August 17 - (un)Lovable Losers (Big John) v Buc-Os (Brault) - 12:30p on ABC 7

[BigSlick]

Cubs will win this one but it matters very little

[Cubswin11]

2-0 on the road is basically a RD game

[Schwarber Fan]

Ok, leave Chatwood in.

Etc. etc. etc.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I want them to lose this so bad

[Cubswin11]

Think it was fine trying to let Chatwood finish and the right move to go to Wick and having him ready first sign of trouble.

[Cubswin11]

We know, it’s been a very nice week for you.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

That was a really pathetic win. But alas, a win.

 

Also, I hate our horsefeathering offense.

[GaryWoods]

I didn't know they did that anymore.

[Schwarber Fan]

Win tomorrow, take a road series and go from there.

I know everyone is depressed but a win like this for what has been happening is pretty great. Still a ton of baseball left and we have a ton of guys on the IL.

Hard to find confidence we can beat the braves or dodgers even understanding the baseball crapshoot thing

I think vs the Braves, assuming relative health, it’s like a 47-53, 45-55 thing in the Braves favor. The Dodgers we will need some breaks.

[UMFan83]

Because I’m a masochist, imagine a world where we managed to close out those 2 games and are 5-4 on the trip, finally winning a road series and 67-56 with a 1.5 game lead over the Cardinals.

 

I’m a jerk I know

I definitely think we can win against the Braves presuming guys like Kimbrel and Cishek are healthy (won’t mention the other guy). Our starters are good enough to hold serve and maybe the offense will feed on the intensity of a playoffs and wake up (yeah I know, not exactly something that has happened the past few years).

 

With the dodgers it would definitely be a “baseball is a crapshoot” thing for us to win

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I'd first feel better if we could, like, dominate the Pirates for a game.

Just get another W. End the streak. It would be cool to see this team start a late heater and make the playoffs. As garbage as they have been, it is possible.

[UMFan83]

As great as it was to win today, 4 runs in 2 games against the garbage Pirates who started 2 guys with ERAs in the mid-4’s. I really cannot come up with a reasonable explanation why the Cubs go on the road and immediately lose the ability to hit

It’s still nice to pull out a game like that when one function of the team doesn’t perform great. Baseball is still gonna baseball from time to time of facing horsefeathers pitching and having horsefeathers results.
