Can I complain about something now? 

Sure, why not?

 

[Limp Ditka]

At least they tried not to suck yesterday

 

[tommyGunZ]

Beaten by a better team.  Suck it, Cubbies. 

 

[Wrigley]

Team is in complete free fall

 

[Wrigley]

Heading up for the game.

going for another sWeep

 

[Limp Ditka]

A win today and a STL loss would give them a 10 game lead in the division. So I went back and looked to see if they'd be the fastest team, in the divisional era, to a 10 game lead. I stopped looking at each year when I hit 1977 where the Dodgers, in only 26 games played, got it to 10.5 on May 6th of that year.

2001 Mariners stretched it to 10 on May 11th in 35 games

 

[Grahamburn]

Sure, why not?

Soler. 

Big fan of the Baez at 3rd lineup. Enjoy the game!

 

[Wrigley]

0-2 when attending this year

Last game this year for you, correct?

Sniffing around Trout?

Says who, where? Something so far fetched makes me guess Kaplan's the source.

So we can't beat the bad teams

More Baez.  Less LaStella.

DONG

 

[shady inc]

Go Cubs Gooooo 

 

[pantagrapher]

More Baez.  Less LaStella.

I love Baez's glove, but he's really been scuffling at the plate lately. Was looking like he turned the corner up until a few weeks ago.

 

[Wrigley]

Riz and HWard out

Bryant at 1st today 

 

[JNox3]

Didn't Bryant play 3B last year?   I was surprised this year seeing him in the outfield.

Schwarbers injury has forced Bryant to play more outfield.  He's played all 3 OF positions 3rd, and now 1st pretty effortlessly 

guy it is a stud

Wow...that's impressive.   Glad he's on our team

I left out dreamy because it's to obvious

To obvious, or too obvious, that is the question.

Fly the W

 

[Grahamburn]

Great performance from Lester.  I'll give him some credit for that one. 

 

[pantagrapher]

Kyle Hendricks, bro.

June 3 and right now every Cubs starter has an ERA under 3.

Built to win

I was just under the scoreboard in the party area when Bryant hit the bomb off the scoreboard on Thurs.  Great view of the scrum for it...after 20 seconds, a 100-pound girl comes out of the pile with nose gushing blood, and the ball in her hand raised high...everyone went nuts, and I doubt she had to buy another drink anywhere in town that night.

 

[Grahamburn]

Watching Lester back off a bunt like that just tarnishes a great outing for me.  It's illogical, but I can't stand it.  Drives me nuts.

Nice to see Heyward starting to settle in a little bit.  Hopefully Soler is ok.  Injuries are creeping up.  Glad they kept all of their depth.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Matt Murton must be fuming. It's one thing to bring up hot prospects in Baez and Almora, but to trade for Chris Coghlan instead of giving him the call, that kind of blows. 

 

[Grahamburn]

Cogs has been pretty awful for the A's.  Odd trade.

Short term add with LaStella hitting the DL

 

[Grahamburn]

43-18.  Is that good?

 

[shady inc]

Cubs should trade Vogelbach to the yankees for a reliever

I would think they'd want more than that, and they should just wait until the deadline anyway.  No sense in acquiring someone now only to have them blow their arm out before they actually need him.

 

[Grahamburn]

That loss stings.

Contreras coming up. 

 

[Limp Ditka]

Idiot

 

[Wrigley]

Idiot

It's called dedication

 

[Limp Ditka]

If he was dedicated, he'd finish shaving

 

[Wrigley]

DONG!!!!
