We actually put Villanueva in this game?

That is a complete surrender.

He could not get ME out.

Bunts in the air, and we can't get an out.

Of course I wanna see Soler in there every day, but I'm also fine with them having him take it easy... don't wanna push those hamstrings too much just yet.

Called being pragmatic. I don't call WS until they make the play offs. I don't believe the youth project will work until Baez and Alcantara are hitting. Not fighting off the Mendoza line.

You came in talking smack right away. Most here are realists but hopeful it works out.

I've been a Cubs fan for 40 years. I don't get rah rah about this team. 2003 taught me not to become that way.

What's wrong with some of you guys? Who's talking smack? It seems you are the one calling me out for anything I say. You're being pragmatic by being negative? Silly. I didn't say a word to you and you jumped on me right away.

Furthermore, in no way did I predict that the Cubs would win a WS at any time. All I said that free agents pitchers might want to play in Wrigley, for that OPPORTUNITY. You're just a nasty old man that's living in the past. Welcome to the future. I can't wait for old thinking Cubs fans, like you, to just go away.

Shouldn't we keep things in perspective? We got the split against a good Cards team. I hate the Cards, but this is just the beginning of starting up this rivalry again. Also, the bullpen had the best era in the mlb for the last month up until these games.

I don't think it's realistic to go from absolutely sucking, to should sweep the Cards. Who knows, maybe the Cubs don't want to win too many games and knock themselves out of a top ten draft pick? The Cubs are playing better than most people thought at this point. I suggest we enjoy it, and look towards the future, not to tell anyone how to think mind you.

CSF77 is a pillar of the Cubs forum here with many great posts. When did you show up? That's right. You have no idea who most on the forum are, but you have no problem filling the forum with poorly reasoned garbage. We already know FA pitchers are going to give the Cubs FO a fair shake. Perhaps you could do us all a favor and read some of the conversations we've had this season instead of acting as if you've reinvented the wheel. :rolleyes:

Fucking Villanueva

Yeah, but it's only for another month. Then he can help Jackson pack and the two of them can take turns making sure the Exit door doesn't hit them in the ass on the way out.

I'm not going to respond to his trash. When he gets old enough to appreciate just liking a team regardless if they are good or bad then he will get it.

It is not about the result it is the journey. Mill that over about why you follow anything in life.

Other than that. What a sucky ending to a game. I still believe they need to drop Baez in the order. He is killing the line up.

Do we know what the reasoning was for giving Soler multiple games off already?

Yea, his legs. They just dont want to push him. They did the same thing when he was in the minors this season. Soler has not played a ton of ball over the past 3 or 4 years. He didnt play for like a year and a half before he came to the Cubs. Then he got hurt last year and then this year. They are just being really cautious and building up his endurance and baseball muscles.
