IST, Cubs @ Wrigley North Brewers

[PickSix]

How much $ did Theo hand Kimbrel? Ouch.

 

[TL1961]

Milwaukee with the roof closed is homer haven.

They face a Cubs team that hits a lot of HR's, and the game starts with the roof open.

They trail late, and the roof gets closed.

THREE HRs and a 400 ft double AFTER closing the roof.

 

[TL1961]

Shut the fk up with that bullshit. I've seen a bunch of negative posts from you in the past two days. You're full of shit.

You are not a Cub fan. I am.

 

[Fred Garvin]

Why take out the guy that allowed an XBH to tie the game?

He took out Holland who retired the guy he faced.

Apparently it is like the starting lineup - Joe decides the bullpen progression a week in advance.

Whoa. A negative post about the manager? You're no Cub fan.

 

[Fred Garvin]

Wow. This bullpen is total garbage. Kimbrel chokes it away. These are the games he was brought in for. Another Theo bust. Thanks Theo.

 

[TL1961]

Whoa. A negative post about the manager? You're no Cub fan.

ChiBears/Choyne/Fred....whatever moniker today.....go away

 

[Fred Garvin]

Cubs now tied for most losses after having lead in 7th inning. 19 blown saves by this horrendous...pathetic bullpen. Now the one guy we thought was a real closer...farts away another important game.

 

[zack54attack]

I'm just getting sick of this. It's happening way too much. It's either the offense cant score runs, the bullpen blowing games or BOTH. It's unacceptable.

 

[Fred Garvin]

My gawd. It woulda been better to bring in Strop instead of Kimbrel. BUST.

 

[Fred Garvin]

Boston knew what they were doing when they refused to keep Kimbrel.

 

[truthbedamned]

Can't wait to hear the excuses in Maddons pressor.

Calling Kimbrel a bust at this point is pretty fucking Special person

Why? Boston gave up on him....he's already got 2 blown saves...and all the others have been shaky as hell. We can argue the semantics of the word "bust" all day long...but it hasn't been a good acquisition. This guy is Carlos Marmol all over again.

It’s incredibly stupid. That’s what makes it pretty fucking Special person. Sorry if that was unclear in any way before

Ahhhh.....if we don't buy into your "roof closed" conspiracy theory we aren't true Cubs fans....Gotcha....Then there is this theory that the manager of the Cubs lately is sucking donkey balls with his decisions. Nah...can't be that.....must be the roof.

Worst conspiracy ever.

Got any thoughts on JFK?

 

[Bigfoot]

Much like last year inconsistent bats. Not enough situational hitting and to much let's hit it 500 ft and be a hero. If changes don't happen at deadline; hope we add a couple bats in the offseason that can actually get on base, and take what is giving to them.

Football season is on the horizon. Forget about this team and get a good vibe from a Bears team that is up and coming. If you’re not a Bears fan then turn to your favorite football team. Cubs window of opportunity started closing last season and it’s just about shut now. Would not surprise me to see them win by 14 tomorrow only to lose the next series to the Cardinals and only average 2 runs a game. In 2016 this team earned the right to be called the Cubs. Now they are back to being what they have been for the century prior. The Cubbies. Pathetic.

 

[Fred Garvin]

So...Why should the roof being closed benefit the Brewers and not the Cubs? Cuz the Brewers are that much better? Why can't Bryant hit it out with the roof closed? Or Baez......or Rizzo? It only benefits a REAL lineup like the Brewers. I get it. I am not conceding the Brewers are better than the Cubs...but they were last year...and this year they are owning the Cubs and have the same record. So what conclusion should we draw? Cubs are just in a 240 game (or whatever) slump? This is on Theo.

In 542 games BEFORE he came to the Cubs Kimbrel had allowed two homers in a game ONCE. In just 12 games with the Cubs he's done it TWICE already. Your definition of "good" must be really screwed up. Is it his 6 plus ERA that puts him in "non bust" territory? Just curious. Or is it his constant shaky appearances that put him clear non bust territory? Who's the Special person here? Why don't you read a book about baseball or something cuz you clearly don't know anything about it..and are just some pathetic alcoholic homer.
