Cubs @ Brewers, 29 and 30 June

[funkster]

Jake has plenty of time to give it right back.

Nothing like walking in a run.  It's safe to say Arrieta is no longer good.

Arrieta got out of that mess



Loaded up bases but only one run scored

[jeffy]

I missed the fireworks.

[BigBoy]

Tear it all down, this is pathetic.

[jeffy]

Aye yai yai....

[1060Ivy]

Remember when the Cubs had a good bullpen

[Butcher]

Wow. I just checked in on this game. What in god's name is going on in this series?

Brewers have the Cubs number this season.  Cubs are 3-8 - about to be 3-9 - against the Brewers. 

 

Brewers management and coaches know the Cubs weaknesses, developed a serious game plan and corresponding roster to beat the living shit out of this squad. 

 

BTW, I thought that starting Hendricks and Davies back to back would be a disaster - and Davies pitched a great 4 innings only giving up 2 hits - so what the hell do I know about baseball.

About to be 6 games back with July upon us. Time to blow this shit up. I don't give a rat's ass about Marquee ratings or losing the core. Time for a new direction.

Guessing Nance really misses that Spider Tack.

Kind of where I'm at. I think that stretch of good play changed everyone's perception of this team. They really aren't that team (they aren't this bad, either --  they're somewhere in between). But they're definitely not WS contenders. There's no point in being an average team -- far better to blow it up and try to rebuild.

Yep. Im done with this team. Enough is enough.

It boggles the mind how Hoyer could have thought Arietta was a viable option this year. As if he was going to find something by putting on the Cubs uniform. Just nuts.

[jeffy]

I honestly don't think he expected much more than for Jake to be an innings-eater, but sadly he can't even do that.
