8/3 Dodgers (Capuano) @ Cubs (Sharknado) 3:05 CT FOX

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Yeah, game going on apparently.

[Careless]

My daughter woke me up early today singing Go, Cubs, Go. They'd better win today.

[Guest]

That thing that just happened was stupid

[Careless]

what the hell is going on with this Fox booth? Even by their usual standards, what the hell?

[Guest]

This team's inability to properly deal with bunts is amazing.

more amazing is that it just started last week

[Guest]

All three runs with with two outs on balls that were hit like old people [expletive].

[Careless]

wtf, dale? Is he trying to get fired?

[Careless]

Shark at 112 pitches, 7 hits and 5 walks through 6. better give him another inning or two, Dale.

[Guest]

Why the hell was Shark batting that inning? Either Dale's going to leave him in after 112 pitches, which is stupid, or he decided to let him bat even though he's going to bring in a reliever. Either way, it's stupid (though one is much worse than the other).

 

EDIT: At least he chose the less bad of the two options. Still no excuse not to use a PH there with no outs in the inning.

Looks like Cy Capuano today

[Guest]

Yet another double play.

[Hawk4Hall]

Well it looks like the offense decided to relax today.

6-4 West Coast road trip. Come home and start a 10 game home stand 1-6 if we don't come back today.

Sounds exactly like something a team with a mediocre roster would do.

We have a mediocre roster with a maddening history of getting somewhat worse than mediocre results.

Swung at ball 4.

Why wouldn't you let the pitcher (after 112 pitches and behind 3-0) take that at bat? After all the next hitter is only your best hitter right now.

[Schwarber Fan]

Story of the season has really been a lot of streaky play. Then a winning streak ends with a tough loss and they spiral for awhile, failing to score runs and blowing saves. Very tough to deal with.

It's really not all that tough to deal with.

[neely crenshaw]

It's only tough to deal with if you are one of the fans that actually think we're good, just having bad luck. This is who we are...we aren't terrible, there are some good things but we aren't there yet.

Yet another thing you've made up. Somehow you've inexplicably mistaken people clearly saying, "this team should be better than their current record" as "this team is actually good." You do see the differences, right?
