Imagine not being above .500
Good solid series win.
I usually put the “killing myself postponed” banner after a W, but I was watching the game while on a very turbulent flight flying into our beautiful city. The whole time looking at the score just kept me calm and concentrated, even though I was on the verge of a panic attack (nervous flyer).
We landed safely just now and I’m so relieved and the W just makes it so much better to be alive in this current moment lol, very dramatic I know. And I know we gave up silly runs in the 9th but we won, cubs 4 life.

ABOVE .500?!? In this economy?

great win.. the problem is that the Braves won’t stop winning. it’s pretty disheartening really
.504
Seiya Suzuki is really good.
Over .500, it’s been a long time coming.
Why won’t the braves lose a little bit… please?
Feels so good to be over .500, hell yeah cubbies. They’ve been real fun to watch lately
Daniel Palencia sucks

We’re so back
Anyone have a link to Amaya’s prospect scouting report. Curious if he came up as a bat first catching prospect. Because…WOW!
cmon, Twins!
You mean were really over .500??
My rough math says that if the braves go 16-15 the rest of the way, we’d have to go 21-8 to catch them.
The Twins might just beat the Braves tonight:
Bottom of the 8th, 2 outs, tying run at 2nd base.
Update: base-hit! tie game!
