Cubs (Boyd) vs Cardinals (McGreevy): 8/8/25, 7:15pm

[Derwood]

If they were getting shut down by an ace, I'd shrug and move on. But 9 LOB and constant guys on base with no runs is just inexcusable

It’s hot out and the Cubs suck. We’re all disoriented.

[Caesar]

Sign Tucker at a much lower price. Get rid of Happ and bring up Cassie to play left next year .Dansby is another dud I wish they could move and place Hoerner a short and find a bat for 2nd base next year

[nihilist]

Not saying da bears will be bad but I think they are so over hyped, basically the same team that shitted all over itself last year barring o-line. They keep impressing how smart Ben Johnson is, a lot of wow coordinators with extreme prospects went boom. Bears will suck this year, maybe playoffs next year. Look at the division

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Shut out by Mitchell McGreevy and the post-TDL Cardinals.

[nihilist]

Hoyer should be tarred and feathered for the deadline poof he made, symptomatic of a team that were as disappointed as the fans with what transpired

Mark my words, you can suck without being bad

Just think everyone on the BJ Messiah bs and I'm not at all convinced

No. We still remember the Rockies game. 

[JHBulls]

Fellas, it could have been a lot worse. Jed doesn’t get an extension and then where would we be?

Not looking at trying to get past any combo of Phillies/Padres/Dodgers/    

with this roster.

Sometimes all that matters is getting in and getting hot at the right time. That said, I have no faith in this team going on that kind of a heater for the rest of this season. 

[Stratos]

At this point just start Berti and Turner and get them some work in.

ATP, I am expecting the Cubs to play their way out of a WC spot. So the answer is no.

7.5 game cushion, so it would be quite a collapse still. i can't even imagine how ugly things will get if they blow the playoffs and then let tucker go

Yeah they have a much bigger cushion than 2023 but this season feel like that one. They will get in and lose the opening playoff series.  Ricketts will be happy,  Tucker won't be signed.  America will continue to be a banana republic.  Rinse repeat

Ricketts and Hoyer want to get their money's worth.

My inner "dumb sports fan" is creeping out and is mad about how blah Counsell is about everything. My brain knows that being a hot head like Piniella doesn't actually do anything, but outside of PCA, this team seems to have taken on the personality of Craig "white bread with water on the side for dipping" Counsell
