Would be nice for these [expletive] teams to put up a fight against teams like the Pirates.

 

So you think it's that these teams choose to "fight" as opposed to facing better pitchers/pitching performances?

One shouldn't assume every post in the game threads is completely rational. Hell, look at me. We're just frustrated.

 

the problem is that 95% of your posts in game threads are irrational, and it gets tiresome to see the same people tediously complaining about everything, especially in a season that is going great

One shouldn't have to assume that every post is irrational, either. Maybe take a break from the keyboard if you can't muster up anything that isn't over-the-top hand wringing.

I don't think many teams have better middle relievers than Grimm.

[UMFan83]

Let's just pretend that the Cubs went 1-2-3 last inning and the Reds just did the same. Still 3-1

[Careless]

Wait, Kent Merker had a no hitter there and you guys didn't mention that last night? Fail

[rawaction]

If the Cubs get 1 on this inning, they're tying the score.

But he wasn't good tonight. So, again, you think it comes down more to the other team trying harder against the Cubs as opposed to just running into a pitcher having a crappy outing?

and we are frustrated by your consistently terrible posts.

Baez please

[Little Slide Rooter]

Tommy LaStella is like every small, white middle infielder ever rolled into one small, white package.

[SouthSideRyan]

Back home, back to the basket balls!!

 

You mean the 'Banks Buckets'?

 

/Joe Morgan idiocy

 

He called it "Banks' Alley."

 

My dad and I are going to be able and say those two words and make each other crack up until the day one of us croaks.

 

I thought it was Banks Boulevard

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-39 (.204) when they trail at the end of the 6th inning.... 64-16 (.800) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

la stella is a punchable lil guy

[Ski]

Let's not forget the time Taylor [expletive] Teagarden won us the game against Chapman. Reliever meltdowns happen to all teams.

[Schwarber Fan]

Rodney has looked decent

[Aaron_Kennelly]

There is one positive right now, thanks to Bryan Price being a moron: As long as we tie this game, we will never see Chapman.

[Thed Hoyerstein]

you have the attention span of a severe ADHD 5 year old that has 12 butterflies flapping around your face

Why couldn't the Reds have traded Chapman. :(

[UMFan83]

Yeah basically gives us 1 more inning to work with here since we didn't call up Teagarden before the game

He's thrown 2 scoreless innings. That's farther than Soriano ever got. (He may have gotten through two before being absolutely terrible after but he was giving up rockets all along)

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 7-44 (.137) when they trail at the end of the 7th inning.... 67-11 (.859) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

Come on offense. You showed up 1 inning...we know you have it in you

[Ski]

Schwarber swung at ball four twice.
