FINE. I SEE HOW IT IS. *Jerks it furiously to the most depraved horsefeathers imaginable* -
If Willson dongs here I will give up porn.
-
YES. Eat horsefeathers, Scooter.

It was only a few months ago that no lead felt insurmountable. Cubs down 6 in the 5th inning... no problem! Those days were so glorious.
-
Deadspin refusing to call that garbage show anything but All Takes Matter is one of their few shining moments in recent years.

I wish I could drown my sorrows in taco-ghetti: http://assets.kraftfoods.com/recipe_images/opendeploy/136564_640x428.jpg

Ridiculously, it's still just 4 runs with plenty of time against the horsefeathering Brewers, yet it stupidly feels nigh-impossible.
-
You horsefeathering [expletive]; they're just screaming over Richard coming in. I was expecting to see Bryant get his teeth caved in by a line drive or something.
-
Uh, my feed is behind. Dare I ask?
-
Stupid greedy seal.
-
Nice.
-
Oh good, I was enjoying this game too much.
-
Why is Heyward like this. It's an affront to nature.
-
Zobrist, you idiot.

My God, I desperately need a catharsis dong.

We're 6-3 in our last 9 games and a good chunk of those were against good teams and people keep acting really weird because a pitcher struggled in the first inning which happens a lot. Some people aren't really cut out for this sport. i think he was making fun of the cubs Yup. Along the lines of what rocket said, it's felt like for a while now that if the Cubs fall behind early then they're basically done for the rest of the game. I miss the team that scoffed at opposing team leads.

Air out the cheese funk.

Some people aren't really cut out for this sport. It's frustrating to watch a bad game, but even more frustrating to watch a boring bad game right after a boring bad game the night before. I know they're a very good team, but I'd enjoy a romping of a shitty team when it's a lazy weekend afternoon and I can actually watch the game.

Alright, how about playing like being down 2 runs to horsefeathering Milwaukee with 8 innings to go isn't some crazy, insurmountable lead?
-
Pretty sure you say this about every park.
-
I missed the start; why's everyone fuming over the top of the first?
-
Come on; 5 games is pretty standard suspension boilerplate.
-
i think that's more a byproduct of them being smart enough to generally go with the shotgun/numbers approach and gamble on a lot of guys rather than investing disproportionately and ill-advisedly in "surer" things. there's gonna be some mottes, sorianos, etc. when they do that but, as you allude to, it hasn't really hurt us. it's even easier to do that when you have a couple of guys like rondon and strop (who were originally acquired by pretty much that same philosophy) at the top. Yeah, that's a better way of putting it; constructing a bullpen is inherently such a gamble because you're dealing with a such a motley selection of talent, and it just feels like they've been bit by bad luck at least somewhat more than what's expected or hoped for.
-
The FO is kinda meh when it comes to the whole bullpen thing. I have no doubt the stats will show it's been fine more often than not, but it just feels like the Cubs end up with a LOT of chump relievers.
