6/24 Cubs (Probably Montgomery) at Reds (Romano) 12:10, NBCS

[BigSlick]

Please contract the Cubs

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Not a great week for the pen...

 

Sunday in St Louis, the 9th inning in Game 1 of the DH, blowing leads in 3 of the 4 games this weekend. Turning a fairly close game into a blowout in the other game

 

To be fair, our pen has like five guys who started in Iowa on it.

[UMFan83]

Sounds crazy but we’re still in this. Let’s get a rally going and salvage the weekend

Winker, “Duvall told me that wasn’t a strike, blue.”

[Sammy Sofa]

But remember; people are spoiled for wanting the young Cubs to be more like the Astros post-2016. What a bunch of greedy, greedy slobs.

[BigSlick]

I, think with great sadness, I must say we should fire Joe Maddon

[Cubswin11]

Can’t do much but laugh

For sure. The Morrow and Edwards injuries are killing us more than 2 pen guys being out should

Hahahahah!

 

Not to nitpick, but you have one too many Hs.

 

I wasn't going to nitpick until you did, but now that you did, one of Sofa's GIFs he used way earlier in the thread had "then" when it should have been "than."

[BigSlick]

The cruelest thing about this game of all is costing Mike Montgomery another win when he’s had like 6 incredibly good starts in a row

 

The cubs are ungrateful

Would imagine the sh!tty starters going 5 or less innings so many times the first two and a half months of the season is one of the causes.

What’s a better option?

 

Now the pitching coach? horsefeathers that guy

Garrett and Iglesias, it's all but over

I would just take them being the Reds.

If the Cubs win, you agree to stop watching for the rest of the season.

The pitching coach is the guy we fired a pretty solid pitching coach for. Because of how much Joe loves him.

How is this Maddon's fault?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I do think it's funny that the game in which we score our most runs of the week turns out to be the worst one.

[illiniguy]

Nothing a good pajama trip wont fix.

[UMFan83]

The shitty part of series like this is that we are supposed to be building a buffer for when we have that like 24 games in 23 day stretch later in the year

I'm intrigued by you. You hate everything about the Cubs except for Maddon.

 

I'm fine with Maddon, so that's cool. But I'm still intrigued by you about this, and how you were pissed the Bulls lost a game the night the Cubs won the World Series.

And wasn’t a big reason Bosio got fired because Joe didn’t get along with him?

I just don't get where you're finding a manager better than Maddon? Joe Girardi? Like if you hate Maddon, you're gonna hate Girardi too.

It’s funny that his 2 big things are

 

1) calling out people who are overreactionary about Joe and/or calling out fans (aka #CubsTwitter) for irrational comments

 

2) making overreactionary and/or irrational comments about the Cubs as a whole being awful and gutless choking dogs
