He’s trying to make up for his father being a Packer and I appreciate that. But yes that too!

Why did they change the tiebreaker rules to focus on head-to-head results instead of the traditional GD, GA, GF format? Just wondering if it has something to do with the new format and making ensuring that teams tied for 2nd and 3rd have their H2H decide who automatically advances and who has to be one of the top 8 3rd place teams. Just makes it more difficult to just look at the table to tell who needs to do what to advance. Now you have to remember who beat who etc while trying to figure it out. /rant

Geez, I had to turn off Switzerland vs Bosnia in the 73rd minute because of a work call. It was 0-0 at the time. I missed 5 goals and a red card during those 25ish minutes.

Wait why aren’t they mobbing each other in the middle of the field? Wait a non-walkoff win at Wrigley?!

I’m washing my hands of this team if they blow an 8-1 lead lol

Down to 2…

Even in a good offensive day they manage to squander 1st and 2nd, 0 outs and 1st and 3rd with 1 out situation

In the first 2 games of both of their series vs the Rockies the Cubs were 1-30 with RISP In the final games of each series they are 8-11 with RISP

This is the kind of game where you look at their season BA with RISP and wonder why it’s so high. 4-4 so far today with a sac fly after 3-39 stretch the last several games

Jason Kipnis on the postgame show (I think) apparently had some pretty damning things to say about the Cubs hitting preparation, Edward Cabrera asking to come out of the game with his hand cramp, lack of leadership in the clubhouse. The latter 2 seem harder to confirm as I don’t think he’s really around the team that much but the hitting stuff is interesting. The screenshot is one piece of it edit; looks like I was beaten by a minute lol

If it weren’t for 3 comebacks in the 9th inning the Cubs would be 1-12 during a stretch of home games against the Astros, A’s, Giants and Rockies

Omg Captain Pop Up does it again

7 runs scored the last 2 games and only 1 hit with RISP.

Oh no a runner in scoring position, time to ground out on the first pitch. This team is weird

RISP tonight: Cubs 0-7 Rockies 2-5 (with one of the outs scoring a run)
