Hey Kap I’m not sure if you read all the comments or not but I hope you read this one. I have been a Die Hard Cubs fan for 38 years now and I couldn’t wait to get off work to get home to watch the Cubs game. I would have season tickets every year for the last 12 years. Now I can’t even watch them right now. It’s the worst time that I can remember being a Cubs fan. There have been a lot of rough years but at least when you tuned in and turned the game on there was always the hope that they could win that day. That’s not the feeling I have right now. My 1st thought is how are they going to lose today’s game and I watch batter after batter just watch meatballs go right down the middle and look at it go by. There is no desire to win there is no fire no spark no nothing. I give the Ricketts credit for renovating Wrigley and how much they built it up around the stadium. The problem is is that the Ricketts are making money hand over fist because of us loyal Cubs fans. The Ricketts know that no matter how bad it gets the fans will still come and support and spend money. They told us last year to wait and see and this year they were hoping that a team that over performed last year was going to out do themselves from a year ago. Can Council even manage a big market team? I’m not so sure because if he did he sure as hell would have the Cubs a lot more fired up. They look worse than A’s hell they look as bad as the south siders. The Ricketts won’t make any moves because they want to recoup the 233 million they gave out last year. They do not care because their mindset is we gave the fans a World Series in 2016 they will be good for awhile and the fans will still come no matter what. That’s not fair to us loyal die hard fans and it’s not fair to anyone else. The Cubs have the means to go put a contender on the field but they won’t. STOP TRYING TO GET A DAMN WILD CARD SPOT AND GET BACK TO DOMINATING TEAMS AND WIN THIS DAMN MEDIOCRE DIVISION. sorry rant over I’m just pissed I cannot take this from my team anymore. Take That!!!
Congrats to Ryno on the statue, but Ricketts has built the Cubs to live off of Member Berries. That is a HUGE problem. That you'll come to the ballpark solely because of "'member Ryne Sandberg?", "'member Andre Dawson?", "'member Fergie?"... that has gotten real old! The Cubs have the resources to be far better than this!
Gotta really agree with Kap on this . Cubs are a joke and ownership is doing nothing about it . This team is a mess and will remain in the cellar until big changes are made .
Lol at this point I’m just waiting for the re-Kaps for Kap to properly express our anger. 17th blown save and 18th one run loss for those keeping track at home
@@IamThePapi and yet weeks ago, people were calling for Oli Marmol to be fired. The difference tho, is the Birds have the pieces to turn it around -- the Cubs do not. That is on the FO.
@@IamThePapisince Theo joined 13 years ago the Cubs have been trying to get to the standard of the Cardinals (kills me to say) and are still chasing it.

Man I love that we actually have 1 journalist willing to call the cubs out on their BS. Keep being you KapMan. Your the best. Perfect line. These guys take us for granted. They filling the seats and there pockets w our hard earned money and don't care what the product is as long as idiots keep buying it.
You are right! They do! I was reading a post of some guy who paid $500 for a suite seat (Cubs lost of course). It's that kind of indifference as to why they don't give a d***! Why would they change when people do that?
Jed is great at scouting talent, and stacking a farm system. That's it. That's why he ended up jacking it in San Diego, and why he's blowing in Chicago, now that the real brains exited the chat.
@@1963FallTheo is pretty good at rebuilding, but not sustaining…. Jed can’t put together a consistent product. Scouting does no good without development and placing the right pieces together on the field and in the clubhouse. Essentially the same team that was pretty good, not great, last year is pretty bad this year.
We love ❤️ your passion Kap, your the voice for our frustrated, impatient, angry fan base. Never hold back!! Hope you get your luggage, Air Canada 🇨🇦 should out of business. They lost our fishing gear years ago.
#FireJed #FireJed #FireJed …..This joyless season marches on. It’s slowly but surely gotten uglier and uglier since the start of May, and they probably aren’t even close to rock bottom yet. I’ll reiterate what I said on this page after last week’s debacle against SF: the best move the Cubs can make at this point isn’t a trade. It is getting rid of Jed Hoyer, Carter Hawkins and the losers on their staff in the front office. The fact they thought this PUSHOVER bullpen was good enough to be competitive in the major leagues when spring training began is an absolute embarrassment. And that’s when they had Merryweather, Almonte and Alzolay (who has since proven that he also stinks) healthy. I don’t want Jed to make any moves to help this team now. He doesn’t deserve an opportunity to try and save his ass. He needs to be GONE. You can’t cut corners when you’re trying to win, and that’s exactly what he’s done throughout his tenure. He thought the solution to the Cubs’ issues from 2023 was a $40 million manager. It turns out that a $0 bullpen and a lineup filled with average to below average hitters are why this team absolutely sucks. No manager would be able to win with this shit show of a roster. This is a complete, utter disaster. 😡😡😡😡
@@naturallawman2965I don’t understand how Jed can make the same mistakes over and over again and keep his job. It’s almost like he’s afraid to build a winner.
tbh yall may hate to hear this but i rather miss the playoffs now if it means jed hoyer is fired. When we was up 4-0 I still wasn't confident to hold this in the bag and I (we cubs fans saw it coming)
100% now. Forsure dont want to them to trade for anyone. Not worth it at this point. I even look to maybe be sellers. Tallion, Bellinger, and even Happ maybe
LOL watched Florida Win their 1st Stanley Cup. Connor Mc David and Canada took the consolation Conn Smythe Trophy home. Two teams that played their hearts out , though! Then i tuned into the Cubs in the 9nth. LOL!!
Oh god I’m wondering how much rage is gonna be in this one before watching😂 But in all seriousness this team is like a cancer. The only word I can describe this cubs team is toxic.
Hey, Ricketts! Here is a tip, no charge. How about that guy James Click who was General Manager for the Astros until the off season of 2022-2023? What is he doing now, for which team? He did really good in Houston and was almost fired by a stubborn owner, and see where they are now after he left. Consider him after you get rid of Hoyer and his puppet Hawkins. Jed failed you bringing a manager that besides being expensive, wasn’t cost as much as another stud hitter, and will keep fans hopeful.But, I am not sure Ricketts will because as a “Manager” Hoyer has done very good: Ricketts filling their pockets, Wrigkey is always full, and that is all about. Hoyer is a master in all things regarding marketing. Also, I don’t care about our minors. They are doing ok in AAA and AA? Fine! At the moment, the ones which have been called up haven’t done much with the major team; ANY of them has. PCA may be a nice player, not a stud, not an all star. And he is the best one from our minor teams. Hoyer has also sold us to keep hopeful with these youngsters. That is why he is so afraid to bring them up. As they fail, he fails.
I've reached Apathy & Indifference. If I had a walkup song it'd be Alice in Chains' "Nutshell". It'll never change. The thing that gets me most, like you guys were talking about in the morning is how Carter Hawkins is walking around there like a "made man", like he has full immunity from anything the Cubs do. Hoyer has to have some 8x10's of Tom he doesn't want to get out... has to...
Yeah. And let’s take all,the games off broadcast TV to reduce our exposure to the fans. There was a reason the Cubs, despite being generally mediocre, became so popular in the 70s and 80s - 150 games each season on WGN and about 100 affiliate stations from Peoria all the way to Denver. Over priced, and under performing. Used to go to Wrigley a lot. I won’t pay the ridiculous ticket prices and I won’t pay to watch them on television!
It's clear to me that this team was built and expected to hover around .500 and maybe catch lightning in a bottle. Spent $350 2 wks ago for my family of 5 to see them get 2 hit by the Cards, won't happen again. No excuses for a major market team... Tom & Jed gotta go!
Options for Counsell at the 9th inning -Go with Keegan Thompson who has pitched well since he came back -Go with Neris (the guy you claim is your closer) -Stick with Miller who just got out of a clutch 8th inning in quick manner AND HE DECIDES TO GO WITH COLTON BREWER WHO JUST GOT HIS FIRST SAVE IN HIS 4 SEASON CAREER LAST WEEK ClownSell is incredibly overrated
Go Brewers another 500 team wins the division.. If the Cubs have such great Prospects where are they?.we'll at least they have an expensive Manager another of good that did
yall think craig and some of these players stopped caring once they got paid? craig counsell not sticking with tyson miller in the 9th, if this was david ross hell would have broken loose from fans
I think a lot of this is on Craig Counsell too. The Cubs nearly have the same exact roster as they did last season, yet they’re atrocious this year? Oh, and the Brewers lose “the best manager in baseball” and are all of a sudden better?! Counsell sucks.
They might not care about the fans, but the fans love them, will support them no matter what they do. Next game @ Wrigley, as always, they will get a hero's welcome and a packed house
Pretty asinine how this team costs so much. The Cubs have had plenty of expensive teams that haven’t done well. The 2019 Cubs were 3rd in payroll and won 84 games and missed the playoffs. But that team had Bryant, Rizzo, Baez, Schwarber, Lester, Darvish, etc. They had reason to be so expensive. The fact that this lineup and team is like this but costs this much is absurd. Feels like a team you could get for $100 million. And yeah, Ricketts might not care, but I bet at the very least they probably have a lot of questions about how a big chunk of money is being spent for this. Feels like Hoyer overpaid for the entire roster. Fire Jed Hoyer!!!!
totally agree. They leave guys on base. They take strikes all the time. Suzuki took 3 straight strikes in one AB. He can't catch a fly ball to right. PCA catches a ball and throws it nowhere and the runner on 1B tags. Now they have to do an intentional walk against someone no one has ever heard of. They cant close games. It's horrible.
As a Sox fan with a worse owner, I truly feel for Cubs Nation. I was really looking forward to them doing well since my team is hot steaming shit and until Jerry is gone I also am numb and apathetic. It really hurts having two teams like this in town. Go Bears.
If a team really wants to win, they make changes. The front office does nothing but tell us to be patient. F... Jed, Carter and Tom! And shame on you fans if you keep showing up to Wrigley! It's time for us to send a message! This team also has no heart and it starts with their manager! Scary thing is, we're stuck with these average players for a few years! 🤦♂️
Exactly. Do a boycott, but unlike A's fans-- don't pay; don't go. When Wrigley has 1983 attendance, and every building in Wrigleyville has banners out that says "Fire Jed Hoyer" and "Sell The Team Tom!" Maybe then they'll get it.
You’re right cap this is disgusting and 17 blown saves. It’s embarrassing we would be in first place right now. Even with the hearing we have. There’s gotta be someone somewhere that can get someone out.
Had a golden opportunity to break the game open with the Giants Lefty making his major league debut. Dansby popout, Busch getting lucky they didn’t turn two. 1 run out of that miserable inning. Can’t expect winning baseball with such a small margin for error. This was the game to break open! I feel bad for Justin Steele!!
I really can’t hold CC accountable anymore; he can only run out there what he has. Steele started the 8th, and that is absolutely based on who is or ain’t available. Spencer Howard looked like Paul Skenes. Suzuki whiffed on a double. PCA narrowly caught one. Walking Heliot Ramos with two outs to load the bases was a sound idea in theory, but the Giants had right handed batters all night. I can’t believe we lost a bullpen game AGAINST us. I was hoping Smyly would at least hang one and we lose on a walk off slam…anything but another damn one-run walkoff LOSS.
I'm not throwing in the towel just yet. I have a feeling all the position players are gonna get red hot, and the bullpen is going to be lights out. "Sigh" A man can dream.
Agree Kap! They have reverted back to the "lovable losers". Starts at the top. What did Rickets say...look at the Diamondbacks! Forget competing if in a BIG market that is what the owner says. Pathetic is right!!!
Fools rush in is what I call people that still goes to Wrigley. Chicago is too big and pretty for people to act like there isn’t any where else to go spend their money. Why would Ricketts complain when he’s still getting paid?
Fire Jed Hoyer now!
I am numb Kap. They can't hurt me anymore
Fix the pen
Same I actually laughed my ass off watching the walk off walk. 😂
Hold still I will un-numb you 🔨
Today if the cubs win 2-1: Wow what a win. Go cubs go

Options for Counsell at the 9th inning

winning in 2016 was also part of the curse in hindsight
Kap, you're my therapist. Thank you!
Can’t think of another way to relieve stress???
You are 1000% correct Kap!
Blame David Ross for this L as well 😂
Yup, that Gandolf Rossy. Somehow it's his & Cuas' fault!
I’m done putting myself through the stresses. It’s affecting me all day, everyday. I’m over it.
I love the cubs bullpen.😂
They are pure stand up comedy! 🤣
LMAOOOOOOOO what a 🐐
As a Sox fan with a worse owner, I truly feel for Cubs Nation. I was really looking forward to them doing well since my team is hot steaming shit and until Jerry is gone I also am numb and apathetic. It really hurts having two teams like this in town. Go Bears.
Cubs sold their soul I became a white Sox fan in 2018 because I saw this coming a mile away
Happy I passed out after the 7th. I wouldn't of slept with how mad I woulda been 😒
This teams got no soul and that's not really fixable any time soon.
No ❤
My guy, Kap! Don’t tolerate mediocrity!
If a team really wants to win, they make changes. The front office does nothing but tell us to be patient. F... Jed, Carter and Tom! And shame on you fans if you keep showing up to Wrigley! It's time for us to send a message! This team also has no heart and it starts with their manager!
Scary thing is, we're stuck with these average players for a few years! 🤦♂️
Exactly. Do a boycott, but unlike A's fans-- don't pay; don't go. When Wrigley has 1983 attendance, and every building in Wrigleyville has banners out that says "Fire Jed Hoyer" and "Sell The Team Tom!"
Maybe then they'll get it.
Think of one word to describe Counsell….mine word is “uninspiring”. That said he’s had a bag of crap all year for a team.
Fans are showing up to make cup snakes !
People can no longer blame David Ross!
You’re right cap this is disgusting and 17 blown saves. It’s embarrassing we would be in first place right now. Even with the hearing we have. There’s gotta be someone somewhere that can get someone out.
Can Ryan poles run all the Chicago sports teams
Had a golden opportunity to break the game open with the Giants Lefty making his major league debut.
Dansby popout, Busch getting lucky they didn’t turn two. 1 run out of that miserable inning. Can’t expect winning baseball with such a small margin for error. This was the game to break open!
I feel bad for Justin Steele!!
The Cubs need the All-Star break to come 2 1/2 weeks early.
DAVID ROSS BRING HIM BACK
So embarrassing tom ricketts spending money on the wrong players
I checked score. Couldn’t believe my eyes. Actually I can.. bullpen is atrocious
Throwing in the towel, see you next year Kap
The Cubs have become settlers. Football and the Bears season can’t come fast enough.
I really can’t hold CC accountable anymore; he can only run out there what he has. Steele started the 8th, and that is absolutely based on who is or ain’t available. Spencer Howard looked like Paul Skenes. Suzuki whiffed on a double. PCA narrowly caught one. Walking Heliot Ramos with two outs to load the bases was a sound idea in theory, but the Giants had right handed batters all night. I can’t believe we lost a bullpen game AGAINST us. I was hoping Smyly would at least hang one and we lose on a walk off slam…anything but another damn one-run walkoff LOSS.
I'm not throwing in the towel just yet. I have a feeling all the position players are gonna get red hot, and the bullpen is going to be lights out. "Sigh" A man can dream.
Amazing you still have hope. I’ve given up after the Rays series, that sealed this season for me
Agree Kap! They have reverted back to the "lovable losers". Starts at the top. What did Rickets say...look at the Diamondbacks! Forget competing if in a BIG market that is what the owner says. Pathetic is right!!!
No fire from the top down. This team is so boring. It’s sad. I’ve had enough.
They sold their soul what do you expect?
@@scattau41I didn’t think this team would even be as good as last years, but their good start had me fooled and I bought in. My bad!
It's time to say F-You Back, Cancel Marquee Network and don't show up to the games.
Fools rush in is what I call people that still goes to Wrigley. Chicago is too big and pretty for people to act like there isn’t any where else to go spend their money. Why would Ricketts complain when he’s still getting paid?
Wrigley sucks u in cuz it’s a super great life experience & a landmark. But the on field product is a disaster
You have to C it.
As long as people keep wasting money on going to games and the Marquee Network, why should they improve the team, they're making a killing!!!!!!!!!!
