8/22 Cubs (Lester) at Tigers (Liriano): 6:10 PM on WGN

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Let's not have this be the game where we actually score some runs then blow it

 

I love how four runs is now like an achievement.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Nothing like having to make your current closer pitch 1.2 innings in the second day of a 23 day in a row stretch.

 

Getting through 1.2 innings looking awfully optimistic.

[TMan92]

They are going to horsefeathers this up aren’t they.

 

I meant the Tigers

[imb]

christ horsefeathers i thought that was through when he hit it

[Schwarber Fan]

Phew.

[Sammys Boombox]

Maybe this says more about me than this team, but I’m not even enjoying watching these games right now.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

And now this is where we score one or two to make the 9th inning less stressful, but then horsefeathers the Cubs because they made the 8th inning no fun.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

please forgive me some momentary crotchetyness, but Murphy you better get your Aldi-brand-Hunter-Pence joints to second base next time instead of just staring at Javy

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Maybe this says more about me than this team, but I’m not even enjoying watching these games right now.

 

I'm a huge ninnie, but yeah, this isn't fun at all.

 

I just want a nice 11-0 win where literally we are on cruise control from the first inning and the other team never gets the tying run close to the plate. We deserve one of those.

Pat called him out on it.

seriously wtf was he doing. he acted like he thought he would be able to make a play on the grounder or something.

Cishek, Carl and Wilson didn’t have to throw like any pitches. At least.

i don't mean to single you out, but i think like half of the people who use the word ninny on here don't know what it means

[abuck1220]

so with russell on the DL, what is the defensive switch you make to get murphy out late? lastella to 2b? zobrist to 2b and schwarber to the OF? those aren’t great options.

I probably don't. I've just been called one on here enough to sort of embrace it.

 

I'll go check the definition now.

[imb]

this mccann guy can get fucked

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Ninny -- Foolish.

 

I am a ninny. But I also thought it meant a mentally weak sports fan. Which I also am.

LaStella isn’t any better than Murphy. For now it probably should be Zobrist (who’s better but still not great).

[UMFan83]

Javy make it all better

[Schwarber Fan]

WE’RE BACK, BITCHES

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Yup. The Cubs always do this.

[ConstableRabbit]

Len saying that Willson having a conversation with McCann... I missed it. What happened?

[imb]

baez hits the weirdest home runs. does someone track the backspin on those bad boys? how do some of them go so far?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Also, Daniel Murphy is going to be a huge, huge addition to this offense. We are really lucky he was all but just given to us in August.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

McCann was pissed that Willy blocked his view on a 2-0 pitch by trying to bunt.
