It's a spring time miracle. That's with KB missing some time recently, Rizzo missing quite a bit of time, and the starting rotation looking awful. It'll be okay. No more panicking until September.

Aaaaand just like that, we FUCKING SUCK again.

May as well put $125million on the mound and let it blow into the atmosphere, it'll have about the same effect as Darvish. YU SUCK!

We are 7-1 against MIlwaukee, about to be 9-12 against the rest of the baseball.

^ Yu’s line: 4.1 innings, 7 hits, 3 HR, 6 runs and 3 walks. I’ve seen that movie before.

Now just so I’m being fair, the team has been playing much better and pitching well as a whole. I’m just not sold on Yu and may never be. I hope I’m eating crow later in the season.

Cardinals division leaders on Sunday. Write it down.

$127 M is what the Giants gave Zito. for seven (?) years he sucked. then, he won an elimination game in st. louis and then beat verlander in game one of the 2012 WS. all was forgiven.

^ Yu hasn’t shown the ability to do that on the big stage though. Complete bust in 2017 WS

bbiggs · May 2018

That was a tough one yesterday.

HesCalledDyer · May 2018

Fuck this team full of fucking garbage ass bums.

bbiggs · May 2018

Brutal weekend for the Cubs. 2 of 3 were given away in the 9th or extras. I’m not sure this team has “it.”

I'll agree with you. "it" isn't looking good. The 2 highest paid players aren't worth what they're being paid. Lester, I just don't get the guy. Can't make it out of the 6th last night after like 85 pitches? Hayward is now a liability in the field as well as not being able to hit. Yu has a 2 million ERA in innings 5 and 6. It is what it is. I think they'll "oops" into playoff contention by the end of the year based on overall talent, but I'm not expecting another NLCS without a serious attitude adjustment.

I'd trade Russel and a couple farm guys for Machado and try to get him to sign for one additional year at a max contract. I don't see anyone else sending the O's anything better than that.

HesCalledDyer · May 2018

Addison Russell sucks. He's ok on defense but can't hit for shit. At this point, I wish we had bonehead Castro back. That guy is dumber than hell running the bases... but at least he gets on fucking base so he can run them.

Sit Happ's ass down for fuck's sake!!! Let Almora play. Maddon is so god damned hard-headed. Obviously didn't learn from last year's fucking disaster with Schwarber at lead off. Took til what? June for him to let it fucking go. Same thing this year. Let's just keep Happ in every fucking day so his average can keep getting lower and lower. Meanwhile, Almora has the 3rd highest average on the team so far and plays stellar defense. Zobrist and Almora should be starting every god damn day right now.

And then this shit with putting a guy on the mound who just blew a fucking game the day before in the same god damn situation as the day before. What's that old saying about the definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Maddon is fucking insane. That's all he ever does is keep putting the same shitty fucking players on the field and expecting them to not be shitty. Newsflash - they all fucking suck. Quit playing them!!

It's pretty god damn bad when Javier "swing at literally fucking everything" Baez is leading the team in hits and the entire slash line.

chiwhitesox · May 2018

Yep, they sure do suck. And with an inflated, unjustified payroll to boot. Oh well. Such is life with the Cubbies

HesCalledDyer · May 2018

Such is life with the Cubbies that when you compare the history of the two franchises the Cubs have:

*A higher winning percentage
*More Pennants
*Same number of World Series titles
*More MVPs
*More Cy Youngs
*Same number of Rookies of the Year
*More Gold Gloves
*More Silver Sluggers (including our pitchers having more SS than the White Sox DHs have)
*More batting titles

Oh well is right.

Degeneratefk · May 2018

Wow, a white Sox fan? That just made my day

chiwhitesox · May 2018

LMAO!

like any of it matters

Went to the game last night. Fun to see some offense and cheers from the crowd. Although the ball park was a dump and needed serious repairs and upgrades I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in Wrigleyville area. It looks and feels more like a shopping mall, hotel, outdoor play land and beer garden with a baseball field dropped in the middle rather than just a good old fashioned neighborhood ball park.....
