  1. As has been the case, the offense does exactly enough to make sure Darvish gets a no decision.
  2. Remember how when we had Edwin Jackson in our rotation and it seemed like he was starting every other day even though we knew that wasn't possible? That's how I feel starting game threads. Except in this case, we are burning through the list as fast as it seems. Anyway, enjoy two more days with no Cubs losses! Go CUBS!!!
  3. He had his chance in the first 3 swing off. Vlad only hit one and Joc homered on his first swing. Had two chances to win and couldn’t do it.
  4. That was pretty bad from Marisnick. He went out of his way to hit Lucroy. He could have tried to go wide but with like 10 feet left he goes inside to drill Lucroy. And then he goes to check on Lucroy right after as if he wasn’t trying to blow him up and it wasn’t on purpose? horsefeathers that dude.
  5. Win this one and the Cubs are guaranteed 8 straight days without a loss. I mean, sure, they’ll only play 3 games in those 8 days but you’ve got to take what you can get.
  6. Wait, so the Cubs won and the Brewers lost and the Cardinals lost all in the same day? I didn't know that was allowed anymore.
  7. Russell in the lineup? Put this one in the loss column. Cubs started their bad stretch on June 10. They’ve played 24 games since then and are 9-15. Russell has started 16 of those games and the Cubs are 3-13. In the 8 games he hasn’t started, they’re 6-2. He also didn’t start any of the 3 games against the Cardinals the weekend before and the Cubs swept the series. The weekend before that when the Cards swept the Cubs, guess who started all three games?
  8. Didn't realize they'd been playing so well. 26-10 since starting 19-31.
  9. That’s what makes this so infuriating. If the Cubs were just playing decent, they’d be 2-3 games up. If they were playing well, they’d be 5-6. It’s not like the Brewers are on pace for 95 wins where if we were playing well, we’d be tied or a game back. The division is there for the taking and the Cubs won’t take it.
  10. And there goes the lead. Nice throw home, Albert.
  11. Hooray, another early lead to cough up!
  12. At least Russell isn’t in the lineup.
  13. We're now 10-22 when Russell starts, 35-21 when he doesn't.
  14. I think he threw 97 and 98 in his first outing. Not 100% on that though.
  15. But seriously. How stupid was that play. They had a meeting at the mound and played back so they could increase their chances at getting an out. They were clearly playing for extras. Then, on the FIRST horsefeathering PITCH, that [expletive] says horsefeathers it I’m throwing home. Basically gave the middle finger to the coaching staff.
  16. I mean, that’s all on Russell. They went over it in the meeting and they played back for a reason.
  17. Got 1426 off the red hat. 50 runs total.
  18. The Brewers and Cards suck just as much as we do.
  19. Greg Holland came in to close the game out for the DBacks last night against the Dodgers. He got the first two guys out. He then walked four straight guys to force in the tying run. DBacks brought in a reliever who walked Bellinger to end it.
  20. HEY GUYS IT'S OKAY BECAUSE AT LEAST THE BREWERS AND CARDINALS LOST.
  21. Nah we were playing just as bad right before the break in 2017 We were 5-20 going in to the break in 2016, I believe. Which is somehow worse than 2017 or even where we are so far this year. Your general point still stands but it was 5-15 right before the break.
  22. So glad Joe keeps trying to make Monty a thing. He’s useless right now.
