why are we so horsefeathers bad at this

[JHBulls]

Didn’t Anthony Rizzo predict a Michael Busch walkoff?

Going on contact on a ground ball to third is just idiotic at this point in the game. 

I thought that initially, but JD brought it up as well.  You can't not go and risk them turning 2.

Worse spot to hit it at...

Now they need an actual hit to score

are you ever right about anything?

[BKHoo]

Busch struck out a few times there. 

[Derwood]

Closer went from Mitch Williams to Mariano Rivera real quick

This will suck, getting a guy on 3rd with no outs and dont score

[Derwood]

That's the fakest of fake rallies

[Nolansomebody]

RISP. Why did it have to be RISP?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Meh.  Oh well, doesn't really matter.

[Geographyhater8888]

Shame on me for thinking they could pull off a comeback. They can’t score 5 runs in back to back games.

Team just wets the bed in pressure situations 

[UMFan83]

Awful loss

[gflore34]

Would have been nice to win today, tick another number of that playoff clinching number.  Think they'll win tomorrow.

Why can’t it just be a loss? Why is everything so dramatic? What makes this an awful loss compared to any other loss? They are basically running out the season with the probability of finishing as the first WC team. This is just a game they lost. Not a huge deal.

I'd been okay if it was actual ML'er beating the Cubs - Diaz, Caminero - it's even more awful when it's someone like Fortes with the big blow.

[Papa Cub]

A loss happens - it was the WAY they lost today that frustrates me personally. Yes, the two solo shots were unsettling, but that happens with a hanger or meatball over the plate to some professional hitter, but the whole First and third no outs and they couldn’t produce ONE run to force extras?? That was beyond frustrating!! Come on fellas - ya gotta be better than that

Shaw was squeezing the sawdust out of the bat and Busch/Happ just got a diet of breaking stuff that they swung through

Because it’s a game thread and people react in the moment.

Concussion symptoms for Caissie.

Such a fun game to be at till the end.
