Cubs will take 1/3, go 1-5 on the road trip. which pretty is what you expect from this team on the road.

Tigers playing hot right now

This ain't the NL

Hoping Arietta can hold this lead.

Pitching has been really good so far. Last series they dropped 2 vs CLE the pitching was great but no hitting.

Would be nice to get this one tonight after losing the last 2 by 1 run.

Bote really needs to not play everyday. He fucking sucks at the plate. He is a nice versatile bench player but my god is he exposed as a bad hitter when playing everyday. He just killed a nice inning with a terrible strikeout on 3 straight pitches right down the dick.

i was just going to post the same thing. let's fucking stop this david bote experiment or whatever they're calling it. At least Sogard can make contact and not look like a fucking clown striking out.

They aren't throwing him a fastball unless absolutely necessary. The only reason he's even playing tonight is that Happ is still on the DL. Otherwise Bryant would be back at 3B and Duffy would be the DH.

Baez is fucking embarrassing. Swung at ball 4 six times in that AB. Refused to take a walk w a man on 1st.

Duffy 3 run bomb - 7-6 cubs. back and forth game. would be nice to get this one.

wheres the pitching

not today - Williams seems like he's a home pitcher not to too good on the road.

but the pitching has been good this entire road trip. at least they are getting runs today.

btw - this boogs guy really sucks. he went into how ross needs help from a bench manager while aj hinch doesn't. JD is ignoring these stupid comments. at least JD is there and not dempster or I would turn this shit off.

Kimbrel couldn't save it. L

wasted 5 rbi day for Duffy

One bright spot in the game was Thompson looking great again. Pitched 2 innings and struck out 5. NASTY breaking ball. The hit that Kimbrell gave up that gave the Tigers the win, was not a bad pitch at all. Sometimes you just have to give credit to the other guy and he took a good fastball right on the inside corner at the knees and went inside out to left field. Why is Brothers still on this team? He sucks. I blame him totally for this loss. I hate Brothers.

God, the Tigers are horrible.

That' there is the deathknell for him in Chicago! You cannot be broadcasting in Chicago or representing Chicago if you do not know what the Curly shuffle is!

WOW JD SAYING 'ARMPIT FART' on the Air firing back!

This fucking Boog guy sucks and is annoying as shit. Especially when they have the camera on him he has to make these stupid gestures.

Making this team interesting can't be easy.

Oh bullshit. What the fuck do you know? Half the people watching the game have never seen a full Three Stooges episode. This isn't Jack Brickhouse talking about what a young dynamic talent Scot Thompson is going to become.

i guarantee you if you are from chicago whatever generation you know about the curly shuffle! it was an insult to every past and present chicagoan!

Nothing. There are worthless things in this world like a turd in your toilet bowl. HY is less than worthless, but unfortunately we cannot flush the toilet and make him go away.

JD had references to both Rick Reuschel and Bert Hooton today. The latter was on a small but funny rant that the Statcast folks don't know what the hell a knuckle-curve is and keep on calling pitches knuckle-curves. There are enough hat tips to long time Cub fans.

I enjoyed that exchange. There is a lot of pitch jargon and many pitches are hybrids of two other varieties. The slurve came up a few times too.

Ya it was good because it was JD. not Boogs. Boogs had no clue and shut his
Mouth and let JD talk.

Boogs always trying to hog the telecast trying to prove himself as some wild and crazy stupid gimmick that works in espn but not local.

Oh did you steal the neighbors cable to watch today ??

Two unlikely combatants.

Let me guess, you want Mike North doing PBP. Fucking imbicile.
