IST: Cubs at Giants

[TL1961]

The Cubs have three 5 game (or longer) winning streaks since July 29th. (Nine, six, five-and-counting)

They had two such streaks from 2012-2014.

Cubs came to play tonight

 

[Diehardfan]

Whoa, now Castro is heating up!!!

It's an embarrassment of riches!!!

 

[FrankieLyrical]

Cubs are good, league fucked

 

[Parade_Rain]

Let's hope so, Frankie.

 

[Diehardfan]

Can these umpires be any more inconsistent behind the plate? All of a sudden balls ankle high are no longer strikes....these guys are brutal.

 

[FrankieLyrical]

Completely unnecessary dive by Cogs, but I'll take it

 

[FrankieLyrical]

Let's hope so, Frankie.

Dude, I was cautiously optimistic and borderline pessimistic the whole year but I'm fucking buzzing off the Kool-Aid now! :buttrock:

Hey Frankie, that's my guy, Cogs....

 

[FrankieLyrical]

Hey Frankie, that's my guy, Cogs....

I love me some Cogs bro!

Wait until the sept call ups when Maddon hand plucks some tools to add to the mix.

Eloy Jimenez hit 2 HRs tonight. Batting .285/.332/.425 at 18 in a Northwest Lg full of college guys. Finally, the Cubs have a good prospect.

Oh the lols from the baseball america guys.

 

[FrankieLyrical]

Can't put Starlin in a corner bitches!!!

 

[Bear Pride]

Looks like Castro has done a little thinking on the bench ..... Maddon working his magic again, imo.

 

[Diehardfan]

LOL...

The Cubs have transformed into my video game Cubs!!!

Cubs are playing like a good organization should. A couple guys are injured and others pick up the slack. It's good to see.

Could Castro get it together and get back close to his career numbers? That would present an interesting dilemma.

Hopefully he does so when we inevitably trade him in the offseason his stock is high(er)

I'm guessing LaStella becomes Herrera with Castro and Russell handling second & short....but when Soler comes back, you have another log jam.

Yes. I am more looking at the trade possibilities in the off season.

Jake made his own problem there....8 run lead, you take the sure out.
