i'm so glad we traded for this piece of garbage

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 34-35 (.493) when the opponent hits at least 1 HR.... 39-17 (.696) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

I'm sorry you have to remove him from the rotation and try one of Wada, Richard or Wood

[Sammys Boombox]

Great game, Haren.

[Andy]

[expletive] this. Would rather have stood pat than acquire another ticking time bomb regression machine.

At least we held onto those precious prospects

[BigSlick]

poor Dan Haren. Gotta love his attitude with stuff like his twitter account name being @IThrow88 but man

 

man. this dude is cooked

[sontensei]

This is the scarey part of this team the 4-5 starter has been mediocre all year.. Hendricks had some good games, and some bad ones, Haren is pretty much trash unless he pitches in a pitchers ball park... The cubs lead in the 2nd wild card probably wont go away (although it could by end of september) but Triple H will probably be why we cant catch the Pirates for 1st spot or Cards.. Triple H paired with 50% AAAA lineup is pretty much very low probability to win as we know.. but heck there is a nice comfy lead on the wildcard at the moment. so i guess it is what it is..

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 16-34 (.320) when they allow 5 or more runs.... 57-18 (.760) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

We didn't need to make a big move, we just needed to not acquire someone whose numbers basically SCREAMED "I am about to get crushed into oblivion and you would be [expletive] morons to give me important innings"

[UMFan83]

I can totally see Len send the game to commercial in his normal broadcasting voice and then as soon as it's off air saying "Jesus are you kidding me, this guy sucks"

Is it too early to start drinking?

[sontensei]

whelp this game is over pretty much. at least we went 5-2 in the season series vs. the Giants.

having merely mediocre 4-5 starters make you likely an excellent team, you realize that, right?

[sontensei]

yeah i think so lol

[Gilby]

Give me Richard or P Johnson. Clayton can at least keep the ball in the yard for 5-6 innings.

[UMFan83]

If you can count on winning maybe 20% of games started by Haren and Hendricks , it puts a lot of pressure on you to win every Arrieta and Lester start and most of Hammel's

you realize that this is what separates us from the Cardinals right? They dont have a starter with an ERA in the 3's. I dont care about a good team or an excellent team I want to see the cubs be the ?BEST? team.

What in the [expletive] are you talking about? I've heard of people liking the sound of their own voice but not whatever this is that you have going on. There was no point to this post except to be a miserable [expletive] because it's the only time you show up.

[NotSoSober]

[Guest]
