7-5-21 Phillies @ Cubs 8:05P on Marquee

Could be overuse but interesting that it started falling apart when sticky tack was banned. Perhaps the pitching lab just just a lab where they developed sticky substances. Sucks if true because it was the most innovative thing they seemed to be doing while the farm system languished and the star hitters all regressed into a bottom tier offense. Yes yes World Series thank you and all that but what is this org doing well right now? I know there is promise in the minors but it’s not exactly a top 15 system at this point is it? Sorry I’m being overly negative and maybe unfair I just see nothing but negatives within the cubs right now 5 years ago my faith in the cubs was at an all-time high. right now it's at an all-time low. i don't have faith in ownership or the front office. i think the cubs are going to be irrelevant for a long time. we have to suffer through another rebuild just to hope that a) we hit on prospects and b)ownership is willing to spend when we get close to competitive. the players are bad and unlikable. the front office is dumb. ownership is straight up evil. len is gone. it's just all terrible. treeman got out at the right time -
Ohtani is hitting .280 with a slugging percentage over .700. He just his #31 450+ feet

is this a serious comparison? To Yelich? Not apples to apples; just that it looks like they potentially got a legit star-quality player for a low cost. Adames is mashing with Milwaukee. Went 3-3 with another HR tonight. saying he's a star because of like 40 games probably isn't smart. saying he'll be anything close to what they got with yelich is dumb. we can trash the cubs and admit they are a trainwreck without sucking off the brewers

7.5 and out of the race in an instant after that no hitter, baseball is crazy
-
is their pitching really young?

i wonder what scandals the bulls and bears have up their sleeves in chicago's quest to have the most despicable organizations

Shall I compile a list of teams that have overcome 6 game deficits with half the season to go? I mean I'm not saying the Cubs are a good team primed to crawl back to the division lead, but 6 games over 81 games with the easiest remaining schedule in baseball is not as daunting as you seem to be implying it is. it's the end because it likely means we're going to be selling

Fitting that this era of cubs baseball is ended by the brewers

peralta, woodruff, and burnes should put this at 4 gb, if not 6. ptr is lovin it

Julianna's been mis-be-haviiinnn

I mean, they'll probably get lonzo ball and make the playoffs with 2 fun scorers. It will be more fun than what we've been seeing

the hendricks trade has surpassed the arrieta trade for me -
How so? Toronto moved up from 7... they were 4 games worse than the Bulls i goofed

how many trades in cubs history are better than the trade for kyle hendricks? he is fascinating -
So that last win cost them the number 4 overall pick

i wonder if ben simmons could become available. he's kind of a mess but he'd be an amazing fit on the bulls current roster
-
this man just passed on a wide open layup
-
i don't understand why ben simmons seems so content to be a non-factor
-
Schwarber has 18 taters
-
gleyber is not so good. what a clutch trade that was for the cubs.

6/19 Ross’ disastrous lineup

it never made sense to give arrieta that money. It's even worse when you consider how little.we had to spend.
