Sometimes waves and waves wash in medical waste, too.

Walt and Jesse reaching their financial goals only to have the rug ripped out from under them and have to start over again is a perfect fit for this win one lose two win one team.

*cough*

KB isn't the greatest first baseman. That's fine. He's not a first baseman.

If Nolan Arenado wants to appeal his five-game suspension, that would be great. We play them next weekend and maybe he'd miss some of those instead.

Happ had a nice day today

Any chance we still come back and win this one?

[17 Seconds]

very troubling, very troubling

[Cubswin11]

Game threads should just go in the teams who won't win the world series thread until they are at least 5 games over .500, that'll show em'!

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Wait. We have scored zero or one run five times in the first 13 games?

[UMFan83]

Well the good news is that we are averaging 4.67 runs per game over our last 3 games and have only been outscored by 1 run

You learned nothing after melting down in April last year?

[UMFan83]

[expletive] I had so many good gifs prepared for this Breaking bad run. Honestly that is the worst thing about today by far.

an extended slow start by this year's team would be a lot more concerning than last year's

Explain, because assuming health this team is a lot better than last years team at this point of the season. The wins will start to come.

Why? This team is better. Also, it's horsefeathering 13 games. They're only 6-7. It's not that bad. They even have a positive run differential. And they're playing without one of their best players.

 

This is horsefeathering nothing.

Explain

 

because last year we knew the back of the rotation was killing us, and that it would be taken care of either at the deadline or in the offseason. the rotation we have now is locked in. if darvish and chatwood disappoint, it's a much bigger problem. also russell and schwarber are coming off bad years, so if they struggle again, it would mean they probably just suck. then of course there's been the immediate implosion of happ, which has probably completely tanked his trade value.

 

basically, there are fewer reasons they should be sucking this year, and less ways to fix it if it continues
