Quintana is pitching well

They should call him KKuintana

>tfw you remember how simple life used to be when you were a kid

FLIP BRO!

>Cubs game on
>But the Orville is on too
>Yea Forums's live reaction threads are one of the few reasons that it's not total shit
A tough choice.

>That strike zone that Q got to strike out the side
Nice, but again for consistency and principle
That's why we need an electronic strike zone.

The weather is garbage in Chicago right now, I'm not sure I'd want to be there either.

I put $50 on cubs -1.5

Post betslip bro

I ain’t whiting out my confirmation numbers on my phone.

Please stop losing

>Thinking this is bad weather
Just wait for it to get really bad.

What happened? It was such a good start.

uhm...

> all these strike outs
How about taking some pitches ffs

The ump's strike zone is awful, he's getting shit on by both sides. If he doesn't tighten it up, someone's going to get tossed.
At least he doesn't have a short fuse, an asshole ump would have tossed Maddon for his chirping.

Caratini robbed on a home run, but still gets a standing double.

I couldve made that play!

>tfw not going to the strip club after the game

Hold me bros

Are there any good stripe clubs in Chicago?
I'm going to punch you if you say the Admiral.

Beats me, I moved to goddamn Minneapolis and have never been to a Chicago strip club.

There are a few decent strip clubs here tho

>strip clubs
ew

Fuuuuck

That was a good catch though.

Attached: 1514055790445.gif (800x450, 2.63M)

oh fuck off Melky...nice catch

Baez needs to hit a home run off Musgrove as payback for that dirty slide last year.

>Yu Darvish
He's being sued now.

Before looking it up, make a prediction as to why he's being sued.

My guess: bar incident

I take back what i said about Cabrera, he's an asshole.

fraud

Who would have expected 34 year old Melky to do anything impressive in right field.

I bet you've never even been.

7 K's for KKKKKKKuintana

He's having a truly #blessed game

you're right

Explain to us what makes a stripe club good.
The food? I went to a casino once and the buffet was the best part.

Are you gay or something?

DAT PLAY BY BRYANT

The food is actually pretty decent at the clubs I've been to.

The best part is looking at boobs and butts and flirting with the strippers.

no
I went to the casino and got free soda!

>naked girls dancing
>staring is encouraged
bretty self explanatory

damn really? the idea of strip club food is repugnant

I'm assuming the quality of breasts vary from the talent at each club.

Is there a purpose to the flirting when you know it won't get you anywhere?

I ended making $125. My only regret was not doing max bet for the wheel of fortune game because I hit what would have been the jackpot and would have won $750k. Instead i just got $200. Dem's the breaks.

>damn really? the idea of strip club food is repugnant

Yeah, the nicer clubs have their own kitchen and everything. The lower end clubs usually have pizzas ovens to heat you up a personal pizza or something.

One strip club here even has a hot dog buffet at midnight.

>heyward is the best cubs hitter
when do they finally trade him?

>I'm assuming the quality of breasts vary from the talent at each club.
Well yeah, it's just like every girls. Most clubs will have a good variety of breasts. Everything from small and perky, to medium size, to big naturals to BIG HONKIN' FAKES.

>Is there a purpose to the flirting when you know it won't get you anywhere?
Do it right and maybe you can date or fuck a stripper. I've met a few strippers who dated guys that they met at the club and I banged one stripper.

Hopefully never if he keeps it up.

Does this Doug Glanville dude bug anyone else lads?

put him at leadoff then he's always been good at seeing lots of pitches and rarely striking out

>Do it right
I'm just going to chuckle at that. 95% of people on Yea Forums don't know how to talk to women. it's just a matter of living with it, or becoming one of those incels. I almost pity them.

if heyward actually can start hitting then the lineup can finally have the leadoff hitter they've been looking for since fowler and maybe the offense will finally be consistent

>95% of people on Yea Forums don't know how to talk to women.

The strip club is a pretty good place to practice this. The stakes if you flirt badly aren't high unless you do say something really out of line.

>Joe getting himself thrown out
We saw this coming because of how inconsistent the ump has been.

At least the ump gave him plenty of chances, but Joe was going to do this to show he has his team's back.

was he trying to get thrown out lol

wow, that was the slowest, most...methodical "tirade"/ejection i've ever seen

GODDAMN IT CUBS

>"d-don't do it! you don't have to do this"

>Yea Forums's live reaction threads are one of the few reasons that it's not total shit
I didn't know watching anons being needlessly bitter and racist was entertaining

Why do these broadcasts have buzzing and noise all the time ffs

sorry sir he didn't know

>Joe, please sit down...
>Im gonna do it!
>*slowly walks out to the plate*
>well, I guess I have to toss you now
I hate to be this cliche, but that was The Officesque

>I didn't know watching anons being needlessly bitter and racist was entertaining
yet we all keep coming back here...

DYNAMIC microphones placed all around the ballpark
the problem last inning was they had Glanville's mic on air and he was standing in the bleachers picking up a lot of wind

Not all of Yea Forums are /pol/ drones.

quintana is pitching a gem!

STEIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE 3

Run when?

this guy is a soft contact inducing machine today

GO CUB

I still can't believe the pirates traded Meadows and Glasnow for Archer

Trips confirm The Windsor Ballet.

lel, what's this, this isn't hockey, jannies delete

that was such a retarded sequence...all for NOTHING

KEK

Clown umps

That clearly grazed Baez's foot
UMPBALL

Now we've got goddamned RAIN BALL.

>99 pitches
>11 K's
>7 innings
Q is hyped

No one can say the starting pitching didn't do its job tonight.
Cubs better score so Q can get the Win.

YUP
CALL IT A GAME AND CALL IT A DUBYA

the part of baseball season I don't miss

Teams with snow and a lot of rain in the fall should not be allowed to play home games until May unless they have a dome

I mean spring*

This feels like a bullshit way to win, you do what you have to.
If the rain holds Cubs will win their first series of the season.

Strope time, and the first time a Cubs reliever can pitch for a save.

Strope might be the real steal and prie of that trade with Baltimore where the Cubs got Arrieta.

It's our second shut out of the season and our series win

MVP was definitely Q with 7 shut out innings.

GG pirates, it could have gone either way.
