7/25 Phillies (Hamels) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 3:05 CT ABC

[ctcf]

jeez you guys I know yesterday was bad but it's awful close to gam(e) time.

 

Cobs are now 3rd in the WC standings.

 

plz save us, Jay Carrieta

[SRQCub]

Any chance we can trade for Hamels before the game?

[bukie]

During the game, imo. If Hamels is cruising through 5 innings, get something done quick and pull him from the game.

[SRQCub]

No way. I'd rathat have him pitching against the Phillies tomorrow than for the Phillies today.

 

Then we'd have two guys MacPhail dealt away beating him on consecutive days.

Ross is playing. No Schwarber

 

Schwarber has still never started a game at Wrigley Field

Another terrible lineup another gb in wc2 standings

Can we please at least wait until the Phillies get a baserunner before we talk as if the Cubs already lost and the Giants already won?

 

Our pitcher who is on absolute fire going against a pitcher who has been struggling and we're going to lose which will propel the Giants to automatic victory because one guy isn't in the Cubs lineup.

its pretty evident the rebuild needs to be rebuilt

Go piss up a rope

The Cubs are playing .419 (13 - 18) in the opening game of series this year, but .593 (38 - 26) in the rest of the games. Since May 19, they are 5 - 14 in games to open a series, 25-13 in subsequent games.

How in the world could we even win a one game playoff, better blow it up again and trade young talent for young talent get some contact hitters, get a real closer and get a catcher who can catch and hit.

Cubs can't score runs so let's leave Schwarber on the bench yet again. Brilliant.

I'm not a historian, but I'm pretty sure we won that Game 2 doubleheader without KS in the lineup.

[Boris]

we need to win this [expletive] series

Yeah I hear high members of the front office and possibly the owner will be in attendance for his start.

Hypothetically, say we completed a Hamels trade in the next 5 minutes, forcing the Phils to scratch him, could we start him tomorrow?

[DiamondMind]

I understand why you guys like seinfeld more and more every day

[DiamondMind]

in all honesty Hamels been awful over the last 30 days and Arrieta is pretty much pitching Jesus, so, lets win

[DiamondMind]

Where is everyone today?
