Overflow Thread: Cubs vs. Astros, Saturday 4/5, 12:05 CT

Lee's average is up to .333

with 2 freakin home runs!

He didn't hit his second home run, last year, until May 4th

Look at it this way...

When Sori starts to get on base, and A-Ram gets a few hits. There will be a ton of runs scored with how Lee and Fuku are hitting. Be patient, we still have a LONG way until May.

I think that's how Felix Pie is supposed to be playing?

I noticed that too. Hopefully it's just a medication adjustment. When my uncle has an adjustment his face sometimes gets fuller for a few days as his body adjusts. He is pretty much in the same boat as Santo healthwise (he has only lost one leg though)

We are all waiting for that glorious October night when we finally win it all. Until then we will continue to cheer, never do the wave and hope.

Since this is my first year using BCB...

Does the cheering get less sarcastic when we start winning? Or is every compliment backhanded?

some people would just rather complain

Or maybe, like me, they tend to just watch the game when

the Cubs are winning and come here in order to vent?
