The Cubs scare me.

1,000 years and counting?

Good point

Man, this shit with Arrieta after the 5th inning needs to stop.

7 runs given up in the 8th & 9th. For fucks sake.

At least the Nats lost. Home field magic number = 9

Yeah that was big. I get resting guys, but you need to lock up homefield. A little too laxative in my mind.

I kind of feel that home field is just a formality at this point as well.

Cmon man, as Cubs fans the one thing we should know is nothing is a formality or guaranteed.

We are going to lose 3 out of 4 to the mother fucking Brewers. (And damn near swept). Unfuckingreal.

Yeah, I don't like this. There's not a killer instinct right now. Amount of guys left in scoring position yesterday and today is a problem. We should be playing these games like the postseason right now. Bunting, hit and run..... If for no other reason than to get ready. We're not doing that. I have to question the mind set a little bit.

Didn't look good over the weekend for sure. At least 2 of the 4 gms they basically rolled out a AAA lineup. Again I get resting guys but I think they are resting em too much. When you let the foot off the gas it can be really difficult to get it back on.

Yep. Newtons Law. Objects in motion stay in motion.

#thecurseisreal. Nice overly unnecessary celebration the other day. Maybe next year when they win the division they won't jinx themselves......

Yeah, you've been beating that drum. I'm not sure it really holds any weight. Every team celebrates when they win the division. Overly unnecessary? Not sure. They celebrate every win, and have for this and last season - to the point that they have a dedicated room in the clubhouse for it with a smoke machine. I'm not sure the celebration had anything to do with it. I think we need to take a step back and relax. This team has had the right mindset all year. I'd be surprised to see anything different for the last week of the season and the playoffs.

As bad as dropping 3/4 to the Booze Crew seems, I'd much rather them hit that slump now than next month. The Nats lost again, home field down to 8. The celebration Friday has nothing to do with yesterday or today and there is no such thing as a damn curse.
