Defense was to blame for that but Kyle still allowed a HR, 2B, 2 singles and a walk in his first inning since getting paid

I can at least feel good in knowing that the franchise deserves this

I'd say it's more likelly they're in first insstead of 6 games back Just like that the Brewers are up 3-0 in the first inning

4th game of the season is the record for earliest in a season I am hate watching the Cubs.

If its going to happen its going to be early enough in the season to believe that a managerial change can salvage the season. April is too early. I'm thinking late May. Lets go May 27th, the day after getting swept at home by the Reds to bring the Cubs record to 24-28.

Good on you for keeping this up instead of just deleting the post in shame

I’m telling you Theo was replaced by a lookalike in July 2017. Since then: -Traded our last 2 legit prospects for Jose Quintana. Defensible trade but even before he pitched many said it was a lot to give up -Offseason of doom in 2017-2018. Cishek is solid but Morrow, Darvish and Chatwood are all disasters so far. Maybe bad luck on Darvish’s part but he’s had an injury history and was just coming off a historically disastrous World Series performance. I wanted Yu and I stand by the logic of it but it was always a bit of a gamble. Which is fine unless you are also gambling on Chatwood becoming a serviceable starter outside of Coors and Morrow to stay healthy for like the first time in his career. 0-3 -tendering a contract to Russell -trading for homophobe -Randomly taking on a $5m a year contract for a bad reliever -Picking up Hamels $20m option based on a handful of great starts as a Cub -Doing those last 2 knowing that you will have absolutely no budget in 18-19 offseason and some glaring areas that need improvement and 2 division rivals that keep improving -Pitching coach and hitting coach roulette. Can’t seem to find someone that can stick I know I’m just being negative and Theo/Jed is an all time legend in my book for getting us a World Series but it really does seem like everything he has done of late has failed

Red Hot Chili Peppers gifs next?

What a fun opening weekend

I can’t wait for the pitching to get going only for the offense to go into an extended slump.

Great now we get to watch more high leverage bullpen failures in this one

I hate that but it also clinched me 1st and 2nd place in my bracket pool so I can live with it

I think Theo secretly left the organization in June 2017 and replaced him with a lookalike.

Lol Monty

I don’t want to overreact to the first 3 games but I don’t think I’m going to like this team very much

2017 offseason’d

We deserved a BABIP inning

Guess we should have scored more when we had 1st and 2nd with 0 outs and top of the order coming up

I know what we need now, more walks!

Fire the pitching coach!

Yeah 100% umps fault but all our pitchers still horsefeathering nibble and lack the ability to put hitters away when ahead in the count. I don’t know why I thought that would randomly change this year

Thanks ump. Cost us 4 runs with your shitty ass zone

I forgot that our starters all throw like a billion pitches and only go 6 innings max. Good thing we have a good deep bullpen. Oh wait

These umps have been horsefeathering terrible all series

That’s what happens when you stop taking the St Louis pixie dust
