Poor Jon.

And that didn't help a bit today. Ugh.

This isn't looking very good

 

[Deb & Bill]

I guess we're back to the old way. There's always next year.

I’m blaming the (Mad Magazine Spy vs Spy) uniforms. Let’s never speak of this weekend again : )

I thought they had a little more House Painter look.

 

[Deb & Bill]

Blue shirts worked great against the Mutts. I thought pinstripes would work against the Brewers, but not sure now,

 

[Deb & Bill]

Fell asleep while watching the game on television. Dreamed the Cubs were playing Milwaukee and the final score was 4-3, Cubs lose. Woke up in the sixth inning. In middle of the ninth it was 4-0 and was hoping the Cubs would at least get three runs in the last inning. Didn't happen. Heyward is looking horrible. Why isn't he going down to Iowa for help.

Great win! I’m a Wisconsinite, so a win against the Brew Crew is always good!

Also, as a Wisconsinite, a Packers win is welcome. It’s a good sports night for me.

Nice Grand Slam by Schwarber last night. His second of the year at Miller Field.

Here's a cool story about Nick Castellanos.

Javy has a hairline fracture in his left thumb. He's headed to see a hand specialist on Monday to see what needs to happen and how long he will be out.

 

[Deb & Bill]

Poor Addison. I wonder how long he will be out. Luckily it looked like the ball didn't hit him directly, but hit the bill on his helmet so it drove it against his head. And Kris has a bad knee. I think this season might be about over.

I’m not a Russell fan, but I can’t wish that on anyone. I feel the same way about Yelich.

I feel the same way about last night . The hitting clawed their way back into the game to have the bullpen give it up with a lead off walk!

 

[Deb & Bill]

They showed the video of Yelich breaking his patella and it was not pretty. And he did it Miami where he was traded from.

I will also apologize for thinking badly about both Kris and Rizzo because they never get on base together. Two HRs by Kris with Rizzo on base was very nice. Just needed one more.

Chatty was good last night. I hope he won't be needed tonight with Hamels.

That was neat.

Heads need to roll after this season ends. I'm sick of this team collapsing in September.

Cubs win! They are on fire against the Pir-rats. I hope this is a turning point for them and they stay hot.

You and me. With Milwaukee playing St Louis, I don't know who to root for.
