You sound like
one of the Sports Anchors for the TV station I work at. He says “And the Buckeyes try to keep it going,” every chance he gets.
He’s a jackass, BTW. Not saying you are, or anything, but he certainly is.
Long days and pleasant nights.

I'm impressed with the anti-Z on the mound.
The Cubs haven’t exactly played pristine defense behind him, but he has kept his composure and gotten the next guy out.

He was playing shallow, but he got to the ball. Do they realize that CFs can run also?

I would take Harden out
Not because of his struggles, I think he just has no interest in pitching to wright. Just no need to press him this much.

The Cubs would be better off losing this game than having to have it resumed or replayed after the season if it’s called because of the weather.
"Earthly fame is naught but a breath of wind, which now comes hence and now comes thence, changing its name because it changes quarter." -- Dante, Purgatorio, Canto XI

Given our success against these new yorkers it could hurt us with the additional day off and the opponent.

i still am in shock that a year has gone by so fast
seems like only YESTERDAY we watched this guy named Rich Hill and some other dudes pound the snot out of this NL team in Cincinatti ..
Then there was this NLDS series involving this team called the Cubs who died in 3 .. and a team beating them named after Snakes ..
Well, Next Year is here .. and Jack's century's gotta end some time .. GO CUBBIES!

Fukodome, no matter who the opposing pitcher is.
My theory is, put your best defense on the field and do everything you can to stop the other team from scoring.
