6/28 Cubs (Lester) @ Reds (Lamb) 6:10, CSN

[SpongeWorthy]

Too much straight stuff

[NotSoSober]

Ugh

[UMFan83]

Terrible throw by Scissors too he should have been out

[TMan92]

Great throw

[Cubswin11]

Awful throw

[UMFan83]

Rondon has blown 3 of his last 5 save attempts. Apparently it wasn't "screw the closer" it was "avoid the closer"

 

(I kid)

[TruffleShuffle]

Well that sucked. Oh well, time to win in extras.

 

that's optimistic, with the great billy hamilton coming to the plate.

[Sammy Sofa]

This would be quite the devastating loss.

 

You must be fun to hang out with

 

Y'know, as opposed to all the other recent losses, which he inexplicably thinks weren't "devastating." Buzzfeed is horrified with his hyperbole.

[Cubswin11]

Some say this is a tough luck game for Lester, I say stop giving up dingers to Billy Freakin' Hamilton and you could have finished it off yourself

[PackLandVA]

Walks by Cubs pitchers have really been coming back to haunt them a lot lately!

[UMFan83]

Joe said it's important for the Cubs to win those 2-1 or 3-2 games. So umm go out and win

[Andy]

I would've declared a fatwa on Hamilton if he'd won the game there

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Our bullpen blows even Rondon isn't reliable anymore.

[Tim]

I'm not worried about a matchup against the Cincy bullpen.

lol

[Ding Dong Johnson]

how is scissors a major league outfielder with that arm?

[Tim]

He's normally got a pretty good arm. He kinda choked that throw. Very nearly spiked it.

Victim blaming at its finest

[SpongeWorthy]

Lol where was that 2-1 to ross

[bcl412]

This would be one of those kick you in the teeth losses that just hurt when you're struggling. Find a way to win this dumb game please.

[Gilby]

Maybe Chapman isn't such a bad guy once you get to know him.

[Cubswin11]

Yeah I think he either had a bad grip on it or just had his mechanics out of whack and didn't release it properly. We almost had a Jacque Jones special there.

Why

[Tim]

At last the awfulness of Bruce in RF paid off for us

[bcl412]

I really didn't like that bunt.
