  1. How is that possible? Didn't somebody just write that Story grounded into a DP to end the inning? Successfully challenged.
  2. Whoops, there's that pesky strawman yet again. Weird! Eh, I’m just trying to keep it in perspective instead of looking for the worst thing in everything It's not like anyone is digging trying to find obscure ways the Cubs are struggling. Literally only one guy who posts here doesn't enjoy this team.
  3. Rockies have guys on 1st and 3rd with 1 out in the top of the 9th, up 3-1.
  4. What a horsefeathering miracle. Now moiderize these bums, Baez.
  5. Whoops, there's that pesky strawman yet again. Weird!
  6. Is he really horsefeathering letting Caratini take this AB?
  7. If Joe was any kind of a kind, caring man, he's horsefeathering PH Rizzo RIGHT NOW.
  8. Quintana has maintained a steady 1.4+ WHIP all year to go along with the following monthly FIP/xFIP #'s: 4.25/4.33 4.66/4.33 4.72/4.26 5.21/5.31(!!!!) I do not get the idea that he's been decent since May, or solid all year. He's been decidedly mediocre all season. Yeah, his ONE start so far in August was good, but come on.
  9. Yeah, most of this for me is just in the moment venting over a really horsefeathering dumb series/game, but the flipside of that crossed over long ago into, "it's just a little airborne; it's still good!"-hilarity.
  10. Sure, but it's always better to not actually be throwing literal crap.
  11. It does repeatedly crack me up how we have people talking here like the problem with the Cubs' starters has been that they melt down 4-5 innings into their starts. The starting rotation is legit horsefeathering terrible, and they act like it's going to just somehow work itself out in less than 2 months. Hendricks is back to his normal self, Q is mostly fine and Yu is going to be back. So yeah they should be mostly fine and worked out. Quintana is the same unimpressive pitcher he's been all year (he was actually at his worst in July, but one start in August means he's suddenly figured it out, I guess), Darvish is in limbo, and Hendricks is sometimes good Hendricks. To just rattle all of that off like it's going to fall into place, or they'll be bailed out by a heavily worked bullpen, when it's already August 5th is more than a tad presumptive.
  12. A team that wins a bunch of close, low run games is a fraud, but the team that has to repeatedly come from behind to win way too often has figured out the recipe for playoff success. Hopefully nobody tells the other teams about bullpenning it.
  13. Why do you goobers act like "we'll just bullpen it" is some trump card lmao. If the starter gives up 5 runs in three innings, it's not gonna make much of a difference how good our bullpen might be.

  14. But hey, all they have to do is just get to the playoffs. It's not like they didn't look like a pile of garbage last year and barely beat the horrendously mismanaged Nats in a hideous, hideous serious. Yeah but in that first round series I think Hendricks in game 5 was the only start that wasn’t excellent. I guess maybe it would be the opposite and the offense carries the series Yeah, the starters were great until that last game. The bullpen was farting up a storm.
  15. Psh, they got 2018 Cole Hamels and all of the hopes and prayers of the fanbase that the other guys somehow get better. PROBLEM SOLVED. To be fair, I'm pretty sure 2018 Cole Hamels is our best starter now. But hey, all they have to do is just get to the playoffs. It's not like they didn't look like a pile of garbage last year and barely beat the horrendously mismanaged Nats in a hideous, hideous serious.
  16. They were 2-14 in their previous 16 games and a very poor offense was a big part of that. The Cubs starting pitching has statistically been one of the 2-3 worst staffs in the NL so it makes sense they get going against us. Psh, they got 2018 Cole Hamels and all of the hopes and prayers of the fanbase that the other guys somehow get better. PROBLEM SOLVED.
