I wouldnt waste my time and effort going down there for a game even if they were really good seats for free and someone gave me a voucher for $250 for "treats"

I have whined about this before, but I have tickets for 4 people for 2 games in Miami. Who will be on the team by then?
They invite people to bring noise makers and musical instruments to the games. :mad:🤬😵‍💫
The company will be good. There will be ice skating for my daughter and I during the visit. Nobody else in her family can skate. Grandma isn't a skater. There will be good food including Flannigan's.

Are the Cubs ever going to turn this around? No pitching. No timely hitting. Season over?

Well, any hope for the division is over.

Now we move to the wild card. Are they better than San Diego, Philly or Arizona?

They got Philadelphia at a great time during the year. They were awful and the Cubs took advantage (to their credit). The Philly team that was expected to show up is officially here.

San Diego....who know with those guys. They have a stacked roster but, just like last year, they're spinning their wheels.

Arizona.....meh, not overly impressed by them.

That said, at 5-18 over the last 23....cue the Jim Mora clip. Playoffs???

This time a month ago, we(briefly) had the best record in all of baseball and looked like a legit World Series contender. Now, I'n reading articles wondering if that seat is getting a lil toasty for Counsell. Crazy the difference a month can make.

I like Counsell, but when we kicked David Ross to the curb for him, I wasn't really sold on the idea that he was THAT much better than Ross that we basically yeet a beloved member of the World Series team to get him. Yes, Counsell has only been The manager for 2 1/3 seasons, but I remember when he was hired, so many people were saying how the Cubs were instant World Series contenders for the next decade just by dint of him being the manager.

If this collapse continues, I'm gonna start thinking the Brewers sent him here to sabotage us lol. Not really, but the results compared to the expectations set when he was hired have been mid at best...

That the Brewers rocket ship has kept on accelerating upwards without him makes the Counsell hiring look that much worse.

Did PCA not even chase the ball he lost in the fog just now? We got some club house contagion going on. I had to turn the game off. My Jose Cardinal poster is even shedding tears.

I’m getting really tired of the “Oh my, I can’t believe that ball left the park” look on Imanaga’s face.
