5/5 Yankees (Pineda) @ World Champion Chicago Cubs (Hendricks) 1:20 CSN

[Schwarber Fan]

Still World Champs!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'm not even angry at all because I didn't have a good feeling about Hector today for some weird reason

Today was the first game in over 3 years the Cubs led by 2 or more in the 9th and lost. Broke a streak of 152 straight wins.

We can thank Kris Bryant for keeping that streak alive until today.

I didn't see any of the game but had Pat and Ron on in the 9th. They were definitely warning Rondon not to throw his slider to Gardner with that wind direction and the late swings on his fastball.

 

Also would it be fair to say the Yankees outplayed us the whole game? I'm looking at that hit column..

I don't know. We've had this talk before and I was one of the people that didn't get as upset at losses early in the year. But I'm pretty pissed about this one.

this is going to be a silly, blip of a loss when we're celebrating our three peat next year.

[17 Seconds]

86 wins would have been pretty fun a few years ago

I'm like a 2.

 

I have found it virtually impossible to get very mad about the Cubs this year.

 

Being human makes it harder to remove emotion from the equation that determines pissed off levels. Even when my head is like, "Dude, you're the defending world champs and (almost) everything sucks right now and you're still in first place."

 

It's more like now that I've gone through a postseason run like that, it's hard for me to get all angsty about regular season games. It has numbed me to this stuff. I still enjoy the good stuff, but after the heightened emotions last year and how insanely on edge I was for that entire month of games, these games feel like a couple notches above ST games, which is something I've never felt in a regular season.

I've said almost these exact words.

This one didn't bug me. Felt like they had no right to win today given how much traffic the Yankees had on the bases and how depleted the bullpen was.

Think we need to get the fatalism thread back up

[Little Slide Rooter]

Baseball can be a real jerk sometimes.

Ding Dong, you got the game thread if Heyward Fan doesn't show up in the next couple of hours.
