To live and die in LA, it’s the place to be. You’ve got to be there to know it, when everybody wanna see.

Are the Cubs even going to win one?

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

We got Lester, Hendricks should bounce back, and Quintana should play well at Dodger Stadium.

Even tonight, I dont view fuckin Maeda as unhittable. With some offense we could pull it out tonight too. That's baseball.

The Cubs should win 2 out of 4. No reason to bitch. We're still on pace for 92 fuckin' victories.

Fuck this team. Overrated pussies.

I saw Underwood four years ago at Kane County. Sheesh. It’s hard to believe it was that long ago. I hope his change has improved.

Yep. It’s better.

I've seen 3 pitches. Is that the scouting report on him?

When I saw him he threw a hard slider. He must have ditched that for the curveball.

40 pitches in the first.. Wtf

Let's lay off the first pitch huh?

Isn't it ironic that tonight EJax tied the record for most teams (13) yet went 6 IP with 1 ER while we run out this Underwood kid who will be lucky to get 2-3 full years in the league for his career?

This Angel Hernandez strike zone is crazy.

He's the pitcher whisperer!!!

gunned him down at home by Baez. too bad these guys can't score tonight.

Really pathetic effort tonight. The kid was ok, not great by any means. Cubs hitters are making this guy look great. Besides Schwarber, it's been a lot of shit at bats. Baez is swinging at everything. Heyward is back to being bad. Not sure why Caratini was sent down. This old fuck is useless.

This is not true. He has hit the ball hard to the opposite way tonight. Just hit it right at people

Russell tried really hard to ground into a DP but Almora did it for him. these guys suck.

What a great deal Maeda is...8 years at only $3m per year. That’s basically one year of Darvish.

_________________

The Russell and Almora at bats were really bad. No plan at all. This might be one of the most overrated lineups in the game. Nice of Wilson to come in and give up a bomb right away.

Justin Wilson being Justin Wilson. AFter that first pitch strike that was right down the middle knew Taylor would jack on this AB.

Javi just missed a 3 run homer.

I'm sure these fuckers will lose now by that one run Wilson gave up.

Damn, came close...thought they were gonna pull this one out
