Rizzo goes deep again to lead off the game. Replay brings it back.

Maddon ejected. Lots of action for first batter.

Love the throwback unis. I'm old.

That's twice Contreras posed and the ball didn't leave the yard.

Did Hurdle challenge that foul hr? If so, worst challenge ever.

They have been the same awful team all season.

Another case of shitty managing. Rivera should have started the 9th.

Only they can have a 6!run lead in the top of the ninth and have their closer throw 30 pitches and blow him out for tommorow when they may actually need him. #ThatsCub

Big win. Signs of life finally...

So, was it a homer or wasn't it?

It was not

I hope they keep playing Happ because they want to eventually trade him for a SP in July. They need Almora in the playoff lineup. Joe has to play him more. I know he's got half the at bats as an everyday starter but he's still batting .286, which would lead the team with Tommy La Stella.

Remember when an Arrieta start was a guaranteed win and likely a complete game shutout?

That seems like 20 years ago.

Jake Arrieta
Last 30 starts: 4.47 ERA, 177.1 IP, 24 HR, 1.258 WHIP
30 starts before that: 1.20 ERA, 209.1 IP, 5 HR, 0.803 WHIP

Pisses me off that he sucks now but what a Virtually free ride. Cy, 2 no-no's and a WS. We literally got 2 Cinderella seasons out of just another guy.
