5/8 Last Place Cardinals @ Cubs - 6:40pm CT Marquee/670

[UMFan83]

The Cubs won a series but probably should have swept. The Cardinals have always sucked but now they suck on the baseball field to match their general suckiness. 

Miles Mikolas was good at one point but he doesn’t seem that good anymore. 
 

Blame me if Mikolas throws a 3 hit shutout and the Cubs get swept

Go Cubs!

That thread title, while accurate, is sure tempting fate.

While I’d prefer the Twins and Brewers to be better, I’m really enjoying watching the Cardinals and White Sox flail at the bottom of their divisions.

Beat the hell out of the Cards, please and thank you.

If they can't hit the Cardinal pitching staff then god help this offense the rest of the way. 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

No Amaya or Morel.

Iowa did play a DH Sat, then played yesterday, and then flew to Chicago. So rest for Morel may be warranted.

At least they moved Wisdom down and Bellinger up, that's something.

Excellent article on Willson returning, btw.

[UMFan83]

Based on what Twitter is saying during lineup introductions, expect heavy booing of Willson when he comes to the plate.

Who is the wholly unnecessary 3rd in the booth

Stro firing bullets in the 1st

It's bizarre to me that Gameday can't get the radio broadcast to be synced with the play graphic.  I'd understand if it was a pitch off or so, but it's 7-8 pitches (and therefore at least one hitter) behind at all times.

On MLB.tv they do a good job of syncing the radio broadcast with the video

2 more LOB for Seiya

I haven't messed with that, but in this case unfortunately it's not an option, since I'm in-market for STL and also don't have access to Bally Midwest

[Andy]

What do you know, an STL hit with RISP right after the Cubs went 0/1

[UMFan83]

Ugh couple of crappy singles and the cardinals lead

Those were rockets bro

Lol I'm so glad they're still trashing Bucknor

[champaignchris]

Buckner keeping this joker in the game. 

[javy knows my name]

Bucknor is an atrocity

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I would say Bucknor is concussed but this is his normal horsefeathers.

[Derwood]

Boog legit hates Girardi and I'm here for it

[Tryptamine]

It's perhaps possible that this offense kind of sucks
