5/15 Bucs (Cole) @ Cubs (Lester), 1:20, CSN

[Ski]

I'm confused. How isn't our shouting on the internet having any effect on this game?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I'd feel differently if we were going to see a different pitcher than the one that has been dominating us all day. Also, I'm not complaining [expletive] like this will happen from time to time you run into a great pitching performance.

 

To be honest, I'd rather see Cole out for the 9th getting the top of the lineup another look at him, and with near 100 pitches. Doesn't look like he's going to get that shot though.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Cole is the man today. Hat tip.

[Brian]

one of us will be right at some point, but I'm going to go ahead and prematurely call the first Heyward dong for the bottom of the 9th.

[Brian]

pretty sure Hector's fly is down

[Aaron_Kennelly]

This loss shall be even more dreadful for the Pirates than all the 5-run drubbings.

[bcl412]

Cubs will tie it than hit a grand slam to make this a mini-run differential game

[Ski]

Hey, Kang - only our guys are allowed to lay off close pitches.

[David]

this is the kang revenge game, not cole

[Ski]

Kang.

[Hunter]

Where's Coghlan when we need him.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Oh well can't win them all I guess.

[David]

i am legitimately shocked heyward didn't catch that

[UMFan83]

Closers in non closing situations. That ish is legit

[Sammy Sofa]

It'll just make the walkoff win that much sweeter.

[Andy]

I don't think Rondon's FIP is going to be negative anymore

[BigSlick]

Oh, I guess it's that Rockies game again

 

Ah well, gotta lose one to the Pirates eventually. Woulda been nice to ge 10 games up and 20 games over 500

[Ding Dong Johnson]

omg, get Rondon out of there. he's so bad at pitching baseballs

[UMFan83]

20 games over is the invisible barrier that 10 games over was for much of last year.

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, I guess it's that Rockies game again

 

The best part about forgetting most things about baseball is I sure as horsefeathers never dwell on random losses like this. It must be awful to actually have a reference point each time the Cubs lose a game.

[David]

i blame stupid ass rose

yeah..aside from that weird ass game against the reds when we gave up like 8 runs in an inning, i have zero specific recollection of our losses...well, the double header too because that's fresh and was a double header.

 

i have no idea what the hell he's talking about.

I randomly remember lots of random regular season games yet i don't know what he's talking about

Wasn't it 5 for a long time?

[BigSlick]

I remember the losses because there are so few of them, there are like 15 games we won 9-2 that I have no recollection of

 

I rule
