  1. Ha! I agree man - just bad energy around the team. Fans are frustrated to say the least. Who knows….maybe today is the day they break out of their funk. Let’s hope, right! 👍
  2. Absolutely man! There are good times and low times for all sports teams. I am definitely double-minded when I watch the Cubs lol. With my grandson, I do my best to stay positive and teach him about the love of the game etc. (even though I walk off sometimes and mutter sweet nothings under my breath away from him because I’m pissed at their play). When I watch the game in my basement alone I tend to definitely be much more critical. I need to relax and just enjoy the game and the team. I’ll always have love for the Cubs - even though right now they’re driving me and many fans nuts 😑
  3. I think it’s awesome he’s excited and optimistic! Sports are great - especially if parents like you, use them as teaching opportunities. 👍 I remember watching many Cubs games with my dad - it was a great experience and I always look back on it and want to do the same with my grandson. Keep doing what you’re doing - your son will appreciate you sharing his excitement and memories. Cubs are in a tough go for now, but hopefully they snap out of it soon enough. Hope you enjoy this age and time with your son 👍
  4. Any fantasy baseball ⚾️ guys out there - seems like a solid strategy would be grab any and every pitcher that faces the Cubs and you should have league winners - Good lord 😂 They're in a dark place as a team.
  5. Harrison has shown absolutely ZERO respect for PCA lol - two ABs and straight four seamers right at him and PCA doesn’t know whether to horsefeathers or go blind. Sit down potty mouth 😂
  6. I’m done tonight - they’re an absolute embarrassment
  7. My take on Milwaukee: Extremely well coached (you see it in their decision making and discipline), they are extremely aggressive on the base paths, and play small ball better than any team in the league. They generate quite a few runs due to their aggressive play too. They have a front office that is great at seeking and developing players with 1/2 the payroll (I don’t have exact numbers, but I know the Cubs have a much higher payroll). Just a solid organization. I frickin hate it so much, but I look at the things I see. 🤷‍♂️
  8. You know what - at this point, forget Bregman. Nearly 50 games into the year and he’s been a nonfactor.
  9. When you’re slumping, you have to do something different. I’m assuming this one is a loss as well. It’s baseball, so it can turn around in one inning, but Milwaukee is playing like we were a couple weeks ago, and we are playing like straight horsefeathers. we shall see - Go Cubs!
  10. Call me crazy, but what’s wrong with playing a little small ball to move runners and get guys across? They rely on hitting for slug too much, and it’s equivalent to NBA teams like Boston, living and dying by the three. Just do some different horsefeathers instead of the same old same old
  11. Is that 7.5 over/under for just the Brewers runs, or combined? 🤦‍♂️
  12. Just bad vibes all around this game - leaving two on to start the game, Shota off, no hits through three innings….,just bad juju all around this team at the moment
  13. A loss like that causes fans to be pissy - I sure as hell was after the loss 🤷‍♂️
  14. I think he got pushed to Tuesday. Sproat looks to be the starter - according to ESPN
