the speed of a young mark grace

He always does the crosstown because he has bad blood with the Cubs that he's never fully admitted publicly.

sportshd.me/mlb/491620/h

670 is significantly better

>Want to listen to Hawk.
Why would you voluntarily subject yourself to that.

Got mlb premium?

come on pelf...

670 does for me. Sometimes theres a 5sec lag on tv but most times its bretty close

>Next year he's only doing Sunday home games and then he gone.
Good riddance

damn Schwarber still sucks

Thanks.

Hawk is hilarious. I also like how passionate he is. Reminds me of Santo broadcast on Radio.

24 pitches

wow youre a richfag...

Can you play the radio audio over the video on MLB.tv? I have it and didn't think it was possible.

phew

jesus big mike

>Schwarbs

I got mlb premium for 10 bucks almost 2 months ago. Just need to go for the may-june time sales.

>Hawk is hilarious. I also like how passionate he is. Reminds me of Santo broadcast on Radio.

It's a lot of misplaced passion and catchphrases. Very little insight.

Even if you despise me, you lighten up the threads. The good news is there's still going to be a lot of afternoon games since the city refused to allow more night games.

He got him to a full count and didn't go down swinging. It's an improvement.

You can also watch the game without commentators period.


It was handed out like candy if you have T-Mobile at the start of the season.

>cusb catchers in charge of catching popups

Those eyes are nightmare fuel. I hated mascots / adults in cartoon characters as a kid in general I would have left the ballpark and waited in the car if I saw that. At least it has pants, though.

hit a hr because of wilson bullshit

It was a blunder, but expected considering the situation where both Willy and Bryant were thinking they each had a beat on the ball which made them more conservative in going after the ball since they didn't want to risk smashing into each other.

Ended up being an out, so more than inflating the pitch count by 2, no harm.

>1-2-3
fun shit

1
2
3

damn it abroo that was a breaking ball right there.

Daily reminder that Jason Benetti is reddit. Hawk is /ourguy/

lester and kb looked pissed

the cusb postbreak string of not allowing a 1st inning run continues

>do they still lead the league?

I find it entertaining and his stories are pretty good too. Cubs broadcast is honestly boring. Liked it when it was Bob and Len.

>Yohan Moncada

hell no

They're both god awful, I just wish Steve Stone would do all of the talking himself.

Reynaldo Lopez when?

>Hawk is /ourguy/

You have to be mentally retarded to find Hawk funny or entertaining.

not gonna lie the wisconsin brewers look like a huge threats to win the division with the additions of kyle schwards

Lester's going to be upset since it should have been an out and Byrant's going to be upset with himself. It's not going to cause any drama though.


>Cubs starters have not giving up a first inning run since the start after the All Star Break.
We're on the up and up.
