I don't see them going after Skubal. That's going to be a bidding war. Likely ends up in LA. They have the prospects and the money to sign long-term.
Our offense may suck but at least our pitching is terrible. So we have that going for us, which is nice.
Boyd threw a mostly decent rehab game for Iowa today. He was limited to 60ish pitches. I’d guess he gets another day off and we’ve seen the last of Wicks until he’s tossed into a deal to some team that needs innings filled and thinks they can unlock something.
The Cubs start off June with 22 games against teams under .500. This is the time to get right.

Cubs offense in the dumpster.
Relentless ALS depressing talk.
Brett f.ucking Bielema singing the stretch.
Could this game suck any harder a.ss?

Bielema sings at Wrigley every year. Fitz did it, too. It would be awesome if Kirk did it once.Cubs offense in the dumpster.

I'm sure there were worse April and half of May. They played out of their minds during that stretch. I'm honestly surprised they did the 180 so quickly
Miracle 9th inning comeback...turning point?
Cubs have a very soft slate in June so could be time for an oppo "June swoon"?

I turned it off and watched the hockey game instead. Sounds like I missed quite the comeback!
I really hope and pray this team doesn't buy at the deadline. They're going nowhere as currently constructed and there is not enough to offer anyone to put this team over the top.
Also ask yourself this...... when was the last time you said to yourself "thank god we have Counsell as manager"
Organization needs a total overhaul before next year. It won't be from the FO or Counsel

Today was awful, but they've had some good moments this year, too. It remains early in the season. EC sucked today. I always cringe when they bring back a pitcher without a rehab appearance. He needed one. Boyd is coming back next.
You aren't as bad as you seem, or as good as you seem at times. I will give you that what is happening with Swanson is very concerning, Happ's inability to hit right handed should signal some form of platoon system in the future, and several other guys... The offense has been putrid.
It would be nice to see the Cubs win 2/3 of June sched, but man is that a trashed pitching staff. Imanaga has given up 7,6,5,6 runs his last 4 starts (?). Rea is their best starter unless Brown can go more than 4 innings.
I have too many complaints to list here so will leave it at that. I like roller coasters but don't like this one.
Modern scheduling can be weird. 3 against the Giants, then they travel to Colorado and SF for 3 game sets.
They need to get well against the bad teams they face in June.
If you're in the bleachers you'll have a good chance of grabbing a homer served up by Jameson Taillon, assuming the rains stay away.
His hamstring said "hold my beer". I thought Assad pitched really well in relief. After the old C sang Take Me Out to the Ballgame we waltzed. Wrigley sucks for Uber/Lyft pickup
