    We're not making the playoffs. Mark my words. This last month is just fucking sad.

    We'll lose tomorrow night for certain, because I'm going to the game. I've seen a dozen Cubs games at PNC and they've only ever won once.

    Have some faith. .700 baseball is hard to maintain all year.

    I do like listening to the hockey announcer doing play by play.

    Remember when he said he wanted a 7 yr deal since "aces" get 7 yr deals?

    Well Jake, you won't be getting shit from the Cubs when your deal is up.

    It's not even the all star break. There will be moves made to shore up the bull pen. The starters will settle down.

    Yes I agree..
    There are moves to make..
    Especially since our bullpen is now garbage.

    Obviously there are enormous bullpen issues right now. Couple that with the starters not performing well and defensive woes and you begin to affect team chemistry.

    The real tanking began when Fowler went down. They have been awful since that point. Fowler gets back in there and things should start getting better. If he is performing in that leadoff spot, it frees up LaStella for the bench...not leadoff. Hopefully a trade or two will then finally solidify that bullpen.

    So a few days rest is going to turn Arietta back in to Superman?
    A few days rest is going to turn our bullpen back to average? Instead of garbage?

    Damn, I hope so.

    A few days rest is going to turn Heyward into a $184M player?

    Here's hoping the break gets them back on track for a big 2nd half. As for j hey i think keeping him in the 6 hole will help. Pitching is what has me nervous.

    He's hit a lot better since being moved down. Small sample set of 4 games, but it's a good sign so far.
    Pitching is going to make or break us. I'm just not convinced Lackey & Hammel will hold up all season. I'm good with the other three although I suspect something is up with Lester health/injury wise. He just came off one of the best months in his career to throwing every ball in the dirt for 2 games straight + the ASG. The bullpen, well...

    Yeah i fear 2nd half Hammel is here. Pretty upset it appears lined up he will pitch next Fri night when i go to the game in Milwaukee. I also fear father time will catch up with lackey. Don't even get me started on the pen.

    I am looking for 4 tickets for this Sunday the 17th at Wrigley please let me know if you know anybody that has any tickets thanks

    Hammels has been prescribed potato chips by his doctor.
    This should prevent his usual second half meltdown. :wink:
    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.

    Pathetic to at minimum not tie the game down 1 woth bases loaded no outs. He was wild as shit and our guys go up there swinging at 1st pitch garbage. Gotta be more disciplined.

    Didn't they do the same thing(swinging at 1st pitch garbage) when they played the Mutz in NY?

    These are the type of games that make or break championships. Right now we're "breaking." Hendricks' time to shine tomorrow. He shows up fatty tomorrow, were right back to "making."

    Rizzo looked really bad last night. Has he ever struck out 4 times in one game before?

    That game seriously pissed me off!
    No outs and the bags full.
    Ugh!

    Familia at that point, threw like 10 balls and 2 strikes. How the hell does anyone take a swing at anything that's not right down the middle? Ugh!

    Obviously, Bryant shit down his leg. However, before that, they had Sczur batting? He should have instead been put on 2nd in place of Montero. The mets OF has some cannons. Sczurs speed was needed on 2nd.

    They said today that was just the 2nd GIDP by Bryant all yr in a little under 350 ABs. Just bad timing.
