  1. Why are the Cubs, my favorite team, losing games? is it because they don’t like me?

  2. 2nd worst record in baseball over the last 30 games and 4th worst record in baseball overall. But they’re just unlucky right. Every day that this team stays together is a day wasted

  3. I love how this team tries to give its fans hope and then immediately crushes it

    Fans get on their feet in the 9th and then immediately strike out and have to leave made me audibly laugh

    So indicative of the whole season after 11-6

  4. Something has to change. I don’t know what it is but something needs to change

  5. Time to play everyone’s favorite pastime:

    WHEN DID YOU TURN OFF THE GAME!

  6. It’s one thing to be bad, but the effort has fallen off too. Pathetic.

  7. I don’t care – I still like this team.

    The ninth inning double play made me laugh all the way through the commercial break!

    Dansby was so giddy when he was signaling, “out!” Haha.

    Better times are coming.

  8. Other teams are stealing bases while the Cubs have reverted back to playing station to station baseball. When the new rule changes and larger bases, you have to be aggressive on the bases. You have too.

  9. I need to leave this sub for a bit, if I wanted to be in a constant state of negativity and toxicity I’d visit 4chan

  10. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
