Please start winning again this season

[Sammys Boombox]

Maybe the Cubs are just trying to make sure the Cardinals and Pirates don't use the deadline to start their rebuilds.

I could see this series going 2 ways. We get right and beat up on the Reds, or we have a series like that one in Milwaukee and struggled to score and ended up losing2 out of 3.

 

Top of the rotation going though so youd expect 2 of 3 or sweep

[bcl412]

Cubs are mad. The Reds suck. We will destroy them.

Win or lose?

 

Whoa.

[raw]

Arrieta seems to be a guy that turns it up a notch when he needs to. I'm not going to look up any stats right now, but I feel like when he doesn't like the way he pitched the previous time out or the team is desperate for a win, he tends to dominate.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Hopefully Dan Straily remains bad and doesn't do the whole catch on somewhere else, and every time he plays against us, he's going to stick it up our f'ng ass like Justin Bour just did.

 

But seriously, anything short of a blow out will make me question all that I've ever believed in.

[Splendid Splinter]

Since it's my birthday, Jake is pitching a 13K CG shutout and we will see 3 dongs.

[Brian707]

Last week was only the 2nd losing week all season. Cubs right the ship.

[The_Achiever]

Still a nice cushion in the division but I want double digits by the ASG.

Jake threw a no-hitter on my birthday

And the RD to be at least +200

[stitchface]

Arrieta seems to be a guy that turns it up a notch when he needs to. I'm not going to look up any stats right now, but I feel like when he doesn't like the way he pitched the previous time out or the team is desperate for a win, he tends to dominate.

 

 

His command has been subpar for quite a while now. Seems to be catching on to the rest of the starters lately.

I could have read it all wrong, but I thought there was some info posted recently that showed his command is still mostly fine, but opposing hitters are laying off a lot more than they did before.

[Schwarber Fan]

Bryant, Contreras, and Coghlan all homer tonight in lopsided Cubs win.

[CubInOK]

Whoever edited the title could at least spell Zeus's name right.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Touch home after touching all the other bases in order more than the other team please.

While we're editing the title, it's Cubs @ Reds, not vs Reds

I hope you read it all wrong because that may be tougher to fix . . .

 

 

Who is that in your photo on the top right?

[BigSlick]

I want everyone to be good and hitting again

I just assumed it was Coghlan.
