9/10 Cobs (Jon) vs Brewers (Miley Cyrus) 7:05 NBCSC

[Andy]

This lineup is absolutely horsefeathering atrocious

[minnesotacubsfan]

man we suck at baseball right now

[Gilby]

Now we have to punt the 5th inning too

[Stu]

Almora, Contreras, Russell and Lester all in the lineup is just brutal offensively

[PackLandVA]

man we suck at baseball right now very often.

Get Almora off this team. Give me Chris Coghlan. Or anyone else. Play Gore.

 

At least Gore wouldn’t GIDP and could actually bunt for a base hit. I would assume he’s at least decent in the field because of his speed.

It’s almost like spending 6+ hours a day at a ballpark for 20+ straight days takes a toll on a team

[soccer10k]

Another horsefeathering blooper.

Seriously, Lester is probably hitting the best out of those 4 hitters. I understand defense but why but so many garbage hitters in one lineup? Russell and Almora aren’t magically getting better this year. Contreras I have a small hope will recover but am thinking his confidence is just shot and won’t get better until next year

[Gilby]

Go stand in the corner Addison

[Bryants Disco Ball]

OK. OK. I love Duker, but I no longer ride with him.

 

It's over. It sounds like we will for sure get one of the Wild Cards, but we are losing the division. I'm not even mad despite my hatred of the VBs. I'm past that stage.

I love the continuous posts each day in game threads:

 

-[fill in the blank player] is gonna dong this inning

 

-[Cubs are gonna put up [fill in the blank number] runs this inning

 

-during a terrible offensive producing game, and down late, "The Cubs are coming back to win this one!"

 

-"[fill in the blank player] horsefeathering blows donkey d!cks, he's so awful!!" just before he homers.

 

A blind squirrel eventually finds a nut, right?!?!? OK, that last one on the list was a joke. But the other, right?

[UMFan83]

Cubs will somehow not score this inning.

[soccer10k]

Well there’s Willy’s hit for the series.

[Cubswin11]

Nice base running Willy!

[chibears55]

I think Contreras forgot who was behind him when he was trying to pump up his mates after his double..

 

Lester Russell

 

Can't really get a rally going with those guys up

[soccer10k]

Damn. Thought that was going over his head.

[Cubswin11]

horsefeathers off Cain

[chibears55]

3 n 2 whatcha gonna do walk him walk him..

 

Lol

[soccer10k]

Come on Murphy. Pretend it’s the 2015 NLCS.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I imagine Russell's chart of batting average by location has a giant red hole in the center of the zone.
