14th time this year the team took a lead into the 7th inning or later and wound up losing the game.

Garbage, up and down, in and out.

I saw where it was 10-4 went to get something to eat and nearly lost it when I saw the final.

Tomorrow they'll get loss #82 guaranteeing them their 13th losing season since the start of 2007.

🤡

Not quite the gut punch of that Royals loss from ahead late in 2005…went to bed on and was absolutely shocked the next morning.

Will another nice job tonight 😂 

In all honesty - as much as it stinks - most of the young players did well at the plate and the pitchers like Smith did good - other ones who aren’t part of the long haul drove the loss.

Dude, our BP combined salaries is, what, less than $5M. The f*** you expect?  It’s a rebuilding year. 

then there was that expensive pen that wasn't clutch either

Spending on a pen is always a risk

Kimbrel Hendriks Bummer Graveman Kelly, etc.  Vince Velasquez and Reynaldo Lopez.

fucking bullpen is atrocious, holy s%*#

Horrible loss but the kids in the lineup will not let this defeat bother them and will bounce back but the bullpen has been horrible the last 2 games almost blowing Monday’s game and the horrible meltdown last night.

Does the bullpen crew all sit together in the clubhouse after this debacle?

Remember that game in 2016 where Robertson blew a 6 run lead in the 9th inning against the Royals? I remember I was driving to Millennium Park and listened to that whole inning in disbelief and it put me in a real shitty mood. Luckily I was headed to the Gelato World Championship so I cheered up nicely...but it took until the 3rd gelato.

I always say keep bringing in new bozos until you find the ones that suck the least. And this bunch fits the term “suck.”

That was the day the Shields trade broke
