IST: Cubs vs. Nats

[Fred Garvin]

I'm sorry...but 7 games over .500 with the leagues 2nd highest payroll? That's not acceptable. This team is closer to 3rd place than first.

If the Nationals continue this success at the plate, I could see them doing damage in playoffs.

Cubs need to get healthy. regroup a bit and relax.

They are the hottest team in baseball and have a great 1-2-3 at teh top of the rotation. Their bullpen could be their undoing in th eplayoffs, but they should be very dangerous. Of course, same could be said last few years and they haven't won a single series.

Well, first of all, that is not true. Second, it doesn't matter.

Yeah, losing to shot team like the Nats while the Cards beat up a juggernaut Rockies team is cause for alarm. Because the schedule wont change after each series.

Win, and you get crickets.
Lose a few, and the panic starts.

Cubs are about to be 3 back in the L column. At what point do you ring the alarm bell?

This team is younget and more dangerous IMO. Their bullpen is the true weak unit and in the playoffs, that will spell doom in the end but they are scoring runs like the Cubs are supposed to be doing.

Cy Musgrove...Cy Sanchez....Cy Ross.....and now having to face REAL Cy Young candidates. We've been waiting at least 150 games going back to last year for this team to "turn it on". Yeah...nothing to worry about unless the real goal is just to finish above .500. I think that is a possibility...so yeah..."we're fine".

Also, regarding today, the fat lady has yet to sing.

 

[JimJohnson]

A lot of the usual posters have all but disappeared from these Cubs threads. People jumping ship maybe.

 

[Spunky Porkstacker]

Cubs will be fine

You must really be butthurt to keep saying that same old chit every day

Yet you're still here.

Just smearing feces over the faces of those who would always say not to panic and everything will be okay. Cubs failing miserably.

It sure as shit isn’t Aug 25th. Only idiots do that.

He doesn’t say it every day. he only comes here when the Cubs lose or when he thinks they’re going to

 

[JimJohnson]

And then in a few weeks when Cubs are 5+ back, you'll probably say "baseball isn't everything, oh well."

Which they've been doing a lot lately.

So what's your point, most if not all posters know this team has shortcomings this year but choose to just watch the games and see what happens. You on the other hand just come in here and chirp your same ole. Fucking seek help...get a hobby, do something fun...loser.

There is a difference between watching the games to see what happens and telling those who are concerned to piss off by saying "Cubs will be fine." No the Cubs aren't fucking fine.

 

[JimJohnson]

And there it is folks.

 

[Fred Garvin]

And there it is folks.

Cubs will be fine. Only 2 1/2 back....and now going on the road to play a hot team....Theo really handled the 2nd highest payroll in baseball like a genius.
