To give you an idea
Just how poor the Pirates are as an MLB Francise….
They dont have banners from thier World Series victories.
They have a banner for an All-Star game they hosted 3 years ago.

hey guys...
If we go to 32 over tonight…when was the last time the cubs were there.
They only got to 31 over in 84 I think…

Quoth Al
More history: the Cubs are 31 games over .500 for the first time since September 30, 1984, the last day of that regular season; they finished 1984 at 96-65. Their peak that year was 32 games over, at 90-58 on September 15. Before that, the last time the Cubs were 32 games over .500 was on September 2, 1969, at 84-52.

he’d thrown that many pitches and only gotten one out.
But — he’d also thrown a wild pitch on a strikeout, walked a batter and allowed a two-run single. He’s accomplished things with those pitches!

Not necessarily, Soto set up down the middle and Zambrano's two seam got away from him and darted WAY in.
I don’t see how it’s Soto’s fault that Zambrano couldn’t hit the spot. Yes, it’s a passed ball, but it doesn’t help your catcher when the pitcher crosses you up.

Issues?
With that team?
The Cubs? because they have the most wins in the NL hell the best record in the Majors.
If your looking for a team with issues… The Cubs are a team with very few.

would have like to see dlee try and stretch out to get that on a shorter hop, but i can’t argue with a gold glove first baseman. Everyones allowed a mistake or two in a season.
Its a funny story actually.
