  1. brian mccann is a big dumb racist red ass
  2. It kind of bothers me that, should the Cubs hang on, they had to have 3 herculean come back from behind efforts to just break even on a super important homestand
  3. They appear to have a contract with Jeff Garlin to appear in 20 broadcasts a season
  4. I feel like this game is setting up nicely for a backbreaking home run given up at the top of the 9th and then a really miserable extra innings game
  5. ahahahahahahhahahahahahahaah come the horsefeathers on man. this isn't even surprising. stop sticking to the script
  6. Both Heyward and Caratini are having themselves good seasons.
  7. Zach Zaidman really needs to stop sounding so excited when its a routine groundball
  8. And now the Cubs are within 1. I feel nothing, however.
  9. Chatwood starting an inning off with a walk where none of the balls were particularly close to the plate????? When has that ever happened?
  10. cut daniel descalso now. don't wait until after the game, it'll be too late by then. cut him. clear out his locker, send him on a plane, get him out, he's infecting all of us
  11. i think 2 reasons: 1 - they thought his early season stuff in long relief was encouraging and could produce ok enough results against a guy who has been shelled in his first 2 MLB starts. Remember when we used to start guys like Adam Warren and Trevor Cahill and inexplicably it worked? It always seemed to work back then just as it always seems to fail now. 2 - They are in the middle of their most difficult and strenuous stretch of the season and they want to take a chance and help keep the veteran arms like Lester and Cole (and I guess Yu) rested. Of course this goes completely against their "urgency starts in april" mantra they went on and on about in the spring, and even if this was the plan it should have been thrown out the window when Hendricks went on the DL, but who knows what the horsefeathers the FO and manager is doing these days I'm gonna be honest, I only remember Adam Warren and Trevor Cahill sucking
  12. Carlos Gonzalez vs. a guy with an 8.59 ERA is some serious "unstoppable force meets an immovable object" situation
  13. It's true, its somewhat unfair to Chatwood that the ball is juiced and balls that wouldn't otherwise get out, are getting out. However, somehow, we continue to struggle to score at all, so it kinda doesn't let anyone else off the hook
  14. This team will turn me into Sammy Sofa
  15. Hear me out: have the Cubs considered making offerings to the Red God, starting with perhaps Daniel Descalso and Brad Brach?
  16. I feel like we lose 80% of the games we start with a lead off homer so I'm not even happy You can't make me happy
  17. It's not fair to hate someone for being bad at baseball, but I hate, I absolutely despise Daniel Descalso. I know the poor little man is trying his hardest, and given he gets so few at-bats he isn't primarily responsible for any struggles, but the dogged usage of him by Maddon like he's his favorite little toy reminds me of a former manager it reminds me of Dusty Baker
  18. I still don't believe there is any such skill as "hitting with RISP" I just think its mostly bad luck Maybe a little bit of choke. There's certainly no special approach that can change it. Just being better hitters.
  19. the 2019 cubs have somehow lost 45 games this season that have all looked exactly like this game. i dont know how they've done it, but they've done it
