6/2 Cubs (Lackey) vs. St. Louis (Lynn) 1:20 pm CSN/MLBN

[UMFan83]

Oh my gosh, what in the hell is wrong with these losers?

[UMFan83]

It does seem like the Cubs go out of their way to make one terrible defensive play in every Lackey start just to piss him off.

[haubrich91]

So what starting pitcher are we going to deal for this summer?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Man, we are just ripping the ball.

that's the only thing I like about them

[Tim]

So if Dex has a really good series, do we win? He goes, we go.

[UMFan83]

None if we keep playing like this

[Sammy Sofa]

I just turned on MTV Classic as the inning ending and what immediately comes on a second later?

 

Motherfucking terrible Sublime's "What I Got."

 

That has to mean something, right?

 

I mean, probably that they'll lose 28-3 and Bryant will take a line drive to the nards, but still...

[OleMissCub]

Lance Lynn has only pitched 4 full seasons and has 65 wins. That's not bad.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Dex goes to hell on earth, and so do we.

MTV Classic shows videos still?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

USA! erm... DFA! DFA! DFA!

I mean, don't they still kinda have to? This rotation is just going to keep getting older and the FA market isn't looking too hot.

[Andy]

We're probably more likely to deal one away at the rate we're going. Gotta rebuild

That's pretty much all they show.

 

I'm talking about the channel actually called "MTV Classic."

If they are like 7-8 games out of a playoff spot in mid-July (which is still even with this crappy start highly unlikely of course), they could decide to hang onto resources instead of making a deal for a rental like Darvish and just pursue him in the offseason. Or another pitcher in the offseason when the price is likely lower than at the deadline. I know that goes against Theo's 'every season is sacred' motto but maybe it makes sense to avoid giving up prospects like Happ or Jimenez in a lost season.

Yes I'm aware that such a channel exists. I just figured that by now they'd be showing videos on something called MTV Classic-Classic or whatever because it seems like every MTV channel that is created to show videos eventually stops showing them. MTV then MTV2 then MTV Classic.

[Sammy Sofa]

I didn't know it existed until, like, 3 months ago.

[UMFan83]

2 pretty bad calls against the Cubs so far today.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Kyle, ya got 1 strike

[UMFan83]

Wow Schwarber looked awful on that strikeout swing, it wasn't even close to making contact.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

hey Kyle, here's 18 pitches well outside of the strike zone

 

*kyle strikes out*

[Aaron_Kennelly]

To be fair, what's Kyle supposed to do when this jackass is calling those pitches strikes?

[UMFan83]

18 hits and 5 runs scored in last 51.2 non-Kershaw innings
