Everyone's going to hate the Cubs for how damn long their games are.

Non arrieta cubs games in the NL may be 4 hours long.

On screen death.

[CubInOK]

these last 6 years of pujols' contract are going to be as fun as a fart in church for the angels.

What if we were stuck with that instead of some guy with a giant head?

[NotSoSober]

he rams "our" back is my only guess

[Deeg]

With this lineup and Arrieta pitching, there just aren't a lot of natural bathroom break moments with this team.

A double FU to St Louis

You know how losing Jason Heyward was like a kick to the balls for St. Louis fans?

 

That screenshot is like adding a punch to the stomach for good measure with the Rams ad.

Will be interesting to see if they pull Arrieta here, with their talks of "conserving" him in certain spots during the year this seems like a logical one with a 6 run lead

[bukie]

If I'm being honest, I see no reason to send Jake back out for the 8th.

[Brian]

I'm guessing that's it for Jake at 89 pitches

[David]

starting to get concerned that all our games are going to be boring due to blowouts

 

were you bored in 08 or the end of last year?

 

i was not bored either of those times.

[sneakypower]

If you trade Trout, how do you have any fans left?

some would muster interest in watching Schwarber, Soler, Javy, Almora & Contreras

[treebird]

I'm guessing that's it for Jake at 89 pitches

 

yeah, if he had finished that last dork off quickly, i could see running him out for one more with a fighting chance to stay under 100. at 89 and with his bogus spring training, let's just cut him off now.

[Brian]

now pitching

I thought that was gone off Miggy's bat. Boy i was wrong

[Brian]

Cubs ready to get back to the hotel

[OleMissCub]

Nice arm Jason

[Andy]

Grimm is good but he's, unlike Jake, human

[soccer10k]

Glad to see they took Jake out. No need to stretch him first start of the year with a 6 run lead.

[bukie]

After 7 innings of Arrieta, the Angels hitters swing at the first 4 Grimm offerings.

[OleMissCub]

Boy it's a laugh a minute with this ESPN crew
