We haven't yet gotten our 20 run game but we have scored 20 runs over our last 9 offensive innings. That's a start. -
How come all the other teams can get garbage time runs off of our pen but the Cubs get shut down?
-
No. Teams hitting poorly against a bad pitcher is something that has happened multiple times to every single team ever
-
Glad we don't need to watch the rest of the season after reading this thread.
-
When Lester comes back, sit him down for a couple of starts. He might just have a dead arm from pitching in the WBC. There is no reason for him to be this bad
-
Yeah if anything having 3 more years on his deal should have meant we give them less in return.
-
Lackey is going to end up in the playoff rotation isn't he
-
Bring back Brett Anderson Eddie Butler
-
Damn you Quintana
-
I'm starting to think there's a real possibility of starting Week 1. Good stuff, sucks for Glennon but whatever he can take his money and move on next year.

*throws at Sammy Sofa's head*

You missed a good Cubs one: And a couple of good Red Sox-Yankees ones: 2003 ALCS (down goes Zimmer): 2004 Varitek vs ARod:
-
I love how this take is so dumb that no one is bothering to rebuttal it. Not worth the effort
-
So weird. Sometimes I get so much madder at certain losses than the board seems to get and then other times everyone flips out over a loss and I'm like "meh" Anyways, gotta go 35-0-1 the rest of the year to match last year's record
-
Also this board is useless whenever anything of consequence happens to the Cubs.
-
Strop is doing that thing where he's either lock down or he gives up runs. Last 7 appearances he has 3 perfect innings and had given up 8 ER in the other 4 outings
-
0 on 2 outs into a 2 run inning so far. Blah
-
Not a great outing Strop
-
We have a contender for worst called pitch of the year
-
I'm awful at determining value. Sounded like $25m a year wasn't a ton for an ace caliber pitcher but obviously age is a factor
-
Did you know....Jake Arrieta currently has the 13th best qualified ERA in baseball?
-
He's gonna have to back off his demand for Kershaw money. If he wants 6 years $150m or something I'd consider it
-
One more Happ HR and we will have 6 guys with 20+ HRs
-
It sucks but I still think its mostly a fluke. In 2015 he was one of the most clutch players in baseball with a pretty good sample size. That said, its gotten to the point where I don't like when he comes up in key situations. Then all the logic in my head informs me that I'm an idiot and Kris is our best hitter but then he strikes out awkwardly like he did in that Toronto game. I dunno, maybe it is in his head at this point, but this is a guy that had a .923 OPS in the playoffs last year, had 4 hits in game 6 of the World Series, would have had the World Series winning HR in game 7 if the wind wasn't blowing in, hit a game tying 2 run HR in the 9th inning of NLDS Game 3. He's not a guy that cowers under the pressure of big games.
