Jordan Bastian

Cubs on cusp of first winless homestand of at least 7 games since Sept. 3-11, 1943. Would be first time the team has dropped 10 home games in a row since April 4-May 3, 1994.

Let’s see if this crackerjack  team can stage a comeback. Wouldn’t that be something.  No, they fall short.  But Happ looped a single into the outfield.

I didn't watch the game, but I had it pulled up on MLB.com's Gameday. From that, it looked like Hendricks just had no command today.

I, for one, have totally given up on Happ and wish he had been traded at the deadline.  I'm not sure he has any value left.  Why Ross continues to bat him third, stuns me.

I feel for Ross.  It's got to be disheartening to see his friends traded, his pitching staff decimated, and the team such a AAA disaster.  I wonder how often he has thought, I didn't sign up for this.

I feel for the fans who have paid some of MLB's highest ticket prices to see this conglomeration of misfits.

JD is often going to be saying "plenty of good seats available for the upcoming home-stand" .

Deichmann had a couple of good ABs versus lefties in the sixth and eighth innings today.

My parents were there today. My mom said it was the worst game they’ve ever been to. (And they’ve been going for about 50 years so that’s saying something.)

It’s Friday the 13th for the Marlins, too


Including Alzolay, the Cubs are starting five players who are hitting under .200

Alzolay has drawn the worst offensive support all year.

It doesn't look like that lineup is going to help change that tonight either.

Every time I've looked at our lineups lately, it reminds me of this...
