hogan873 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 What the hell? Dominating performance by Rodon. Yoan with a huge double. Hernandez proving he was an awesome acquisition. Abreu continuing to own Wrigley. How about a winning thread. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Enjoyed that game...but my god this Cubs team is awful. Every NL central pitcher will see their ERA go down a half point facing them. Edited August 7, 2021 by EloyJenkins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Crappy opponent or not it’s nice to see a semblance of what this team is supposed to be. Great start from Los, dominant bullpen and Jose and Yoan bringing the bats. Good stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

35thstreetswarm Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I was there. What an awesome game. Thinking back to so many crosstown series over the year, I feel fortunate to be in a position to watch this team dominate. I don’t know if that win was sufficiently narrative-furthering to satisfy the connoisseurs, but a day spent high fiving Sox fans at Wrigley Field is always a top day in my book. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Hernandez looks like a great acquisition. I'll be there tomorrow looking for the sweep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) I watched a little early on. Rodon is special, folks. Hope he keeps it up. He is a damn fine pitcher. Sox are stepping up. Cubs got their attention after Sox had the stretch of playing all those lousy Central teams and Sox are focused for this series, baby. Tony is our best manager in a long, long time, yes even better than my idol, Ozzie. It's nice to have a veteran manager Hall of Famer who knows how to expertly run a game. I wouldn't be surprised if Tony figures a way to sweep these Cubbies in Wrigley. Do it Tony. Pick the right pieces to play Sunday.

SonofaRoache Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Very good win today. The pitching was outstanding and we got some power today. Won the series so let's get the sweep boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on being there. What's Wrigley like these days? Clean? Dirty? Still all college kids in the bleachers? Are there Great concessions and bathrooms now after renovation? Is it as beautiful still as before? Any good food there? Back in the day only "good" food to eat at Wrigley was Ron Santo pizza. At Sox park, yumm. Corned beef, roast beef my faves. Also ethnic food and just an all around dining experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Real sound game. Pitching was insane. Offense needs to improve as it's taxing the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossanoveralls Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Seems to me we had those Cubs right where we wanted 'em before the game even started. Said so myself at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Hurtin Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Watched the game, but didn't even turn my computer on until a little while ago. It was a great win, but the Cubs starter was pissing me off being so slow at times. Maybe I don't notice it as much when I'm on the computer and watching at the same time. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if they could even try and reconfigure the rotation to avoid a dallas start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
