Cubs 2023 Season
- Status
Words can't describe how angry I am right now. Call me a quitter but I have given up.
Whelp, that should about do.it.
The funny thing is that the Cubs were winning 7-0 in that game in 1998.
The big difference is that they won Game 163 and got into the playoffs that year. No Game 163 this year. They would just go home.
And thanks for your help Sox. Decided to just have Robert sit out the rest of the season. I hope you lose 100 games the next 10 years.

According to Ross, yes.
Last time through Stroman opened & Assad took over. The bullpen has just been decimated the last couple weeks. No Alzolay, Fullmer, Leiter, or Boxberger. (though no great loss)
I have been a die hard Cubs fan forever. 2016 was awesome and I probably watched 90% of the games. I no longer get the Cubs games because of our TV provider and they are off my radar. I’ll check the scores and will watch if it’s a national game but my attention is elsewhere. I can relate to those feelings with college football though. Can ruin your weekend!
I'm right there with you. When you watch a team every day for 6 months you get emotionally invested. It made me mad that I allowed myself to toss and turn all of last night but I just couldn't help it.
If you are a fan of Chicago professional sports, these are the darkest times that I can remember.
Thank God we had our moment in the sun in 2016. Just think if that never happened.

pretty much agree these are dark times in all pro sports in town
the Hawks have at least something to get excited about now, but the team will still stink for awhile. Their period of 3 Cups in 6 years is ancient history
yup.
Just pretty sad that we were not able to turn that into a "little up period" where maybe we had at LEAST one more bite at the apple in mid Oct.
Shades of 1985 Bears
Marlins lose game 1 of the doubleheader and have an unfavorable pitching matchup in game 2. Reds down 3-0. Beat the Braves tonight and maybe we can forget yesterday happened.
The pen is completely toast. They’re all either exhausted or hurt.
Glad I didn't watch.

Looks like Miami wins game two…

Exhausted, hurt or just plain bad…
I've had this post in the back of my mind since I wrote it. I hate that i always feel this way about my favorite baseball club. I hate even more that they (almost) always meet my expectation. The last couple days have been way too on brand.
The Cubs could be eliminated tonight if they lose and the Marlins win.
As awful as this last month has been, I’m still happy that they’re still alive going into the last series of the season even if their chances are between slim and none.

Yep, a good year overall. Feels like we’ve identified some possible starting pitching for next year. We need to add some bullpen arms. And maybe this late season experience for PCA has been beneficial. On to next year.
Not Cubs related, but what did Gabe Kepler do to get fired by SF with 3 games left in season? They couldn’t wait until end of season?

there is pretty much likely more to that story
Chicago baseball fans on both sides of town can ponder a question...
Is it better to be in contention up to the very end -- and then MISS OUT? Like the North Siders could.
OR,
Is it better to just have a completely awful year and fall out of contention in May and not even toy with the affections of your fans? Like the South Siders have had to put up with for yet another season of loss and misery.
