Sox lose 3-2 and were swept by the Tribe today. Still within 5 1/2 of 1st, but man this is terrible how they've fallen apart.

And Cubs are trying to go 12.5 games up on the Cards and 15 up on the Pirates tonight.

Sox season continues to spiral out of control

Only possible salvation at this point involves firing Ventura and getting a real manager

 

[HeisenBaez]

No Aaron boone the cubs should.not and will not trade schwarber or Baez for a freaking reliever. No matter how good those relievers are, it will never happen.

And when the pen blows playoff games you'll see the absurdity of this position.

I think they need a lot more than that.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Sure ,, But it certainly would be a boost to fanbase to see that bum out of job

Makes me miss Terry Bevington at this point

You can get a decent pen arm without moving a guy of Schwarber's ceiling that'd be lunacy.

We can win a World Series. I want Miller.

NBA: wow

For a franchise that hasn't won in 100+ years, you need to make a move like that. Theo/Jed can't rob everybody trading B/C level guys.

What a performance from Hendricks tonight. 6 innings, 1 ER, 12 Ks.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Willson Contreras will get his first big league at-bat in the bottom of the 6th.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

And he goes deep!!!!!

 

[No Fun Shogun]

That was awesome.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

That was awesome.

Such a perfect time for me to switch over to the Cubs game.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Cavs are gonna win.

 

[TLEH]

Cubs bullpen makes me want to pull my eyes out of my skull

 

[clydesdale line]

Do it LeBron... do it.

Yes! Cleveland!

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Poor Lake Erie Monsters.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Good thing for the people of Cleveland. They needed this.

 

[hawksrule]

Crazy to think they lost games 1&2 by sixty.

Where's Wrigley to tell us Lebron sucks.

 

[BK]

NHL and NBA championship teams both had coaching changes mid season...has that ever happened?

Happy for Cleveland.

Have to say Bryant is sneaky fast.

Have to say Bryant is sneaky fast.

Very underrated as a base runner.

Everyone has hit today but Montero
