7/06: Cardinals (Lackey) @ Cubs (Lester) 7:05 ESPN/WGN

Please just cut Edwin now. He is such a waste of a roster spot.

[SpongeWorthy]

Never trust a guy with two first names

[treebird]

just realized that coming back from the rain delay means my fantasy team gets a bonus save and probably a couple k from rosenthal. HURRAY FOR BASEBALL

and here i thought the cubs might miss a chance to disappoint me

[NotSoSober]

tonight sucks

tomorrow will be worse.....much worse. jackson needs to just start hitting guys til he's ejected

[Ski]

If the Cubs were just slightly better with hitting with guys in scoring position, the past two weeks don't even look that bad. But a combination of everyone sans Bryant slumping at the same time and everyone forgetting How to hit a baseball with RISP has made for a historically putrid stretch. This is as much an issue of approach and mentality as it is about having a couple bad hitters in the lineup.

 

If everyone was playing to their career averages right now, We'd be fine. But Fowler decided to be bad at baseball in his contract year (when the opposite is supposed to happen), Castro picked a key resurgence year to suck (yet he hit well season when it hardly mattered), and Russell is going through some obvious growing pains. A lot is going wrong for the offense to be performing this poorly.

 

But biggest of all, we can't get a clutch hit worth a damn.

[Sammy Sofa]

WSR probably still wants to see Jackson get a start.

All this [expletive] is only going to make it sweeter when we surpass them

[Ski]

Also, Edwin needs to be gone tomorrow. I can't imagine management or the front office has any patience left with him.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Yep, glad Beeler is starting tomorrow over Jackson.

PTR would have to take out another loan

i assume i will no longer be capable of sensing sweetness or any other tastes in 2097

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Well hopefully that will be the last we see of Jackson this series.

[Guest]

this pitcher looks like a doofus

3.63 era with a 9/10 k/bb. seems legit.

[Cubbie Swagger]

After what I just witnessed, I just feel bad for Edwin. I wouldn't even be able to boo the guy. That's how bad I feel.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I was kind of hoping the inning went on for another 9 or 12 batters so maybe his arm would fall off and that would be the end of it.

[Cubswin11]

Soler did a great job getting behind that ball. Not....

 

Not like a 3 runs against Rosenthal is hard or anything.

Yeah let's complain about our RF with perpetual leg problems maybe taking it a bit easy on a really wet/sloppy playing surface. Not even taking into account it was to deep RF and he didn't even have a throw

[Sammy Sofa]

Someday the FO will have a major FA signing that isn't anti-climactic at best. SOMEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

[downsr30]

 

oh it's that easy. sweet! go tell them.

 

 

Uhh pretty sure the team in red is telling them..with plenty of examples

And we were supposed to have Annibal Sanchez instead, who won the ERA title after he signed with the Tigers. (But kinda sucks this year).

the original post is dumber than the idiots blaming castro for not beating out the double play

[downsr30]

But let's not say anything about Soler attempting to throw someone out at first base? I feel like that might be a bit more strenuous.
