A wins a win.

Bryant hustle play & MLB review availability goes a looooong way. Do we call that an insurance run?

I want a sweep.

Let's hope Neil Ramirez gets back soon and Grimm stays healthy.

Hopefully just a blip by Rondon given a no save appearance. Strop needs to get a couple days off so he can get his stuff back.

Fun game last night. Tailgated for a bit and had some beers with IMU.

I just fuckin knew Braun would hit a home run in the ninth.

fyi- that was Castro's 6th error of the season. I know this because I had to look it up. Thanks Len.

That was pretty cool though he should have just sat there and waited for them.

We better get a wellness check on dolphin, BRick, Frank etc.....

Things might be tough to watch for them for the next five years or so.

Soler needs to turn his back on Jobu because he can't touch breaking balls.

The fact that Edwin Jackson has thrown a no hitter before offends me.

It's not my money (or "my show, but I'm on that show") but what's the purpose of having Jackson on the roster? You're getting nothing from him. It's time to cut bait an move on.

Man, this Cub bullpen is tough to watch. Unless something drastically changes with these guys, it's going to be near impossible to string together a long winning streak.

I don't know what else Maddon can do. You can only pitch the pitchers you have. Along with Jackson, what purpose does Coke server at this point? The guy was done two years ago in Detroit. I know it was a catch lighting in a bottle hope against hope, but it's time to cut your losses.

If the Cubs had just an average bullpen this team could contend.

Add two more starting pitchers and I'll agree.

Ross pitches three up three down and the bullpen can't get anyone out. :lol:

Unreal. Another shitty Wood outing, and shit bullpen showing. Hendricks better be good tomorrow, you can't lose a 2nd series to this shitty team.

Shitty Wood!

That's some gay thing, right?

Belvidere would know, probably.

Great piece of hitting by Rizzo to tie it up. Flick of the wrists and still drives it.

Remember when the bullpen looked average? That was awesome.

Bullpen, bullpen, bullpen.

I've tempered my expectations quite a bit after being subjected to this futile attempt at relief pitching. We're going to have to start averaging an absurd amount of runs to even have a shot at a wild card slot.

Bullpen has been bad, but the offense needs to pick it up too. Can't lose this many games to the Brewers.
