9/11 - Cubs (Wicks) vs Rockies (Freeland): 7:40pm, Marquee

[Irrelevant Dude]

Not Bellinger's best day, but he's allowed a few of those.

[UMFan83]

Arizona might pass us before the weekend series even begins

[PJCubfan]

Wimp out 8th!

Our best chance to rally is probably right now with the middle of the order coming up

Why?

Because I think theyre only a couple solid players away from being a legit contending team and I think (hope), Hoyer will be allowed to go out and get those guys and not have to buy at the bargain store.

So, just looking forward to dump some garbage and add some good ballplayers

[UMFan83]

Seriously I'm so angry, this would be the worst loss of the season (yes I'm overreacting its only one of the worst losses)

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Cubs 3 outs away from pulling off some loser ass horsefeathers right here.

[We Got The Whole 9]

They have been getting a major helping of sinkers lately and they have a voracious appetite to swing. 

 

This is a loss. Call me a ninny all you want. The offense is just a freaking mess right now.

This team is a mess right now besides the starting pitching.

yeah can’t wait to see what trey mancini-esque talent he can reel in this offseason. 

[UMFan83]

PCA due up 4th to take his first MLB PA.  

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Dan Vogelbach refused to help us.

[UMFan83]

It's stretches like this that make me wish we had the rockies record and i could just not care.  This is brutal

We've hit 12 balls over 95 mph today. Big picture it's been a little discouraging, today it's a lot of hard hit balls not ending up as hits. Yes, I know I'm contradicting myself from like 4 minutes ago. Oh well. 

[Dfan25]

Smily againts Bryant seems like a bad matchup 

[UMFan83]

At least we won't lose any ground in the WC.  We'll lose ground to Arizona but our playoff cushion will remain 2.5

[PJCubfan]

The manager is the biggest mess.  You would think he could manage the bullpen after almost 4 years.  The hitting isn't there, but having the lead in the 7th should have worked out, but no!

This won't be the worst loss, that was the two ninth inning Ross losses against the Reds a couple weeks ago.  Of course they're all bad now!

[Dfan25]

Not getting a reliable pen arm at the deadline was a massive mistake . Didn’t protect themselves againts injury 

[PJCubfan]

On to the 9th!

[abuck1220]

dbacks did what you’re supposed to do when you’re a contending team playing a garbage team playing out the string 

[UMFan83]

Arizona wins, they'll be 1 GB the Cubs if we cant score

 

SF about to win, they'll be back to within 2.5 games after being 6 games out on Thursday morning.  

[Irrelevant Dude]

Is Smyly working his way into 7th/8th inning high leverage guy?

[chibears55]

Maybe PCA first AB will be a homer

I refuse to believe the manager only has a small effect on W/L after watching this season.  I'm just being an irrational meatball right now though so ignore me
