Gotta pick up the games against the Reds, even if they're improved.

 

C'mon Cubs.

I think this is the first time Derwood has ever gone full Derwood in response to one (or two in this case) of my posts. I'm not sure what emotions I should be feeling at this point.

I honestly think the Reds are a playoff contender if their pitching holds up all season

 

Yes we should beat them more frequently than 25% of the time but there are people (not here necessarily) that are treating losing to the reds like losing to the Orioles

MORE LIKE SPEW DARVISH.

Whew, good thing this offseason was spent improving the team to hold up in a competitive division.

[UMFan83]

Bad time to have our crappy 5th starter going

[Sammy Sofa]

Why the hell does it bug me so much when Almora does this. I've never been annoyed by a Cubs player doing well before.

I think someone mentioned before that even with his success, he hasn’t really changed his approach much, as we saw on Thursday with his rally-killing DP. But at least on that homer he worked himself into a 3-1 count.

[Schwarber Fan]

Heyward might as well just try to walk every AB, that’s about all he’s good for.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I saw on Twitter that Almora had his fifth HR of the month and wondered "Holy crap, I know I've been checked out, but is Almora good now?"

 

Upon further examination, he is not and I feel better.

[Sammy Sofa]

horsefeathers; I forgot they have to play the Astros next.

[Schwarber Fan]

It really is unbelievable how slow Almora is.

[soccer10k]

Was going to be annoyed at Almora there but then I realized it means we get Darvish’s PA out of the way this inning.

[UMFan83]

Go horsefeathers yourself Russell

[Sammy Sofa]

BOOOOOOOOOOO.

[Sammy Sofa]

Who gives a horsefeathers if it "feels good" for him, JD. Don't carry that horsefeathering water.

[Schwarber Fan]

It’s so funny how much Darvish wants nothing to do with batting.

[Schwarber Fan]

I feel like Rizz is gonna launch here

[Sammy Sofa]

Gimme a damn dagger right here.

[Sammy Sofa]

[expletive]; what were you looking for on that 2-0, dude?

[Schwarber Fan]

That works!

[Sammy Sofa]

Heck yeah.

[UMFan83]

Darvish trying to immediately give it right back. Nice

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, right; it's the 5th inning. Odds Darvish actually finishes it?
