Dear God....

Should be 2-1 going into the 4th. 2 horrible errors and it's 5-1.

 

[Skyh13]

I hate this team. The end of this year has been absolutely brutal. Just a pathetic display.

Yeah, I just checked out for the year and turned it to the NFL game. One of the most epic choke jobs I've seen. We had 90% playoff odds on ESPN after the Giants series a couple weeks ago.

This pretty much sums up the mood of a lot of fans right now

Mets up 1-0 in top of 9th.

Former Cubs reliever Kay gives up double & single, so game now 2-1 Marlins.

Even former Cubs relievers struggle to get high leverage outs.

 

[HoustonClone]

And now former Cub Anthony freaking Kay just did us in by allowing two runs for the Marlins pitching for the Mets. Time to gut the relief pitchers sans Alzolay and just start over.

 

[JM4CY]

Oh it's done been ****** away already.

But you guys can still make the playoffs?

Going to be nearly impossible if we lose tonight and the Marlins win.

Lol, you can't even make this stuff up anymore. This week has been the biggest clown show I've seen in 40 years watching baseball.

Damn. So Marlins have the tiebreaker? What happened this year?? Not being a smart ass, genuinely curious. (Twins fan, AL guy) The playoffs are more fun if the Cubs are involved.

We were chugging along playing really good baseball, all of sudden they couldn't beat Colorado or Pittsburgh, then Arizona owned us head to head this month and that's all she wrote. Epic choke job.

They do. It's a lot of things. But the biggest killer was losing 6 of 7 to the D-Backs in 2 week period in mid September.

Man, Swanson is killing us down the stretch.

Please don’t bring back Candelario. He hasn’t done much with Cubs. He is hitting .225 with Cubs.

Rather have him than wisdom.

At least Wisdom has 40 homerun potential. Candelario is a lifetime .243 hitter with a mediocre power.

 

[CycloneErik]

Well, it was a fun run for a while. I guess someone should remind the franchise to play to win all season instead of farting a few months away.

 

[CycloneErik]

Rather have him than wisdom.

Maybe we could do better than either?

Coach Maddon tried to tell them not to......but they sure did this September. big fat ones.
Fire all pitching related personnel except Hendricks and Steele. Trade Suzuki for a left hand reliever with an era under 5,
