Taking Cubs Tonight

[No coincidences]

When you go into the season with the Cubs' lineup, you don't go out and buy relievers to build a decent bullpen. There is no point.

What else would you call cutting 35-40 million in payroll from 2010 to 2012?

They are getting the bad contracts off the books. There won't be any additions until that is accomplished.

Or, there's this thing in baseball called "scouting" and another thing called a "farm system." Cubs might want to look into that.

Why does Marmol still get thrown out there even after blowing games over and over and over?

Big payroll teams don't really need to build an entire team. Just pieces and then fill in free agency.

The Cubs' problem hasn't been scouting, its been awful contracts.

They've developed a few nice pieces from the minors... Shark, James Russell, etc.

Un fu**inunbelievable

And the recently departed Sean Marshall and Andrew Cashner.

Cubs are better than people think. Good value here with Garza. Then again, I don't bet MLs.

Didn't you take Dodgers ML tonight?

Didn't you take Dodgers ML tonight?

Yep. Tilt.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Has anyone ever not started and then had all 5 of their team's RBIs?

Thank you to The Jesus

Castro is quite a talent, but that might be the worst swing in MLB in my lifetime.

[ShogunRua]

Can the Cubs pen possibly fukk this up again?

A rookie named Dolis will be pitching through the heart of the Brewers' order... what do you think?

[Cougar Bait]

Have to get up at 4 am for work

Going to bed

Hoping it ends well

I give up.

[d2bets]

Dolis is clearly hurt. Clear to everyone except for the coaching staff.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

No idea what is wrong with Dolis, weird body language for sure. And a 2 seamer above the belt is as good as gone.

[ShogunRua]

This fukkin team. It's never over with them. Ever...

[d2bets]

Maybe DeJesus can get 2 more AB's and hit a single and double. Would he be the first to hit for the cycle after coming in in the 7th inning?

[drfunkmaster]

These relievers are all bums...

I was thinking maybe DeJesus could pitch the 10th.

[No coincidences]

Let's see how the Cubs blow a 1st and 2nd, no out now.

[d2bets]

Can The Jesus do it again?

Ian Stewart with a shitty bunt when they might have walked him anyway. Typical.

I don't know how Cubs fans can fvcking stand this team/franchise. It's sickening.

Please... there isn't a Cubs fan who expected this team to look good this year. They let their best hitter walk, they traded their best reliever, they made no upgrades at all simply because this year is a waste year and everyone knew it. Don't bring gambling into fandom conversations. Cubs will position themselves better for the future because Theo isn't a moron like Jim Hendry.

these cubs/brewers games are sometimes crazy

when i saw the total at 7 1/2 i actually thought "jeez they can each get that once the bullpens get in there"

Why is Dolis still pitching?

have you not figured out that dale sveum is an alcoholic?
there's a reason he was only an interim manager in milwaukee...

Over the last decade, the Cubs have won the 2nd most NL Central titles, only behind the Cardinals. It isn't as bleak as you think. They've been terrible since 2009 and finally changes have been made to correct it. But it isn't a quick fix.

[Dogball]

This game killing me, last piece of parlay, all others won, cubs score 3 in ninth to give it back
Omg. Just killer after giving it back after the pinch hit grand slam. Could not script this shit
