7/1 Cubs (Hammel) v. Mets (deGrom) 6:10, WGN/MLBN

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I'm thinking Jake and Lester can go 18 scoreless over the weekend and make everyone feel good.

 

is lester going 13?

 

You son of a bitch.

[Derwood]

Just leave Hammel in until his arm falls off

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Just leave Hammel in until his arm falls off

 

So you're saying we should take him out?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I wonder if he will be pissed at Joe for taking him out in the 5th inning.

[cwood218]

We're being out Donged by the Mets.

There's a light at the end of the tunnel, they'll be fixed when they face the Reds on Monday

[UMFan83]

Hammel went from 2.58 ERA to 3.45 ERA tonight. Awesome

[Sammys Boombox]

Looks like I made a good choice to turn this off at 4-0.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Well, July Hammel gon' July Hammel.

[davell]

I vote to bring in Peralta. For the rest of the game.

[Schwarber Fan]

Just call the game.

[cwood218]

I blame Bryant. If he was a real superstar like Trout or Ortiz ...etc he would already have 10 more home runs this game and we would still be winning.

[cwood218]

Oh right of course just when they start the epic 15 run inning comeback the umps stop the game...

[Schwarber Fan]

This will be called. F/5

[Derwood]

We're being out Donged by the Mets.

You might be surprised to know that the Cubs are only 8th in the majors in HR's

It's a conspiracy. Umpires hate the Cubs.

[Sammys Boombox]

Somebody please tell me Zobrist was removed just because it's a blowout. Not watching. Just looked at the box score.

[illiniguy]

It would be cool to shake out of this funk, this has not been fun.

[Gilby]

Somebody please tell me Zobrist was removed just because it's a blowout. Not watching. Just looked at the box score.

 

Almost surely because of the score. Nothing obvious happened to him.

[Pushfrog98]

I've been driving, just got to the hotel. When I stopped for gas, we were down 2-0. What happened? Was Hammel just super ineffective, or did the rain play a part in it? 5HR... Sheesh. 2nd Half Hammel is here in record time!

[Cubswin11]

I say we give RondonFan the Derwood game thread treatment for starting this debacle

[gobigred]

wonder if Ross gets the 8th inning tonight

[Aaron_Kennelly]

wonder if Ross gets the 8th inning tonight

 

Javy.

[CoolHandLuke]

It's really hard to fight the irrational bad feelings this recent stretch has brought.

[gobigred]

Wouldnt surprise me in the least if we do what STL did last year...win 100ish and lose in the nlds ...
