It's 420 and the Cubs are back to .500

A visual depiction of the Cubs starting pitching right now

 

[jersey cubs fan]

You’re risking a sprained tongue

[Bertz]

The Dbacks lineup is terrible and Greinke has given up 8 dongs in 23 innings.

 

Today would be a really good opportunity to get back to feeling good about Darvish and KB again

[Sammy Sofa]

Bryzzo after Bryant lured Rizzo into his weird Mormon version of a slumpbuster:

 

[Sammy Sofa]

Also: Bryant's spot in the lineup is like when Weird Science screeches to a dead horsefeathering halt so Anthony Michael Hall can riff to a bunch of old blues musicians with his "black guy voice." Yiiiiiiiiikes.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Those are not the plays of a bad outfielder. They are just not.

[Sammy Sofa]

Schwarber heard Backtobanks.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Oh, Yu.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Why did I turn this turd on?

[Old Style]

Darvish blows

[rocket]

well, at least we had 1 start this season where yu wasn't terrible

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Damn it, we again are going to have to look for small things to be encouraged about.

[Schwarber Fan]

You know Greinke will be on today just because.

[Sammy Sofa]

Ye gads. Easily Theo's worst Cubs signing.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I think Hottovy just retired after that pitch.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

It would have been cool to just get one dominant season from him early on. Six crappy ones is going to suck hard.

[CubinNY]

Darvish has no idea where his ball is going.

[Sammy Sofa]

It would have been cool to just get one dominant season from him early on. Six crappy ones is going to suck hard.

 

Oh, horsefeathers; I was thinking it was for five and how bad THAT was.

[UMFan83]

The good news is Chatwood starts tomorrow

[Bryants Disco Ball]

It would have been cool to just get one dominant season from him early on. Six crappy ones is going to suck hard.

 

Oh, horsefeathers; I was thinking it was for five and how bad THAT was.

 

At least it's only five now.

[weis21]

Eh. If Q and Hamels can keep up being above average along with the known commodities of Lester and Hendricks, Yu can be a wild card/5th starter/occasionally good and the Cubs will be fine.

[Sammy Sofa]

I'm gonna be positive for once and declare that Darvish will still get at least a QS today.
