Len is the best broadcaster you'll hear in your life, show some respect
>>69407836
>Len Kasper
>national broadcaster
>>69407877
Literally who? All I know we're not being broadcast on Root Sports Pittsburgh and I have to listen to some douchey national broadcaster instead of based Brownie.
Coghlan did nothing wrong
Wow, saying that slide was not dirty...
This is embarrassing. Damage control central for a crashing ship.
Shit Lester get it together
what the fuck
GET READY FOR THE PAIN TRAIN CHRAQ
why do the gamethreads always use the poop colored Cub
Okay, so the color guy is Nitkowski. He's a fucking idiot. Please rape my face to end this awfulness.

We've reached 2012 levels of incompetency

>>69411546
still more active than the sox thread earlier.
I'll be leaving now. See you guys at the end of the month.
With that, the Cubs will now be 1-8 in July, have only a 6.5 game lead on the Pirates, and fall to fourth overall in the Majors.
At this rate, not only will the Cubs miss the postseason entirely, but will also fall below the .500 mark by mid August, and ultimately won't even win 70 games.
Honestly, when is the last time that a team has started so very good, and gone so completely to shit?
>>69411546
Still here but Cubbies are killing me so I don't feel like posting a lot
>>69411885
they were never going to keep up the pace for 120 wins, and they're not going to keep up this pace either
>all these Cubes fans on the edge
You guys are still going to win like 100 games this year. Pump the brakes a bit.
>>69412039
I'm not that sure about it but I do believe they'll get better, they can't keep failing like this with the guys they have. Still I'm unsure about our bullpen.
>>69411965
>>69411965
>They won't keep up a losing pace
What evidence do you have of that? It's difficult to keep up a high winning pace, of course. It's insanely easy to suck, and to do so for an entire year.
What have you seen lately to indicate this can turn around?
>>69412209
I have a basic knowledge of statistics, that's what I have
>>69412223
I don't even know which team this is helping at this point
>>69412363
>only Jim can see who rustle who
>the sheer unluckiness of that
>>69412447
looks like it's the Cubs tonight
is it all star break yet
Oh well, good for the rookie
>>69411884
Later faggot
Ever since Soler got injured the cubs have been losing
>>69412768
you misspelled Fowler (Soler loss still hurts too though)
ALRIGHT, TIME FOR YOU TO IMPRESS US
Where will you be when Bell wins one for the 'burgh
>>69412727
Is that seriously what they wore?
>>69412988
um, yeah?

Why does the hat look hollow?
>>69412988
Pirates throwbacks are fly as fuck
>>69413162
How do you not remember those if you're 36? I'm 28 and I remember seeing cards with those uniforms as a kid.
>>69413162
>he's double underage
MODS!|!!!!!!!
How do you think its going to end guys? I go for a solid Bucks 15 Cubs 9
>Kawasaki
we're gonna need that meme magic
>>69413475
let's go bold here
14-13, Cubs take the lead, but the bullpen blows it
actually that's not bold at all
>>69413475
Cubies tie
Overtime
>>69413475
Pitts 13, Cubs 5
because at this rate they're going to discover how to score negative runs by the 8th
Thank God. June was insufferable listening to all the yinzer media talking about the Pirates needing to be sellers during the trade deadline. Some were even suggesting they move McCutchen. Of course, now they won't talk about anything but based Chinaman rape saga, as it's the only way they get listeners.
so now the bullpen is pitching well
I like Kris Bryant, he seems like a genuinely good guy despite being on a rival team, but Rizzo comes off as a complete douche.
kinda glad that missed
I don't want the first cycle since Mark Grace to come in a game like this
is dexter fowler literally the MVP of the national league
>>69413391
I didn't watch much baseball when I was young. And I live on the east coast and dad is a Cubs fan so we only caught Cubs games when we visited the Midwest. I only remember pirates wearing regular caps.
Those last few innings went by really fast after the first ones took forever
>bullpen is just fine in garbage innings
>Pirates up 12-6
>broadcasters talking about nothing but Cubs players
Fucking
>contreras hurting himself
so it CAN get worse
>>69415422
Going out so I stopped watching the game. Don't tell me he could go to DL.
>>69415602
nah he's fine, trainer came out, but he finished the at bat (fouled a ball off his foot)
Raise it
gg cubs
>>69415651
Good to know. Thanks dude.
>>69415699
Sure! Anyone have an L flag
