9/9 Cobs (Mike) at Nationals (Kevin Federline) 12:35 NBCSC, TBS

They basically had Friday and Today off and sat around and did nothing in the Clubhouse..

 

All the relievers had today off..

 

Cubs have 3 pretty good starters going up against the Brewers at home, these next 3 days..

 

They don't step it up and win this series , they have noone to blame but themselves

 

Maddon needs to quit being cute with the lineup and all, and play these 3 games like their playoff games

 

While it probably isn’t as mentally draining as playing a full game, it’s definitely not the same as an off day. They still have to report to the stadium, get pregame work in, prepare for the game, and then waiting around and actually leaving the ballpark after you normally would. There’s obviously a lot of “work” that goes on that isn’t the actual game. And it’s more time away from their families, homes, etc

Right now it looks like Tropical Storm Florence is projected to hit NC/VA on Wed. night. I'm guessing this will impact Thursday's game.

 

Then I read this thread...

Yeah, I don't think for a second MLB intended to horsefeathers over the Cubs this weekend, but they seriously fucked over the Cubs this weekend.

The weather in DC F’ed over the Cubs last October too.
