Drebin was right. Cubs struggle against guys who attach the in the strike zone. Tonight's obvs a must win.

I hate how even in the regular season pitching performances are all or nothing. If they give up more than 2 runs by the end of the 6th inning, they get yanked. You barely ever see a guy pitch 8 innings and give up 4 runs or 3 runs in 7 innings. I guess it has everything to do with the 100 pitch limit, but i feel like it's some kind of pussification of starting pitchers.

probably not too much of a shock for anyone, and it doesn't make it any less sad.

I really like how everyone seems to be okay getting a hit I the playoffs but do it during the regular season everyone is always pissy.

Should have sold tomorrow's game. Gonna be cold af and prices are tanking so it almost seems futile to sell. If Indians clinch tomorrow there might be some very drunk and upset cubs fans. More worried about that than I would have been if they'd won.

Fav part of the champagne parties are the ass hat employees of the team who have nothing to do with the game but find themselves in the clubhouse for the party and just kinda stand around smiling in their khakis with ill-fitting team apparel on over their business casual colored shirt.

Here's management's favorite pet, Chris Coghlan. Why is he here and not Tommy La Stella or another pitcher? Fn redundant.

Chapman, Strop and Monty are trustworthy at this time. Rondon usually is but isn't now. Grimm had gone up and down but is up right now. Travis wood would be a situational lefty right now. Overall good. They made their big trades this year to strengthen the pen since that was their biggest weakness early in the year.

Damn, that's a lot of relief pitchers who are good with Lackey coming out early.

I dunno, it was one of those starts where he needed to be dominant, and instead he got rattled because of the ump. The 2 runs he gave up that weren't because of Kris Bryant were because he lost his cool. Just how I saw it.

Oh my. I know the Cubs have the biking to rally but this one seems over. Feel bad for everyone who spent like 5k per ticket to be at the game.

Maybe it is Becsuse I don't know much about baseball but why does everyone seem to hate the announcers? Specifically Joe Buck. HE seems fine to me.

He gets a hard on for certain things and players. He's smarmy and doesn't add much insight to the broadcast. Basically he's the perfect announcer for a national audience.

He just comes across as a wang. There's something inherently inauthentic and disingenuous about him.
He also almost lost his job due to a hair plug addiction with is LOLerific. |

Poor Cubs
I do think they'll win tomorrow with Lester on the hill to send Wrigley home happy...but winning three straight against this Cleveland pitching is going to be quite some challenge. |
