cubs

This is already retarded

ROFL

This looks so ugly..least give the logos colour
Mlb better come up with a better gimmick than "black & white xd" next year
Or just let the players wear whatever coloured cleats they want, not like it causes CONFUSION

Go Cubes.

Pay up Binny...?

Do luck stat plays count?

were going to lose again arent we

Bryant infected Rizzo with the error virus. Fuck...

JD thinks vuvuzelas are south american...

Sudacas in shambles

This ump's strike zone is fucking huge

Please don't die Baez...

Rizzo is playing dogass defense today, is he high or s/t?

Also wtf happened tp robel

>Bases loaded
>No outs
Inb4 Walgreens hits a grand slam against the wind.

wow

Why is Quintana wearing a black hat?

Singles, speed, walks, and bad d
This is not baseball in 2019

Hey. What's going on in here?

Pitchers can't wear white hats. Distracts the batters.

same reason a pitcher can't have a white glove

>cusb

>scuba

kek

>scubs

YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

so this certainly means were not winning the division, at this point well probably barely make the wild card and lose there

inb4 gidp

this players weekend thing is pure cancer

>Kemp is married to a chink

DFA and recall Robel Garcia

Nip porn is the best. Not so sure about Nip marriage.

Joe Ross mowing you cucks down with tremendous ease

cuck alert

.....tight AB and kendrick barely caught that
I like the change in approach, let this Joey Ross character throw balls until you get one to single. Its what the washingtons been doing to great success. Winds blowing out, no dingerfest possible

There is a difference between chinese and japanese

Oh OHHHH

>What are you a chicken?

Quintana picking up the pieces.

You don't see much Chinese porn.

If only the offense didn't shit the bed by a minor league pitcher

dont worry our fielding also shit the bed

Ross isn't a Minor League pitcher. He's coming off TJS. He'd been a 4 or 5 starter for the Nats a couple years ago.

Oh wow quinBBana almost pitched a clean inning

No, the state wouldn't allow such an industry and the culture is deeply against it (like korea)
But its out there, mostly amateur and lo-fi. Its possible to make it in non-prc china.

Q's giving up a lot of contact, but a lot of mental errors by the defense has made this a lot worse than it could be.
We'll see if the Cubs can do some more damage against Ross. If they can close the gap, there's a good chance of a comeback against the Walgreens pen.
Unless the offense dies. Again.

Schwarbie in a bomb squad suit!

Based Schwarber dressing up to exterminate the ghetto filth in Chicago

Please don't hit into a double play Javy

More like dressing to exterminate the All You Can Eat buffet.

Ground rule double for Baez!
Rizzo to third!

Here comes Schwarber!

holy fuck schwarber is ugly

wow

Why does this always happen to us?

If Cubs don't get a run this inning I'm gonna shit myself

kemp pls

Why did we trade for Kemp again?

happ pls

that was a ball

Happ better deliver or he gets a ticket back to Iowa.

>Cubs getting umpballed
In other news, the sky is blue.

>striking out 3 times with risp
pathetic

WOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!

Umpball play of the game

It was a strike you fucking cry baby.

Appalling
Good on happ for taking a stand and getting tossed
I dont usually cry umpball but in a spot like that...so dumb

Well?

>Walgreen fags are blind
No wonder you never saw a playoff series win.

>cusbs
AHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHHHHAHAHAAAAHAAHAHAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAH

Post pic of shitty drawers

Finally not matt kemp does something
This might be the worst gamd ive seen this year

Now wtf are they doing to joe...

hi just coming through this thread for a moment to laugh at the cubs

>Cubs getting umpballed in high leverage situation
What else is new.
You know the ump knew he fucked up because of how fast he ejected Happ.

Attached: 1480057925610.jpg (210x240, 18K)

Yeah. That's why we're here. To laugh at the Cubs.

The 8th pitch is in the strike zone according to this guy

And I'm always right.

Just cause an ump calls it a strike doesnt really make it a strike
You can call a man a woman but that doesnt make him a biological woman

The Cubs have to be in a tough spot when putting Chatwood on the mound actually gives me some more confidence

You're wrong, the day of the electronic strike zone is coming. And I'll enjoy using your salt for by french fries.

Don't do that leaf.

UMPBALL

typical umpball

GROUND RULE DOUBLE OF LUCROY!
CASTELLANOS SCORES!
2-5

Let's hope Rizzo's back isn't that bad.

Devilish play by Schwarber

Heck of a play schwarbro

Even Chatwood is fed up with the umpball.

>scoobs

He's safe. I'm right again.

UMPBALL

You ate paint chips as a child, didn't you?

game over

hell of a play, kempbro

I would like to apologize to Tony Kemp-Chieng
His defense has saved a couple runs

here we go again with this shit
>2 on
>2 outs

Why can't we defend against the run and suck at running?

Attached: 1509814085719.gif (540x540, 1.57M)

this is the most torturous game of the year

So let's say this is the wc. I'm assuming Scherzer will start for the nationals but who starts for the cubs?

comeback time!

Cishek!
Worth

Penny!

Attached: cishek.png (350x254, 118K)

I reiterate
Worst game of the year

Hendricks has been the most reliable

comeback time

It won't matter. Cubs can't even beat Joe Ross or Anibal Sanchez.

>Beat them
They were both pulled

Sanchez got the win.

Still got pulled

It's to cull the weak and fairweather fans. The fact you're here with us means you aren't one.

Welp, the cubs pitching wasn't the best, but the offense was awful, yes Happ got umpballed massively in the 4th but there was also the 5th. Where >RISP will be the death of this ballclub.
