Daily Random Cub

Who else misses this Wrigleyville icon?

@Will_Baum2016 Extremely close.

@DailyRandomCub Is Phil Maton a “Dude’s gotta go” yet?

On a positive note, Chris Sale goes tomorrow…

I posted this because this was the first #15 I could find before teeing off golf league to celebrate 15 straight at home. But I am all for the Yan Gomes love fest this has sparked. Gas Money forever!

@crow_armstrong Nope! He was getting close but he’s a vet so gets a longer leash on the “gotta go” gif

@DailyRandomCub Hasn’t been one for Jacob Webb?

For the first time this year: Corbin Martin….

@boomer2530 Anyone but Martin good lord

@DailyRandomCub Maybe leave Maton in the game.

Lucky #13 at the friendly confines

The Cubs look to win their 13th straight at Wrigley tonight. This is the lineup that won its 13th straight home contest on 6/21/08 vs. the White Sox: Fukudome, RF E. Patterson, LF Lee, 1B Ramirez, 3B Edmonds CF Fontenot, 2B Soto, C Theriot, SS Marquis, P

Cubs training staff:

@Smallzz3214 I think it was 2016. Can’t be certain though.

@DailyRandomCub When did this happen?

For anyone wondering, this was the starting lineup the last time the Cubs won a game 8-7 in 10 innings: Fowler, CF Schwarber, DH Bryant, 3B Rizzo, 1B Zobrist, LF Russell, SS Contreras, C Heyward, RF Baez, 2B Hendricks, P

If you are still in line to pitch out of the bullpen for the 2026 cubs, stay in line! You will get your opportunity.

@Davidfreezefn @JamarcusJomhli @RedbirdRiot Wow, you’d think you’d know how to spell your own last name then. Huh.

@DailyRandomCub @JamarcusJomhli @RedbirdRiot You realize I’m David Freeze right?

The Cubs go for their first 9-game winning streak since this lineup won its 9th straight on 8/10/16: Fowler, CF Bryant, LF Rizzo, 1B Zobrist, 2B Russell, SS Heyward, RF Contreras, C Baez, 3B Hammel, P

@JamarcusJomhli @Davidfreezefn @RedbirdRiot Okay, bud

@DailyRandomCub @Davidfreezefn @RedbirdRiot David freese is more clutch and important than anyone in your entire history organization

@Davidfreezefn @JamarcusJomhli @RedbirdRiot We may still be enjoying 2016 but you realize David Freese hasn’t been a cardinal since 2013 right?

@JamarcusJomhli @DailyRandomCub @RedbirdRiot Let me guess this cubs fan is still living in 2016?
