    Chapman makes me nervous, still. How is it that he's been dominant his entire career but now that he's with the Cubs, he's just another typical Cubs closer allowing multiple baserunners and giving up runs every outing?

    It doesn't help that Travis Wood is the MVP of every opposing team we face.

    Yeah, he was all over the place last night. What I don't get is why is it that the catcher can't seem to catch up to his fastball, yet the batters continue to foul off and get contact on his 103 mph heater? He was def wild, but the catcher should have had a couple of those that went to the backstop.

    Wonder how much pitching 3rd day in a row had to do with it. I'd sit him today and tomorrow.

    considering the cubs have their division and best record wrapped up, how about a lay down against my Giants? we are in a death battle with the dogturds and really can't afford to lose many games. thanks in advance.

    The Giants won't make it out of the first round if they make the playoffs.

    Shit. Sounds like another 2 weeks for Strop who now inured his groin. Im concerned if he will be ready for the playoffs. Carl Edwards your time is now!!!

    whatever. I want to avoid the WC at all costs. if there is a WC game, do we go cueto or bum? cueto is pitching better but bum is bum.

    Bryant
    Rizzo
    Arietta
    Lester
    Fowler

    And Addison Russell could very well be the MVP of this Cubs team.
