Mmm yes by all means please walk Matt loving Wieters on four pitches to get to arguably the hottest bat in the Nats lineup this series in Taylor. Phenomenal plan.

Can the Cubs get a run off of a man literally dying of mold poisoning on the mound? Or is it time for the ol' Cubs strand job.

Now watch the Nats be actually competent and not strand their one out double.

The only thing that's looked moldy today is the Cubs' offense. Well and the Nats offense, but thankfully the Cubs decided to gift them an unearned run.

Everybody in the loving universe knows he's going to throw a changeup outside of the zone. Except the Cubs hitters, who keep thinking it must be some kind of trick only to swing and miss at a changeup out of the zone.

Cubs please.

Maddon is aware there are other pitchers in the bullpen right? Like, tons of them? Or does he think it's just CJ and Davis playing cards?

Why is Lester pitching relief in this game instead of being saved for possible game 5? Hendricks vs. Roark is good matchup for Cubs despite away game, is it not?

It's probably going to be Hendricks vs Gio but yeah it's a good matchup which is why he's using Lester now and relying on Hendricks to get the job done again.

Sometimes I seriously wonder if Maddon just legit forgets about relief arms. Where has Duensing been all series? Guy has been nails out of the pen and yet Maddon would rather trot Edwards out for the fourth game in a row to die.

I'm sorry Cubbies, but that slam was really funny. Just the way it barely plinked into the net and the fan sadly scooped it up.

You don't have to be sorry, I was laughing too. Mostly because of the irony, but also because #thatscub finally has the perfect .gif of all time.

Doesn't matter when the Cubs can't score.

Ding ding ding. If the Cubs lose this 5-0 then the slam and Maddon's hilariously inept pen management were meaningless in the grand scheme.

That said watch them tee off Madson and/or Doolittle and lose 5-4.

imagine going 108 years since your last world series win and going out like this

Thankfully they won last year so at least for a little while subsequent losses can be blamed on actual things instead of adding to the crushing weight of the curse.

I'm confident in the fact that I couldn't have done worse at the plate today then the reigning NL MVP.

I'm fairly confident that I would have actually done better, if only because after striking out swinging twice in a row on changeups low in the dirt, I would have left the bat on my shoulder 3-2 in the third AB and at least walked.

Hendricks is gonna throw a CGSHO and it won't matter because the Cubs will fail to score any runs off a combination of Gio and Scherzer on three days rest. Edwards will inexplicably come in for the 10th and promptly give up the winning run.

Reminder that Justin Wilson's entire justification for being on the playoff roster is that Daniel Murphy is 0-6 in his career off him.

hahaha just turned on the game, wilson's thrown 2 pitches and there's already someone on first

To be fair that was Duensing's fault.
