said yesterday I thought they’d still make the playoffs. I no longer do. that one is on the $177 mil man
-
Swanson like “going 0-6 with multiple extra inning failures and an error isn’t quite enough for me to horsefeathers this up.”
-
I wouldn’t expect anything other than a completely bizarre play so sure
-
either score 7 or 0 here so I can be done with this nonsense
-
if the cubs lose this, it will primarily be dansby swanson’s fault for those that think I put too much blame on ross
-
six more horsefeathers years of swanson
-
lol what is even going on with the 3b situation
-
Carroll gonna steal third in two seconds
-
man absolutely hating swanson was not something I anticipated two months ago.
-
red sox, yankees and mets have either a) had more recent success than the cubs b) are not as far into the current regime as the cubs and/or c) horsefeathers canning the people responsible for making the team suck. IF the cubs blow this (still leaning toward thinking they won’t), it seems insane to me that they’d give ross a FIFTH season to try to win ONE playoff game. I mean do the friggin royals or pirates let a manager stick around that long without winning anything??
-
that’s dumb. I want them to be good. I think this team SHOULD be good (ish). in fact, based on how most people here are acting like we should feel blessed that this isn’t a 77 win team, I apparently had higher expectations for this team going into the season than most. I thought they’d compete for the division. I think my “negativity” comes from the fact that I think it’s ridiculous that the cubs, with their huge payroll and gigantic market, should need to suck/be mediocre in like 50% of their seasons. I can’t believe people are fine with that.
-
because it’s not how the enlightened game threader behaves
-
you’re just mad because you want to be negative now like me but you can’t
-
everybody stayin positive in here right
-
I don’t think it’s true that I never post anything “positive,” but, for one, I think it’s more natural to vent about things going poorly in a game thread than it is to be like “yay” when something good happens. but obv the bigger reason for my “constant stream of negativity” is the fact that the cubs followed up three amazing seasons with five seasons of zero playoff wins and two especially dog horsefeathers seasons most recently. so yeah, my negative posts prob outweigh my positive ones. I don’t think ross and hoyer are very good at their jobs and their record reflects that. I still think they’ll make the playoffs this year if that counts as positive

three times they’ve failed to score a guy from 3rd with less than 2 outs. oops, that sounded negative. glad the fellas got some exercise today and it looks like the weather was nice!
-
lol so weird that I’m not feeling great about this team right now. completely unjustified, I know.
-
everybody competing for least reactionary game thread poster licking their chops right now…
-
up 0-2, three non competitive balls, hr.
-
please don't make four innings of blown opportunities matter...
-
bellinger looks human lately.
-
the sheer rockies-ness of these rockies has really kept the cubs in this series.
-
yeah I never said they were amazing and should never lose. it’s not like hysterical or something to say they’ve looked bad for the last six games. they have. are we really doing the “I’m the most level handed fan in the game thread” thing to the extent that you have to be like “no actually they looked GOOD tonight.”
-
not even remotely similar what-ifs. but the point is the cubs look very bad right now.
