Uehara was awful, then strop came in and was also awful.

I'm not sure why Joe insists on using him back-to-back. Even the pitches that weren't getting hit were awful. 85 MPH "heaters" in the top of the zone usually don't work to well.

Someone please tell Pedro Strop that his hat is not cool. Real ball players wear it correctly. Kids, don't learn from him. Not cool. Put it on straight. Maybe if he didn't wear his hat like that he'd be a better pitcher. Fix your hat.

I am not a fan of the hat worn that way, but if you look at his set up his hat is doing its job when he is looking over his shoulder at the catcher's signs and when he is in the heat of his delivery...

But you are probably right, if he were to wear the cap straight forward all of the Cubs pitching issues would likely be solved.

I might be wrong but wasn't there a name resembling HiltonHaus that was BodeClone? For some reason that's ringing a bell to me

A small part of the best fans in baseball. Are you really in WDSM?
Best fans in baseball....if being a group of humorless curmudgeons who think their own farts don't stink is the "best" then good for you guys I guess.

No idea why the even started the game when they did. Could've waited an extra 15 minutes so it wasn't a ******* downpour

With our struggles lately, I'm not gonna say it wouldn't have happened had they waited for the rain to stop but the fact that it's already stopped makes it seem really dumb that they started. Could be a huge factor
