It's Sept 2. But does this feel like a must win for anyone else?

This team just doesn't have it. I don't think i've been this frustrated with a Cubs team since 04.

 

[SilenceS]

Robel still cant hit a breaking ball or lay off them

 

[TL1961]

Don’t you love that we call up players on Sep 1 who we specifically left off roster for eligible postseason players, and Joe immediately plays them?

We determine they are not our best, but Joe plays them ahead of others.

He wants to be fired.

VOGEL IS FATTER THAN SCHWARBER

 

[zack54attack]

Offense can show up at anytime now...

 

[zack54attack]

Rizzo!

 

[zack54attack]

Holy smokes. What a break.

 

[SilenceS]

That still would have got a run in but about time something broke our way

 

[TL1961]

"Hey, skip? How did Almora score?"

"Schwarber drove him in."

"I mean, how the hell did he get on base?"

"I intentionally walked him to get to Schwarber."

 

[SilenceS]

Lets get the sweep tomorrow.

Contreras looks to be back for Milwaukee on Thursday.

Maddon said Zo is going to get a lot of playing time in Milwaukee

Cubs win! JimJohnson nowhere to be found... interesting!

 

[MDB111™]

This team is polarizing

cubs will be fine?

Make no mistake about it, I am not and would not bet on the Cubs to win the world series. I don't think they will and I would think others were foolish if they did.

The annoying part for me is taking each game like it's make or break. It's been happening since the first week of the season.

Cubs win 5 in a row and people are here taunting the sky is falling people (guess I have been one those types a couple times per year). Get swept by the Mets, the sky is falling people are here to taunt the optimists.

You have it marked man. It is a marathon and not a sprint. I would generally like to see this team in the playoffs to see what shakes out, but my thoughts equal yours; this is no series team. I do enjoy the ride along the way and get irritated when some posters over react to losses.

Cubs are indeed injured still too. If Rizzo, Contreras, Darvish, Strope all come back and collectively put together a fighters chance, I'd support that. Maybe we win a NLDS? I am not going to stop being a fan if this banged up strange under achieving squad reached the NLCS.

In my eyes, we got our championship. And we got it early as ****! Maybe we peaked???? Sure I want more. But we already got what we were all after and to see certain fans and posters over reacting is sad.

Twins and Cards won the series having seemingly similar years as the Cubs. Get in the playoffs, anything can happen.
