C is for Cubbie. That's good enough for me. 😃

@bleedcubbieblue The moment has been prepared for, but thanks for the heads-up.

@TheBlogfines This sounds like going to Vegas for a week, losing your stake in the first two days - then running desperately to the ATM to borrow against your credit card to try and get it back.

It might work out, but chances are you end up losing even worse, with a bigger hole to dig out of.

And due to some severe limitations on the "Feed" section threads, for the game itself we've jumped back to last night's overflow thread to follow the game:

@CubsNHS_Bot @Cubs Shag Crawford, also behind the plate for the Marichal-Roseboro bludgeoning, and he tossed Earl Weaver in the '69 World Series, the first manager ejection in 34 years. Totally set fire to, and lost control of this game.

Shag Crawford, baseball pioneer... of "The Ump Show".

@BCB_Sara Stinkin' Cardinals fans!

@JesseRogersESPN I was interested in the reaction of Betts, or the MLBPA's Tony Clark on the obvious player safety issue involved here.

For those who apparently missed journalism school on their way to becoming a "reporter", your "story" was sorely lacking. Like your apology.

Shame at you.

As Wenceel Pérez singles on a line drive to right field with one out in the second for the Tigers to open the 2024 playoffs, a reminder that the Cubs no-playoff games streak turns 4 tomorrow.

(Enjoy Jed Hoyer not spending into the luxury tax again this winter.)

@BrentButler Well either way, that should have put it out of reach, we had Happ at 27 coming into today.
