Why the hell are you letting this clearly misguided child run pizza night. -
Probably not, given the weather this weekend and how late in the season it is. Looks like there might be a good shot at a 1-2 hour delay window and then they can get it in.

Hahaha wtf is a playoff manager? Jesus christ guys who managed in the playoffs last year and were still fired Holy Derwood.

But that's not what anyone was expecting; that's just what has happened. It could have happened earlier in the season. It could have been more spread out. Regardless of how it went down, it's playing out so that they're likely to end up more in line with the pre-season projections; baseball being baseball. It would have been unusual for them to just sputter and drastically underperform as a .500 team for the season, and it would be unusual for them to continue to keep playing out of their minds for another month. They're likely the team in between those performances, and that's what they're more likely to do for much of the next 4+ weeks than to go back to sucking or to keep kicking bonkers ass.

That's like suggesting that someone is looking to dump their perfectly serviceable RV because they passed 3 abandoned wrecks on the highway.

Presumably you're not going to be encouraging us to check the Pizza League forum about this: https://www.pizzatoday.com/pizzeria-rankings/2017-top-100-pizza-companies/ http://mentalfloss.com/article/65518/top-10-us-pizza-chains I'm glad to now know there is a pizzatoday.com.

Right, and now it's not. The position they are in now is more in line with where they were predicted/"expected" to be than how they were doing a month ago. Similar to how it would be unrealistic to think they just be a middling .500 team largely just because, assuming they will keep playing at this type of pace for the rest of the season is a stretch. As we were reminded so many times when the Cubs were farting in each other's faces, these things have a tendency to even out in the end.
-
And the Cubs should have run away with it while the opposite when the Cubs had the easy stretch and the Cardinals and Brewers had the tougher stretches. Baseball is baseball like that; what's more likely is the Cardinals' pace slows down despite them playing "easier" teams. It can't be overstated how they essentially have to keep winning like maniacs AND the Cubs have to really play flat or worse for the division to really be an issue.
-
Confusingly, 538 thinks the Cubs have the starting pitching advantage in this one.

Most pre-season projections had the Cardinals being competitive, so yearning for them to just be spinning out in neutral yet again was likely going to be wishful thinking regardless.
-
Are they more like a 90+ win team than a .500 win team? Sure. Are they closer to being a 110+ win team than a .500 team? Heck no. And this hot streak has been the latter, not the former.

Cubs trade bad backup catcher for another bad backup catcher

You are either being very self-aware or you’ve reached peak derwood -
Willson picking up the slack, otherwise...

[expletive], Nick Markakis and Kurt Suzuki hitting back to back in the middle of a lineup of a competitive team in 2018 is kinda nuts.
-
Just shy of 50 pitches in 2 innings. Nice.
-
Bote, you muffinhead.
-
Hah!

Cubs are messing with their brains, man.
-
GASP. They got the run in! Will they dare to get in....TWO?!?
-
Well, this inning is off to an intriguing start.
-
Haw-haw!
