odessasteps Posted September 2, 2024 Posted September 2, 2024 Boy, were there a lot of cubs fans (but not Cubs Fan) in DC friday night. The same metro line goes to the Nats ballpark as where the wrestling was at on Friday.
Craig H Posted September 2, 2024 Posted September 2, 2024 This Cubs season is the inverse of last year. Looked good early, in position for a WC, and then collapse. This year, complete dogshit and now 5 above .500 on 9/2 and not a chance in hell of catching the Braves, let alone the Mets, in the WC standings. And hilariously enough, the only NL Central teams they play are the even shittier Pirates and Reds and not a single WC team. Of course they could play a minor spoiler to the Yankees, Dodgers, and Phillies.

I'm kind of amused at how this turned out yet annoyed since this should have been an easy win. I guess the O's emptied the tank the past two games.
