So, I’m not really sold on the Cubs yet…after all, we’re only about 26% though the season. Lots of baseball to be played.
Good to see the bats wake up today in St. Louis. But what about the relief pitching so far?

Cut Pedro Strop! And I’d say trade Jon FUCKING Lester, but who’d be stupid enough to take that contract?
Oh yeah, I forgot.

It’s better, at least so far. Still nowhere near where it needs to be. Hoping they acquire someone in July. They need a left-handed specialist and someone to replace Strop in the setup role (or replace Soto with Soto moving down to setup).

Warren just gave up a three run homerun to make the score 9-7 after he took over with a 9-4 lead.
So, in answer to your question; no this team does not have the bullpen arms to challenge for a pennant or a world series. Strop, Warren, Richard (“spit”), and Cahill are crap shoots every time they take the mound. Arrieta is starting to revert back to his old self. Lucky for him that every time he pitches he gets a five to six run lead. And, as Chucky so eloquently puts things, Lester has been a total bust for the money they’re paying him!
This team is far from a sure thing this fall.

Ha! Hilarious! After posting the above, Woody, another “great bullpen arm” just gave up a home run! Now it’s 9-8! Now it’s Grimm’s turn to give up the lead and the game!
This team is still a joke!

Bottom of the ninth Ernie. Two on, no outs. Color me a pessimist. I think it’s over.
Hope I’m wrong.

Pessimism? With the Cubs? No, reality! A closer who can’t close, what a concept! Only with the Cubs. Another in the line of Carlos Marmol clones.

Hey Chucky, Rondon wiggled out of it by the skin of his teeth. That’s unacceptable for a closer. I know it can’t always be 1-2-3, but this clown, like Marmol and Gregg and Farnsworth (remember him?), makes it “interesting” way too many times.
May 25, 2016 at 9:19 pm
Yeah, that’s true Ernie. Maybe he need to punch out a fan and bust up his hand. Farnsworth had quite a temper back then.
And I am glad I was wrong about them losing the game. That got a little too “interesting” for my taste

I don’t want interesting…beat-down is preferred.
May 26, 2016 at 12:55 pm
Uninteresting would be a nice change, and it might be….interesting.
Good to see the White Sux reverting back to what they really are……just plain bad.

Fucking goddamned Strop. Lose that motherfucking ass burglar before he loses another fucking game. I’m at the point now where I wouldn’t trust him to protect a ten run lead. Useless bag of fuck.

Clayton Richard is doing his very best to waste a strong performance by Arrieta….

PATHETIC bullpen.

Paging Mr. Grimm and Mr. Richard….tick tock…tick tock…tick tock.
