7/8 cubs (arieta) @ pirates (liriano) 605pm cdt csn

Bringing up Clayton Richard reminds how 3 weeks ago our biggest annoyance was how the last guy in the bullpen kinda sucked

 

Hmm... when did Richard go on the DL? It seems like his absence has coincided with when the death spiral began.

[UMFan83]

I figure we should have a good chance to win tomorrow.

 

The one started by a guy who managed to get 4 outs his last start?

[Tryptamine]

Total # of Cub wins since June 20th against teams who are not the Reds, 1.

He should be refreshed and ready to go.

[UMFan83]

So the Cubs have had a late lead in each of the last 3 games and lost? How fun

Well that stat doesn't make me feel good. Screw you for sharing it.

[17 Seconds]

It sucked to realize that we were just a great team and not a superteam, but it reaaaally sucks to realize that we're just a pretty good team and not a great one

Maybe he was like a good luck totem or something

 

Clayton Richard really held the team together

It makes you realize how close we were to feeling different right now.

[Gilby]

At least we have Kyle Hendricks for the wild card game.

[Gilby]

I bet even Theo is spazzing out behind closed doors.

Richard's last game was the beginning of the death spiral. The first game of the Cards series, on June 21st. After this loss, we will be 5-13 without him.

horsefeathers it, just walk in 5 runs, Fat Boy.

Meanwhile we haven't overcome a late deficit and won in like 2 months

[Schwarber Fan]

Remember that home sweep of the Pirates? How was that this season?

[philosophizer75]

This is the sloppiest game I've watched in a while

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Cobs

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Oh, we're playing horsefeathers the other team's closer now?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

It's OK guys.

 

On Sunday I'm starting in a rookie ice hockey league for fat, slow nerds. Instead of talking about the Cubs, I will give you all updates on how our games go and we can have game threads for that until winter sports start.

Have the Cubs even lost 8 of 9 in the dark days?

I vote for public lashings.

[Derwood]

3 walks and a wild pitch from Cahill? Maybe the blackout is a blessing.

 

Ha, maybe? Try absolutely
