Will Lackey be shit today?
>>67261639

>>67261788
>not liking Messmer
>>67261705

>>67261850
Run onto the field in the top of the fifth
>that pixely camera angle
>>67261850
Keep warm, anon.
>>67262099
It's actually not bad at all imo
>>67261886
I don't want to get bum raped tho
>women sports broadcasters
>abc interviews are back
Fucking god damn it
>>67262728
>she used to work for the Packers
>shes a packers shill
KILL ABC FOR THIS ABOMINATION
Tbh the Cubs hired Len because he's a stooge and just does whatever he's told. Caray and Stone hated this sort of thing.
>>67262847
Len is great, this is on ABC
>>67262847
time to get over it, they have been gone for like 12 years
>>67262916
len is mediocre
Who /sirius/ here, lads?
On I-16, nothing to do for a few hours but listen to Bravse Baesblal.
Fuck you Kelly Johnson
>>67262746
>>67262728
>>67262802
>>67262805
>Actually watching ABC
It's your own fault.
Fucking Lackey. At least Hayward tried.
>>67263805
I'm watching on MLB.tv, the only other option is to watch the feed with the Caray that should have been aborted
> acting like 1 run means anything
Y'all seen a single Cubs game this year?
>>67263861
Worried that the Barves shit rotation is dominating our lineup. I know we can score off their shit pen, but we are facing an actual team tomorrow senpai
>>67263846
We get the WGN cast, so I'm pleased. Fuck ABC and anytime they broadcast a game.
>>67263917
It's the drought deluge hitting style of the cubs, be happy they hit a drought against a shit team and can still win.
>That bulging vein in Lackey's neck
He's pissed about something
Not a fun inning
Im scared 2bh guys i bet everything against the barves
the cubs are still gonna win r-right?
>>67264157
>betting on Lackey
>flowers getting shit talking lessions from Pierzynski
So does Lackey always take a no hitter through the first 4, then collapse in the next 2-3 innings?
>resd
>>67264244
Some ask the cardinals. remember to have a swastika while posting though
Every win the Braves get is just
>Ayy lmao
Cause there's no chance >we're going to make playoffs.
WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING
fuck
Russell you're supposed to be good at defense
Jesus christ that was the best thing that could have happened with that ball
RUSSEL BOOTS AN EASY DP BALL
THEY CAN'T TURN THE DP BEFORE ANOTHER RUN SCORES
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>67264426
>russEll
>Nobrist
Great job costing us the game
That was some smart baserunning
>run scored on a double play
that inning was a joke
Feels like a loss today
Dont have faith in our guys coming through on offense
>bats are asleep
everytime i bet against the braves they fucking win. shit is garbage
>it's a dead people on the videoboard episode
>>67264970
Fuck you frog.
They need to find a way to keep the wind from blowing to the infield. So many homeruns robbed by it.
>>67264970
Too bad you weren't included in the videoboard montage
>>67265128
Well we're not building a dome if that's what you're implying
>>67265128
Wait till summertime m8
a good left fielder would have caught that, he took a bad route
>>67265437
That's what I was thinking, he went way too shallow. Dude's safe too
>>67265325
>Implying Ricketts isn't already plotting in how to fuck over the rest of the rooftop owners who are still fighting him.
Shit, he's safe.
>out
thanks, umps
Wow, Braves got robbed.
>tie doesn't go to the runner
I'm still not used to replay reviews
>>67265437
Ankle might've factored into it.
>>67265555
In the case of replays, tie goes to whatever the umpire initially called
Really a stellar start for Lackey. He should be through 8 with only 1 run allowed.
maybe we can hit now that teheran is off the mound
Has the Braves fielding improved, or are the Cubs just being played for chumps and hitting easy catches?
>offense forgot to show up today
OH SHIT, THE BRAVES KILLED DEX WITH HIS OWN HELMET
Hey! we have bats?
>injured by a helmet
we /irony/ now
it feels like the cubs have a way of losing to teams that are under .500
Based helmet
we need #foamhelmets
>>67265871
>hitting easy catches?
U w0t?
#keeptheplayerssafe
Don't fuck this up Heyward.
Heyward 4-3 groundout. Who could've guessed?
91% is pretty good
>Cervenka
>Viscaino
Is the Braves bullpen all former Cubs farm hands
Time for another new reliever
>>67266166
basically AAA
nice seats boi
>>67265954
The cubs have only faced sub .500 teams all season so...
rizz..oh
Anyone have the cubs sweating towel guy
>>67266238
They played the cubs so they automatically have a default 2 to 5 losses
>>67266238
Cardinals aren't sub .500 yet lel
I often forget Wood is still on the team
>longest tenure player, Travis Wood
>>67266332
Based Travis wood
>>67266410
afraid its looking like a L for today boys its ok we had a good week

Qt by the cusb on deck circle
feels bad man
suicide incoming. I cant handle this pain. What is losing
>>67267457
A lot of well hit balls died on the track. I imagine run consistency will come with better weather
There's that old familiar feeling. It's comforting in a way.
its ok boys we start fresh tomorrow against the pirates should be an interesting series seeing as they are second behind us in the NL standings
>>67267457
>>67268183
>Only 11 games above .500
