True. Also why he's apparently terrible at calling games.

His defiant attitude towards the pitch clock is pretty annoying too. Just get in the fucking box and quit being a little biatch.

I agree, but just have a bad feeling about this series, and Montgomery was ridiculous against us last year since the trade.

Interesting take on why we are fans of floundering teams/organizations.
Yes article is about the Mets but Cubs fans should be able to relate as …
“In life and in sports, people want to experience the rapture of being fully alive, with struggle and defeat and misery and resurrection, heroism and enchantment and those short and misleading winning streaks that spark the flames of irrational optimism all over again.”

It's been a fun few weeks, and I'm happy we're suddenly buyers. I don't know that the Cubs make the playoffs, but if we're in it until the end, that'll be sweet.

Surprised they can’t find a veteran lefty for bullpen
