cool so last season wasn't a world series hangover just the beginning of the descent into bumdom

[NotSoSober]

Those coaching changes have done wonders. I'm not watching, just hungover and pissed though

[Sammy Sofa]

Why am I still surprised that Almora is SO damn slow.

We. Made. The. NLCS.

[UMFan83]

Such pug vomit.

 

Can’t wait til the Cobs get better o beat up on the pud teams like the Mets Nats Dodgers and Dbacks

 

We are totally going to turn around and sweep the Cardinals this week

Cool! And when they stop looking like absolute horsefeathers from top to bottom this season people will be happy again!

which by definition is a descent from the world series

 

and this is a descent from that

 

so there

Almora had a good jump and break there and still would’ve been out by 3-5 feet with a good throw. My god is he slow

That’s the goal? To get destroyed in the NLCS? Last year these guys cried about being tired in the NLCS because of how much effort they had to use in the 2nd half to make up for their shitty start.

Odds that Almora actually scores here?

[Sammy Sofa]

Hey, sweet! So the trick to getting those 3B runs in with less than 2 outs no problem is to be buried under a massive deficit.

Yes, that’s the goal.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

This is probably rock bottom and the winning streak starts on Monday.

 

Heh, are you assuming that tomorrow gets rained out or is that a gimme loss against the Vaunted Braves?

 

Yeah, I was going Schwarber Fan and declaring a PPD.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Yes, jamfan! The gang's all here!

[Sammy Sofa]

A dramatic recreation of what it's like to watch the Cubs these days:

 

[Cubswin11]

Javy’s swings with 2 strikes today have been brutal, not that they usually aren’t, but always bugs me how big a swing he takes in that spot. Is what it is, wish it would change.

Let’s not evaluate things after 14 games.

[Sammy Sofa]

Hahahah!

 

It's the top of the 4th.

[PackLandVA]

Everyone on the staff except Hendricks has an ERA over 4.70. Early on but not what you’d like to see against a slate of crappy teams in almost all really crappy weather

 

Half of the games have been in beautiful-weathered Miami or indoors.

[Schwarber Fan]

Len is such a professional. I can't imagine how Thom Brenneman or Hawk Harrelson would be handling this type of game.

[17 Seconds]

it doesn't matter that the rotation sucks because they're actually good

[UMFan83]

The Cubs Strike Zone bot has tweeted 8 times today and all 8 are calls that hurt the Cubs. What an awful umpire
