Cubs (Horton) vs Twins (Festa): 7/9/25, 6:40pm

[PeanutPunch33]

Feels like our starters lose guys a lot on 2 strike counts.  Can't get away with that against good teams.. 

[Cubbies1996]

Fully convinced Shaw makes that play at 3rd…

[Cubbies1996]

What a terrible start. Good lord. 

[UMFan83]

This is turning into the series from hell. 
 

less than 48 hours ago we had a 4 game lead, now we’re facing ending the night 1.5 up

This is reminiscent of last night 

[DYMNO]

Ok. Enough of this horsefeathers.

[JHBulls]

What the hell was Tucker doing? He just let the baseball get passed him.

[Cubbies1996]

Dansby hurting the team again!

[profisme]

Jesus Dansby. Play with a sense of urgency please. 

[Derwood]

This team needs the All Star Break. 8 of the players in the lineup play every facking day, so they're probably all exhausted

[PeanutPunch33]

I thought Cade turned a corner and it took all but 1 inning to realize... he's still a rookie 

[Cubbies1996]

Need Justin Steele back in the dugout to yell at these guys to wake up 

[chibears55]

Damn..

Not having Shaw at 3B and Happ in LF cost the first run.

Don't know why Tucker gave up on that flyball, definitely was catchable and nobody letting Dansby know to throw home.

 

These bats better be on today

In his defense the defense let him down twice, both balls should of been fielded

interesting, did not realize it took that long for him to blossom.  So I know Lou Brock is always considered the worst....what are some others that are worse. 

I was only six years old but the Bill Madlock trade was my first taste of what it is to be a Cubs' fan. My Cardinal's fan father rubbed that in for years.

They traded Madlock and Rob Sperring (I don't remember him) to the Giants for Bobby Murcer, Steve Ontiveros, and minor league pitcher Andy Muhlstock."

he has a 5+ era coming into tonight. 0 excuse for the cubs to look silly.

Cubs looking flat after the Cardinals series 

[profisme]

If this team is in first at the All-star break it will be a minor miracle.

Pretty sure that was sarcasm.  

[Derwood]

Are we gonna pull a Cardinals and get shoutout for a 3 game series?

[DYMNO]

Un-horsefeathers-believable

I can guarantee you that that is not going to happen. 

 

They scored 1 yesterday.

No because they scored last night

The Cubs coming to town is just what the Twins needed……
