FUCK YOU JOE JOHN

Fixed.

Nope. Lackey shouldn't even be in there. Joe pulled a Matheny-Wacha and saved a closer for a save opportunity that never existed. Fuck him

I agree with that. But Lackey should have focused less on the "gamesmanship" with Chris Taylor, and more, on you know, getting him out, and not surrendering the Cubs fucking 9th walk of the night (which is nuts).

Nice pitching, John.

So they're down 0-1.  So what.  Who cares.

That ain't shit. Reminds me of that scene in The Blues Brothers:

Nun: The archbishop wants to sell this building to the Board of Education.
Elwood: What will happen to you?
Nun: I'll be sent to the missions--Africa, Latin America...Korea.
Jake: Five grand? No problem. We'll have it for you in the morning. Let's go.

What are the odds that the front office is scouring potential free agents this moment to overhaul this dumpster fire?

Yeah hopefully giving Davis/Strop/Carl's Jr...and uh.../Duensing a day off will help.

Boy, let's throw money at a mercurial position subject to massive swings of variance.  Throwing money at all but the very best relievers is as clever as trading for Justin Wilson.

Justin Wilson will probably be awesome next year.

He'd better be. Hell, they're allowed one letdown game after that insane Game 5. Today, shitty bullpen is shitty. Be better tomorrow.

You really PANKed that one. Nice.

Justin Wilson will probably be awesome next year. And we could always give three year contracts to Bobby Howry and Scott Eyre again that was cool.

Pretty sure Lackey is in to throw at Puig.

Good to see Rondon is back.

Jr Dong!

I always thought "Albuquerque" was an underrated Neil Young song. Seems like the right place to mention that.

Joe mixing things up again. I don't hate this:

RF Jay
3B Bryant
1B Rizzo
C Contreras
CF Almora
SS Russell
LF Schwarber
2B Baez
P Quintana

Corey Seager left off the Dodgers roster due to injury. Wow.

-Three straight 90+ win seasons (first time since 1928-1930)
-Three straight postseason appearances (first time since 1906-1908)
-Three straight years winning at least one postseason series (not done since...ever)
-Best record in baseball since start of 2015

Oh and for what it's worth even after losing on purpose for the first 3 years of the Epstein Era the Cubs are now well over .500 in his tenure as GM anyway (492-479).

I guess this is that "sustained success" thing they were talking about.

How's this for keeping it going for a bit...

C- Contreras (age 25)
1B - Rizzo (age 27)
2B Baez (Age 24)
SS - Russell (Age 23)
3B - Bryant (Age 25)
LF - Schwarber (Age 24)/Happ (Age 22)
CF - Almora (Age 23)
RF - Heyward (Age 27)

That's fucking awesome. It's amazing to think that at one point we were sorta intrigued about a roster that featured Brian Dopirak and Ryan Harvey. I wonder if Brian ever took the advice re: the Bloomingdale's executive training program?

...I still like Bryce Harper.  Sean Doolittle is also ok.  The rest of their team can go fuck themselves.

Upon further review, Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg are also acceptable.

I like that albino dipshit Adam Lind because he bailed out a struggling Wade Davis by grounding into a first pitch DP.

Really liked how that broke up the Ernie Johnson narrative on how great Adam Lind is.
