Series Wrap – Cubs Drop Two Of Three To Reds: It’s Not Only The Chili That’s Annoying

Sam Fels May 16, 2019 0

Game 1 Box Score: Cubs 3, Reds 1 Game 2 Box Score: Reds 6, Cubs 5 (10) Game 3 Box Score: Reds 4, Cubs 2 It’s pretty impressive to go a month without losing a series. Nothing lasts forever. It seems like losses in Cincinnati are just a little more annoying than the others, though. […]

Series Wrap – Cubs Take Two Of Three From D-Backs: Approaching Suck

Sam Fels April 21, 2019 0

That’s a touch harsh. The Cubs have been playing much better at least since the Pirates were here, though it hasn’t always felt like it. There’s a frustration they didn’t sweep this series as they did the Marlins, but despite Zack Greinke‘s ballooned ERA and HR/FB rates he’s still Zack Greinke and sometimes he’s gonna […]

Eloy Is Caught In-Between, And Yu Seems To Want To Move There

Sam Fels April 11, 2019 0

I can always tell the mood of Sox fans by the angry texts Fifth Feather sends me. And as I’ve said, I’m only dabbling in Sox writing to annoy the piss out of him. But early in the season, he’s decided to get worked up about Eloy Jimenez. Certainly a 79 wRC+ or 83 DRC+, […]
