this shot today from @WrigleyAerials is FANTASTIC!!!!

I know I looked this up one time as to the reason why, but it still freaks me out when I see a green river.

The interesting thing about the green river is that it's done with ORANGE dye.

It looked pretty snazzy in Cubbie Blue, too!

Great game tonight! It made up for this afternoon’s. Haha!

Justin Grimm is now a Royal...reunited with Jason Hammel/ Soler 1 year contract, Seems like KC is where a lot of Ex Cubs land (ironically in todays split squad, Cubs play KC Grimmer just might be opposing the Cubs at some point today

Great game tonight! It made up for this afternoon’s. Haha!

yeah, the luck of the Irish was NOT with Eddie yesterday. Well, the first few innings were looking great and then those walks again You can't load the bases with Perez coming up..

guys....my concerns over Justin Wilson are back. All of our pitching was in the dumpster today, lol, but Wilson, I mean, I try to look for the up side but I really have trouble finding it with him.

Maybe short leash at worst. Hancock seems interesting per the articles.

yeah, Joe seems hyped on him but we will see. I am hoping Wilson adjusts to not having Avila around, starts acting like part of the team but the guy just has bad vibes pouring out of him right now. poor Eddie yesterday~ he really started strong and then crashed and burned. Rob Z will hopefully start to take things seriously soon...strikes me as comfy in Iowa so why mess with it, KWIM? Monty all over the place again too. Chattwood, or Chit-Chat for you lol~ not worried about him esp as a 5th. I think his consistency is around the corner Cishek, hmmm....watching and learning about him but today Willson giveth and Wilson taketh away

The countdown......

LA's Justin Turner was HBP in the wrist yesterday~fractured, out indefinitely. Makes me worry about Rizzo as Turner crowds the plate much like our #44.


Hendrick's has strep throat..that is NOT fun

That's what happened to Freddie Freeman of the Braves last year. Here's praying it doesn't happen to Rizzo.

Look's like Cobb is going to Baltimore~ $50 million over 3 years. That's a better deal than the Cubs offered him by about 8 million. So the Brewer's didn't get him, Yu, Lynn or Jake

ETA: Cobb got 4 years~56-60 million-ish

5-1 against Yu's former Texas Ranger's

KB finally took care of that ST home run today! Schwarb's added another one to his tally~JHey with a double, Rizzo, Willy, Happ with a nice bunt to keep the inning alive..e'rybody doing quite nicely today. Shwarb's/Baez relay to get runner out at home. Kyle flew across the field to get the ball and get it to Javy who lasered it to Willy. Rizzo HBP but that Superman coat of steel somehow shrugged it off again.
Yu sent 12 in row back to warm the bench..looking good so far.

 

[robinb]

The relay from from Schwarbs to Javy to Wills to get Joey Gallo at the plate was AMAZING!

I wasn’t able to watch the game but my son sent me a video of the throw - crazy good!!!

 

[FINFAN]

Oh and Willy was safe when he was called out stealing second. That out ended the inning when Schwarb's was at bat. When Kyle came up to bat at the top of the next inning, he homered...should have had 2 more runs on there as Rizzo was on 3rd when Willy got called out.
