Brault sucks

This inning is fucking nuts

Nico is based, first pitch wrigley debut go ahead 2 run homerun. I haven't seen the cubs dugout smile so much this season

Our pitching pretty much sucks, and nothing will be done about it.

Well Lester is horrible too so this will be an interesting game until the 3rd inning until they are both pulled.

kys lester is elite

when* they're both pulled

are you being sarcastic?

Just got out of class. the cubs offense actually did something
