The Cubs get to face Paul Skenes debut today. He is the number 2 prospect in baseball. I understand he has a triple digit fast ball. Supposedly has a 5 pitch arsenal. With the buildup he is getting he will probably disappoint a lot of Buc fans today.

Bellinger hit one of those triple digit fastballs 343 yesterday into the bleachers in right field. Big leagues can be a little tougher than AAA. Hopefully the Cubs can get him figured out early.

Embarrassing loss today for the Cubs. How'd the Phillies fare NL?

The Phillies beat the Marlins, probably the worst team in baseball. I wanted to watch the Cub/Pirate game just to see the Pirates rookie pitcher that was getting such a build up in my neck of the woods, the game was blacked out in my area. The Phillies have some sort of a contract with a Philadelphia TV station, I hardly ever get to watch them because most of their games are blacked out, I only ever get to see them if they are on Fox or ESPN.

Looks like they blew it today NL.

Cubs did get the win but it wasn't pretty. Even the Cards managed a victory today over the lowly Brewers. lol

The lowly Marlins got to the Phils best pitcher today.

The Mets hit a walk off home run in the bottom of the 9tj inning last night to beat the Braves, thank you Mets, I enjoyed that. We are about to find out how deep the Phillies are, the injuries are starting to mount. Turner is out for what appears to be 5 more weeks, Realmuto has a bad knee and is day to day, Schwarber has back issues and is day to day. Someone will have to step it up.for the series with the Mets.

I wouldn't hold my breath that the Cubs help you with the Braves NL. They have a good pitcher today though, if they can score a few runs to help him out.

Good thing the Phillies pulled off the win. As predicted the Cubs sucked it up again today.

Yes, it was a good come back win for the Phillies. I hope the Cubs take it to the Braves tonight.

I see the Pirates beat the Brewers, that should make the Cubs loss a little more bearable.

I was happy to see that. Phillies play early today. I may watch some of it. They are becoming a favorite of mine when they aren't facing the Cubs. lol I don't care for the Mets much, even more so now that they have Bader. I never could stand him and his prancing around in the outfield like a homosexual unicorn.

Click here to stream the games for free on your computer. About 10min before the games are scheduled to start, click that link. You may have to verify you're not a robot. It'll have a list of the games that are available. You don't have to sign up or register or anything like that. Then you click on the game you want to watch. (this is the same for many sports, not just baseball) You'll see a list of places that stream the game. I always choose "thestreameast". When you do you'll have to close a pop-up ad probably, and when you click play another pop-up ad, and another when you try to turn up the volume or go to full screen. But once you get there, you can watch the game. It's a little bit annoying with the ads before you get there but the adds are why you can watch it free.

I'll add a video to this to help walk you through when the game is about to start today, if I can remember.

Thank you, I will try it for tomorrow's game, Phils won today 4 to 0, now I hope the Cubs take care of Atlanta tonight.

Cubs won’t be much help from the looks of things already.

Lowly Brewers killed the even more lowly Pirates. Cubs better get their crap together soon.

Those cards are on a two game streak

Are those the same lowly Brewers that are in first place in the Division, 2 games up on the mighty Cubs?

WTG Cubs, it is my bed time, surely they won't blow a 6 run lead in the 9th.
