8/25 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Giants (Cain), 9:15, WGN

[UMFan83]

Dammit I should have went to bed when it was 8-1. Now I have to watch the rest

[BigSlick]

oh for petes sake

[Brian]

strop please run to the mound like yesterday

[TruffleShuffle]

way to put out the fire, clayton.

[ARCubsFan]

yeah I don't think this is what Theo/Jed was looking for when trading for Hunter.

Haren and Hunter have probably been our two worst players since the deadline. If you would have told me that, I would have thought we'd be hanging around .500.

 

You thought we'd be around .500 solely on the basis of our 5th starter and a middle reliever being the worst players on the team?

They didn't make any major moves and they were floundering around the Trade Deadline. I know it's hard to remember that the Cubs weren't dominant like this a month ago.

[Ski]

FOR [expletive]'S SAKE, JUST GET AN OUT.

I hope my thought process doesn't have to shift from worrying about the aesthetics of the run differential to worrying about the win.

Why worry about run differential anyways?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

It's always nice to have to use Strop in a game we were leading by 7 in the 8th.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Still think Coghlan should have caught that.

[UMFan83]

Still think Coghlan should have caught that.

 

Probably

[CubInOK]

Why did we use Grimm up 7 runs again?

[Ski]

Please don't let this end up like the 10-9 Pirates game where the Pirates got clutch hits every [expletive] inning.

[Guest]

Everybody breathe

[UMFan83]

Why did we use Grimm up 7 runs again?

 

Maybe to keep him fresh? When is the last time we used him before today?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Let's dong a couple more times here as punishment for making us use Strop.

[UMFan83]

Strop only threw 2 pitches. Id like to see him come out in the 9th and try to save Rondon.

Yeah this doesn't make any sense

[Ski]

Cubs win probability is 97%.

i'm even more befuddled after he explained himself

[ARCubsFan]

*sigh* let's go Rondon

I believe 3 or 4 days ago. Been awhile.
