This team would be in a better place right now if they had just kept David Ross.

He had some fire, and the Cubs had some fire as well.   This team looks listless.

Ehhh.. Ross had no fire and was a terrible manager when he actually had to manage his guys 

[Cubbies1996]

What a joke. 

[Andy]

Must be nice to be able to just hit a home run sometimes

[Eeyore]

That'll do it 

[PeanutPunch33]

2 weeks ago I wanted the Cubs to use Brasier more, now he's a doofus 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Cubs go to the pen and the opposing team immediately scores.  Like clockwork.

[DYMNO]

4 runs might as well be 10,000. G’nite. 

[chibears55]

This one is over....

#We’re still good. 

[Cubbies1996]

Need Justin Steele in the dugout to yell at these guys to wake up. Just a pathetic brand of baseball 

[Caesar]

This team isn’t in a slump it’s just doing exactly as it has the last 3 years . It’s what this offense is. Please stop with the Tucker finger excuse for his crap play. This team is what they are

[Derwood]

It's about time for abuck to show up

Well the season still has a ways to go.  But it sure looks like the real “leader” of the. Brewers - for years - has been Murphy,, and Counsell was just along for the ride.

[Cubbies1996]

Can’t wait for Counsell’s press conference where he looks befuddled and just says “we didn’t score enough”

With how much worse the Cards' lineup is against lefties than righties, and with Sonny Gray going Sunday, you realllly want to get this one in.  Win tonight and split the next two.

Cubs will be lucky to get A WIN this series the way their bats are at the moment. They are in a bad way right now. 
Im not being negative- just a realist. Milwaukee is hands down a better team than Chicago is this season. They dealt with injuries in their pitching staff early on too, but they have made adjustments throughout the year to address their needs, while the Cubs simply did not. 
 

I believe the division is an afterthought; making playoffs may be harder than some fans would like to admit too. They are spiraling and unraveling at the seams. Struggling on multiple fronts at the moment. Yes - baseball is a game of streaks, but I feel this is much more than a “bad streak.” 

[SparkMark1]

Usually when I call them sacks of crap, they start doing well.

 

So, c'mon you sacks of crap.

[PeanutPunch33]

PCA and Horton being developed into possible superstars is enough for me to think Counsell is a great manager.  The talent is just not good enough, especially in the rotation and bullpen 

[Neuby]

Were building for sustained success not for just  this year guys relax - Hoyer

[Geographyhater8888]

Bullpen can’t hold a deficit. What else is new. Offense wouldn’t have made it up anyways though

Thank you for stating the truth! Lol

no excuses- this team is beyond slumping; they’re doing what they did the last two seasons. The division is an afterthought, and making playoffs is slowly becoming more and more distant as well. Tucker isn’t worth what they’re saying he would be worth lol - PCA has no plate discipline and the team is coming apart piece by piece. It’s a shame. Frustrating to watch them

You’d think a GM would be on the verge of being fired for having 3 straight seasons where the team collapsed in August and September

[WhyCantWeWin]

Brasier is just another failed Jed bullpen piece. Thats nearly 20 mil wasted on 2 scrubs in Pressly and Brasier

[Neuby]

That cardinals trainer is smiling like a creeper .
