Go Bears!

Don't worry. We'll win this one.

 

Haven't been swept in a three or four game series yet this year.

Harang kills the Cubs.

I guessed the Cubs would score 6 total runs this series, so that means they're due for a nice 4 run outing today.

Pretty sure the 2B dropped the ball after the tag.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I've always said the best way to fix a struggling offense is to continually run into outs.

[Schwarber Fan]

Edwin Jackson sucks and will always suck.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Ballgame.

[Andy]

I really don't want to hear a word about FIP and xFIP. He walks people and he gives up hard contact all the time. He sucks.

[Andy]

Well executed rundown, though.

[Guest]

omg schierholtz did something

[Andy]

Whoa, Schierholtz knocked the hell out of that.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

hooray

shhh don't tell Brett this. I enjoy the advanced stats as much as the next guy, but Jackson's an exception to the FIP/xFIP stuff.

So that seems like a really obvious spot of pine tar or something similar on harang's right leg/hip.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I think we have somehow managed to have fewer "core" pieces at the MLB level than we did when the front office took over.

On the bright side, I am so damn happy Sandberg isn't out manager. He just sent Cole Hamels out for the 7th already at 116 pitches and on only his 5th start after a long term shoulder related DL stint. He finishes with 133 pitches.

[Andy]

Get rid of Lake please.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

LOLake

 

Swinging strike, swinging strike, swinging strike

[Guancous]

Serious question: Have the Cubs had a worse outfield in the last 50 years? Even 2001 had Sosa on it.

Letting him take some heat from the meatballs and ruining his career managerial record early would have been kinda fun.

How do we respond after our first 3 game winning streak in 10 calendar months, and our first winning series of the year? We go on to lose 7 of our next 8 (probably)
