Adding a legit, in-house frontline starter via injury recovery in Woodruff has been a huge factor (not to mention Misiorowski being electric). Megill and Uribe at the back end of the bullpen have been lights out.

Yes, putting Woodruff and Misiorowsi into an already hot rotation was nice. Bullpen hasn't missed a beat.

Jeez Brewers win again...I'm starting to think they may actually finish 118-44.
Lost a bit in the malaise of the summer has been how good Shaw and Horton have been since the ASB.

I read in the game recap that Amaya was carted off the field in the eighth after an ankle injury running to first

Cubs calling up Cassie and he will play tomorrow according to Jesse Rogers.
I'm guessing PCA is going to get a few days to a week to get his head straightened out? This kid isn't coming up to ride the bench.
It was pretty ugly. They're calling it a sprained ankle, but I'm wondering if there's an MRI in his future.
I personally would sit Happ who has been terrible all year
I'm hearing DH. Maybe Seiya sitting against Sherzer.
I’d guess they don’t “sit” anyone, but rather use Owen to give rest to OF and DH with him playing 4-5 games a week.
Owen Caissie looks like Rusty Staub for all of us old timers.
that Happ, Tucker back to back strikeout is just brutal and the perfect glimpse into the last month or so.
Another day of Matt Shaw and Michael Busch being our entire offense... sad.
I mean, it is so frustrating. The decision to try to sign Tucker is getting very easy.
Time to clear this roster of all the losers. Happ, Suzuki, Swanson, etc. None of these guys are ever helping this team win a world series. Start over with the new guys and build around them.
Been a while since the hitting coach was the made the goat. 15 hitting coaches since 2012 and now I believe. Overdue to make another meaningless change there.
Incompetence hired by incompetence. When it's the same terrible decision makers up top, only the names of the scape goats change
I haven't watched the last 4 or 5 games and I don't know what got into me to watch today. That 8th inning put me over the top. I'm done.
Ian Happ couldn't do any worse if he went to the plate with a cup of coffee.
I know this is a meatball reaction, but at this point, I don't want them to have the satisfaction of making the playoffs. Especially Ricketts, Hoyer and Hawkins.

Now I remember what it was like to be a Cub fan in the 50's and 60's. But I don't remember Ernie, Ron or Billy being this bad and disappointing.

While I don't think the Reds will make a big run to knock the Cubs out of the wildcard, it's slowly entering the orbit of possibility.
0-8 RISP. What else is new?
Not for nothing, as I'm just a young pup at 35-years-old, but weren't Banks, Santo, Williams, Hundley, and Jenkins all members of the greatest Cubs collapse of all time in 1969?
Lol. I know the feeling. When i was a kid in the early 70’s watching the Cubs during their annual June swoon, i would throw temper tantrums during their long losing streaks, once i threw my baseball glove in frustration which of course landed on the dining room table and knocked one of my mom’s favorite plates off, breaking it. Sorry mom, collateral damage. She was not happy. The f’ing Cubs will do that to you. At least now I’m not breaking things.
Looking forward to football.
