I was surprised 3AM was called back up. I guess they wanted him to complete his rehab. Nathan is pitching well in his come-back progresses.

I feel good about today with Lester on the mound.

Not looking too good so far.

 

[GK86]

The Homerun Mets.

 

[AgentChris]

Mets bombing Lester into submission.

 

[Choomp]

Man, the bats have woken up. You know when Rivera hits one it's a good day

 

[GK86]

I'm going to start a petition to move the Cubs to the NL East.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

fuck it let the bombs fly.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Pitiful fucking display.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Who are these Mets?

 

[GK86]

Amazing turnaround from the start of the week to the end. They better keep this up through the Nats series.

Anthony DiComo ‏@AnthonyDiComo

They outscored the Cubs 21-8 during the 2015 NLCS. They've outscored them 24-9 this series.

 

[richiek]

Nobody warming up in the Cubs bullpen??

[Choomp]

Thrilled with this display after the Nats series. Chasing someone as good as Jon Lester out of the game like this is definitely good for the team. Still early in this game though, and Noah still hasn't looked like himself

It is a great sign that they are beating the best pitching staff in the NL. And even if the Cubs have stumbled as of late, they are one of the best teams in the NL.

I hope this boosts the Mets confidence. But the Marlins have a funny way of knocking down the Mets when they are on a high.

The Braves and Marlins will honor the nation's servicemen and servicewomen by playing a regular-season game at Fort Bragg tonight, the venerable North Carolina military installation.

The first professional contest of any sport to be played on an active military base, the Fort Bragg Game is slated for 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 3rd, at a newly constructed 12,500-capacity ballpark, Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association jointly announced Tuesday. The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball, ESPN Radio and MLB.TV.

The Braves will be the home team on the new ballfield, which will be converted to a permanent softball facility for those who serve at Fort Bragg as a gift from MLB and the MLBPA through the joint Industry Growth Fund.

I called the Mets sweep on Friday.

For whatever reason, they see food when they see the Cubs pitchers

My cousin who works for MLB is at this game tonight this is a pretty cool deal

Much needed performance after the Nats series.

Just lulling them into a full sense of security surely.

This Cubs collapse is really incredible, wish the Cardinals would've taken advantage and won a few of those 1 run games

Wayne Randazzo ‏@WayneRandazzo

It's amazing how much time a great 30 games can buy. #Cubs were 24-6. If they lose this, 27-24 since that time. Still not close to sweating.

I mean we are still 9 games up with a good number of dudes injured. I think we will be alright lol.
I know they are stuggling lately but you gotta put things in context.

 

[Caja 117]

first game of the season




team mustard:

Lot of season left. I don't expect the Cubs to lose the division, but the Cardinals were up a similar amount of games around this time last year (with more injuries, probably). Didn't clinch the division until the last week of the season.

 

[sf2fanatic]

A lot of great pitchers getting hurt. Latest victim is Grienke

Well yeah, because both the other teams were really good that finished behind them. Unless the Cardinals become more consistent or the Cubs get swept by the Reds this week I'm still not that concerned.

The Mets get three of the worst guys in their staff and skip Fernandez. As long as the bats stay hot we should be good

Damn. Wilmer again. Balls are carrying out like crazy today

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Jeez Metsies...save some of these runs for the next two series! lol

 

[Loco4Coco]

Shouldn't Dee Gordon be joining the Marlins soon?

 

[billeh]

Cubs still on pace for 102 wins.

"Collapse" is real, folks.

 

[PROh1bited]

Happ is on fire today.

Thanks for fixing him Pittsburgh.

 

[Choomp]

End of July. 29th, I think to be exact

 

[CygnusXS]

The Braves and Marlins get a 26th man tonight for some reason. Travel fatigue? I dunno.

 

[GK86]

Thor! #pitchersthatrake

 

[PROh1bited]

Tulo is on fire aswell.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Tulo is on fire aswell.

You just jinxed Tulo!

Bat around 6th, Martin and Donaldson having a good game.

 

[GK86]

Damn, there have been some blowout games this weekend.

 

[Caja 117]

i guess is now Sox turn to score a bunch of runs today.

 

[Chase17]

Red Sox bouncing back.

 

[GK86]

Cubs bringing in a position player to pitch.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Why use a backup catcher to pitch?

 

[GK86]

De Aza can't even get a hit off a position player.

 

[Lexxism]

Blue Jays offence is on 🔥

 

[PROh1bited]

Blue Jays offence is on 🔥

Well to be fair, the last few runs were off a position player.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Wilmer Flores 6 for 6! Nice job.

 

[harSon]

What happened to the Cubs?

The Pirates will begin their post All-Star break onslaught once again when we bring up Glasnow and Bell :3

 

[Link]

6 for 6 for Wilmer.

 

[Choomp]

Montero probably has the best stuff out of all the Cubs pitchers today. Also nice a 6 hit game for Wilmer

 

[brianjones]

brandon mccarthy is back

we'll see how this goes

 

[lazybones18]

Cubs getting manhandled

 

[CosmicQueso]

Cubs still on pace for 102 wins.

"Collapse" is real, folks.

As a Cub fan, you should know better than to tempt the baseball fates.
