Reds (Littell) vs Cubs (Imanaga): 8/5/25, 7:05pm

[DYMNO]

At least we locked up Jed. Yay.

I've luckily hit that point where I'm not even upset when the Cubs lose.  6-9 in their last 15, I guess the losses don't have as much impact on me.

Other teams go to the pen and immediately shut the Cubs down with a series of unknown relievers.

The Cubs go to the pen and immediately undo all the good work the starter did.

At least Jed got the extension though

Well at least Jed got his extension 

[JBears79]

Another great trade deadline pickup. 

This collapse to missing the playoffs is going to be historic and of course we just extended the moron who built it

Maybe everyone is getting their sucking out of the way at once and we're setting up for an impossible hot streak? I don't know. I'm reaching for something here

That’s what I’ve been hoping/waiting for.

[DYMNO]

I bet 1908’s house is SPOTLESS.

[BKHoo]

Even before the extension I was wondering what we have actually done on the field for him to earn it.

Mail it in, this team is horsefeathers cooked.

April bullpen (to say nothing of the 2024 bullpen) is back with a vengeance right now

Oh look, this inning hasn't ended yet.

[Cubbies1996]

Hope the fans boo this team off the field tonight. 0 pride. 0 fight. 

[DrCub]

Not sure what kind of odds I could get, but it might be worth looking into this team missing the playoffs if the payoff is good enough.

They scratch and clawed their way to barely beating a bad orioles team and lost 2/3 to the royals, it’s not surprising they’ll be trying to avoid another sweep vs a team with a respectable record

Ok we have officially reached “disaster, dumpster fire” zone

It's crazy to think, but the Brewers might soon be nearly out of reach.  4 games is do-able, but if they drop a few more games over the next week, does anyone really think the Cubs can make up 6 games in a month and a half?

[abuck1220]

pretty rare to have a trade deadline look this pathetically terrible this quickly. 

[abuck1220]

I mean if you thought (correctly) that hoyer did a horsefeathers job at the deadline, it looks considerably worse 4 days later!

4 games is not doable
