Oh well. Still in control of our destiny.
It doesn’t get more Cub than clinching a wildcard spot and then immediately getting fucking swept in a four game series.
This whole series sucked
Have to cheer for brewers tomorrow
After clinching the playoffs and popping champagne, this is how you fucking play? What a joke man.
two 0-1 losses in GAPB AND a sweep does not feel good…
Not gonna blame this team for taking their foot off the gas. Too many injuries to be had when you already have the spot
This shit is not acceptable, point blank period. We couldn’t score 1 run today? Anyone who still thinks this team is going to make noise in the playoffs is delusional.
I’ll wait to see how the series with the Mets plays out, but this weekend didn’t exactly fill us with confidence. Impotent offense.
Uhhhhhh yeah kinda fucking concerning.
That was just pitiful. No runs in 2, absolutely dreadful. I’m done with seiya. Mo is better.
Fitting way to end with RISP
Shutout twice to this Reds team is truly something special. A sweep nonetheless, we need to wake the fuck up.
Still hungover from the clinch? Lol
Ok haha very funny Cubs, you can start scoring runs again
Seems they are checked out
This was the biggest punch in the nut series ever. Clinch postseason and immediately showcase we will be out after 2 games at this rate
As the kids say, this team’s mid
What a POS offensive showing this series. 7 total runs scored in FOUR games bookended by two 1-0 shutouts. All 6 hits today were singles
I really didnt care all that much about the result of this series going in, but you know, I don’t know that I loved that. And I’m not sure but I think that may have either secured or all but secured the tiebreaker for the padres.
I don’t even know what to say
Absolutely fucking pathetic showing. You let a division rival into the playoffs as you get shutout. Have some god damn pride.
RISP continues to kill the Cubs.
Yeah I don’t think Dustin Kelly is coming back next year. This offensive downturn is crazy.
Watch the Padres catch the Cubs on the final day. Or probably even less. That’s Cub.
Well that was a really nice 4 days off. Excited to get back to baseball on Tuesday.
Even though they’re in, it just doesnt have the same feel as it did in years past. Like you know they just don’t really have it together
idk what’s more shitty… us getting swept or the brewers clinching the division bc we lost…
Some light reading for the boys on their plane ride home

4 game series and we cant even get 1? Tf man
How bad the Reds needed this series. Did someone from the Reds pay the Cubs? Sure looked like it.
Definitely a big bummer of a series, but I’m not THAT worried… yet… still have very winnable games at home
OMG it sounds like Shaw was in AZ today – CC: “at a funeral for a friend”
Flush and move on
