Cubs need to find a way to score some runs. Can't afford to lose this game because you know the Brewers will probably win tonight. Seems like thats all the Brewers do lately is win. Fricken annoying! They just won't go away!

Great performance from Hamels. It's a shame the offense has once again shit the bed thus far.

Holy fuck is this a frustrating game. Detriot is not going to beat the Brewers. The Cubs have to find a way to win this game.

I mean maybe i'm just being pedantic here but the reason I don't like using "ace" in that manner is an ace is suppose to trump all. But not every team in the league even has an ace in my definition. For example, if you were to take the two pitchers in this game, I think you can make the case if you have to win one game you'd rather Hamels and he's not the cubs #1 pitcher.

And I agree I'd rather have Flaherty on the mound than Mikolas.

Wrong again Beck.

Bottom 9.

I would love Javy to walk this off and knock the cards out.

Gotta love when our players hit the ball right at the infielders.

It's frustrating that the wind was blowing it. But you have to adjust. Overall that was a terrible performance from the offense today. Very good chance they just cost themselves the division. Turns out all those games in the early to mid part of the year where the cubs looks uninterested/lost did matter. Go figure.

Some people are d-bags. And some people pride themselves on being D-bags

They also pride themselves on being an alt that would rather make a useless point than have their team win. Just some incredibly moronic people in this world.

Not sure that's how I'd sum this up. I thought the offense played fine today just got poor results. It happens. There were a number of hard hit balls right at guys. There were a number of warning track shots that on another day maybe leave the field. Cards got 2 runs on 3 hits. Cubs got 1 run on 5. #baseball
