Shaking things up. I can only blame Zack for our problems

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

We lost

what is it 22 of the next 30 games are at home? They need to start this off right.

I wont post for a week if Joe lets Javy lead off to find that spark.

Spark? The offense has been just fine. lol

What they need is talent in the pen. They lack that.

 

[chibears55]

Have to win this series, get a good vibe going and then try and win the homestand...

Get to 500 and go from there

yesterday it was fine?

Gotta score double digits in every game to provide a buffer

Im fine with switching it up. I was bad mojo.

Dug themselves in a hole. 5.5 out entering 22 of next 30 at home. Time to dig out..

If their not over 500 after these 30 games,, probably be the end of Maddon

Cubs really making Taillon work for a team with no hits.

 

[zack54attack]

Jon knows how to hit...

 

[chibears55]

Just realized they play a shift for Descalso..
Does anyone hit to all field anymore or is everyone basically a dead pull hitter..

These guys should lessons from Lester..lol

 

[chibears55]

Javy just gave me a flashback to bill Buckner days.. throw bat at ball and get a hit

 

[chibears55]

What an inning...
All because of Lester

 

[SilenceS]

See, all we needed was for me to start the thread.

 

[chibears55]

Lester needs to have a solid inning here and not give the pirates any life..

Hope he not gassed from running the bases
