Votto homered to left center field

[cubswin2009]

Cotts FTW!

[Careless]

Yay Cotts!

[illiniguy]

I'm glad we kept Neal Cotts.

 

Also at what point do we put one in Votto's ear?

[cubswin2009]

You would think after 8 home runs off you the Cubs would figure out how to actually pitch to Votto

[UMFan83]

Can someone give me one good thing about this team? Our pitching looks dook, and our offense is anemic

 

They've looked lost at times, and yet, no matter how this game ends, they will finish the day on pace for 92 wins.

 

And 4th place!

 

Haha I gotta get off this board. When I landed and saw the cubs were losing 2-0 I was like "whatever" but then after reading 3 pages of this game thread I'm feeling pessimistic and wanting to throw my phone out the window. But for the most part I still have a level headed approach about this team. The team looked like garbage at times last year and we did alright.

After they throw at Ramirez for the 6th time.

Encarnacion called out on strikes

This team isn't on the same level as last year's team and it's beginning to look pretty obvious. Derrek Lee just sucks, Soto looks out of shape, our bullpen is a mess, we know Harden and Bradley won't stay healthy, our defense is atrocious, etc, etc, etc.

[JonnyRed]

Sure glad to let go a pitcher with a 0.00 ERA for Cotts...I wouldn't want to lose someone like Cotts to another team...

[anabiono]

i love votto...no really i do

 

and i love him even more for rocking the waste of life known as cotts

[Schwarber Fan]

Joey Votto is the biggest Cub killer of all-time.

 

And of course, no sophomore slump for him.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bruce grounded out to second, 4-3

[cubswin2009]

our defense is atrocious
