Only extensions for guys we really don't want to extend.

TBF if Happ didn't mysteriously go off a cliff almost immediately after signing that deal it would've been fine

[JHBulls]

Whoa! Terrible news for Acuna Jr. A second ACL is just brutal.

[UMFan83]

I swear Amaya and Gomes are in a fierce competition to see who can suck more as a hitter and they keep one upping each other. 

[DYMNO]

Gomes is toast.

[s2obed]

Acuña made of glass damn .

[UMFan83]

Yet again the Cubs are on no hitter alert

[DYMNO]

Seiya looks slightly better the last couple days. I hope he's close to turning it around. 

[Rex Buckingham]

our starting pitchers deserve a much better lineup

[Derwood]

Fun fact: Luis Arraez has more hits SINCE BEING TRADED TO SAN DIEGO than Amaya/Gomes have combined FOR THE SEASON

It’s sad how many Cub hitters are in the same situation that we wonder when they will “turn it around”. 

[JHBulls]

Spoil alert: We can all turn off our TV’s. This one is over. 

[DYMNO]

HORSEFEATHERS

[Andy]

Teams are allowed to do that?

I mean Swanson hasn't been good this year, but they showed that Gray is mostly sweepers in that spot. That particular instance isn't a bat speed issue or whatever; that was just guessing wrong 

I guess I don’t really care that much about the semantics of why the $170 mil guy sucks so horsefeathers bad.

When was the last Cubs home run?  It was probably like 2 days ago, but it feels like they haven't hit one in 2 months (including with the wind howling out at Wrigley).

They mentioned earlier that it's been 6 games. Longest drought since 15

May 17

We’re going to be sellers at the deadline aren’t we?

It was the bottom of the 8th inning on May 17th by Miguel Amaya. The HR brought the Cubs to within 8 runs of the Pirates. 
 

The last non-garbage time HR hit was on May 16th by Ian Happ to cut the Pirates lead to 2-1 in a game the Cubs lost 5-4. 
 

Good times 

[Illiterate Scholar]

MLB Network can cut away now. No hitter over after 3.0 innings 

[UMFan83]

Omg this team is such a horsefeathers mess. ANOTHER out on the bases. 

Yes maybe he shouldn’t have been called out, but he was still horsefeathers picked off of 2nd base.  Unbelievable

[Rex Buckingham]

that's really not very far out of the baseline

[KCCub]

horsefeathers. Why do I punish myself and watch every game???

[Irrelevant Dude]

Eh, I get the argument, but he clearly went out of the baseline to avoid the tag.  Just more stupid baserunning.

[Rex Buckingham]

beans!
