Nobody could be bothered to start a thread because, let's face it, the Marlins suck.

But the Cubs have snuck into first place, at least for a few hours. Good outing by Taillon coming off the IL, they needed that.

Imanaga pitching with the wind blowing out on Saturday should be interesting.

Baseball is popular on the board. The Marlins suck, so the Cubs fans are not getting overly chesty about beating a horrible team. Hoping they take two today, which is always tough.

What the hell is going on with the strength program there? Now Happ is down with a hammy. Its like everyone either has an oblique or hammy issue. That is literally the only reason they exist is to keep those types of injuries to a minimum yet everyone is blowing up.

I wish they hadn't traded Nelson Valezquez for that pile of shit Caus. Valezquez looks to be a solid 280/290 / 20HR hitter

didn't like the trade from the start - kept updating velazquez' stats after the trade. they basically gave him away for free.

cubs experts telling us that there was no room on the roster for him.....a club so full of talent that it failed to make the modern day expanded playoffs.

wasn't a fan of the ferris-busch deal, but hoyer looking good on that - so far. ferris still having control issues. if anyone can fix him, it's the dodgers.

The Marlins put yesterday's starter on the IL after the game with "shoulder fatigue" which is a nice way of saying "he sucks and we need another reliever."

I will be very disappointed if the Cubs don't win at least 2 of the 3 games between today's DH and tomorrow. Hendricks is pitching Sunday which is ominous, but I think they can outslug the Marlins then.

Cubs being super patient today. Nice start to the game. Would like to see them break it open here.

Busch hit 300 vs Lefties in the minors so why is he sitting two games in a row? Stupid.

No sir, I was clearly told he is worth minimum 10 more wins.

Busch shouldn't be in a platoon.

It's not a platoon. It's a double-header.

Looks like a really shitty cold and grey day to be playing baseball. And they have to play 2. Hopefully the Cubs can close out game #1 at least.

Ouch ouch ouch.

I said it numerous times already. Alzolay has to go. He fucking sucks!

They better get somebody thats able to pitch in the ninth inning without giving up gopher balls. This will be what , three times in the ninth now he’s pissed leads away?

Alozay sucks and a garbage ass lineup by Counsell. Gary Fucking Cooper shouldn't be starting over Busch

U hate to C see it

They should have used they money they spent on Hendricks' option to go get Kenley Jansen.

Third best record in NL. You wouldn't know it reading Caller Boob or Chet Coppocks frozen fries posts.

Maddon nailed the problem years ago. There's way way too much prep time for a game. It breeds anxiety which isn't good for your health.

I have an extra for today...on the way down there now.

Damn wish I knew earlier. I am headed down to Chicago (Rosemont) around 2:30 for a flight out tomorrow. I could have easily made the game.
