  1. Boycott Wrigley Fields now! Da loveable losers forevers cubbies gots massacreds. Dis team gots no heart. Da cubbies b da worsters team in da history of sports. Fo sho m hu. Cubbies moves tos Dalton an b Dalton Duds. Facts. 🤘🃏🎸🥃🍺🤤💩🤮🪦🦛🙉🦨🤘🤪😎🌛👍🇺🇸😂🤣

  2. Who is ever intentionally not ready? The single highest priority a manager should have is ensuring his Team is Ready to play. The Cubs get a C- for the series. Counsell gets an F.

  3. Hate in game interviews, especially Jed Hoyer. Wish Boog would just call the game. Talk about the players, and the situation at hand. J.D. is great….does not over talk.

  4. God I love you guys. As a Brewers fan I was so surprised this off season that everyone was talking about how the Brewers would not do it again because they are fluky or that they aren't this good. They've been the same for years. Why would it change? Wishful thinking? Thanks for keeping it real.

  5. Moises Ballesteros needs to be starting every day and CATCHING at Iowa. With Carson Kelly '27 being an option, Ballesteros' bat value is as a catcher. PCA should bunt once a game every game to keep defenses honest. I like PCA bunting.

  6. The more games the Cubs lose that they should win is gonna be pressure on Counsell. He is not a good manager and he is proving it again.

  7. I say it’s exactly the time to FREAK OUT!!!!! Playing the rest of the season seems like a waste of time at this point. Then a lock out in 2027? What are we gonna do?

  8. Don't look now, but Owen Cassie is batting .500, with 4 RBI's. So once again, Jed trades away a 23 year old, future all-star right fielder for an average pitcher who is past his prime.😮

  9. Cubs are so far behind teams like the brewers just from an overall franchise standpoint. Starting from the top of the majors all the way down to international youth scouting. Sams been saying that for quite some time and he’s spot on.

  10. Bregman hit 2 homers ….. PCA almost hit one to dead center …… no Suzuki yet and shotah did what he always does …. Give up a home run and pitch well the rest of the time ….. it will be fine

  11. TheCubs will be just good enough for fans to sing “Go Cubs Go” a lot at Wrigley Field…maybe make the playoffs, only to lose….the Ricketts will make a ton of money and all will be well….

  12. I'm a Cub fan, and even I feel like defending the Brew Crew. I'm getting tired of the constant excuses of how they "fail upward" winning the division each year. They have absolutely dominated the NLC each year since 2018, with the exception of a couple years. Give them their flowers (or round of beer). They earned it. All I keep hearing from Marquee is a constant reminder of how much Cubs ownership & front office have FAILED SPECTACULARLY compared to the Brewers. So they need to stop glazing themselves. I'm over it.

  13. Do you guys even make 100k a year combined? And you think ur worthy of critiquing guys who make 20 million a year. Get a life you losers
