Several hawks behind home plate today , A former great Hawkeye basketball player and a former Iowa athletic department employee.
El Mago with a f*cking ridiculous no-look tag.
Honestly. It was an amazing play to just have caught it and avoid the error. And then the fcker tagged him!! Jaw dropping play.
Sandberg will forever be my favorite player because he was my childhood idol. I have loved other Cubs over the years....but I've never had as much fun watching any individual player as I do watching El Mago.

This. I still have my framed Nike Sandberg cornerstone poster are someplace.
I understand a funk at the plate. Every hitter suffers through that. Russell seems to have forgotten how to run the bases, and how to field. Those things shouldn’t leave you. He appears to lack focus.
There were also a couple of times that all the infielders gathered at the mound, and Russell was still at his position without joining them. Once he joined them late and another time he started to go to the mound, but they were already done. He was completely checked out yesterday.
I’m pumped now!
Just scored some great seats for Cubs v Brewers at Wrigley Friday 8/2.
I’ll be taking my boys to their first Cubbie game

Pure awesome. My first game at Wrigley with my dad was a chilly Spring Day that featured Fergie Jenkins facing JR Richard. Fergie got beat up bad.I’m pumped now!

He should have worked a little harder at not throwing the ball in the dirt.
What the hell is Edwards’ problem??!!
I realize the Cubs scored only one stinking run, but as soon as Edwards came in I knew the Padres were going to blow it open.
Were the fans booing him?
I certainly hope I heard that right on the tv.

I gave carl the benefit for a long time, but I just don't know what the hell happened to him. Location sucks, movement has disappeared and now I see a fast ball sitting around 92? What the hell
At least the hitters gave us a fighting chance today

If Rizzo's ground ball had gotten past Hosmer in the 1st, it could have been the start of something big(ger).I gave carl the benefit for a long time, but I just don't know what the hell happened to him.

Rizzo batted .500 on this home stand including a GS. Nice to see him hitting again.

Relievers I believe have a short shelf life from over-use. I don't believe the human body is made to pitch hard 100 total times per year.
He's not on the 40-man, so you're cutting someone.
I get the anti-Edwards sentiment, but I want to see a couple more outings before I'm willing to just tcut him loose
7-2 is a good homestand. Now, they need to find a way to go 5-4 on the upcoming road trip. The Cubs have not had a good road trip in a long time, so this one is very important.
Can we PLEASE see less Albert Almora? The only players in MLB with a worse wRC+ than him in the last calendar year (minimum 400 PA's) are Chris Davis and Billy Hamilton. His glove is decent, but a lot of his circus catches would be routine for CF's with normal speed (Almora is slower than a turtle). I wonder if Theo is bound and determined to see his first Cubs draft pick be deemed a win.

Either someone in the Tigers front office really wants to push a trade involving Nicholas Castellanos, or a lot of people are being lazy and citing each others rumors as proof of a potential trade.
It's going to be an an interesting run up to the trade deadline. Will Theo be bold?

Mike Marshall pitched in 106 games and over 200 innings for the Dodgers in 1974.
Why on earth did Joe leave him in there after he walked the first batter to load the bases? I suppose Joe being Joe just wanted to build his confidence, but you just knew that was a bases-loaded walk (or HBP) waiting to happen. Being a players' manager has run its course.
What is the appeal of Castellanos? Is he that much of an upgrade over Schwarber?
This hole at second base is bad. There has to be an average 2B/leadoff guy somewhere out there. Russell/Bote/Descalso just make me want to puke.
Give Happ another shot.
