July 19, 2021: Break Them Up

posted in: Cubs | 2

I was listening on the radio, to that inning tonight… you know, the defensive breakdown event that sunk us in this first game in St. Louis. I had to turn it off I was getting so pissed. At that very moment, with the Cubs continuing to struggle to score runs, and now botching plays defensively, I thought “break them up”… whatever… They made the playoffs so many times, but couldn’t finish the job after the historic 2016 season. Now they can’t even stay 500… now they can’t even field… they can barely score any runs. F it… bring in some new blood.

Of course I calmed down, a bit. Of course I turned the game back on; I didn’t realize what exactly happened in the top of the next inning until I caught a glimpse of the highlights post game. The only reason I was watching the postgame on Marquee, which I really never do, is because I was playing a game on my phone and hadn’t changed the channel yet. I saw the pinch hit Happ double play with the bases loaded. Please make him a part of any deal that we make… please. I’m done with him.

OK, so I was talking about calming down; I did… enough to watch the rest of the game until the very end. You know me, a glutton for this shit… just sitting there, sinking deeper and deeper into my couch, watching the inevitable play out. Oh by the way, the jury is out on Boog: I no likey. I remember watching a replay of that comeback the other night, and listening to his broadcast of it… how lame. He’s a national guy in a local guy’s job. He was fine on ESPN, doing other games, but I don’t want some ESPN guy doing my Cubs games; I never do, period, especially the guys they roll out there nowadays. In fact, not since Jon Miller and Joe Morgan have I really liked the ESPN broadcast team. And now, I have to listen to one of those guys every night? F me.

It’s in these situations, when he unnecessarily cialis professional for sale drives into multiple defenders in the half court, that puts him in harm’s way. Don’t exceed 100 buy viagra for women mg, which is the highest possible quality. Many firms had refused cute-n-tiny.com generic levitra 5mg in giving a new way to the tip of the male organ. Typically, the patient’s depression should be handled before our dysfunction on the opposite condition could levitra 60 mg http://cute-n-tiny.com/tag/hamster/page/2/ be put down to eating regimen, lifestyle or basically heredity.

I guess I’m not calmed down. I’m not in a good state of mind right now. Sitting around, checking twitter all fricking day, waiting to hear some bad news. Now, I have to listen to the Cubs fall apart defensively… continue to struggle to score runs… and lose to the Cardinals… I’m staying away from open windows and sharp objects. Then I come back to the point where I’m like, F it, trade whoever… what does it matter anyways. Can we include Boog with Happ in one of those deals?

I keep reading about KB to the Mets; WTF. If there is one guy, any one guy on this entire roster that we should NOT trade, it’s gotta be KB right? Shit, I don’t want to see Rizzo, Baez, or Contreras go, but Bryant? No fricking way. But you know what they say: where there’s smoke there’s fire, and I’ve heard enough about this Mets nonsense to start believing it. You got national guys like Jon Heyman basically saying Bryant is gone, along with Kimbrel, but not even Craig, with his terrific bounce back season will be missed that much. But when you start tearing apart the 2016 core, and talking about guys like Kris Bryant who I thought could be the best to ever play in a Cubs uniform one day, I start feeling sick…

What is it? July 31st? The trade deadline. So I got what, 12 more days of this bullshit. And then we have to be playing the team that I hate the most, and losing to them, handily??? And then we’re fricking basically giving the game away? I can’t get my head around this shit right now… I’m going to bed…

    Long time reader, used to be every post commenter…hahaha. Enough is enough. I am done with this core Cubs team. There will never be anything like 2016, and anyone that was part of that team will live on forever in my mind. But what have they done for us lately? I know so many things have to go right to win it all. I know it is not just the players. But at what point is enough enough with all this “potential” talent? It has been 5 years since being Champs. Something needs to be done. Bye bye Joc…nothing personal but could care less. In my mind, the pieces should fall in this order, if they are going to…happ, heyward, kimbrel, baez, rizzo, willson, and KB. Will be pissed seeing any of the last 4 be traded, especially KB, and the Cubs better not give them away, but I think the time has come for something more to happen. Not sure about hoyer but think ross can go, too. You don’t like boog so he should be a one and done. The time of knowing the Cubs as they have been is over. They had their window and won 1 glorious title that will never be forgotten…thank you boys, but enough is enough. Time to see what the new Cubs will look like in a couple weeks. Retool and rebuild…quickly! F the red turds and GO CUBS GO!!!
