lol hilarious that we've gotten most of our runs on dongs and they've gotten most of theirs on complete babip nonsense

 

they even got lucky as horsefeathers with the kb liner dp

[Ding Dong Johnson]

this game’s on me (and the horsefeathers bullpen). reds have outscored cobs 11-1 with me watching today

Yeah, a little bit better luck and this could be a 15-3 game. I know that sounds ridiculous but it really isn't watching this game and what the batted balls were.

It appears the Reds are really good at squandering gigantic leads but still winning.

[UMFan83]

Let's do one of those back to back to back things to start the 9th

[Cubswin11]

Let's do this thing

[Cubswin11]

Just get the tying run up and hopefully get one in the air and it flies out

[Derwood]

Hit 6 HR and lose?

[UMFan83]

We just split a home series to the reds who came in ice cold. Yay?

[WoodRules]

How many more games do we have against these dickheads?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I wish we got a half win for coming back. Unfortunatly, it's a full loss.

[UMFan83]

So are we broken again?

I figure fans of the rest of the NL Central are more than happy with it.

[Cubswin11]

Woof, oh well. Keep winning/splitting series and we are in good shape. Frustrating, but good shape

[David]

losing 9-0 would've been way less annoying

 

way less fun too but i don't care about memories from fun losses

[UMFan83]

At least we are guaranteed to have a 1 game lead going into the weekend.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

So are we broken again?

still

[UMFan83]

Guess that hope that the Aug/Sept of 2015-2016 would be replicated are fading fast.

 

I still feel like this is a very good team. The talent is there but the pieces just don't seem to be fitting. Still hope for the team to catch fire but starting to accept that this might just be what we are going to get from this team.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I hate baseball.

[Perd]

Damn, I thought when we tied it, we'd pull it out. But if this gets Grimm outta here, it won't be all bad.

they're playing at a 101 win pace since the break

 

yeah that's maybe not quite as absurd as those years but come on

[CyHawk_Cub]

Anyone else ready to just say eff it & give Maples a shot in the bullpen?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

who is this?

 

 

Holy horsefeathers, this is the worst person on twitter.

That's not even a horsefeathers it move.

 

Maples isn't likely worse than grimm

And 65 win pace since Aug 2nd

 

But to be honest though that pace since the break is better than I thought. Either way they have gone back to showing warts the last 2 weeks. Maybe it's just a blip but maybe the hot streak out of the break was the blip (or maybe like most things is somewhere in the middle)
