Of course that goofy [expletive] has to homer the nail in the coffin -
There is almost no way that isn't a 2 week DL stay at minimum right?
-
Season. You meant to say season
-
Cubs have not had a runner make it to 2B (besides the HR) since the first inning. Why am I wasting my time watching this garbage?
-
3rd straight leadoff hit. Let's see if this one can at least get to 2nd base
-
More like Go Royals
-
I think he's starting today just because it would've been 4 days off if he didn't I would have much rather Rizzo sat last night and has him in against a tough lefty and Schwarber play last night but whatever I'm not Joe
-
Man these Giants are good. Maybe they can break the odd year curse and win the Wor- THEYRE 45-70 DAMMIT
-
Joe seems to be frustrated lately. He's normally a "everything in fine, no worries" kind of guy but lately he's been pretty critical in pointing out issues the team is having
-
Clutchy McClutcherson clutches again
-
dammit to hell Cardinals winning big tonight, would be 2.5 games out if the Cubs dont get their heads out of their asses and MadBum tomorrow
-
I'm not shocked that he became a Cub and all the sudden started giving up 1st inning runs.
-
Worst trade deadline ever
-
I kindly request that Eloy be returned to the Chicago Cubs
-
Stop horsefeathering making errors Javy
-
Garza just gave up a grand slam. Twins up 7-4
-
Bryant with warning track power
-
Brewers might make us have to win to stay in 1st tonight, up 3-0 in the 3rd
-
The number of 1 year wonders for the Cardinals is crazy.

Gigantic Willy Style - The Willson Contreras Thread
UMFan83 replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think he's just swell -
I think he managed the bullpen beautifully in 2015 especially mixing in guys like Cahill and Richard and giving them useful roles. Not a ton of problem in 2016 except Chapman's WS usage. This year has been a little more head scratching but at the same time a lot of his guys have been inconsistent like Uehara, Grimm, Rondon and now Edwards. i think Maddon rightly or wrongly believes Edwards has the highest ceiling and the wanted to give him a chance to work through his recent issues. I do think this was one time too far though, particularly putting him in the game with little rope to work with. Oh well I love how you barely touch on his horrific bullpen management in the World Series. That horsefeathers nearly cost them the Series. Not trying to trivialize it, I thought it was obvious how horrible it was.

Willson a contender for the best of the bunch was unexpected
-
Looks like Willy has to hit at least 5-6 solo HRs a game to give us a shot
-
Ouch. Likely 2-4 homestand. Oh well...
