It's not even a money thing. They are just a better organization, it's that simple.

 

Lost their top baseball man to the Mets and lost Counsell to the Cubs and they didn't skip a beat....lost their best player to the Giants in the off-season and are somehow better.

 

 

It's horsefeathers sickening but it's true, it's a better organization top to bottom.

 

 

BUT....BUT.....'they will lose early in the playoffs again, so it's all GOOD!!"

I am still pissed at Bud Selig for being the Brewers to the NL. 

I'm just tired of all things Wisconsin seeming having control over all thing Chicago. 

Ever since Giannis shoved Dunleavy and the Cubs surged ahead of the Brewers to win the 2017 NL Central its been all Wisconsin over Chicago to the point where kicking a game winning field goal in a meaningless game to improve to 5-12 is a high point for Chicago over Milwaukee the last 7 years or so.

No. First we’ve got to see if 4th, 3rd, 2nd, starter or opener are more his style. 

Yea, I guess we shouldn't expect TR to just eat 5-6:mil that still owed to him 🙄

[UMFan83]

Sure this was already mentioned but the great news is Porter Hodge gave up 4 ER in 0.1 IP at Iowa.

Jed Hoyer sitting in his office watching this…

[chibears55]

Yes this sucks but I still think if Hoyer brings in the expected upgrades, the Cubs will win the Division.  There's still that 5 game series in Chicago against the Brewers in mid August, and everything will look a whole lot better for the Cubs after that series.

He sucks too.

Good thing i stopped watching the game in the 3rd. 
 

Crazy how the Cubs continue to get lapped by a team that has a third of its payroll. Its almost as if its an issue with the FO….

[JHBulls]

Oh no, we might not be able to trade Ian Happ now. 😞

What happened?

[Tryptamine]

There's too many holes to address strictly through trade, they're going to have to bring some guys up and hope for the best.

Definitely don’t extend Hoyer…

Think I’m going to go write those negative online reviews I’ve been putting off.

Not sure if it’s been answered yet, he hit the baseball right onto his leg and exited the game.

Could be that IL stint weve been wanting and Caissie time 🤷‍♂️

Don't get your hopes up.  It's more likely the Cubs play short handed for a week while Happ avoids an IL stint.

[chibears55]

Couple good outings in a row, you know Jed ready to start him now

Yep, I’d love that. Give the prospect a chance.
