You tell me? How do we determine winners in sports? Iowa has the better all time head to head record, and is the better program. Do occasional upsets occur, of course.

I can't believe the greatest catcher ever didn't catch that throw from Fowler cleanly.
What a moron. I thought this tweet was looking prophetic after the top of the 8th - glad to be wrong.
Excited to see Quintana tomorrow night in Wrigley. And the Cubs have hit Michael Wacha very well over the last couple of years, so hopefully that continues.
Nice comeback win for the Cubs.
Davis was a little shaky in the 9tg, though.

That game right there is why the Cubs will win the division. St. Louis is Lucy pulling the ball out from under Charlie Brown before he kicks it.
Great game, it was my son's first ay Wrigley
Awesome! A day you two will never forget.
Frankly, even had the Cubs lost, in the long run it still would have been an awesome, unforgettable experience.
Cherish it!
Will do, the kid had never witnessed a loss by the Hawkeyes, including the comeback against Pitt. He's my lucky charm. He was bragging about that before the back to back homers by the cards..... glad he was right.Awesome! A day you two will never forget.

Very underrated part of his game. Not many guys his size can run like that. That play in game 7 when he scored from first on rizzzos single was beautiful.
Staying the night? Hit Dell Rhea's Chicken Basket on I-55 tomorrow if you want good chicken.
I'd suggest D'Agostinos for pizza and the teriyaki wings tonight if you son likes to look at 20 year old boobs.
Lots of interesting name being floated around for relief help.
Brad Hand (Mr. Hand)
Justin Wilson
A. J. Ramos
Zach Britton
Joe Smith (Ugh)
Most of the targets appear to be under control for more than this season. I like that. If they can pull a deal along the lines of the Montgomery trade that is even better. A blocked player like Vogelbach and an arm worked out well.

In the postgame, he said something to the effect of, "I got a good read on it, plus I'm really fast."
I watched the last theee innings again on CSN. Excuse me for extra gratification thatbthe game ended on a Molina strikeout.
Baseball is such a frustrating game. Multiple times Cubs hitters squared it up and smoked the ball but right at someone. Then they essentially win the game with a couple gimpy bloop hits. Rizzo gets the weakest game winning double of his life.
But that's the game, same thing pissed me off when I played it, pisses me off when I watch it, but man I love it.

He should have put more stick 'em on his chest protector.
WTF? Bandwagon?Looks like some bandwagon fans have thin skin.
Does being a fan since the Leo the Lip days qualify as 'bandwagon'?
I must be a bandwagoner then, because I only go back to the late days of Vince & Lou...before Harry Caray, Ryne Sandberg & Lee Ella's epic rant about the fans.
Yeah, that's the same age I picked them up. I will give credit to WGN. I could watch them all summer in the afternoons and that made a huge difference.
My first Cubs game in Wrigley was August 8, 1989 against the Expos. Jerome Walton hit a leadoff HR to extend his hitting streak. Sandberg hit a HR late in the game to absolutely make my day and year as a 4 year-old. I was on cloud nine, only to be devastated two months later when Ryno grounded out to second base in Candlestick to end the NLCS. I am thrilled to have seen a WS title, and now I want more.
That is a lot for a guy who missed half of this season, and will be owed $14-15 million next year. Martinez not so much, but we need Hatch and our young pitchers to develop, and Galndo is a lottery ticket.
The Marlins must dump salary this year, and Ramos should top out at $10 million next year.
I just turned over from GoT to see Contreras go deep. So glad I drove to Clinton one night to see him. The ball sizzled off his bat that night. What a find and what hard work for him to get to the majors.
How cool was it for the kid in the Cubs shirt to catch that HR?

Ok, if rondon can get right, that makes us much better. Interested to see if Dillon Maples cam contribute
