What a fun opening weekend

[Sosa21MVP]

Cobs.

[NotSoSober]

So I'm gonna end up hating Strop after this game too......

 

80 wins indeed

[17 Seconds]

just an awful organization that doesn't deserve our time

[UMFan83]

Red Hot Chili Peppers gifs next?

[bcl412]

Good had leads of 3 or more in three straight yet are 1-2

[Tim]

Good had leads of 3 or more in three straight yet are 1-2

While scoring 28 runs

[Derwood]

What’s the record for team with the most runs scored but finished below .500? 8.5 runs/game and 1-2 record lololol

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Still have the best run differential in the division.

[Bote McBoteface]

How the hell are we not walking Mazara there? F

[NotSoSober]

How the hell are we not walking Mazara there? F

Cause nothing is quite as cute as trotting out a 5 man infield so Maddon can pat himself on the back while drinking a glass of vintage

[Jaxbro]

Do I really want to ask why Zobrist is in the outfield there and not at 2nd with Bote at 3rd and KB probably catching Gallo’s ball??

 

And as has been asked, why even mess with Mazara and Joe’s dinky 5 man infield

[Thurman Merman]

Red Hot Chili Peppers gifs next?

Why stop there? They deserve nothing but sublime gifs.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

just an awful organization that doesn't deserve our time

 

See ya tomorrow.

[Old Style]

Maybe that computer that picked the Cubs to finish last was right.

What a fun opening weekend

Well at least you weren’t in the stadium for this horsefeathers show like I was. What a waste of time and money.

Yankees lost 2 of 3 at home to the Orioles and Red Sox lost 3 of 4 to the Mariners. I assume their seasons are over too. Shitty series for us no doubt and some of the worst ways to lose. At least the offense looks good. Bullpens can be fixed, even the options we have aren’t as bad as they’ve been the last 2 days. Hamels was a blown strike away from having a good start today. Idk, I’m willing to give it some time before I make any sweeping judgements. Edited April 1, 2019 by Cubswin11

[Derwood]

Cubs on pace to score 1532 runs and go 54-108

[Hawk4Hall]

Springtime For Hitler except this isn’t a hit.

I think this is a needed post. Not sure people like Duker or Tim are going to post enough to call us ninnies or tell us #wearegood. We need at least somebody to point out overreactions after three games.

 

Of course, I am one of them. I think our bullpen might really suck and all of our games are going to be 3 hours, 50 minutes.

I don’t know if I have faith in the front office to fix this mess. Their hands are tied with 3 bad contracts. Hayward, Darvish, and Chatwood.

 

The offense is a positive but man the bullpen is a mess.

The only way to fix it is to hope that Carl Jr. becomes good again and Morrow actually is back in May, and then you have four clean options in Carl, Strop, Cisek and Morrow and maybe somebody else I'm forgetting. That said, Carl has to somehow be good again and Morrow has to somehow come back in May.

 

Also, we really need the starters to not do this 5-inning, 95-pitch thing again.

Astros are also 1-3. I’m not panicking yet. If the offense goes into a funk, then I’ll go on the ledge.

Live look at the 2019 Cubs:

 

[17 Seconds]

nobody cares about the 1-2 record, it's the way it happened. think about the resources that were used to acquire the pitchers who looked broken this weekend. and it's not that they were bad, it's that they were complete messes in the ways that they were complete messes last year.
