This is why you have Zobrist lead off, make em work.

Schwarber is 5th in the NL in pitches per PA, Zobrist is 19th. :ssh:

But they are #1 and #2 on the Cubs in that category, respectively.

What Not to Throw on an 0-2 Count

By Eddie Butler

The only thing better than putting up a billion runs on Jeff Samardzija would be putting up a billion runs on Matt Garza.

The last time I took a shower during a day game, Javy hit a grand slam while I was in there. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO, CUBS.

No, I won't be in Chicago until late Friday night (which is to say no game for me). You guys still game to meet up for a little on, say, Saturday?

Sunday would work better for me, but Saturday night would probably also work.

RE: Meetup

Sunday's game starts at 3:10. We could meet up somewhere for a late lunch and watch the game? Or maybe meet up at a bar first, watch the game, then get dinner?

Maybe it's because I live there, but I much prefer the bars in Wicker Park over Wrigleyville.

Explosionface posted:

I'm leaning toward the first option. We'll probably peace out for most of the game, but it would be cool to meet dudes and eat together. I'm waiting for some sort of thoughts from my girlfriend before I commit to too much.

Popete posted:

I concur.

I'm down for a Goon meet, I have a double header that night at 5:00 so I'd likely only stay for a short time as it's out in the burbs.

Seems like lunch is the best option for everyone rather than staying to watch the game. So like noon or 1pm on Sunday?

Some good lunch/beer options:
  • Revolution Brewpub in Logan Square, right by the California Blue Line stop. Great beer and great food.
  • Links Taproom in Wicker Park, they have ~40 beers on tap at all times and good sausages/pub fare.
  • Piece in Wicker Park, really good pizza (not deep dish) and they brew their own award-winning beer.
  • Pequod's in Lincoln Park. My favorite deep dish, but not a very good beer selection.

If anyone else has other suggestions, feel free to add to the list. It'd be nice if we could nail down a time and place, then people can PM me for my cell.

Let's do links since we're already doing Piece on Saturday :v:

We're probably also doing Links on Saturday, but just beer and not food :v:

Also, I could eat Piece for literally every meal and not get sick of it.

I feel like the Cubs have to lead the majors in pickoffs. Not only from pitchers, but from catchers too.

Also, my :siren: EXECUTIVE DECISION :siren: is Links at noon on Sunday. PM me if you need my cell or just look for the guy wearing the giant World Series ring to find us. :smug:

I feel like this is a much more Cubs fan-heavy meetup than the last one. If my girlfriend's family doesn't steal me away for the whole day, am I going to get beaten up if I attend?

I'm pretty sure you could beat us all up at the same time.
