Cubs vs Pirates @ 1:20

Worst start in over 20 years, they need to win this series. Kris Bryant has been useless. Darvish will get booed with another shitty outing. I expect nice start from Lester today and Cubs win.

I'd rather have Almora in CF and Zobrist at second, Jhey in RF.

Let's see more anger Joe when things go wrong. Maybe start demanding more from these guys, instead of the constant praising.

When Lester and Heyward are your two offensive bright spots, you know you are having a rough go of it.

How bad was that shot that Taillon took on the Rizzo liner?

Hughes and Coomer made it seem pretty bad, but then Taillon stayed in the game.
