Thanks Robin for leaving a starter in too long once again. Shark struggled all night and was past 100 pitches. If I saw that HR coming, why can't our leader? It looks like he plans to leave him in longer......might as well let it reach 5-0 before you go to the pen. Make a comeback impossible dumbass.

Wow Beckham... that was nice.
I still can't believe we haven't signed him beyond this year yet. I still hope he's around for the next manager to utilize over the next 10 years.

True troll job. No one believes this team can do that. That 7 game win streak was a mirage
If our management didn't believe the team could do it, we would have been a seller at the deadline.

45-10?!!!! What has this team shown you that leads you to believe we can do that?
We recently won 7 games in row. If we win 6 out of every 7 the rest of the way, we'll go better than 45-10.

We have 0.0% right now to come back and win the division let alone make a f***ing wild card. This team sucks. Actually you're in fantasy land pal.
If we go 45-10 over the final stretch, we'd only need KC to go 31-23 in the final 2 months to pass them. We just can't afford to lose any head-to-head matchups. We gotta get the W and give them a L every time we play.

Is this a serious post?
You think we can afford to lose one or both of these games and still have a chance? Sorry to rain on your fantasy land, but we gotta win these games.
We gotta win tonight and tomorrow if the desire is still there to win the division. A loss either night will likely put us too far beyond the Royals with too little time to catch them.

Danks should have been taken out before the inning started and there would have been nobody on base. Can't keep pushing your luck with a s***ty pitcher and expect good outcomes
Robin even pushes his luck too far with good starters. You have a bullpen for a reason. Use it you dumbass!
After the Cleveland series, this team is definitely not a "seller" anymore. The only question is "are we a buyer?" Do we go out and get a bat? Or do we not mess with the outstanding chemistry this team has developed? I know its dangerous to mess with a roster that is already a World Series contender, but I'd really like to see us add someone who can hit 20 HRs and drive in 50 runs down the stretch. I really think this is the missing link that could insure us the first championship in 10 years. Let's experience the joy of 2005 over again in the coming months!

People refuse to believe that the catching position is bad enough in baseball that we don't have the worst catchers ever.
We've just gotten spoiled over the years with guys like Fisk, Karkovice, and AJ

Haha...If they want Q they better realize they'll be saying bye-bye to some of those "core players" of the Cubs' future.
Start with Bryant and go from there.
