Go CUBS !!

 

They look like brothers.

[Schwarber Fan]

Cubs can't even make these last 3 games enjoyable... pathetic.

[Sammy Sofa]

You should probably pick a new team.

[Guest]

Someone told them they don't need to lose anymore, right?

[Schwarber Fan]

You should probably pick a new team.

 

What do you want from me? Is it so much to ask to watch some good baseball against the worst team in MLB for one series before we have to go months without our favorite sport?

[Sammy Sofa]

You call the Astros the worst like the Cubs aren't within spitting distance of being the same. Bemoaning any loses this point as being any more "pathetic" is just trying too damn hard to be miserable.

[Schwarber Fan]

With guys like Castro, Rizzo, Soriano, and DeJesus, this team should beat the joke lineup the Astros are trotting out there.

[CincyCubsFan]

What the hell was that?!?! That stretch was almost Ditka-esque.

That's not how baseball works.

 

Weird DeJesus shout-out.

[UMFan83]

The Cubs understand that they can't get the number 1 pick right?

[davell]

Hopefully they'll score 10 tomorrow with homers from Rizzo, Castro, Castillo, and Brett, to at least give us a nice end to a shitty season.

[bcl412]

Welp, tomorrow is my least favorite day in sports.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

With a trio of losses tonight, the brain trust teams of SD, Boston and Chicago are a combined 75 games under .500.

[Sammy Sofa]

HEY GUYS THIS THREAD DOESN'T HAVE TO ABOUT KYLE EVEN THOUGH HE SAYS REALLY REALLY DUMB THINGS SO HE CAN SAY HEY GUYS THIS THREAD DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ABOUT KYLE.

[davell]

Damn, looks like all the regulars will sit tomorrow, other than Castro, who'll play a few innings.
