7/5 - Rays (Snell) @ World Champion Chicago Cubs (Lackey) 1:20 CSN

[BigSlick]

this team has killed my hopes enough over 80+ games that comebacks just seem insulting to me

 

until they go on a prolonged winning stretch i'm just gonna resent the comebacks

[Transmogrified Tiger]

See, I can do that dumb horsefeathers too.

 

We already knew, man.

You guys are damn geniuses. The Cubs should be trying to hit the ball in the air no matter the situation. It is, how they were raised, after all.

 

I would like to submit that your(and my) ability to discern what a major league hitter is trying to do in a given at bat is wayyyyyyyyy lower than you think it is.

time for high 5s

Yeah, I'm going to need a further explanation of why you'd rather they just lose.

[BigSlick]

Oh I'm a total weirdo and I wouldn't prefer they lose

[Cubswin11]

Screw the closer is back!!

[Aaron_Kennelly]

horsefeathers the closer!

[Aaron_Kennelly]

That's what you get for being the only All-Star.

[Flames24Rulz]

Sustain this for the rest of the week now.

[UMFan83]

horsefeathers the closer!

 

Only 3 more runs until we are in Rondon range (makes me sad to say that)

[Cubswin11]

Rizzo, you buffoon

Surely. It sure seemed like it that inning though. I am clearly frustrated at the lack of getting em over and getting em in and leadoff runners generally getting stranded at the base they originally reached. So I commented on it.

 

However, if I (paraphrased) say, damn I wish Bryzzo wouldn't have tried to tie it with 1 swing and nobody out, and somebody says, so you want them to go completely against the approach they've used their whole careers... they deserve a smartass reply. It's as if there's no middle ground and people just want to invent reasons to talk sideways.

 

As I posted this Bryzzo put together a couple excellent ABs

[Cubswin11]

There's little leaguers who have a better understanding and ability to run the bases than Rizzo's gooney ass

He's always loved TOOTBLANs.

[Cubswin11]

Why isn't Heyward in RF?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Big win. Get another tomorrow.

[Cubswin11]

WE ARE NEVER LOSING AGAIN

[Omar]

This is gonna be a tough play - Bryant -- the CUBS ----- WIN! ---

Did you forget about Rizzo's magic slide against the Mets?

In general, the tolerance here for people expressing their frustrations in the form of thinly sourced judgements of the team is pretty low. I don't think that means you're wrong, but I don't think that (lack of tolerance) is bad either.

[David]

What if I told you that a chicken shawarma lunch special with a side of hummus turned the season around

put a spinning griller in the clubhouse, Ricketts.

I don't really have a problem with it as long as the words aren't twisted to try to make someone look stupid or make their self look witty. That's just cheap most of the time.

 

Anyway I have also not given up on the season unlike many other ninnies in here and I will continue to support them through the ups and downs but I'll still have grievances like everybody else and air em out from time to time.

Sounds like a good return from the Blue Jays for Miggy.
