well expectations used to be higher than getting excited about a 5 game win streak against bottom feeders following a 5 game losing streak i'm just sick of the cubs constantly being worse than they should be For the millionth time, they've won 292 games the last three years, been to three straight NLCS, and won the World Series. What the horsefeathers are you talking about? well we've already discussed how the 2017 season was oddly disappointing, and how we were supposed to be great again this season, so we don't really need to do that again. you're lying if you say things haven't been on a downward trend since the world series, but i understand that there should be more leeway since they've accomplished so much but really you guys should at least admit that bitching about game thread bitching is just a different (less annoying) way of venting frustration over the cubs losing games

this fake confidence just comes across as desperate now It’s not confidence, it’s just mostly common sense knowing this is a good team. The constant complaining and doom boonering isn’t a great look on you either. Did u even enjoy just winning 5 in a row or were u just waiting for the first loss to make complaints? well expectations used to be higher than getting excited about a 5 game win streak against bottom feeders following a 5 game losing streak i'm just sick of the cubs constantly being worse than they should be

this fake confidence just comes across as desperate now You being self-aware doesn’t make the tantrums with every loss easier to read. it's the game thread and the cubs are disappointing as hell, go get a haircut without tipping if you don't like it
-
Probably early September after they clinched, it will be great. this fake confidence just comes across as desperate now
-
it's okay they'll score like an extra 7 garbage time runs in a blowout that will be just as fun as that
-
javy is just so dumb
-
i think it would still be just as fun if they stayed as good as we thought they would
-
well they're both at 5+ right now and if they both have a 4+ era from this point forward, they have no chance at 93 wins They're on pace for 92 wins. You're right 94 would be out of the question lol. well they're going to be on pace for about 89-90 if they lose this, and the only reason the rotation hasn't been a complete disaster is because of the flukey production from lester and chatwood.

We’ll only win 93 games if they remain 4+ era pitchers well they're both at 5+ right now and if they both have a 4+ era from this point forward, they have no chance at 93 wins
-
we are somewhat doomed if darvish and q don't turn it around
-
yay the cubs are butt yet again
-
happ after joe tells him he's not in the lineup
-
still waiting for the garbage ass brewers to start losing
-
they're in the AL so i shouldn't care, but t's still annoying looking at the ridiculous numbers for verlander/cole/morton

not quite castrowhew.gif, but close

it seems like managers have a problem pulling good relievers in the middle of innings during "get some work" appearances.
-
that wasn't even close
-
you guessed it
-
mookie betts has a 1.250 ops with great defense in right and guess who is still ahead of him in war

This is the thread where we talk about how awesome Kris Bryant is

16% k-rate, wtf -
it's funny how his joke was really just him telling everyone he knew what the word consecutive meant

Marlins(Chen) @ Just Cubs(Quintana)

i usually hate the "superstar" debates, but i don't know how can possibly say that bryant isn't one of those. he has elite production, plays for a massively popular team, and he's basically captain america off the field. -
We’re gonna win like 12 of our next 18 and average like 7 runs a game in that span. It’s gonna be awesome. i know the cubs suck but we can still dream bigger than 12-6

imagine javy taking a walk like that when only needing a triple for the cycle
