6/13 Cubs (Montgomery) @ Vaunted Brewers (Chacin) 1:10 CDT WGN

[Ding Dong Johnson]

yep, Joe is hammered

[squally1313]

Oh cool it's Wacky Joe

[UMFan83]

This Mad Men Rally Gif thing is going to be awesome when they come back to win in the 9th

 

 

 

Edit: And if it doesn't work, at least we got to look at Mad Men gifs right?

it shouldn't take a herculean effort to score a run. mlb teams regularly score runs. its not like some sort of unusual thing

 

And, again, this ain’t a playoff series where you are facing some of the best starters in the game.

 

This is like against the guys who are left off the playoff roster.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

what if this is the game we find out Duensing is our best LFer?

[Derwood]

at least we get some drunk-Maddon shenanigans with the relievers

The guy with the 2.71 ERA, the guy with the 0.55 ERA, or the guy with the 1.22 ERA? Which of those guys today would be left off the playoff roster?

[TMan92]

Is the ump a packer fan. Loser

[Andy]

Oh, so when we throw pitches in the zone, they're not strikes. This definitely is an interesting twist.

[squally1313]

There's a decent chance we end this game with two pitchers in the lineup. I wonder how often that's happened.

Chacin blows, and his ERA is helped by being in our division.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Also I wasn’t just talking about this one game but our stretches of crapness. Like Chase Anderson and his 15 ERA.

[Derwood]

Chacin doesn't blow. He's just decidedly average

[squally1313]

Yeah my bad, I confused him for Guerra, who is marginally better. I'm with Derwood. I'm sure everyone we've faced is saying that same thing about Randy Rosario or any of the other dorks we've called up from AAA in the last few weeks. It happens.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Chacin doesn't blow. He's just decidedly average

 

We are really breaking this down.

 

I’ll try again.

 

The Cubs go though pretty decent stretches where they are being shutdown by (fill in the blank) average starting pitchers.

 

The Cubs have too many good players and I expect no stretches like that because they are awesome.

[soccer10k]

Glad we’re letting the backup catcher bat in the ninth and not KB.

Who has a 2.71 era? Chacin's in 3.32, started the day 3.58. Though his K/BB is 6.8/3.6. He is not good.

Then you don't really understand how baseball works, and you're going to generally not enjoy watching it.

[Andy]

I can only assume Joe is trolling the Brewers by informing them just how few fucks he gives about whether we win this game by letting Gimenez bat there

[itisallpartoftheplan]

horsefeathers this team. I’m not watching tomorrow.

[Andy]

Nice hack, Contreras.

 

We'd better horsefeathering rage in STL.

Accidentally looked up Guerra's numbers, my bad. He's fine. 1.1 WAR on the year, before tonight, which would lead the Cubs pitching staff.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I have some good news for you.

[squally1313]

I'd assume most of us aren't, because it's an off day. But excited to see you the next time they're losing!
