6/28: Cubs (Hammel) @ Cardinals (Martinez) 7:05 ESPN

[Fred Hornkohl]

On this day last year, the Cubs were 9.5 behind St. Louis.

 

They’re going to be 11.5 behind after tonight.

 

Where were we in the wild card race?

 

Starting today 0.5 games back.

[Guest]

Honestly, will anything the Cubs do ever be enough? Within the confines of the tanking plan, the front office hit for a really good average with the important moves. And it really just doesn't feel like anything will ever be enough to overcome these dick bags

 

Nothing ever will. Woe is us.

that play ball commercial really made me want to go to the batting cages

[UMFan83]

it's baseball, all it takes is one good week in october

 

Given that we know the playoffs come down to luck more than anything, that doesn't help. Our history with luck is pretty terrible.

 

That Will Ferrell spoofish Lifetime movie is on.

 

We've made the playoffs 6 times in the last 70 years, so its not like we've had a ton of chances to succeed in the playoffs.

7 out

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS haven't given up 4 doubles in one game since...... uh....... well...... since last night.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

MAKE XANDER SHARTS PAY

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 21-11 (.656) when the opponent commits at least 1 error.... 18-23 (.439) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

"was killed in a car crash" is an artful way of putting it

I liked Maddon's answer to the starting pitcher question better than Matheny's.

Good try, but don't bother. It's GameThreadTown.

Speaking in half-truths

[ScrubMD]

Guys, can we be real, like really real, and seriously discuss the possibility that all of the dead Cardinals are sacrifices to some kind of demonic power?

I thought this was the prevailing opinion now, honestly.

 

But it seems like most people mention it tongue-in-cheek. I think it's time to get real.

[Smack]

I feel gross after reading another teams forum after a big loss. I can't imagine going their to actively troll. So weird.

[UMFan83]

Wait do they really have a wall honoring dead drunk driving cardinals?

the fact that it's so reliant on luck is to our benefit

[Irrelevant Dude]

Wait do they really have a wall honoring dead drunk driving cardinals?

Do they ever die any other way?

Indeed. He did a dumb thing and killed someone in the process. His name shouldn't be mentioned as if he's a victim.

I think he should honor him by going out and having a drink.... and then drive home.

[Guest]

what if there was a giant car that fit all the cardinals in it and they were all drunk

[ARCubsFan]

Not one mention of his girlfriend or the fact that he was drunk

[Cubswin11]

what if there was a giant car that fit all the cardinals in it and they were all drunk

Like a bus?

[Guest]

it's also cool that the cardinals got caught cheating and then the story died immediately
