hawk in the building

andre dawson was my favorite cub when i was little because he was the most likely to hit a dinger, this is the only thing i've ever been instinctually right about in my life

Cubs defense sucking hard this inning

Battle of the #5s is a painful thing to watch for both sides.

"Please....just don't gently caress this up too bad..."

I've got a case of malt liquor stashed in the trunk, Mr. Marvin Gaye on the CD. We are gonna get all the way down.

I like how Joe replaces Schwarber in left late for defensive purposes as if his defense isn't better than his offense this season.

Also for real, I like Schwarber. He can maybe be a really good hitter. But he belongs in AAA because he missed an entire season of baseball and needs to get his rhythm back.

the granny owned but it was kind of bad to happen because everyone is saying HE'S BACK after he drilled a complete meatball and he hasn't had a non-dinger hit in weeks

Why not just go to Melancon for two innings? It's not like he's overworked or anything.

gently caress you Bruce Bochy. You're going to Strickland with 2 outs in the 8th? Just bring in the only guy that's not poo poo.

Mark Melancon has the fewest innings pitched of any reliever that was on the roster when the season started. It's asinine to not just use him.

Hell, we'll take him. We'll even throw in a slightly used Rondon.

Montgomery should be a starter but I'm OK riding Eddie Butler for as long as he's competent because having Montgomery in the pen is a nice weapon.
