8/4 Dodgers (Fife) @ Cubs (Villanueva) 1:20 CT, WGN

[Careless]

Have a hard time throwing that uncatchably there.

 

Does Watkins look like mini-Rizzo?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That team really is filled with [expletive], isn't it

 

We're back to being horribly unlucky.

 

Nah. Sometimes the team is just bad for a while.

 

It can be both. We're bad, but we're not as bad as our horrible sequencing is making it seem.

[Smack]

Someone needs to gif that guy dancing in the bleachers.

It's just a mostly lousy offensive stretch mixed with some stank bullpen performances/deicisons. I wouldn't place too much into it either way.

What's our team OPS for this series, I wonder, and how does it compare with our runs scored?

[Sammy Sofa]

Something vs. not enough.

I think it was worth keeping Navarro just to see him break Hanley's bat before handing it to the bat boy.

 

Wait, what happened?

 

(At a friend's baby's birthday party, not watching.)

Pitch was inside near Hanley's hands (not even close to intentional), Hanley responds by flailing his hands in a "what the hell are you doing?" motion. Dodgers bench starts yapping at Villanueva and Navarro. Hanley walks later in the at-bat and places his bat down directly between Navarro's legs. Navarro smashes it on the ground and busts the handle or something before handing it to the bat boy.

 

I saw all that and totally missed Navarro breaking Hanley's bat. Awesome.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

finally have a good guest and they forget to turn his mic on, lol.

[Careless]

what the [expletive] [expletive]?

Right field does suck, apparently.

[Smack]

Wtf Hanley

[Careless]

Didn't rotate far enough for a shoulder hyperextension, but it looked like it's the shoulder

[Sammy Sofa]

Ouch. Hanley's been killing it for them.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Wtf Hanley

I'm not sure what he was doing. It looked like he had no clue where we was at. He could have easily stopped before running into the wall.

[Careless]

:roll:

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Shades of Fernando Vina.

[Guest]

Strop should've gotten that call if only for the little league nonsense Punto used to try to buy the call.

[Careless]

side of the knee, ouch

[Careless]

Cubs just went from what, 19th to 26th place this week?

[SpongeWorthy]

I hate the [expletive] Doyers

[Castros trade value]

Nothing spells success like a 1-7 homestand. :hello:

[InconspicuousZ28]

And to think back on the optimism following the 6-4 road trip to the west coast. Big time reality check, the Cubs never miss out on a chance to kick us in the junk.

[UMFan83]

2 runs on 29 hits the last 3 games.

[Little Slide Rooter]

4 game sweeps happen. 2 runs on 29 hits over the last 3; now that's a special kind of fail. I don't know if clutch hitting is really a thing, but if so, this would have to be the opposite.

[Sammy Sofa]

2 runs on 29 hits the last 3 games.

 

22 inning scoreless streak and counting.

Me too.
