There goes my joyful positive. Even when Arriota pitches a good game this team doesn'the help him...

Whatever "good game" he had going totally got erased by the inexcusable sin of walking the 7 and 8 hitters to open the 8th.  I hope it's good for Theo and company to have instant feedback showing that the Chapman trade was really, really dumb, but this one is on Jake.

Twice these assholes have had Familia bases loaded, 0 outs and done jack shit.  If they don't win playoff games by 3+, they're fucked in the close ones.

You're right. Their failure to overcome the most dominant closer in baseball right now is somehow indicative to their general inability to win close ones.

That'd be the 11-15 record in 1-run games...not helped by these two failures.

Great decision by Joe to go with choking Hector in the non-save situation, because he's been so good in those this year.  Oh, wait...

But whatever, this loss is on Montero being less than useless and Heyward's terrible baserunning.

Coming into tonight he had a 1.54 ERA and a 0.686 WHIP in non save situations. Go back to your cave

Okay - to be more precise, in non-save situations with the game tied or one-run saves.  He's been good in non-save situations in blowouts/mop up duty and with a multi-run lead, but he's rank dogshit when you need nails...he's 6/10 in one-run save situations and has blown 2/3 situations where he's pitched with the game tied.

So wait....you mean he gives up runs some times? The fucking nerve

Disproportionately at all the wrong times...

What the fuck's going on with our starters and the 2nd inning blowouts recently?

Pretty safe to say that a Cubs starter will not be NL Pitcher of the Month in July.  Which is too bad for them, because it comes with a nice parking spot.

Another second inning from hell.  2 runs so far on 1 hit.  It's all falling apart.

Widespread Panic...

Not complete without:

There is no Dana.  Only Zobrist.

Jayson Werth is this year's frontrunner for the Gregory Polanco Outstanding Achievement in Outfielding Award.

Bryce Harper did a good job entering the running today.

Pittsburgh Pittsburgh Pittsburgh.  Fucking sweep the fucking Pirates in Pittsburgh Pittsburgh Pittsburgh.  Such a beautiful ballpark wasted on such a cheap franchise in Pittsburgh Pittsburgh Pittsburgh.  Eat one of their stupid sandwiches with fries and slaw while watching the Cubs sweep in Pittsburgh Pittsburgh Pittsburgh.

Enough Pittsburgh for everyone?  God the last 5 games the Cubs have played there have been so, so, so much fun.

Look out, pitchers. That's two Kris bombs in two days.

And now we get two in one day.

Bump, much needed.

In terms of score, not so necessary, but 2 in 2 days is encouraging.
