How can Theo even fix all the holes he's created?

Willy back tomorrow, call Happ up, trade for Castellanos (who isn’t going to cost anything we care about) and even just a mediocre bullpen arm would go a long ways.

[NotSoSober]

please don't waste assets on rentals for this team

You say this like we have any

I'm not at all confident a single bat acquisition (out of the likely candidates, that is) this deadline is gonna move the needle. I'd love an impact bat, but that ain't gonna happen. The good news is the Brewers and Cardinals suck.

Shocking how a team trotting out multiple terrible players can’t get it together.

 

What do you mean? Giants have won 17 of 20.

i gotta tell ya, the fact that the brewers and cardinals also suck does absolutely nothing for me anymore

It just makes it more annoying we’re not 7 games up right now.

[Edith Cox]

I wished the Cardinals sucked, but they've won 9 of 11 games and Goldy is heating up and Carpenter will eventually start to hit again.

[BigSlick]

I’m actually impressed at the Cubs commitment to never getting your hopes up *too* much. Every mini-hot streak is rudely interrupted by just awful horrific play

 

I wanted second half mega Cubs, but the road Cubs comes to bonk me on the head. Damn me for my optimism.

[UMFan83]

The 7-1 start with four 1 run wins was a mirage

Totally agree with this, because who cares if the Cubs win the division? They've shown no reason for us to be optimistic they can do anything in the postseason. If they are going to get waxed by the Braves or whomever in the first round, who really cares?

[UMFan83]

When’s Theo’s next radio interview? I want to hear about how he’s angry and if things don’t change there will be a big overhaul only for nothing to happen because no one on this team is held accountable

[Old Style]

This is going to end like the Bears in the 80's. One championship and years of underachieving until the inevitable return to suckitude.

[Schwarber Fan]

It seems like every time we get to the point where “major moves” are coming, they figure it out for a 5-7 game stretch and nothing changes.

No they suck, as long as we win 87 games or so we are winning the division

[Brian707]

Cubs have allowed 5 runs each of the last 5 games.

I am from the future.

 

 

Well done!

So Joe Maddon is Mike Ditka. Who is Dave Wannstedt?
