I almost hope the Cubs don’t make it. I don’t want to hear any meatball fans defending Theo, Joe or the players with cries of “five straight playoff appearances!”

You can be disappointed in how this season is going, but 5 straight playoff appearances is objectively a big horsefeathering deal.

It’s cool. Deep down I know I’ll probably be excited if/when we clinch a spot. But I also feel like it maybe distracts from the fact that we have some very big problems with this roster.

 

I don’t know if I’m making sense. I’m drunk. Domingo Divertido.

I hope the Cubs make it, too. But hope isn't going to actually make it happen.

 

Yeah but it probably will. The Cubs will win 3-4 in a row soon and everyone will get excited again only for them to lose 3-4 in a row and everyone will get doom and gloom again. Been happening all year.

I could see that. I also don't think that type of scenario will get us in the playoffs. If they want to win 10 straight starting with San Diego and then Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, then we are cooking.

At least....St. Louis won.

No. No. This is never right.

 

I'm sorry. I was just emotional with the Brewers and let things get away from me a little bit. I continue to work on my Brewers rage but sometimes I relapse. Well, all the time. Speaking of that, horsefeathers our team for not being able to end their season when they had two chances in one week to do so.

Did Hultzen look as good as his line would indicate?

 

He technically struck out Yelich, he got hit on the hand but swung at it. Pitch deflected onto umps knee so he was too disoriented to call for an appeal or anything.

 

Got a boardline call on a high curve to Perez. His one hit was to Gamel which no Cub pitcher can retire, so no fault there.

 

Already leaped Holland on the lefty pecking order.

10 straight? Baby you got yourself a stew

 

if we win 10 straight, we would inevitably lose the WC game as streaky as we are. I'd prefer 5 W, 3L, 4W, 3L 2W, 2l to get into the playoffs. But I'm not certain they are capable of a 2 game streak of any kind

Low bar there.

That would be fine.........but the Cubs are going to miss the playoffs going with your preference, right?

No game thread yet so...

 

 

Cubs are getting so horsefeathering weird about injuries. Stressing that Contreras taking 2 games off was planned and now he’s not in the lineup for a 3rd straight game so something is obviously up.
