Mine was first!

[UMFan83]

10 total bases in 3 AB now for Willson

[UMFan83]

The Cubs are now 2 for their last 59 with RISP, with neither hit driving in a run

 

Edit: 2-60 now. Runner on second gets thrown out trying to advance to 3rd and the next hitter immediately gets a hit lol

[Bertz]

Really encouraging signs from Kyle. Can't put too much stock into one or two spots as we've seen from him, but he's rarely had both the swing and miss and the groundballs working. Hopefully he just needed the rest.

[UMFan83]

And the Cubs have almost completely blown a 5 run lead in like 10 minutes

[Irrelevant Dude]

Good thing we made room for Chris Martin.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

There is a rumor on the internet that the cubs suck

[cl smooth]

This team horsefeathering sucks so much ass

[Andy]

Good lord these guys are terrible.

[Andy]

If this dreck was the best Jed could do then he definitely should've abandoned all pretense and not pretended to try with the Seiya and Stroman signings

[Irrelevant Dude]

Plenty of good seats are still available for this homestand!

After taking a 5-0 lead thru 5 innings, the Cubs sent 12 batters to the plate in the next 4 innings.

Why do you guys get so worked up over these individual Cubs games during a long terrible season? Are you guys placing bets/money on these games or something?

 

Go watch Netflix or some other streaming service instead...

Another loss, but there were some good highlights from the game:

[CubinNY]

I went to sleep with them leading 5-2. Wake up to this horsefeathers.

It could have been worse. You could have been awake for it.

highly doubt anyone is getting legitimately worked up over the games. Does it really matter if a 23-37 team wins or loses any individual game? Of course not, but of course having a 5 run lead and giving up 12 unanswered runs is going to cause discussion on a forum that (at least initially) was designed to discuss the Cubs.

 

I'm pretty apathetic about the cubs right now and I'd imagine I'm not alone. I occasionally have the games on because my kids want to watch but even their interest in waning.

Are we really having a discussion here about losing that lead? It just seems like people are angry and venting (which is fine I guess). I would be upset during a season where I thought the Cubs legitimately had a chance to win the division and/or make it to the postseason, but that ain't this year.

 

The Cubs are bad, and I'm trying to take a "glass half-full" approach by telling people about the draft lottery and the chance to get the #1 pick in next year's draft and maybe see Caleb Kilian and some young prospects in the second half. But they are going to lose so many games before we get there and this season will be painful to watch if you're truly invested in every game.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I'm about as anti-game thread venting and pro-having a sense of (realistic) optimism as anyone here, but at this point I don't think it's worth getting worked up about people muttering about a terrible performance that extends their losing streak to 8, after an offseason in which they did not make dramatic changes to give immediate hope the team will be competitive. I still believe this is a decent(75-80 wins) team that has been dealt a bad hand with 1 run luck and injuries(IIRC there's only like 2 teams that have lost more value to injuries this year), and as such they stand to make a pretty substantial jump with the right improvements and graduations. But I also was more than happy to change the channel to avoid excess disgust while yesterday's lead went up in smoke, so as long as folks don't carry on over a zillion posts or take that game thread attitude into an otherwise objective discussion in other forums, I think that venting can be healthy for those who process it that way.

The team does suck so much ass and are terrible and all that stuff you quoted. I doubt anyone is losing sleep or feeling any real anger about it.
