All right. Have to stand up for the rest of this. Damn
Bunt?
Which he might lol
@globaljaybird using it for toilet paper tomorrow first unless he does something miraculous base running
Hell, I actually feel better with the cubs on the ropes. Go cubs go!
Worst pitch chapman threw if irony matters
Im a hopeless optimist for any team except the cubs... feel pretty good but
Tempted to to go curl up in a corner. Nothing good can happen at this point. Holding my breath...
There will be a Heyward shirt burning ceremony sometime next February when it's cold and we need some flames on the deck. Good god.
ROSSSSSSSS!!!!! That is the most awesome homer since that dodger guy.
@wissoxfan83 Dude, you have an LSU T-shirt. Kid at school there. You posted a pic in another thread. Were full-blown Simmons fanboy all last year. Own it.
Nice managerial action.
Ugh. Would've like to see another inning or two of Hendricks. Got jobbed on a couple pitch calls, but he was looking unhittable IMO.

The offense did NOT look smooth because a 3yr starter (Ellis), who we ran the whole offense thru, is gone. And also gone is another 3yr starter in Seldon. Bragg looked spotty.
And 5-year guy Jamari Traylor also gone. This team is lacking an aggressive, havoc-wreaking athletic freak. (Don't need that type of player all the time, but once in a while you need some power.)

Go Jayhawks…(.And Badgers!)
And LSU Tigers too, right?
Don't worry, I get it. I grew up in NW Illinois (life-long cub/bears/bulls/Illini fan), but I've moved around enough to follow and root for a few other local teams... as long as they weren't in the same conference or league.
All right, guys. One more W.
Andre Dawson would have thrown a perfect strike, but that was still a nice damn throw by Heyward.
@brooksmd Who did Rose put money on though
Loving the insurance runs. Maddon seriously going to leave Chapman in and go with all starters tomorrow?
Maybe tomorrow, Jason. Be a hero.
I bought a Heyward shirt just to piss off my Cardinal fan inlaws... I would love it if he would finally do something. At this point, I'm not convinced he's not a St. Louis plant.
Two pitches, out of the inning, and a jammed knee. Ice it up and get out of there.
Not sure how I feel about Chapman in the 7th again, so I guess I'll just watch and hope he only throws 5 or 6 pitches.
@globaljaybird Lightfoot played pretty well. Haven't seen a box score, but he must have been in at least 15 minutes. 5 boards, some free throws. Going to be a tough dude.
Saw some good, bad, and ugly. Should be a fun season!
It seems weird not to have three other good players on the bench to give some playing time
@Crimsonorblue22 Exhibition so it doesn't count
Mason with the goal tend. He ought to be proud of that!
@BShark Nope. He's going to be good!
77-63 KU
@wissoxfan83 7-1 cubs
What the hell, Bragg? LOL
Nice little screen by Bragg for JJ
@Crimsonorblue22 Good lord, how long was his sweep before?
This team needs a barber.
JJ does have an ugly jump shot
@Bwag not exactly pretty!
We look worse!
Long way to go in this one
HELL YES
Grand slam cubbies! up 7-0 in the third
Man, it would be nice to be able to count on Svi hitting those at a 3/5 rate
Small sample size, but I felt a lot better about this season an hour ago.
Jackson's hair cushioned his impact
It appears Lucas has not improved on his 6" vertical leaping ability
@kjayhawks I saw two screens on offense so far and one was a foul
When things go cold this year, it's going to be nice to have graham and mason on this team
Getting a man crush on Vick
Cubs up 3-0 after a half inning. Sports overload for me tonight.
