10 games into the season Jose Veras can go f*** himself. Give me Parker or Rosscup (until Vizcaino is ready of course).

I'm glad I was able to start the top of page 47 on such a positive note...

Can't expect Theo to flip everyone he signs to those contracts.

Glad they got the W because next two I am not counting on.

Facing Wacha today in the rubber game of the series.

Ruggiano with a single followed by a Rizzo bomb in the first.

Renteria sucks. He just bunted with the 7-hole hitter. WHY GIVE AWAY AN OUT WITH KALISH AND BARNEY UP NEXT?! Those ****heads couldn't hit Oprah with a canoe paddle from 6" away.

18 scoreless innings for the Cubs today. It's only been 52 years since they were last shut out in a DH.

Barney sucks. Need to get rid of him. Hopefully Baez can tear it up and give this team a facelift in a couple months.

How long do we theo?

Javy is on the DL right now.

Should be back this weekend

WE SCORED A RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only 24 scoreless innings in a row before the 7th today.

8 runs? who are these guys?

I've been away from the board a couple days as I caught up on the DVR... I'm assuming you're taking about Castillo vs the Yankees? during the Reds game on Friday, Len and JD acknowledged that Castillo admitted to bunting on his own and that Renteria didn't know... Renteria claimed he wouldn't have bunted in that situation... take it FWIW...

Yeah, heard Renteria say that in the post game presser.

Happy 100th birthday to Wrigley Field!

Happy 100th!

This guest person in the booth on WGN is giving a history lesson on the field right now, pretty awesome to learn about.

What a Cub way to lose today. I am beginning to hate this team.

this has been kinda routine for the last hundred years or so, hasn't it?

This is why shark is no way wants to sign an extension...I don't think he buys in to the teams competitiveness on the horizon

And we have no one who wants to step up in the 9th inning

YAY! lets fix the bullpen with Neil Ramirez and his 7.71 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in the PCL

The Cubs reached a new high...tying a series, taking 2 of 4 from the other "race to last for the #1 pick" team in the NL, the Diamondbacks. It also marked their first consecutive victories on the season, in games #17 and 18.

because I need some form of amusement and satisfaction this season... after nearly a month in, the cardinals are dead last in baseball in team NERD. suck it, cardinals!

Cubs on Fox Sports 1 today.

since i'm not a twitter or instagram stocker, i never saw pic this until the ESPN.com article today... but it begs the question... which one of you Cubs thread regulars is JFF?

Johnny does have a TexAgs account but his username is not known.

Good news! Now that Hop has brought Websider over TexAgs, you can now expect another regular to wallow in Cubs misery on this thread.

Cubs with 17 runs against the stupid Cardinals tonight.

bad news is they won't score 17 runs the rest of the week.

15 total runs in Shark's 8 starts this year

shark can't be happy about that last night. He isn't going to re-sign anyway, so screw him.

A friend gave me an old program from a Cubs game they went to in 1977.

They were playing the Big Red Machine, so it was cool seeing the lineup of Griffey, Rose, Morgan, Foster, Bench to start off. (The Reds won the game).

Schlitz and Old Style advertised on the back.

3 doubleheaders scheduled in the coming weeks.

$5.00 for box seats, $1.50 to sit in the bleachers.

55 cents for a hot dog. 30 cents for a coke or popcorn. 25 cents for a cigar. 75 cents for a beer.

"The organ music at Wrigley Field is provided by a Lowrey organ, played by Vance Feathergill, and a Gibson amplification system".

Very cool.

Cubs win today and take 2 out of 3 from the first place Brewers.

My dad has some old programs when he grew up in Chicago seeing Billy Williams and crew. Pretty cool.

Cubs beat Tanaka tonight

Also, have any of y'all paid attention to Mike Olt's stat line? It's really strange and I can't figure him out.
