Cuas laid a giant fucking egg, but Yan Gomes said that Denver omelette ain’t gonna work for me brother, much love, YG.
Just another very normal, standard win. Let’s never talk about this game again
Cardiac Cubs
*exhale*
I LOVE YAN GOMES
Finally on the right end of one of those again.
“Listen, if you don’t throw some strikes, ChiCubs is going to be fucking pissed.”
-Hottovy, probably
Don’t let the Fulmer drama distract you from the fact that Yan Gomes is a national hero
Fulmer made some absolutely NASTY pitches to end that game. Good W but bad for my heart.
cubbies held onto their shit just slightly better than the ump
Good lord my blood pressure isn’t going to survive this season
Absolutely needed that after that Bears game yesterday hahaha
Nothing is easy at coors field
The home plate ump and myself share a lot in common now after that lasting.
My pants are fulmer of diarrhea now
You know, I’m really starting to think watching Chicago sports is not good for my health.
You gotta take any type of win, but I’m worried that the May bullpen came back like herpes.
Me when Yan Gomes comes to the plate in the clutch:
No Fear
Me when I remember we don’t have Alzolay today:
One Fear
My pants just about look like the home plate umps after that finish
Well now I know how that home plate umpire felt
David Ross notches another win for his uNsErIoUs team, putting him at 78.0 WAR on the season
Bad baserunning almost cost the Cubs the game. Good baserunning helped win it. It’s never easy though, is it?
I have no proof, but I feel like Gomes must lead the team in game tying or game leading RBI.

Yan Gomes when the Rockies tried to steal this game from us.

1-0 in the PCA era
Playoff magic number dropped to 15 with the W and the Marlins loss.
A win is a win but that was far closer than it should’ve been.
Also can we just get Pat, Rick and my personal favorite Taylor McGregor for every game from here on out?
Another questionable decision by Ross to put in Fulmer in a critical 9th inning situation after he literally just got off the IL
But very proud of Fulmer for shaking off the nerves and slamming the door shut with confidence
Wicks deserved that win but this is fine
