I don't like that safety squeeze with contreras. Weaver is laboring right now and you gave him an easy one. If you're gonna bunt I'd just assume bunt baez over to 2nd.

@jcrasnick: #Nationals have had discussions about releasing Jonathan Papelbon, multiple sources confirm.

I know some of you don't like him but it wouldn't surprise me if released he doesn't end up with Cubs. .

Strop out and Rondon questionable

Put me on the list of guys that hate him. You want Chapman to consider signing with this team next year, there is no way you bring in pouty boy papelbon.

Papelbon a FA after this year....
Wouldn't have any bearing on making Chapman an offer or not for next year.

I personally don't care if he comes or not, just saying it wouldn't surprise me if he does end up here..

Ties with Epstein and Hoyer , Ross, and I believe Lester made a push for him last year and I think this year at deadline.

Papelbon would have nothing to lose but lots to gain if he came here..
He obviously would know Chapman the guy but if he would to come here and take Strop spot and help ease the work load for Rondon while he tries to get back to 100%..

He puts himself in better position come off season FA and he puts himself on a team with a great chance this year to win it all..

Bats look dead today, not getting anything going after Russell Homer..

Listening to the insufferable John Rooney on Cards broadcast. Easily the most condescending jackass in the game.

As is his m.o., every ball and strike call that has gone the Cubs way has been questionable or simply bad. But cards pitchers are credited with great location if an outside pitch is called a strike.

They have absolutely awful TV guys, but Rooney somehow finds a way to be worse.

Cubs are dominating a tied ballgame.

Do not let these pigfuckers escape with a win.

Just one of a long line of horseshit ex-White Sox radio guys. They procreate like rabbits.

That 4th run is on Maddon. Edwards should have been pulled already.
Really nobody left, their all gassed

One of those games someone was gonna take the lumps like Williams did yesterday for the Cards, it happened to be Edwards..

Just had that feeling when the bats went quiet, the Cards were gonna get those 2 runs and then take advantage of the Cubs pen today

How is everyone gassed? They won 13-2 yesterday. If he was going to have Edwards take one for the team, he wouldn't have brought Smith in to give up the slam. Need Rondon healthy.

I get why they got Smith but I gotta say I'd rather have had Nathan in that spot.

And some day you may stumble over a brain.....last 10 outings. 9+ innings, 2 hits, 1 run, 2 walks and 15 K's.

One bad one and he's done.

What a mope.....

Can we bring back Nathan? He has to be better than Smith.
