LOL

[CyHawk_Cub]

I'm just happy it's early in the season and games like these don't matter.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I horsefeathering hate baseball

[Gilby]

Believable.

[Hawk4Hall]

Unbelievable. What’s it going to take, Theo?

All the Ricketts to get shot into the sun.

[UMFan83]

Cubs are now 9 for 20 in save opportunities this season.

yeah you don't need urgency until like late august

These games will matter if we lose the division by up to a few games.

[Schwarber Fan]

We are going to be 2-3 on a homestand in which we should be 4-1. Oh, and guess what? We have no bullpen arms to use with Darvish on the mound tomorrow.

is that real

[Hawk4Hall]

All is well in the eyes of the owners because they are making money.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Cubs are one of the tallest midgets, no need to buy a ladder.

[We Got The Whole 9]

If we lose because Votto's foul tip was just barely unable to be caught by Contreras....

That ball had so much spin that I want to give him a pass but that has happened too much this year. His defense has been an arm and not much else lately, IMO.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Our bullpen help has finally arrived.

[Hawk4Hall]

Is Strop coming back Sunday?

[TMan92]

Come on, Albert. Time to play that fun old game horsefeathers The Closer.

 

What are these closers you speak of?

Something that other teams have.

[Hawk4Hall]

Not a bucket big enough to hold the barf that stat causes.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Would’ve been nice to hold it to 1 run game but not looking likely.

[BigSlick]

what the actual horsefeathers dude

 

we need ritual sacrifices of bullpen members to fix this

[Schwarber Fan]

That blown saves stat is incredible for a first place team.

yeah im not blaming him, just pointing out the bad luck that led to Votto getting on.

[abuck1220]

is maddon bringing this dude in to make a point or...?

[BigSlick]

Listen i'm not kidding - the Melisandre method - we need to make an offer to the Red God for favorable winds
