Your passive aggressiveness knows no limits. Obviously a couple good games does not make up for the piss poor season he's had offensively, but when you constantly harp on the guy, the least you can do is give him a little credit when he succeeds. Otherwise it just looks petty on your part.
He's been disappointing to say the least, but I root for all the Cubs' players to do well. I'm honestly not sure you can say the same. It truly seems like you just have it out for the guy.
I mean he went 2/5 with a 2B, 1/1 and 2/4, definitely a big step in the right direction but if the guy hasn't been a bottom five offensive player all year, that series wouldn't stand out at all. I want him to do better too, trust me I don't enjoy watching him hit weak ground outs at all and hopefully this is the start of better things to come.
This is the biggest load of ********* I've ever heard. You love this.
Not at all. Would much rather have another solid bat in the lineup, rather than watching someone struggle to get the ball out of the infield, but hopefully he's figured some things out and can have a good final month.

The stronger answer here would be "he did a great job this weekend" and just to leave it there. Doesn't open the door too much and keeps things moving along.
Nah but hey feel free to use that line if you want to give your own opinion on Heyward.
You are simply incapable of delivering anything better than a backhanded compliment regarding Heyward's performance.
Has his performance this year deserved anything more than that? That's an honest question. Heyward's done a good job of driving everyone's expectations for him so low that I guess people expect him to be praised for putting up an .842 OPS for one week. And I would love if he hits that well for the rest of the year but sorry, I'm not going to go crazy over those numbers just yet. As I've said many times already he looks better at the plate the last few games and hopefully that continues.
I'm conflicted here. We are in a series with the Pirates. Pittsburgh is only .5 games back of the cards. As a Cubs fan we are so far up on everyone I honestly hope we get swept by the Pirates so they can get ahead of the cardinals and hopefully keep them out of the playoffs. Piss on the cards.
That's dumb, I hope the Cubs win. I want to see 100 wins this year.
Out of all the teams in contention for the Wild Card, I'd take the Cardinals first round.

I need a stream for this game. Stream2watch is not getting through the antivirus stuff tonight.
