8/16 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Pirates (Musgrove) 6:05 WGN

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Today's fun fact: the last game thread I started was Hendricks @ Musgrove. Like anyone gives a horsefeathers.

 

Road Cubs trying to find a win:

 

Do they have a chance to turn this around?

Do yourselves a favor and don't watch. There's no point.

Name a lead you are comfortable with tomorrow night.

Name a lead you are comfortable with tomorrow night.

 

Double digits.

 

Obviously 5 going into the 8th and 4 going into the 9th isn't big enough.

[TMan92]

“In an interesting development, reliever Brandon Morrow threw batting practice Wednesday at the Cubs’ complex in Mesa, Ariz.”

 

He will fit right in if he pitched tomorrow.

I'm suddenly not mad that Pirates games are blacked out for me

Here are some things you can watch tonight that you might actually enjoy:

 

Rocko’s Modern Life movie

Mindhunter Season 2

Glow season 3

Bears pre-season game

Bill Walton doing color commentary for the White Sox for some reason

 

You can also go out. It’s a Friday night. See your friends. Drink some drinks.

 

Or you can watch the Cubs. God knows I will.

I'm drinking heavily for this one tonight.

So tired of watching KB hit grounders to short and do that little “aw shucks” move with his head.

[Schwarber Fan]

Cool, Musgrove looks unhittable.

[TMan92]

[Schwarber Fan]

Cards aren’t looking back. Brewers up as well. Hello 3rd place.

[Schwarber Fan]

The Pirates have lost 25 of 31 games since the all-star break.

 

The Cubs being shut down by them is the most alarming development of all the recent alarming developments.

[Michael Busch Light]

Glad to see Hendricks swing at ball 7 there.

Leadoff double stranded

Or the most predictable

[Bryants Disco Ball]

The Cubs are just as boring following on espn and not watching. But I will say they are awesome at getting a leadoff double and never moving the guy to third. Also, don't let the smart people fool you. We don't score much when we don't dong.

[Schwarber Fan]

Joe having a job beyond Sunday might seriously start to be in question.

 

Teams that begin to look THIS lifeless almost always force a managerial change.
