    Well, there's that. This team doesn't have it in them this October.

    Yup......non-existent with the bat. He goes up there, looks at strike one, then waves his bat at 2 pitches nowhere near the zone, walks back to the dugout and sits down. Also, if we don't plunk Turner for that buzz to Bryant and then the subsequent HBP to Rizzo, I'll be very disappointed. We've shown no ability to hit, no heart, and quite frankly the managerial moves have been very suspect. It's hard to see a way that we get back in this series.

    The bull pen ismt the problem here. The problem is we can't fucking hit.

    So true.  Bats have been not existent.  Can't win anything if you can't score.  2, 3, and 4 hitters have to step up.

    Batting .162 this postseason and 1/3 of our outs have come in the form of strikeouts.  I'm pretty sure I could strike Bryant and Baez out right now.

    There's a fucking meme going around saying "Can you throw a baseball 5 feet? Congrats, you can strike out a Cub!"

    The entire city feels different this year.  The buzz is certainly not on the same level as last year.  Spoiled last year I guess.  Hell, I live about 15 blocks south of Wrigley Field and there is a guy on my street that is flying the "L" today.......balls on this guy.

    love it! I cannot stand that fucking leprechaun Turner but he couldn't have picked a better guy to hit the GW off.

    Anything.  But man, am I really getting sick of the "check out my stupidly long beard" look.  It's the new total douchebag move.  Right up there with Von Dutch from about 10 years ago.

    Pathetic.  Walking a pitcher with bases loaded.  Probably would have been okay letting only one run in with the bases loaded like that though.

    Yup.  Stick a fork in them.  They're done.  We don't have 1 single bullpen arm worth a damn.

    I'm not sure we've seen play this poor since 2011/2012.  They flat out suck right now

    I'm not even concerned with the bullpen.

    Also, to Contreras and Baez:
    Don't fucking showboat when you're losing the game and haven't done shit in the entire playoffs.  This is how you get people to NOT like you.  You don't get to flip your bats and wag your fingers when you're about to go down 0-3 in the series.  Puig does - because he's performing and winning.

    ^^ THIS!  My thoughts exactly.  Act like you've fucking gotten a hit before and quit show-boating, especially when you're getting your ass kicked, down 2 games to 0 (at the time). Contreras stood there and posed like he hit the ball 500 feet on a single early in the game last night. WTF. And Puig can kiss my ass with his antics.  Yeah, he's delivering, but he still looks like a jack ass with his bat licking, self-created curtain calls, etc.  Such a loser.
