9/17 - Cubs (Wicks) vs Diamondbacks (Nelson): 6:10pm, ESPN

[chibears55]

This is their big opportunity to put up a solid crooked number, bases loaded no outs

[chibears55]

Lmao..  or not

[Irrelevant Dude]

Dammit.  Morel has to stop there

[Irrelevant Dude]

They catch everything out there

Lol, do we expect any less? 

[s2obed]

Finally a 1-2-3 inning. At least they’re chipping away I guess. Cubs should have about 5 by now though. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

I'll probably regret saying this, but the home plate umpire has been on his game with balls and strikes tonight.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Wasn't there time not too long ago where Wisdom was considered a solid defender at third?

Damn. These guys don’t miss anything out there. Basically have to hit it over the fence.

Something the Cubs don't do.

[Irrelevant Dude]

The difference between superhuman Bellinger and "pretty good" Bellinger is the difference between a good Cubs team and a "just ok" Cubs team.

[Derwood]

Their defense is nuts

[chibears55]

Wick recovered pretty good after that first inning,  and mostly not his fault.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Fall doesn't start until next week, but I think we can officially declare that the Summer of Tauchman has already ended.

[chibears55]

Different players same looking offense in September for this cubs team, they just go south once September begins.

[Derwood]

Nice swing, Wisdom

[s2obed]

Game.

maybe should have traded for a reliever or three. prob couldn’t afford it what with the piles of millions paid to trey mancini.

[Derwood]

I love the announcers trying to keep us from changing the channel. "This is far from over". Uh, no, it's horsefeathers over

[chibears55]

Ok, now I can go watch my recordings..

I'll check back for that fake 9th inning rally when the tying run comes to the plate..lol

 

It officially became a sad sports day watching the bears and cubs play today

Bullpen isn’t in great shape right now but it’s the offense that has us missing the playoffs as of right now.

Should be interesting to see what changes are made after this collapse is completed.
