>The offense is dead again
Time to panic

why are you so eager to declare this when they don't score every 2 innings?

Have you seen the pitching of this team?

Why are there so many fake cub fans that suddenly show up when the arrive in town?

Go home?

yeah, and they aren't unhittable

>Bryant out
>Schwarber picking up the slack in killing opposing team catchers.
Good work Schwarbs.

Apologize and panic

Wrigley is expensive as fuck. Cheaper to travel and see them elsewhere.

sorry ahhhh

It's called having fans Lastro, be a state worth living in and you might see more of them.

maybe buy some tickets to your team instead of letting people from over a thousand miles away take over

back in the game at least

>God bless America
Why is Texas such a shitty baseball state?
Take me out to the Ballgame is what real teams use.

shouldve scrapped hamels from this series. He doesn't seem to pitch well in texas

Where's that copy paste where the Cubs hit bullets that home into gloves of cripples and the other team hits lazy Croquet shots through every tiny hole?

Can the umps rig the game this strikezone any harder for the Astros?

m-maybe maples has found the strike zone and can be the closer?

>Maples finds the strike zone

just sit baez, he's swinging at everything at it looks half assed

At least Baez did it in a Mexican run state this time.

maddon should use maples more

>DH is 0-9 today
It's time we end this DH farce and let the pitchers hit.

Wtf I love astros pitching now

Come on Schwarbomb!

schwarber is very due right now

I dunno if it's like it used to be, but a lot of people just showed up to get incredibly drunk in the middle of the day.

And now for Swingin Door Susie

Welp, they almost came back and proved Baez shouldn't be a DH.

Also Maple looked pretty good.

let's go stros not today shitcago

close but no cigar, gg astors see ya tomorrow

0-4, thanks 2016 Baez.

>Getting drowned by visiting team fans
Even if you win, that's still a disgrace you cannot wipe away.

I haven't kept up with the Cusb, are they still trying to say Schwarber is the next Babe Ruth with his .222 average?

>cubs fans
sure "fans"

No, everybody grasps reality now.

See

Looks like someone needs to tell Maddon, then.

>this coming from fans that were nonexistant on this board before 2017

Is it? Probably means they left your shithole city to live somewhere better

>Jealous of Chicago
As expected of a third rate state and city.

>This cope

>assblows

Literally what does Chicago have besides a bean and absurdly high crime rates?

>Unoriginal Reddit buzzword retort
Mad at da Cubs

but chicago is also third rate. Good place to get shot/

>Worried about crime
No wonder you tiny dicks cling to your guns, you're a bunch of pussies who are scared of your own shadows.

>fucking ILLINOIS calling Texas "3rd rate"
That's the funniest thing I've read in a while.

illinois owns texas
chicago owns houston

what have the bears done? the only team in the nfc north that's done anything in the last ten years are the packers and they suck now.

>A queer who only fucks steer finds the facts funny
Have you stopped burning history and science books?
Reminder the Confederates were traitors and bad guys.

>a little place in Midgard called Texarse

First time I've heard someone brag about being infested with gangbanging nig nogs.

All these chimpcago lifelongs defending one of the shittiest cities in america. Even philly natives know their city is shit.

>Houston

I can't wait for the Tennessee Texans.

>poostan

>cusb

Is Illinois anything besides "The state that happens to have Chicago in it"?

You still didn't tell me what the bears have done. i'm still waiting

How do you rebut "LOL I LOVE BEING RIDDEN WITH CRIME"?

Just some post game banter friend.

1985 Bears, still a greater legacy than anything the Oilers or Cowboys have.

Kinda like how everyone will remember the 2016 Cubs and the only reason people might remember the 2017 Astros is the Sports Illustrated Cover if even that.

I don't even like the cowboys and i know they have a better legacy than the fucking bears. 5 beats 1 any time of the day, like comparing the fucking colts to the patriots

yeah, people will remember the 2016 cubs because it was the first time y'all weren't shit in over 100 years.

Quality > Quantity

Also the Super Bowl Shuffle
ebaumsworld.com/videos/super-bowl-shuffle/10098/
Will you get it?

the bears are the most popular football team historically with most hof, 2nd most championships

actually i would prefer quantity, btw the ravens did it better

>2nd most championships
yeah pre super bowl

>Prefer Quantity
This is why no one remembers the 1990's Cowboys. But everyone knows the 1985 Bears.

and? are you only counting world series' since the 60s? doesn't really change the fact they're still one of the most historically successful franchises, even though they've been shit the last 7 years (with exception of last year)

You’re just upset your city was too much of a flyover shithole with no history to have a team then, Vikecuck

>No one remembers the 90's cowboys
Imagine this big of a reach

actually everyone remembers the 90's cowboys, jerry jones has such a high ego because of those bowls that he refuses to die and make the team relevant again

>Texans saying the Cowboys are relevant.
LOL, go lose another war.

I'm not even a vikings fan, actually i doubt anyone here is

>akchshully

Imagine reaching so hard for insults you have to go all the way back to the civil war.

great rebuttal, go on and tell me how one of the greatest era which i refuse to care about doesn't outdo a one off from the "burrs"

>Being this mad that Illinois is undefeated in wars.

There is only one era, the Burrs.

>greatest era
lmao suck em off more fag
>pouston

One bowl. burrrrrs

L M A O

Btw remind me who the most valuable sports franchise in the WORLD is?

>modern day reds pirates
two franchises that are still better than the assblows.

mind you that's from a storied team with such great history versus a team formed in 1999

>worth 50 million more than your franchise
>pouston

>Has been around for 70 more years and that's the best they can muster
>Shitcago

>pouston actually believes they'll surpass any of those teams
>pouston

>2 world series
>1 bowl
personally i like our odds

Considering the amount of people moving to Houston and the fact that no one in their right mind would want to purposely live in Shitcago, yeah probably.

Don't see the texans winning anything soon, though I could see the assblows winning again but they have some good competition in the AL that's probably not found in the NL yet

illegals don't watch american sports

To be fair, neither do people who just got shot.

>brady retiring
>AL East is shit
>AL North is shit outside the stoolers and browns
>AL South is all texans and colts
>queefs, gayders, or chorgers
it's possible

And yet they still have more fans

Then those aren't fans, they need to get shot.

For now

Already said the pablos wont help you

actually they will, the nig nogs in chicago only make things worse.

>Moving to Houston
They moving there to shift the state blue so they the state actually votes in the economic interests of the masses instead of the rich.

It's why Illinois is great because Chicago runs the state and keeps down downstate savages at bay.
And it's the reason all the big sport teams are in Chicago. College fags need not apply.

I don't think you understand how many rural areas there are in Texas keeping it red. Texas going blue is extremely unlikely because of big oil. That being said, this has nothing to do with sports you fucking faggot.
