No, "The Hawk", I'm talking about the Cardinals. So settle down and put your uniform away, (the baseball one not the fake army one you bought off E-Bay) and sit back, relax and strap it down for some baseball viewing pleasure!

How have the Brewers played 5 more games and the Cards 3 more than the Cubs? It didn't feel like they were rained out that much. Kinda dumb they just had 2 days off in the same week.

Hopefully we won't have to listen to Zaidman complaining in Sep that they have to play x number of games in as many days.

Bryant looked overmatched, slow bat first ab. Seems to be really crouching down more.

Boom.

RIZZO!

Best first baseman in Chicago burritos!

Appears the fascists approached today's game with a poor plan. Hendricks has thrown only 48 pitches through 5 innings.

It appears together today.

55 pitches, 2 hits through 6...and the second hit got picked off.

The fascists may look to bean Rizzo next time up. He can't be stopped.

The Facist's pitcher certainly has executed his game plan today

KKK KKK KKK

Nine punch outs!

Just tagging on here. 62 pitches through 7 innings. That is Maddox levels of efficiency or better. Hendricks isn't near that level but still a fun comparison. I fail to understand what is prompting the fascists to swing so early in the count. The weird bunt em over inning was comical in how it was presented via radio. Or maybe there was too much Zaidman in the background. That happened far too often.

As soon as he gives up a hit Joe will probably still pull him.

A Maddux comp? Pull your pants back up! He's had a nice day though...

What just happened? I'm looking at "At Bat" on my computer. Double steal? Javy picked off and during rundown Rizzo tries to score and gets tossed out at home?

Great seeing dominant Kyle return for once.

A masterpiece by Hendricks. 81 pitch complete game shut out.

He didn’t, I’m amazed.

He let it ride as it was Fowler. 2016

Cubs are now tied with the Ray for best run differential in all of baseball

Clearly he isn't Maddux. But when he has it rolling like today he has moments where he is like Maddux. Today was a Maddux game. And thank goodness it was against the ass bag Cardinals and their idiot fans

That's pretty crazy, considering the ass kickings they got in the first couple weeks.
