This is going to get real fucking ugly. Maybe we win Tuesday.

Ross is the guy you can score on, but the Nats give him like 10 runs per game in support.

This.

This is one of those series where it seems like you should get murdered. But Washington's bullpen troubles really come to a head, and the Cubs either sweep or take 3 of 4.

I really don't like the pitching matchups here. If Jake was starting tonight, I'd think they could get 2 of 4. But the way it's lined up and given how bad their offense has been, I'm not sure they can win 2.

Hopefully they will just put Russell on the DL, but from the way they are talking about it, it seems like something where only either rest or surgery will truly help and he's going to have to gut it out the rest of the year.

Scherzer might K 15 dudes in his start.

I doubt the Cubs will send 15 different guys up to the plate.

They have 3 automatic outs in the lineup tonight against Gio though if I'm not mistaken they usually hit him pretty well.

Hey remember when the Sux traded top prospect Gio Gonzales for 1.1 fWAR of Nick Swisher ?

#That'sSubdivision
#BadTradeBrought2UByPulteHomes

I'll take a split.

Swisher had a terrible year with the Sox, but his career WAR is 20+.

You know who has a 1.1 WAR in 2017? Ian Happ

Frank is trying so hard... I give you credit though sir. Maybe one day you'll have a team worth watching again.

The point is...dumbass, they traded 1.1 fWAR(Nick Schwisher) for well over 10 fWAR on cheap control on Gonzales. I bet you rushed out and bought a Swisher jersey though....

OMG, you mean baseball execs sometimes make bad trades?!

Shitty teams do, yeah.

Im glad you found a way to bring the shitty White Sox into another Cubs thread.

Maybe Darkside or leash can tell us if this guy counts as a Cubs fan or not.

Yeah, but you always seem to be fishing these Cubbie Waters, FlapJacks.

Fwar matters except when it comes to Schwarber

No, only HR's matter with Schwarber, per the Subdivision.

yep, he is the little engine that could

I think that was the point, but it'd be nice if he got a hit in one of these games. I think he's hitless with a couple of walks.

So I just learned that the Cub with the highest career average vs Gonzalez , John Jay, isn't starting tonight . Maybe Joe is sending him out to rent the magician .

Good prop bet for the series. Will the Nationals score more runs than the Cubs get hits over the series ?
