7/7 - COBS (Professor) @ White Sox (Nova) 1:10p on NBCSports Chicago

The Cubs are bad and should feel bad

[Schwarber Fan]

Promotion from CORBS to COBS was premature. My bad

There are 10 playoff spots out there. The Cubs are only eligible for 3 of them. This is how far they would be out in the other 7:

 

AL East - 11 GB

AL Central - 9.5 GB

AL West - 9.5 GB

AL WC 1 - 4.5 GB

AL WC 2 - 4 GB

NL East - 6.5 GB

NL West - 12.5 GB

 

Now the 3 that we can win:

 

NL Central - 0.5 games up

NL WC 1 - 0.5 GB

NL WC 2 - tied

 

We are super fortunate so I hope we can take advantage of that fortune by making the chances needed to kill it in the second half

the good news is that theo is truly thinking of possibly making changes at some point

Better score a couple here, Brewers rallying against the Pirates.

I dont understand giving a horsefeathers about the Brewers right now when the whole division is a series sweep away from first place.

 

Should we really cheer for the Pirates when they could catch up so easily.

 

I just stopped paying attention to the standings altogether. The Cubs just need to win games consistently. That's all I give a horsefeathers about.

 

Unfortunately they are not being consistently disciplined at the plate right now and they deserve to lose a lot with their awful approach.

On July 7: I’m predicting Kyle Schwarber will not be on the roster next year. Theo was talking about giving up at-at bats and Schwarber does that at least once a game.

Unfortunately, they waited too long on Schwarber and he doesn't have much value at all anymore. Everyone has been focused on Russell, Descalso, Almora but Schwarber has been God awful too outside of a few hot stretches. He's been worse this year than the year he got sent to Iowa.
