9/26 Cubs (Quintana) vs Pirates (Nova) 7:05 NBCSCH

It's amazing how not fun Cubs baseball has become.

 

I hope we play the Rockies in the Wild Card game so we can throw at someone for retribution for the Bryant beaning. (sarcasm font)

 

This year has been such a slog, that series feels like it was 6 years ago.

Thanks for posting. Forgot about some of those moments (the Heyward catch, the big throw-out of Lindor stealing second)

Am I crazy for wishing that the Cubs were on the road to play these last few games? There seemed to be a sense of oncoming dread with the crowds the last few nights. I could feel it through the TV. That may be seeping into the Cubs players and causing them to be tight. Bad energy in the air and what not.

if they want energy, they should score some runs

I'm sure the crowd is tense and its having an effect on the players. Injuries haven't helped. but when you lead off with Murphy, you're more likley to suck. Cubs are doing it to themselves. A decent line up card could probably pull them through it but Hippie Ditka has to act smart

Only team that’s been held to 0 or 1 run more than the Cubs this year is the Orioles.

[Billy_Buck]

Injuries. Inconsistent offense. The Yu Ty Experience. Death March. More injuries. Limper offense. Administrative leave.

 

On the cusp of a fourth straight postseason for the first time in franchise history.

I had forgotten that particular Javy tag. Just filthy.

SOP for Chicago crowds.

When you have to reassure people that the team is fine something, like, 58 times over the course of the season, maybe there are some actual problems there.

 

Shirley, you jest.

 

#59 - The team is fine. First place. Best record in the NL. Favorite to represent the NL in the World Series.

[Sammy Sofa]

The Cubs are going to lose 5 games in a row. I can feel it in my bone.

this actually exists?

Doubtful.

 

MaddoningTM has tried just about every lineup possibility there is, both good and bad. Multiple players can’t even get “lukewarm” at the same time. And they can’t seem to bunch hits together to score runs (when they actually hit).

 

I keep waiting for the offense to get back to normal at some point this year, and it really hasn’t happened. Hopefully, this is not the new normal.

Are you asking if WGN actually created this testament to Cubs sadness?

 

Yes. Yes, they did.

that they created it, yes I believe that. That it still exists? Even in the infinite ether of the inter-webs, I cannot fathom how it hasn't been permanently and completely destroyed.

Where’s Duke to make us all drop the razor blades?

 

even if the stuff he said wasn’t just blindly grasping at threads of optimism, no underlying team quality would make you comfortable with a half game lead over the brewers and the teams’ remaining schedules.
