05/23 CUBS (Lackey) @ St. Louis (Wainwirght) 7:15 CDT, CSN+ TV

[Ski]

probably score more than three runs when we get to face a terrible pitcher next time guys.

 

[expletive]

The Cubs haven't been paying attention for the last week, sadly. The only good pitcher we've faced since Cole was Bumgarner.

[UMFan83]

Seigrist it's ok to come out. Kyle Schwarber is not here

[Andy]

I'm not sure what's more ridiculous, the year they hit damn near .350 as a team with RISP or that they're on pace to hit 36 pinch hit homeruns this year.

Or their ludicrous overperformance as a pitching staff with RISP last year. It's always some sort of insane statistical anomaly with these pricks.

 

We're winning this game though.

[Sammy Sofa]

Lackey gave up that home run literally 5 seconds after I turned the game on, so I shall declare him to be a loathsome, horse-toothed anus no matter how well he actually pitched.

[soccer10k]

Leadoff walk. Punish them for it.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Why use a reliever as the pinch runner?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

The ump deserves that for the strike 3 call on Soler.

[UMFan83]

At least the Blues are blowing it

[Cubswin11]

Why use a reliever as the pinch runner?

Short bench since Szczur already came in for Soler, Heyward may or may not be available and Wood probably wasn't available to pitch tonight as he's pitched a lot the past few days.

[BigSlick]

Give me a donger and close it out please

[CaliforniaRaisin]

They're checking the ump for a concussion? Was he already concussed when he called Soler out on strikes?

[BigSlick]

Oh man....Wood should have made it to second there

[Ding Dong Johnson]

any other catcher from any other team probably gets a slight chuckle from me. not him

[UMFan83]

damn I was hoping it was going off of Hollidays dong

[BigSlick]

God damnit

[Ding Dong Johnson]

yucky

[JennieGarthAlgar]

Why use a reliever as the pinch runner?

 

Would you rather we ran with Fedorofitz? Or Ross? Surely you wouldnt want to use LaStella just to run, right?

[Ski]

Stop playing like trash, Cubs. Holy horsefeathers.

[Cubswin11]

Holiday looks like he's about to fall over on his face every time he comes running in on a ball

[Ding Dong Johnson]

WOULD SOMEBODY (cob only) WHIP OUT A DONG ALREADY???

[UMFan83]

Where is the explosion off Javys bat? 2 times tonight I thought he squared up the ball well and both were harmless fly outs

[Schwarber Fan]

If this is overturned, I give up.

[soccer10k]

They shouldn't be able to overturn it. We got burned on one of these the other day (can't remember the game) where it looked like the Cub runner was safe but they called him out in the first place.

[squally1313]

Seigrist it's ok to come out. Kyle Schwarber is not here

 

This will probably just sound reactionary to the last 10 games or so (and part of it probably is), but man, I miss Schwarber and his majestic dongs.

[BigSlick]

WOULD SOMEBODY (cob only) WHIP OUT A DONG ALREADY???

I know right
