Probably not this year. But they won't stay on top of the NL central after 2015.

Hey there Fellow Cub fans….So my girlfriend and I are heading out west for the Giants vs Cubs games wends and thurs. Keep an eye out for me in the right field bleachers front row close to the right field foul pole. I will be wearing a Gaudy florescent Pink hat so my buddies back home can see my ugly ass when ever the ESPN cameras pan out to the right field Wall. GO CUBS!!!!

Have a safe & fun trip! I'd love to go to AT&T Park some day!

It's been 7 yrs since we've had a reason to be excited, we should enjoy it. I hear you though, keeping it in perspective. Gonna need a lot of caffeine the next few days, plan on staying up late for these games.

yeah. I got to see them these weekend because I live within the Braves viewing area... I am thinking about purchasing the MLB package... been a long time since 2008

Oh yeah? How so? Their pitching staff is deep. Young talent coming up.

Yup....all year the Cardinals have been winning the division with their young talent. Peralta and Molina are the only guys deep into their career that are consistently in the lineup and you could maybe include Marp in that but he's still fairly young. Guys like Wong, Grichuk and Piscotty are gonna be studs and Martinez and Wacha are the gonna be the best 1-2 punch in the league sooner than later. They have smart management, a great farm system and a new TV deal that kicks in in the next couple years.

This is not a thread about the fucking Cardinals.

True... guess I should have said former employees.

Well, the cubs young talent is better than the cardinals young talent. That's how they will win the central in 2016. If you compare rosters, the cubs will have a better offense next year. Pitching will always be an issue for the cubs. But that's where the Theo will have to earn his money in the off season.

Good stuff last night!!

Lets win tonight, and officially put the Giants in our rearview mirror.

8.5 games back on 8/27?
BYE BYE!!!!

pureoc · August 2015

Denorfia, Sczur and Herrera in the lineup with Harren pitching vs Baumgartner. WTF? I don't like our chances at all.

pureoc · August 2015

Article in Trib saying Cubs TV ratings have doubled from last yr and this past months games are 5x higher than last year's average. Once again great call WGN America.

Chicago Cubs baseball!!!
