They're not going to score again are they?

They owe us three more 

[UMFan83]

Can we just fast forward to the part where Neris has the bases loaded with 1 out protecting a 2 run lead in the 9th?

[chibears55]

Cubs got one more homerun coming from them, hopefully with guys on base.

[Tryptamine]

Cubs making Benintendi look like an MVP

[JHBulls]

Imagine leading 7-0 and a few innings later looking up and it’s 7-6.

[JBears79]

cant ever be easy. not even against a historically bad team,

[Derwood]

[WhyCantWeWin]

Smyly had been getting pretty lucky, feels like hes been used a lot recently too

[Tryptamine]

This would easily be the worst loss of the season by any team, perhaps of the decade given how historically awful the White Sox are.

If you followed the 2024 Cubs with any degree of regularity, I doubt you’d be THAT shocked lol

[UMFan83]

It seems like a certainty that the Cubs will not score again and that single run has to hold up for 6 more outs. Prove me wrong Cubs

[profisme]

Please tell me Hodge is coming back out for the 8th.

Fun Fact

On June 4, the White Sox led the Cubs 5-0 after 4 innings. Their bullpen was bad and the Cubs walked it off in the bottom of the ninth.

Fun Fact II

On June 5, the White Sox 5-1 after 4 innings. Their bullpen was bad and the Cubs walked it off in the bottom of the ninth.

 

------------------------

 

Tonight, the Cubs led 7-0 after 3 innings. Will their bullpen be bad?  Will they return the favor? Does it really matter?

[mfcubs22]

Can someone remind the Cubs that this is the worst bullpen in the league and they should be pummeling it?

[Tryptamine]

Yup, even luck is against the Cubs. Busch smokes a ball into a double play.

[UMFan83]

Lmao rally immediately killed 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Of course

[UMFan83]

I was just about to ask if Tauchman should have gotten to 3rd in Happ’s single and suddenly he’s doubled off 2B

[Eeyore]

Was Tauchman pinch hitting for Amaya?

[UMFan83]

Obviously not Tauchman’s fault at all but 3 outs on the bases tonight is no bueno

[Tryptamine]

It's inevitable now. 

[UMFan83]

You can already see the amazing story being written. New manager in their 1st game, down 7-0 early against their arch rival, no reason to think they could come back or that they would even care about trying to come back in a season that’s been over for months.

I’ve spent many mornings this year having my regular 5 am cry while watching the Cubs. 

[Tryptamine]

It begins
