    Thinking double digit runs again today.


    And they ended up needing every one of them.  Nearly blew a 10-3 lead.  And once the Twins pulled to within one, Cubs got the leadoff batter on third with no outs and couldn't get him home.     

    Bullpen has a ton of guys on the DL.  Thankfully, Morrow was pretty much nails today.  Getting Edwards back would help a lot.  Hopefully his AAA rehab goes well and he's back in Chicago soon.       

     

  2. Entertaining game tonight -- too bad about the result.  Hendricks is a shell of his '16 self.  The second inning in particular was like batting practice.  When his control is off, he's got nothing to stump hitters this season when he falls behind in the count.

    It seemed like it was 50/50 Cubs fans in Dodger Stadium tonight.  Chicago definitely represented well.

     

  3. Yeah, '16 is starting to look like an aberration for Hendricks.

    The Reds are also slapping Quintana around in the first couple of innings today.  Left the bases loaded both times and must be pissed at having only scored 1.  

    And now Quintana grounds into a DP with only 1 strike on him and a runner on first.  Why the hell is he hitting away in that situation?

  4. Shoulda been a sweep.  Oh, well.  I'll take 2 out of 3 from LA, which was playing well heading into this series.  Now need a repeat performance when the Cubs come out here next week.

    Monty went from tradebait to untradeable really quick.

    Damn right.

    Cubs at least salvaged a split in the nightcap on a walkoff single by Almora.

  6. Certainly not end of the world.  We're not even at the All-Star break.  It was just a frustrating way to lose a game -- a game that should have been won. 

    Plus, between this game and the Horns getting bounced from the CWS, it's been a shitty sports day.

  7. Goddammit.  This team has been heinous lately in terms of RISP.  All kinds of opportunities today to pad the lead against LA but shat the bed, and then Wilson coughs up the lead.  Fuck me.

    Buddy fly fishing in Montana -  Texts me last week and wants to know  if I want some Blanton's -  he had wandered into a liquor store that had 6 CASES.  He bought two cases and delivered one to my front Door this afternoon.  Happy Fathers Day indeed.  

    Now that is a friend.
