  4. Don’t worry guys, we’re all doomers though and everything is peaches and cream! It’s fine!! Stop worrying!

  14. If you can’t find it at Binnys it’s probably not worth drinking. So many toasts to the other teams lately.

  18. This team is exceeding my imaginations of what type of collapse they were gonna have. We may be on the way to 83 wins again.

  19. Man. This is a loser ass team with loser ass energy. Good thing we extended that dumb fucking Jed Hoyer guy.

  21. The Chicago Pretenders. What a joke lol football season is upon us! Goodbye cubbies, see y’all next year

  22. Seeing Palencia sit there on the bench at the end with that vacant stare at least makes me feel like some of the players care about how awful they’re playing.

  24. Brewers swept the pirates 33-6, 4 days ago. Illinois has to rival Arizona for sports failure states

  25. The boos need to be louder in the park after a game like that. The ownership and team needs to hear that the fans are pissed directly from them! Philly or NYC fans wouldn’t be up with this crap!

  28. Tucker costing himself millions of dollars a day at this rate. He needs multiple games off at this point to get his head on straight.

  29. #BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  31. 2 runs today! At that pace we might manage 5 in our 13-5 loss coming up against the brewers!

  32. 18 straight losses when trailing at any point in the game now. It feels impossible that this is the same team that had the best record in all of baseball like a month ago.

  38. Holding myself to what I said in the early GDT: If we lose tomorrow (and effectively the series), I ain’t watching another game *unless* it’s the postseason.

  39. How much more humiliating can it get? Giving up 3 runs and losing to a team who spent the week getting absolutely skullfucked in Milwaukee. Every member of the pitching staff would be justified in publicly motherfucking every person in the lineup. Have to start calling it what it is. It’s not a slump, the offense is just fucking dogshit.

  40. How?!!! The brewers put 12 runs on these guys 2 nights in a row and we can only get 2 runs? God this offense is so broken.

  41. I’ve never had such animosity towards a Cubs player than I do Danby Swanson. Dude is the least clutch player on the planet.

  42. I know this seems to be like a yearly thing where we start well and then fall off tragically. But this time it felt different. O well back to being irrelevant. Being a fan of this team is pain and I should get used to it.

  44. Goddamn every little bit of “we’re coming back” spark gets immediately destroyed in terrible ways.

    I’m holding out hope, but damn, we need somebody to step up and lead in the dugout.

    Tuck needs to change his swing I feel.

    We gotta do more than trade runs with a last place fucking team 20 games under .500. We gotta win these next 2 solidly and carry momentum into the 5 game Brew series and steal their devil magic. Reverse the curse!

  45. Now suddenly the brewers will start losing because they’re playing the reds just to screw the cubs more in the playoff race

    Then they’ll be hot for the 5 game set starting Monday

  48. Pretty ready to blow this core the fuck up and watch literally any other groups of hitters. Thankfully it’s happening sooner than later.

    If Caissie isn’t starting in right tomorrow, Counsell is a dogshit manager.
