This team has a lot of problems with pitching How many 2 out runs the last couple of games? -
Figures Brach is more valuable with the bat than as a pitcher
-
Captain Clutch
-
So glad we gave Kimbrel a front row seat to watch the Cubs implode
-
Mediocre Josh Bell was a Cub killer. All star Josh bell is on a completely different level.
-
Well 1st place was fun. Sort of
-
I don’t even know why I bother turning these games on anymore
-
His contract matches Corey Crawford’s exactly now (1 yr 5m). I’m going to guess we hear Crawford is retiring Edit: but I guess that doesn’t address why he only took 1 year. Really not sure there. He was offered 2/10 by the islanders

Making the playoffs will be nice (even as a 6 to 8 seed), but I don't like it if it gives GarPax more job security and validation for their rebuild efforts. I don't see how they break into the elite group atop the Eastern Conference in the next few years. The only way is if Markkanen and LaVine both take the leap to legit superstar All-NBA status (which is doubtful). I think you would have to follow the Nets model right? Fun young group of scrappy players but no superstars, good enough to make the playoffs, financially flexible enough to quickly open up enough cap space for 2 max guys. Basically you just have to make your team appealing enough to be a viable team up spot. I don't think Chicago is in the top tier of NBA towns (and the FO's reputation around the league doesn't help), but I think its a strong enough market to be a spot where superstars would consider teaming up to play in. Tier 1: Miami, LAL, LAC, GS, Brooklyn, NY (based on market alone) Tier 2: Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Boston, Philly, Phoenix Tier 3: Orlando, Charlotte, New Orleans, San Antonio (Any other warm weather city) Tier 4: Most of the rest of the league Tier 5: Cleveland

Think he’s basically going to backup Wendell and Lauri or could we see lineups with all 3 of them at the same time
-
I think Hamels will get in once pitchers are announced but obviously won’t play. Pitchers were already announced online. No Cole Disappointed Hendricks injury probably cost him a spot. Don’t really know if this is true but he’s gotta be the best active starter to have never made an all star game
-
Hmm
-
KB made it as a reserve. I think he’s the only other Cub Also Vogelbach made it and with that somehow wins the Monty trade even though Monty got the last out of a World Series.
-
Think he spent all night thinking up that trash talk?
-
Jesus Thom is basically jamfan with regards to somehow being wrong about every topic
-
What Stan does best: reacquiring former Blackhawks
-
There are so many bad players on this team. How many current cubs could not make the 2016 team? 10?
-
6 road series losses in a row barring a 9th inning comeback. Len was preaching on Twitter today to enjoy this Cubs run ofnauccess but..I just can’t. I borderline dislike this team right now
-
Nice hitting with RISP the last 2 innings Cobs
-
Umps doing their best to ensure a Reds series win
-
I’m sorry I refuse to believe Descalso was ever an adequate major league hitter. Get him and Russell off the team tomorrow please. They are useless and Russell is a black stain on theo’s career
-
Remember when we went like 11 series in a row without a series loss? We’ve won just 3 of our last 14 series since then if we don’t come back today
-
To be infuriatingly mediocre apparently
-
Just over halfway through the season and JHey has had the 2nd best OPS of any season in his career (.821). His best season was his rookie year at .849

6/29 Cubs (Q) @ Reds (Castillo) 3:10 CDT, ABC 7

Just 5 more games until we finally get some time off. By the time this stretch is over, the Cubs will have had 2 off days in the last 7 weeks.
