THANK.
GOD.

Cubs win! Cubs win! The losing streak is over. They needed that one.

I'm still smiling, but it's fading ... lol. Just end it already.

Runs!

PLURAL.

IAN HAPP COMES THROUGH! LET'S GO!

He may have saved the game with his outfield assist in the 9th and he just opened it up in the 10th!

HUGE! CUBS ARE UP 5-1.

Risky of the Cubs to use up their next three games of runs here in the 10th. But I like it.

CODY COMES THROUGH.

Put that glove down, Contreras.

GREAT baserunning by Mike Tauchman. Good read, impressive hustle. HUGE to get to third there.

LUIS VAQUEZ JUST HAD THE MOST HEADS UP PLAY.

HUGE. HUGE. HUGE. Smart. And Huge.

Can't blow saves.
Have to score more than one run.
It's not either or, it's both.

Cubs scored one (9th inning garbage) run yesterday, too. Like what are you expecting to win with that?

Another game where we're yelling about when to pull the starter, who should come in from bullpen, which reliever messed up etc all because the offense can't score more than a single run.

Every pitching decision is gonna be magnified when they have to be perfect every night.

Hector Neris was two strikes away from saving the game and ending the Cubs FIVE GAME LOSING STREAK, but a walk, a balk, and an RBI single(double?) and the game is tied.

Just incredible. This team has to be better. Simply has to be better.

A balk. Making this as difficult as possible.

Honestly, I'm not ready for this.

Cubs had the equivalent of a leadoff double, and then had the bases loaded with two outs, but they came up with ZERO runs.

Onto the bottom of the 9th. 1-0.

Cubs have the bases loaded with two outs for the second time this game.

I was wondering when a team would pinch hit a righty vs Leiter. Smart thing to do ... BUT HE GOT HIM ANYWAY.

Onto the ninth.

Would it kill you, Cubs, to score one extra run right now?

Ben Brown is coming out.

Is it the right call strategically? Probably.
Is it the best thing for his health and development? Yes.

But it sucks and I hate it and I don't have to like it or be logical about it. We have had nothing to root for. Sigh.

Better hold this.
