Really didn't see that happening ... Glad I don't spend real doe, (just betpoints when bored) glad I don't live in chi to buy tickets to see that, hometown fans must feel like crap after watching a sub par team, beat on them like that. Out of those 52 wins a dozen have came from this very team lol... Then lose 2 in a row to them?

Somebody's eating on that +840 rl though, I'm on cards, and Seattle now ... Let's see how this ends

**Brock Landers** · 07-06-16, 05:10 PM

Negative on the ML for the year now

That took some doing after their start

**Smoke** · 07-06-16, 05:31 PM

Promise us just one thing cubs...

Never ever change...

**jjgold** · 07-06-16, 05:36 PM

Mets will handle them real easy

Could be tough for Mets. If they don't win their division 1 game wild card where anything can happen. Might even have to go against Kershaw to survive.

Cubs pitching is plummeting back to earth.

**pavyracer** · 07-06-16, 07:08 PM

Lets wait until the end of August. Cubs could be fighting for a playoff spot then. They need to trade for a starting pitcher.

**kidcudi92** · 07-06-16, 07:09 PM

I finally wised up and took the Reds today

Might as well ride the dog(s) while it lasts

They need bullpen help more than anything , no one is a shut down arm there

**TheMoneyShot** · 07-06-16, 07:15 PM

Who was the poster that said RL -1.5 every game?!?!?

why a starting pitcher? who do they need to replace from their rotation?

Starting Pitcher

J. Arrieta 2.33 ERA
J. Lester 2.67 ERA
J. Lackey 3.50 ERA
J. Hammel 3.45 ERA
K. Hendricks 2.61 ERA

**kidcudi92** · 07-06-16, 07:22 PM

Might as well go for Chapman but sounds like Yankees want Schwarber or won't deal

Send Vogelbach as he is only a DH, Soler, and some A/AA fella

i'd do that deal

Schwarber may never be the same with his knee, and he can't play the field. He was born to be a DH

Lmao dude. That same guy was also all about the -2.5 RL too. Hopefully for his sake he wised up, otherwise he's buried. That thread was comical, same guy was talking about how the Cubs this year were a lock to win 120 games and would be the greatest team in history record wise and run differential. Then reality happened.

**manny24** · 07-06-16, 08:15 PM

nobody does less with more than the Northsiders

**smitch124** · 07-06-16, 08:16 PM

It seems like the Mets are a match up problem for them, the rest of the league they should handle.

ironically -arietta, despite that 2.33 era has a 12-4-1 over/under record in his games.. how many people would have guessed that ratio?

Look it up yourself. Its actually probably more than most. Not that its the end all. Lots of teams have won with starters without pas experience. Lester and Lackey have plenty though. Rotation is fine. Need bullpen arms.

16.

**TheMoneyShot** · 07-06-16, 10:30 PM

They aren't playing like a hungry playoff team.

**Chi_archie** · 07-06-16, 10:31 PM

hmmm the KC Royals starters had only 14 playoff STARTS combined between them last year before they won the World Series

You'd trade Schwarber for a 1 year rental? Maybe Schwarber for Chapman and Miller, Schwarber could be one of the better hitters in the league.

**Chi_archie** · 07-06-16, 10:48 PM

yeah 3 months and playoffs of a closer is not worth 5 years of control for a possible premiere slugger that still has cheap pre arbitration salaries coming...

that is a big asset

**BaseballChaser** · 07-06-16, 10:49 PM

Heyward playing really bad for them. But honestly 13-17 doesn't mean a whole lot. They've had to play a lot of games in a row. 5-12 over there last 17. Swept by Mets and Cards. Everyone goes through losing streaks. Doesn't mean they're not world series contenders. They'll be fine after all star break.

**Chi_archie** · 07-08-16, 09:12 PM

Last time the Bucs and Cubs played the series ended with the Cubs with a 15.5 game lead over the bucs

after today it will be down to 7.5 games

1969 like collapse coming?

**Brock Landers** · 07-08-16, 09:27 PM

Cubs started out 27-6

Since then....

27-28

**slayer14** · 07-08-16, 09:32 PM

The vegas bookmakers have them only 4/1 to win world series which is silly odds really, considering it a bat and ball game and a lot of luck is involved.

**JayDr3am** · 07-08-16, 09:39 PM

why are the cubbies so poo?

**Chi_archie** · 07-08-16, 09:39 PM

No Brock not only are you bad at predicting sports

you are off on reporting past results!

they started 25-6

been 27-28 since

That's baseball Chiarch, they are probably better off...see Warriors.

**pavyracer** · 07-09-16, 09:31 AM

Braves have better record than Cubs the last 30 games.
