7/3 It’s the 3rd inning and the Cubs are ... winning?

[soccer10k]

It’s true, I swear.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Won’t last.

[Irrelevant Dude]

"Bryant gets back to 2nd. Got him!"

[CubinNY]

Terrible AB by Heyward there. Just awful.

[Schwarber Fan]

This is some kind of plummet.

[UMFan83]

It’s like there’s some force field that stops the cubs from scoring more after early in the game. Mostly that barrier is 1-2 runs but even in that 15-7 disaster the cubs got nothing after the 1st inning

 

Of course that force field is “being bad at hitting” but it’s odd

[BigSlick]

In less than a week I’ve transitioned from “actively rooting for the Cubs to win” to “I have completely accepted this team is dead and will sell its players off for parts and the best I can hope for is ok-ish parts”

[Bertz]

Okay, Bryant is clearly healthy, seal him in Carbonite until the Mets are sufficiently desperate

[Schwarber Fan]

Lol - so this is a “how can we find a new way to lose today” team now. Cool.

[abuck1220]

another good inning from the “stars.” enjoy your one year prove it deals fellas.

[TMan92]

Great ABs by Baez and Rizzo.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Really fell right into their trap, Anthony. You suck.

[abuck1220]

sub-.800 OPS 32 year old 1b with history of lower back problems, what’s not to like. gonna be a long line of teams wanting to pay scott hatteberg $200 mil i’m sure.

[Schwarber Fan]

This is really sad. Like, literally sad.

[CubinNY]

Just pathetic.

[Gilby]

Anthony might want to sign that 5/70 quick

[Schwarber Fan]

Castellanos homering off Kimbrel would about put the cherry on top of this.

[Schwarber Fan]

Lol @ that strike 3 to Wisdom. Why not?

[UMFan83]

2 runs or less in 14 of 19

4 runs or less in 17 of 19

 

4-15 in those 19 games

There shouldn’t even be a game thread tomorrow. Go be with your families, this team isn’t worth your time.

[UMFan83]

Second straight day the Reds brought in a reliever with an ERA over 5 in a one run game in the 9th, almost daring the putrid Cubs offense to do anything but they didn’t

[UMFan83]

[Derwood]

I haven’t watched a game this whole week (vacation) and I feel better for it

[d_money]

Anthony might want to sign that 5/70 quick

No way that deal is still on the table. Let’s re-sign him for the classic 3/$15M

[UMFan83]

4/25: Diamondbacks no hit the Braves (7 innings) on the road and went on to lose their next 24 road games

 

5/5: Orioles no hit the Mariners on the road and went on to lose their next 20 road games

 

6/24: Cubs no hit the Dodgers on the road and have lost 8 straight road games
