Man, both those Brewer hits were annoying.

Why does it seem like the Cubs are usually on the wrong side of these?

[WoodRules]

Man o man. Time to go clean the garage. And by clean the garage I mean drink alcohol in the garage.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I'm with JD on that balk.

[dfnowak]

How about Joe put someone in to stop the bleeding?

[UMFan83]

Are the Cubs trying to give up a 9+ run inning against every NL Central team? Already got the Cardinals, Pirates and Reds, with the Brewers on their way here

Jon Jay? Martin? Too early?

[Schwarber Fan]

How long before Schwarber Fan pops in and complains about how we're going to get swept by the Brewers?

 

I don't know if we're going to get swept or not, but to think this team is scoring 5 today with the wind howling in and the way the bats have performed nearly every day for a week, is wishful thinking.

[dfnowak]

Not sure putting in one of the worst pitchers in the bullpen is a good way to keep the Cubs in the game.

Confirmation bias. The Cubs have plenty of innings with a lot of dink and dunk hits

[UMFan83]

Ok we're in fun bad mode here. 7 straight hitters have reached to start. Let's see a grannie here

[TMan92]

Boooooo!!!!!!!

[UMFan83]

This is the least enjoyable 85+ win team ever

You posted here in 2004.

Why does Maddon always seem to bring Grimm in to turn an early manageable deficit into mop up?

[Gilby]

God bless the Reds for that sweep

[dfnowak]

Ok, I'm out. Anything is better than watching this.

[PackLandVA]

When did Justin Grimm become so awful. He was pretty decent when after the Cubs acquired him, right?

[UMFan83]

Not bad Grimmer, you allowed both inherited runners to score but you only gave up 4 runs of your own

Seemed like an ideal situation to bring in CEJ.

Yeah having a super short leash for Montomery and then leaving Grimm out there forever to fully put this one away is odd when you have a bunch of relievers to work with.

[Schwarber Fan]

Hopefully we have a comfortable division lead when we go into Milwaukee for 4 at the end of the month.

[Laura]

I think I'll turn off game notifications for the rest of the day.

Typical reliever variance.

Someone on the non-Cubs game thread was calling me an idiot but I still think the Cardinals win the division. I stopped listening to probability sites when the election happened.

[Little Slide Rooter]

May as well just leave Grimm in for the rest of the game or until his arm falls off. Whichever comes first.
