@darrenrovell Omg I loved those! Gimme my personal pan pizza and mini ball please!

It has been 35 years and I can still smell the rubber from my 1991 March Madness Pizza Hut mini basketball inside my nose.

@obvious_shirts If they put more basketballs thru the hoop the rest of the game they will score a lot more points

Illinois needs to win this game to keep their season going. You can do it. I-L-L

@BleacherNation Biblical stonks

Another Updated Valuation Has the Chicago Cubs Continuing to Surge bleachernation.com/cubs/2026/03/1…

@OutOfTheVines If you sprinkle in the first two weeks of 2014 Emilio Bonifacio it’s the greatest season of all time

1st half of 2012 Bryan LaHair 2nd half of 2021 Frank Schwindel debate

@Cubs Like a Bob Ross Painting. Just need a happy little World Series over here.

The art of baseball.

@Slinkyka Me in a week:

One week until my mental health becomes the Chicago Cubs responsibility

@amartinez_11 Emilio Bonifacio in 2014 the first week of the season is like both of these guys put together. He was Babe Bonds for about 15 games

I raise you 2021 Rafael Ortega

@CubWin The last week of that season 🤮 How did this team not go to 4th straight NLCS+

8 days left until opening day. Cubs starting lineup on opening day 8 years ago in 2018.

@MurrayHillGuy1 Thought it was just me but seeing it all over. I think the amount of transfers & the NIL has just killed it and every game has the same feel. Definitely NBA vibe to where you could just watch the last five minutes of the game & be content. I used to watch Fri-Sun wall to wall

I used to LOVE March Madness… Took “sick days” every year on Thursday + Friday, posted at a bar with 4 screens all day. This year I don’t even care enough to fill out a bracket (but picking Michigan) Wtf happened… did I get older or did it just stop hitting the same?

@thekapman Manfred/owners & the union literally have the ball on the tee. All they need to do is take a swing. Somehow, the bat will probably get thrown, the ball will be kicked the opposite direction, and the tee will be thrown & broken. Don’t screw this up!

USA falls in WBC thriller, can MLB use momentum into season? youtube.com/live/Ys1eV1793…

@BaseballDudes48 Wait a min!?! That HR that Jaxsin/Jackson/Giaxsan hit that his mom put in GC wasn’t really a HR???? It was a reach due to fielding error then a 3 base throwing error? 😱😱😱

Imagine having an outsider, un-biased, third party running the GameChanger and scoring every hit, error, passed ball, wild pitch, fielders choice, stolen base, and indifference by the rules. This person might end up being hated more than the umpires!! 😂😂

@theaceofspaeder Then after the WS the union and owners pull one of these after all the momentum that would give everyone boatloads of $$$$$$

Man, baseball is so much fun. Could you imagine if, like, we just got to have that like all Spring and all Summer long? Maybe even into the Fall, when it starts getting too chilly for ball?

@SetupManBrian He threw a stupid 2 strike/base open pitch like the Cubs will do some random game in July for his 3rd of the game and I’ll be yelling like I was tonight 🤣

Someone told Suarez Whitlock was a cub

@Cubs @TheBlogfines

DANIEL PALENCIA IS A WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC CHAMPION.

@obvious_shirts I’m glad he didn’t face any teammates and this will no doubt help him during the season. I’m going to have nightmares about pitchers not throwing sliders to Suarez for months and Pat Hughes will whisper Ayyy Youuu Hayy Kneee Oooohhh on a loop

Congratulations to Venezuela. They deserved it. The WBC remains incredible. Palencia is on our team now.

@Jared_Carrabis Guy would have swung at the rosin bag if it was thrown and you go change up on the plate instead of slider 🤡🎪

Not good.

@TheBlogfines Just don’t get hurt

Palencia vs USA. I'll take however it goes.

@SamOlbur 2 strikes and base open and you throw that to Suarez….How? He’s like Javy on sliders.

Miller not being able to pitch probably cost them the game

@JeffPassan Suarez couldn’t hit a slider w a canoe paddle and base open and you throw middle to him 🤡

And Venezuela takes the lead right back. A leadoff walk from Garrett Whitlock, a Javier Sanoja stolen base and an Eugenio Suárez double into the left-center gap puts Venezuela ahead, 3-2, in the top of the ninth. No outs, either, so Venezuela can tack on more.

@TheBlogfines Not throwing a slider w 2 strikes and base open to Suarez should result in a ban from MLB for 1 year

If he was available, he should have been in. But DeRosa definitely feels like a "save situation" guy, judging by just about everything else he does.
