The Cubs are 49-42 this season, and are on a one-game losing streak, so some would say they’re not on fire, but the Cubs Twitter handle still likes to use the fire emoji a lot.
In a recent study by Fan Graphs, the Cubs Twitter handle uses the fire emoji in almost 90 tweets this season, which is three times as much as the Cleveland Indians, who use the fire emoji the second-most in the MLB.
Here are some examples of the Cubs Twitter handle using the fire emoji:
Travis Wood gets a pair of HUGE outs to keep it a one-run ballgame through seven. #LetsGo 🔥🔥

The Cubs Twitter handle doesn’t plan to slow down their use of the fire emoji anytime soon.
We are telling ourselves this is a good thing. #FireEmoji https://t.co/qA78NqzAz6
