It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

I would have thrown Lester out there again to get the taste of that last start out of his mouth.

Trade should re energize this team plus test at the break. If they don't take 2/3 then it'll be more of the same in the 2nd half.

Non-Sox interleague is a crime against God and man.

Quintana makes 2 of his first three starts against AL teams

Sweep

I don't have hopes that they'll win more than 1 here.

- 2017 Jake is going to get torched in that ballpark. He can't keep the ball down, and the Orioles are the AL team built for "2-run homers or bust."
- Jimenez is all over the map. It's critical that the Cubs get to him by the second inning so he'll self-destruct. Otherwise if he gets into a groove, it'll be a long day.

So far, so good.

4 so far in the first nice

Need a sweep. Good start through 2 innings.

Sorry ... I was unavoidably detained .....

Wow,they SHOULD have started Lester. What's the point after 4.5 days off of going with your 5th starter?

It's 8-2 in the 4th and you pull Montgomery for Grimm, who gets shelled.

Nice move Maddon. Let the starter stay in the fucking game.

And Grimm can get his sorry ass back to Iowa.

Zach Britton is the nastiest mother fucker in baseball.

Only the Cubs could turn an 8-2 romp into a game. #ThatsCub.

Butler should be the 5th starter. Monty should be on the pen where he was pretty good last year and can effectively eat innings when the starter shits his pants in the 2nd inning. Butler is so wild at times he will be awful in the pen. Grimm should be taken out back and put down. Terrible night for the hippest excuse maker in the biz.

I have really grown to hate Maddon.

Rut Roh Raggy

Tie game. Fuck you joe. Make another excuse for this uninspired sac of shit team.

How in the fuck do you use 6 pitchers when you are up 8-0?

+1.

What's all this "oh the bullpen is good" bullshit?

Now the bullpen is toast for Jake tomorrow, which means that Jake will give up 6 in the 4th and Butler will have to pitch the last four innings.

This team won't make the playoffs again until rossy is the manager. He apparently ran the show while douchebag ordered road trip costumes and entertained the press.

I saw that when it happened and I still laugh just as hard every time.
