Can all the Cubs all-stars fake an injury? I think not playing baseball for 4 days will be the way to go.

Seriously man WTF is your problem? I have said it enough times now that no one can say that until they win the World Series. Im not saying shit about it again until November. Until then stop flaming my ass. But Im sure you want the Cubs to win the World Series and if not them then who this year? They are 1/2 games behind the Rangers for best record in MLB and have the best record in the NL. What more can anyone want?!!

Yeah im with you on this one. But our pitchers are the only one's who have looked tired and they all get 4 days off . Arrieta and Lester will probably pitch 4 innings between the two of them in 4 days. I think the All Star game is going to fire the Cubs up.

My favorite teams
The Cubs are the most overhyped team in the history of sports. They are a manufactured fantasy of ESPN to create interest and drive people to their website and TV station.
Truth is the Cubs are somewhere in the top 10 teams in baseball. They are only favorites in terms of money Cubs fans bet in Vegas. When they win they pile on to bad pitchers and score a ton of runs. They own the fucking Reds which is equal to a minor league team. When they lose it's usually by 1-2 runs and their inability to comeback and score runs is obvious. They have a lot of below average hitters on this team that only contribute to the problem: Heyward, Russell, Monterro, Coghlan, Almora, Soler contribute nothing to the offense. They were destroyed by the Mets in the series last year and swept by them this week. No reason to beleive it won't happen again in the fall.
The only thing we can hope for is that Theo dumps some of these clowns and reloads for the playoffs. Expect to get raped on trades as GMs know the Cubs are desperate and the trend is to keep playing like shit

Get an online version, go through a proxy and cast/steam to your TV. Plus I don't think 100 bucks or so should be the reason why you stay with a company you are unhappy with.

The Cubs were on a historic pace before the wheels came off. I don't watch ESPN, but I know MLB network has cooled substantially on the Cubs. News follows the flavor of the week. The Cubs media blitz will be going away if they keep getting spanked by teams.

The Mets may not even make the playoffs this season though and if they do it could be a one and done. I think still think there mets are 50/50 on making the playoffs. That lineup is not consistent enough.

Almora is hitting .310/.344/.466. I wouldn't say he's a "below average" hitter.

He got off to a good start. Give him another 200 AB and he will be hitting .235. Guy stands too far from the plate, takes no balls, gets no walks, doesnt hit the ball solidly and in spite of his miracle HR has no real power
Wait till next year when him and Heyward are in a death match to see if either of them can break .235 Regardless of the LF expect us to have one of the weakest hitting OF in the MLB

He was a career .292/.325/.420 hitter in the minors. I strongly doubt he's going to hit .235.

Watch him. It's a miracle when he can even get the ball out of the infield

I retracted my comments on Bryant when I found out he changed his swing. Get over it

That's not rude. I retracted my Bryant comment and you keep bringing it up. OK, just banter. That's not rude
