5/10 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Brewers (Garza) 1:10 WGN

[soccer10k]

Cubs are in a bit of a slide recently having lost 6 of 8. But they're still over .500 on the year and will remain as such after this game. Bryant homers again and the Cubs knock Garza around for a 7-3 win.

 

Go Cubs!

[Sammy Sofa]

In 9 of the last 10 games the Cubs have given up at least 5 runs.

 

Specifically 8, 1, 6, 5, 10, 7, 5, 5, 6 and 12.

 

This is not a fun stretch

[Soul]

Going to this one. 3 Brewer fans (including my wife) vs. me.

 

Time to stop playing like pussies and take a series against this godawful team.

[Schwarber Fan]

I have Garza on the ol' fantasy team so it will be good to capitalize on the Cubs strikeouts finally.

What has Coghlan accomplished that keeps him in the lineup?

[Guest]

Until they decide that Bryant is no longer a 3B, Alcantara is ready for another shot at MLB pitching and can play a capable OF, or they add an OF externally, Coghlan is the best LF option against RHP.

CUBS are 2-2 (0.500) vs. Milwaukee on 10 May

Aramis just can't stay healthy, can he?

[Gilby]

DeGrom, Syndergaard, and Harvey are next. Let's not lose another series to the Brewers.

[Sammy Sofa]

I'm a little surprised at how quickly I flipped back to "oh, the Cubs are on? Nah, I think I'll do something else." Granted, there's playoffs and holidays and stuff, too, but still. I don't like it when they make me sad.
