How does this team handle adversity? Our beacon of light and all that is awesome goes down, and the rest of the team puts up 14 runs. 1st Half Hammel is on the bump, so I expect 8 innings of 1 run ball, and another easy Cubs W.

damnit i played the song and i'm tearing up now

 

we just lost so much swag

Ray walked 3.45 per 9 last year, which would've been 8th worst in the league if he qualified. So good luck with that tonight, Robby.

These late games can kiss my sack already.

Good news. After tonight the Cubs will only have 1 game start after 7:15 PM CT between now and August 4th

[Sammy Sofa]

That IS good news!

 

Though now the Schwarber news will be the potassium benzoate, so THANKS A LOT.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Robbie. It's a grown man who goes by Robbie.

 

Also he is from Brentwood, just like OJ Simpson when he used to go around "murdering people".

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I guess, go Cubs or whatever. But I just don't even care right now.

Now that Shwarbs is done I feel like the season (and therefor life) is over

we'll probably score ten runs again tonight but I JUST DONT CARE ANYMORE :(

[Sammy Sofa]

Now they just have real, emotional inspiration to drive them to continue their greatness instead of just puppet shows and hippie animal magic or whatever the hell else Maddon had planned.

 

The season is still going to be wonder and triumph and joy.

[Sammys Boombox]

Yeah, my 9:30-5:30 work schedule is just fine with these late starts especially since the toddler goes to bed at 8:00.

[Sammy Sofa]

It's not a lack of sleep or anything; it's just that waiting so long to see the game blows donkey dong.

[Bote McBoteface]

we'll probably score ten runs again tonight but I JUST DONT CARE ANYMORE :(

 

Schwarber actually didnt have a hit yet this season and we're still averaging 9 runs per game. I mean, it still sucks, but at least thers the whole 'we dont really NEED him' angle that we can look at.

[Cubbie Swagger]

These late games can kiss my sack already.

Word to that.

 

I used to love the late games when I was a kid, cuz it meant I got to stay up late. Now, it just means I don't get to go to bed early.

 

Weird.

[Derwood]

It's not a lack of sleep or anything; it's just that waiting so long to see the game blows donkey dong.

 

It's both. I haven't seen the end of a single game this season because I'm falling asleep in the 5th inning (and have to be up at 6am anyways)

Socrates Burrito!

[Banedon]

Socrates Burrito!

 

I legit thought that's what Len said last night till the showed the graphic.

[Bote McBoteface]

Lol, wellington castillo hits 5th for them and we'd have to DFA him if he was on our roster.

[CubinNY]

Still on-track 162-0, it's on.

[CubInOK]

I guess, go Cubs or whatever. But I just don't even care right now.

I guess we'll have to score 10 runs tonight to ease everyone's pain.
