There’s no sugarcoating it, this has been a very horrible stretch for the Cubs and they probably need to have a team meeting or some kind of surprise call-up or trade or signing to spark…something.

You should just watch this because Shota Imanaga is fun.
Walk Off a Hero (By the Seat of One’s Pants)

Well Crap, See You in a Few, Cody
Goddammit. That is all.
