Something happened last night in Chicago that's never happened before in the history of MLB.

It's fun watching Joe being able to plug and play different guys and for the most part they don't miss a beat. I'm sure there will be rough patches but this is fun.

Poor Nats. Maybe they can avoid the 4-game sweep tomorrow. All they have to do is beat Jake Arrieta.

I'm in Chicago for work and went to the game today, it was my first Cubs/MLB game and I had a great time. Hopefully I'll end up back here soon and can go again.

Baez walk off HR for a 4-game sweep of the Nats. Too bad Jake couldn't get #7.

Cubs hitters having fun robbing Hector Rondon of saves

quote:
"When you're on the bench and you're up three runs, two runs, whatever, we have a game we call Screw the Closer," Ross explained, laughing and admitting 'screw' isn't the word the players actually use. "We want to score more so he doesn't get the save."

1-2-3 9th for Rondon as the Cubs hold on for an 8-7 win. Not a good night for the pitching staff, save for our closer.

i keep thinking of "screw the closer" and maybe the bullpen said, screw that. Rondon was dominant. l

Cubs try ramping down expectations after hot start

quote:
While Chicago's potent offense has gotten much of the attention, the Cubs entered Tuesday with three starting pitchers who have an ERA below 2.00. Those three -- Jake Arrieta (1.13), Jon Lester (1.58) and Jason Hammel (1.85) -- are ranked among the top four ERAs in the National League. That is unlikely to continue all season.

I'm going to Chicago for work, and I might have the opportunity to catch the Cubs game on Sunday. Any recommendations on the best way to buy a ticket (seatgeek?) and getting to/ from the game without a personal car?

Take the Red Line to the game. Stops just outside RF. Tickets for Sunday games aren't all that expensive, coming from someone selling lots of tickets. StubHub is probably your best bet as they have a deal with the Cubs so that's where most season ticket holders resell their extras.

Red line north to Addison

I would just buy off the street outside the stadium. Usually $50/seat, have a few beers first and offer $20 cash 10 mins before first pitch.

I went twice last season, it was a blast.

I'll be there Sunday as well. Feel free to message me, we can meet at Murphy's for a pre-game!

I'm 0-2 so far going to games this year. Need a win this time.

As for tickets, buy on the street or stubhub....you won't have a problem.

This has probably been said thirty times in this thread, but...

We got Addi for three months of Jeff Samardzija.

Thanks again, Oakland.
