That ball wasn't hit deep enough for Rizzo to get thrown out at home.

0-2 to Bote with the ball not yet crossing the plate, and the bat not moving.

What sucks is you can see Yu dial it in and get mad after these Hrs and strike batters out. But it's like where was that before mutha fucka?
Where were you the last 2 nights ma fucka? lol. Didn’t want to hear the great Nostradamus be accurate about his predicted road trip record? All kidding aside but man what do you honestly think is going on with the cubs? I think honestly that the hunger isn’t there anymore from the core guys since they won the World Series for the first time in 108 years and feel like they already did cubs fans a favor forever and they just don’t want it again. I don’t ever see passion outside of Baez and Contreras really

Well at least they didn't trade for Archer.

Does he look rough out there? Because that is one way to generate more O. Heyward in CF.
he had a diving catch that he wouldnt of had to dive for if he had more work at RF but other than that, pretty low key night out there for him.

Lots of guys around the league, or in other pro sports, play with mock passion. Many are clowns.
It fools the dumber fans, but not those of us who see through it.

I dont buy the passion and the hunger with this Cubs team. Its a marathon and not a sprint. Once you get to the playoffs, shit needs to be tight. This is the dog days of summer and I dont expect the Cubs to win every game.
I also think that the entire division is knocking at the door. They all want to knock the cubs off the perch and they are all playing good baseball.
I still believe and try not to freak out with every step along the way.
All that said? This is the Yankees year. No one is touching what they have paid for.

Well, I wasn't expecting a two HR night from Carrot Top, but I will surely take it.

And don't call me Shirley.

I have had my TV muted. Have Len and JD been discussing how great Darvish has pitched again?

Meanwhile.....
Cubs to homer from both sides of the plate - reads like a Who's That more than a Who's Who.
Caratini
Ian Happ
Dionner Navarro
Mark Bellhorn twice, eight weeks apart, including once in the same inning.
Ellis Burton twice
and
Augie Galan

Yu was Yu, but he produced a ton of early contact and over all, not his worst outing. Here is hoping we keep this lead and sick the vulture on em!

No, but he needs to throw that fastball with confidence like he was doing. He gets that confidence to throw that. He is a different pitcher.

Welp, only one at bat. But, looking at his stats. He is either going to run into them or miss them
