There's just no way he didn't forget there was 1 out and not 2 there...Gamel had easy pickings and rushed the throw. Collins, doing an impression of a rusty/squeaky gate after monsoon season. 3/27 with RISP. That won't win you many games, WHITE SOX. Good for a .111 there.

Jesus Christ Grandal, what the hell was that? FORGOT THE OUTS?

Peralta has that really nasty riding fastball out of the bullpen now (and 3-4 pitch arsenal). Might have found the perfect role for him, going 1-3 innings...but don't believe Eric Lauer can actually stick in their starting rotation for very long. Leury 3 run jack? Hit ground first, then on the instep, almost exact same place as last night....back foot. COMING OUT? For Engel, PR. This game is exact OPPOSITE as last night's in term of time of game. Jesus. What a crawl this has been.

Looks like TA will be back as early as next TUESDAY. Eloy having a game to remember, and not in a good way.

Whether it was or not is immaterial now. The perception is going to be that his defense is such a liability (along with the likelihood of injuring himself, Moncada/TA/Robert) that something absolutely has to be done to address it. No more ignoring it, or "he's getting better/he's improving/he's making strides" cliches on this topic.

Definitely remember THAT one, Gordo.

Buckner in 1986...there's really no way to top that one, especially the circumstances. Leon Bull Durham/SD. There was a Cubs' outfielder who had a huge error at the end of one season, too. Brant Brown? Tony Graffanino against the White Sox in 2005 on a positive note in the ALDS.

For displacing Javy Baez? Just kidding, El MAGICO might eventually be gone (via FA), but will never be forgotten by Cubs' fans. Sosa is the only one still despised/ostracized.

Tough pitch to take there, MEN-DICK.

Just imagine if he was on the.....CUBS!!! That would be like welcome to the apocalypse time.

GreenSox, lol? Thad Bosley? Just kidding. I've been warned not to talk about it anymore today, or criticize Jimenez's defense "in a snarky way." Yet here we are, lo and behold.

Canseco off the NOGGIN. Funniest was Lenny Randle trying to blow a dribbler foul down the 3B line in the Kingdome.

And Counsell actually knows how to manage a/the pen. Freddy Peralta pulled from rotation for Lauer, he'll be entering the game.

A Leury walk? That's a big unusual.

Yet against the White Sox, rocketed 512 feet into the upper tank in Arlington...maybe it's just White Sox pitching being the key variable.

That's some Doors peyote in the desert stuff, like BREAK ON THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE/THE CRYSTAL SHIP time. BLAKE. The Doors of Perception, etc. Would be funny to look at Cubs' internal scouting reports from that time..."he even makes Kyle Schwarber actually look like a competent big league outfielder."

Career high 7 strikeouts in just 4 IP. LOL at that.

No no no, that Rangers' game was 10X worse. We were 23-10 at that point, and looked to have at least a 50/50 shot at the playoffs if the rotation and SS position could be addressed.

Once again, can anyone imagine him at 3B (like C-Lee/El Caballo)? He's making Dayan Viciedo look like Juan Pierre or Pods out there.

If that play hadn't happened, are we to believe the inning would have unfolded exactly the same. Gio obviously lost his composure out there, everyone watching could tell that much...or at least hear it from Gio's mouth directly.

I'm not so sure about that. I think he can be MLB average at SS, honestly. Maybe at second, but his arm is a huge advantage at short.

So much for FOSTER as the opener this weekend. Wonder who they'll choose now?

Move Anderson to LF. Leave Leury at SS. Still have a logjam for this year with Abreu/Vaughn/EE/Collins at 1B/DH, unfortunately. Leury is much better on the infield. Leave Mendick alone, see if Madrigal can take his spot back. Don't need to mess with that unless Mendick goes into a 2-3 week long slump.

WHY CAN'T WE EVER JUST HAVE A MAJOR LEAGUE AVERAGE COACHING STAFF???????????? JUST ONCE. To see if that might actually make a difference. Not expecting 2013-2016 KC Royals, just improvement/effort/situational awareness. That would be nice.

WHERE IN THE G-DAMN HELL IS THE FREAKING BULLPEN??????????????????
