Cubs are up 2-1 in this year's Cross Town Series, If they win tonight. They reclaim the Cross Town Cup. If the White Sox win. They have to rely on bullshit Soccer technicalities to claim they keep the cup like they've done for the last two years.

Isn't the series at 2-1? Isn't the worst the Cubs can do tie it?
>>77336123
Tie = cup stays with last years cup holder
>neither team cares about the cup
>>77336123
tie means the cup stays with the previous owner, which is the white sox
>>77336103
>Its the last game of any importance to be played on the southside in 2017
Gotta love OP's enthusiasm for a trophy that no player and no fan except for a handful of morons cares about.

youre retarded af
>>77336170
Its like all the Oak Bucket, Silver Boot, Golden Tampon trophies that are still around in college football. Media had to stop interviewing players about them because the consensus is "If it gets me an NFL contract I'll care. Until then I won't even google it."
This cup is about the same. I forget the Sox have the thing until this time each year and only remember because the gomers on 670 and 1000 try to ram it down ur throat
>succs win
>they win a cup with a 2-2 draw
I don't think this semen slurping sport is for me la.
It's 4pm and Hawk Harrelson is still butthurt over Lackey hitting 4 batters.
>>77336251

>>77336324
Confirmed for centagenarian
>>77336430
hes fun when he does his wavy arm thing behind the plate
>>77336454
But this thing is just lazy. He's not even in a full suit. It's just a guy with a head, arms and shoes.
At least he Cubs mascot can be made fun of because it looks like something a Child molester would make to get close to children, this is just sad.

What are you going to do with a piece of shit hunk of metal that holds no actual intrinsic value? It doesn't have any magical powers, unless it makes the holder of the cup to be complete and utter shit.

Dont give a fuck what anybody says. I am not arguing with all those dubs

The Cubs broke the Curse of the Billy Goat. The Cubs will break the Cruse of the Crosstown Cup.

they win the series without it
win today & let the whos keep it
I saw Kelly Crull at Starbucks today. Wanted to say hi but beta'd out. She had flip flops on and has amazing feet.

>most fans have short term memory
oh I wish. Belly's stint with the Sox is still in my mouth and it's terrible.
I'm listening to the cubs announcers this game because I literally cannot tolerate Hawk's whining anymore
>rizzo steals a base
wat
>>77336847
Turn on radio broadcast whilst TVing senpai
don't worry schwarber will hit it right into an infielders glove
>>77336847
I thought Hawk didn't even do home games anymore, am I mistaken?
>>77336853
sox can't throw anyone out anyway.
What's the purpose of trying to steal on a 2-2 count with 2 outs?
Anyone have a live white sox broadcast. Want to listen to Hawk.
>>77336793
>only other option is 670 which is just as bad
What do?
just turned on the whitesox broadcast to hear hawk bitch and moan
>>77336864
That never syncs up right.
>>77336867
Probably an exception because muh crosstown.
Next year he's only doing Sunday home games and then he gone.
>>77336881
It's on WGN.
>>77336874
he's got the speed of a young mark grace
>>77336867
He always does the crosstown because he has bad blood with the Cubs that he's never fully admitted publicly.
>>77336881
http://www.sportshd.me/mlb/491620/h
>>77336887
670 is significantly better
>>77336881
>Want to listen to Hawk.
Why would you voluntarily subject yourself to that.
>>77336893
Got mlb premium?
come on pelf...
>>77336893
670 does for me. Sometimes theres a 5sec lag on tv but most times its bretty close
>>77336900
>Next year he's only doing Sunday home games and then he gone.
Good riddance
damn Schwarber still sucks
>>77336908
Thanks.
>>77336913
Hawk is hilarious. I also like how passionate he is. Reminds me of Santo broadcast on Radio.
24 pitches
>>77336921
wow youre a richfag...
>>77336921
Can you play the radio audio over the video on MLB.tv? I have it and didn't think it was possible.
phew
jesus big mike
>Schwarbs
>>77336941
I got mlb premium for 10 bucks almost 2 months ago. Just need to go for the may-june time sales.
>>77336934
>Hawk is hilarious. I also like how passionate he is. Reminds me of Santo broadcast on Radio.
It's a lot of misplaced passion and catchphrases. Very little insight.
>>77336823
Even if you despise me, you lighten up the threads. The good news is there's still going to be a lot of afternoon games since the city refused to allow more night games.
>>77336933
He got him to a full count and didn't go down swinging. It's an improvement.
>>77336942
You can also watch the game without commentators period.
>>77336941
It was handed out like candy if you have T-Mobile at the start of the season.
>cusb catchers in charge of catching popups
>>77336379
Those eyes are nightmare fuel. I hated mascots / adults in cartoon characters as a kid in general I would have left the ballpark and waited in the car if I saw that. At least it has pants, though.
hit a hr because of wilson bullshit
It was a blunder, but expected considering the situation where both Willy and Bryant were thinking they each had a beat on the ball which made them more conservative in going after the ball since they didn't want to risk smashing into each other.
Ended up being an out, so more than inflating the pitch count by 2, no harm.
>1-2-3
fun shit

damn it abroo that was a breaking ball right there.
Daily reminder that Jason Benetti is reddit. Hawk is /ourguy/
>>77337014
lester and kb looked pissed
the cusb postbreak string of not allowing a 1st inning run continues
>do they still lead the league?
>>77336962
I find it entertaining and his stories are pretty good too. Cubs broadcast is honestly boring. Liked it when it was Bob and Len.
>>77337024
>Yohan Moncada
hell no
>>77337024
They're both god awful, I just wish Steve Stone would do all of the talking himself.
Reynaldo Lopez when?
>>77337024
>Hawk is /ourguy/
You have to be mentally retarded to find Hawk funny or entertaining.
not gonna lie the wisconsin brewers look like a huge threats to win the division with the additions of kyle schwards
>>77337030
Lester's going to be upset since it should have been an out and Byrant's going to be upset with himself. It's not going to cause any drama though.
>Cubs starters have not giving up a first inning run since the start after the All Star Break.
We're on the up and up.
>>77337060
>>77337060
>wisconsin brewers
I'll be at Cubs Brewers Saturday and Sunday. I haven't been to Miller in a few years. What food should I eat there? Bratwurst with the special stadium sauce?
>>77337088
i havent been in a decade - but they used to have a meatloaf & gravy sandwich that was pretty great
>>77337088
Any bite of food or drink you can get your hands on in the state of Wisconsin is bound to be fantastic.
Beautiful state and great eats.
t. south sider who wants to move there
holy shit, the sox turned a double play
>>77337088
hopefully Q pitches all 3 games...stay away for the white guy wearing a hat....special sauce my ass
>>77337108
and on a ball tl timmay too
Is that really the name of this ballpark? Guaranteed Rate Field?
Ballparks used to have names like The Polo Grounds, Fenway Park or Yankee Stadium. These corporate naming rights stadiums and their owners have no class, naming their parks after businesses for a fee. Wrigley Field may have the name of a chewing gum but at least it was owned by the Wrigley family.
Guaranteed Rate Field.
>>77337110
>special sauce my ass
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Stadium_Sauce
>>77337120
Honestly I didn't hate US cellular field but guaranteed rate just sounds fucking stupid
>>77337120
Guaranteed Rate Field is probably the worst stadium name in the US.
Sometimes corporate names like Miller park or Busch Stadium work, but Guaranteed Rate doesn't.
>>77337120
I think that it depends entirely on the sponsor and how far they're going to insert the name.
Stuff like GABP, Comerica, Miller Park, Progressive Field is alright with me.

bad swing at the bad pitch Moncada
damn
>>77337183
They have a better bullpen than us, why are you surprised?
>>77337170
>>77337150
At least there's a connection to Miller Beer. It's fucking Milwaukee. Also beerparks sound cool. Busch Stadium. Coors Field.
>>77337150
>Sometimes corporate names like Miller park or Busch Stadium
Or Wrigley, a lot of people have forgotten that was originally corporate
>>77336272
Use the right one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7r1rBrKd5I
>jacob may being productive
lies
>>77337202
Helps that Coors is based in Colorado and Busch is based in St Louis.
>>77337150
It is what it is.
based willy
>>77337214
Right. But what connection is there between Chicago and Guaranteed Rate? Is it a Chicago company?
Guaranteed Rape Field would be more appropriate for the South Side.
phew
thank you willy
Any soxbros ever miss Addison Reed?
>>77337242
Kid Rock gave the Sox Davidson, so it now makes the sting hurt a lot less. But yes, I do.
>>77337234
The connection is the soulless depression of the South Side with the soulless depression of a stadium named "Guaranteed Rate".
WIIIIILLLLYYYY
CANCEL THE POSTGAME SHOW
At least Guaranteed Rate Field doesn't have this monstrosity.
What the fuck was anybody thinking?
WILLY DOING IT ALL
>big willy making me erect
>>77337242

>>77337271
what's wrong with fun? imagine if cano hit the asg-winning dinger off that thing
>>77337234
it's a chicago company
they always have ads on the backstop at wrigley also

It looks fucking atrocious. It isn't fun, it's garish and ugly.
>Busterson
>>77337317
I personally like Andershit
>>77337332
I personally like Nigger
Meh, not worth panicking over the Who getting a 1 run lead. They can only hit home runs. Cubs have been able to get runners on base already, they just need to string together some hits and they can run away with this.
way to give it back so soon asshole
that didnt last long
A home run is fine too.

>Cubs fedora

>>77338213
yeah but all them fuk u do me shirts were dope, right?
>>77338222
That game is gonna be 10 years ago soon enough.

No lie. My 68yr old mom gave no fucks about baseball. I came home with his jersey after an impulse buy and she screamed at me for perverted name on back.
Tell her it was new Jap player and she said that was even worse.

How many home games was Hawkins booed off the field?
Guy. Remember that one time the Cubs were in a tight spot for a series with a trophy on the line. And they were down at the start of it. And the opposing team needed to just win one more game to win the series. And the Cubs needed to win 3 straight games to be able to pull it out?
Funny how history repeats.
I never realized how fucking thick John Lackeys accent was until a couple days ago.
>>77338295
>Greenberg was one of two players in league history to be hit by a pitch in their only plate appearance without ever taking the field.[1][2] However, a successful online petition drive in 2012 led to him getting signed by the Miami Marlins to a one-day contract. He had one at bat for the Marlins and struck out on three pitches.

I remember he got hit in the cup on a throw to 2nd as he was sliding in on a steal
then the camera cut to Lou in the dugout and he was laughing his ass off
such were the back-to-back division champion Cubs of 2007/08
fucking wew

With the way he hit dingers, I bet he would. Dude would murder someone
Quick name some forgotten cubs players from 2000-2010.
You now remember rich hill was on the cubs.

Blow, Sox Blow!
Blow, Sox Blow!

Blow, Sox Blow!
Blow, Sox Blow!
Hey Chicago, what do you say?

Baseball time is here again
You can suffer through it all on UPN
So put on brown bag and throw your up hands
Chicago White Sox have no fans

Blow, Sox Blow!

its always a bad game when big mike is """pitching""""
enjoy your cup. at least we won one
Cup is heading North

>>77338724
I used the sweep one FUCK ME
[W]
Give >us the Mickey Mouse Cup.
>>77338738
it was a sweep - of a 2 game series
2x2 game series, home and away
>>77338710
>>77338730
I misread. disregard.
>>77338738
YOU'RE MAKING US LOOK BAD
we did it lads, we won the local derby
>>77338746
Technically you're right, I feel glad to be vindicatied, heheheh

whats this trophy for? for the cross town classic?
Tell me someone got a gif of willy jumping up and down like a kid while holding the cup.
sigh..
big mike
shields
injured Rodon
just
sigh...
Fly the W!
>>77338738
Shut up hate meme poster, it was a reverse sweep
>>77338790
Bullpen is just as shit as advertised too but the offense just couldnt deliver either.
This is so painful. and there's still couple months to go. Fuck.
>>77338763
The fuck is wrong with you? Never doubt urself.
>>77338808
PCubes fan, how are you? I missed you tonight. We won, btw
Why don't any of my sports teams ever give me any happiness...
I want to die.
They say it's always darkest before the dawn.
This is pretty damn dark.
First the bears
then the bulls
then the sox
this year has just been
fuck
I don't know how much longer I can do this
its just so hard when all your teams decide that you are not allowed to have any happiness
>weebs on suicide watch
this cup was all you guys had huh?
>>77339119
well not so much the cup
but this rotation being a dumpster fire
the offense not able to do anything
the bullpen adding gasoline to the dumpster fire
it just keeps happening and its wearing...
you dont understand...
>>77339136
it called rebuilding
get used to it
>>77339119
>>77339136
I mean like to put it into perspective
heres the formula
starting pitching gets lit up
sad offense tries to chip into the gap
bullpen pushes the game away further
offense can't do anything anymore
game ends predictably
Its the same exact thing that happened for the last 3 games and then some before it. It would have probably also happened in game 1 too if it werent for the wind.
Just too sad watching this same thing over and over and over again
>>77339155
even if I don't want or can't I'll have no choice but to
at least the sox rebuild should steel me for the bulls and bears """""rebuild"""""
Its just so hard and theres no one to go through this time of pain with either except pathetically posting on an anime board hoping that it'll be somewhat therapeutical
>>77339184
damn dude. you need something else in your life to focus on. get a dog and start walking it or some shit
>>77339208
I dont do pets
just sports and some vidya as a sad attempt to distract from how bad said sports are
welp I'm done
Come on you sox fans, don't you know how a rebuild works? Why is everyone sad?
How can anyone be upset at this sight? He even hit a home run for a kid with down syndrome on Tuesday.
>>77339723
Depressed Sox fans for one.
>>77339732
Well they should cheer for the Cubs instead if they want to be happy.
>>77339741
Do you cheer for the packers instead of the Bears? That's just not how things work.
>>77339759
>Conflating divisional rivals in another sport to two teams in the same city.
Nice try with your fallacy.
>>77336379
I personally love southpaw the southside nug
>>77338415
I'm pretty sure I could get a homerun against the retards in the sox bullpen, thats not really anything worth bragging about right now.
>>77339741
ehh I'm not in the mood to switch over and then have to go back to the sox again when the cusb fall apart in a year or so
