6/13 - Slowly Dying Cubs (Lester) @ Mets (Wheeler) 6:10 CST ABC 7/670

[SpongeWorthy]

So how do we feel about Russell's off the field issues being a catalyst for an offensive awakening

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

I liked that inning! But I don't want to get too excited the last 2 times I thought the Cubs were fixed they went into long losing streaks again.

[Omar]

what kind of name is Josh Smoker?

[David]

i like this game

[David]

let's get horsefeathering 20 tonight

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Our lead off hitter is really good.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

rofl at Bryant being IBB'd

[David]

we needed to come through there to make 20 realistic

[Derwood]

we needed to come through there to make 20 realistic

 

Still on pace for 27

[UMFan83]

If the current scores hold the Cubs are in first place again tonight lol. Though the Cardinals are starting to play good baseball again so there's a chance we might not be able to make the playoffs at 81-81

[David]

i feel like happ's defensive inadequacies/questions have been grossly overstated

yeah but you need to bank those opportunities when they come

Jesus. I've been so annoyed lately I haven't even been following the Brewers. I was assuming we were at least 2 games out.

[NOLA]

Supposedly on the Cubs broadcast they are giving a Hendricks update. Anyone relay that to those of us stuck listening to Keith Hernandez?

Just the same stuff that has been said, though Rogers did have a "possible MRI" drop (which, I just assume teams do in most of these cases anyway).

At the moment, FanGraphs has the Cardinals projected for 83.5 wins and the Brewers projected for 77.0. Cubs at 88.7

 

All three of these teams are currently tied in the loss column too.

 

So I don't even know who we should be rooting for in that series or be paying more attention to. Obviously if the Cubs just got their horsefeathers together it likely wouldn't matter, but yeah.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

We need more outings like this from Jon Lester he's been very good so far today.

Just cheer for extra inning so their pitching gets fucked up for a week or so. Doesn't matter who wins, we are still winning the division by 7-10+ games.

[David]

damnnnnn that would've been big

[imb]

so glad the cubs are fixed

[imb]

I kind of hate ian happ

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I kind of hate ian happ

 

Everything he does is just a bit more awkward looking than it should be. He's like skinhead Hunter Pence.

[UMFan83]

I kind of hate ian happ

 

He can strike out 4 times a game if he hits a grand slam the 5th time

[Gilby]

So Bryant is basically going to be the best third baseman of all time if he stays healthy, we're thinking?

[The_Achiever]

Lol @ "slowly dying Cubs". That's certainly how it's been feeling!

 

Glad to see Neil Ramirez still in the show.
