Blanco walked

[Omar]

Heh, as Blanco walks.

[Omar]

Mercker taking a hippy look?

[Omar]

Hm.... Bob says Aramis can PH.

[Omar]

Bynum looked clueless... as he struck out.

Two down. Bynum Ks.

[YearofDaCubs]

Thank you IZZY!!!

 

(FYI...living in St.Louis often sucks)

You could always move to Chi-town :)

[Omar]

Bynum, poinch hitting for Mercker, struck out swinging

 

Pinch hitting for Howry?

[Chocolate Milk]

Honestly, Bynum? What's the point?

Pinch hitting for Howry?

 

Of course

[Banedon]

Honestly, Bynum? What's the point?

 

That's what I wondered. Is Baker just not trying?

[LoneStarCubFan]

At what point does the lions' share of laying down against dog teams like Cincy, Pittsburgh, etc. fall on the shoulders of the manager?

 

Dusty's supposed to be a master motivator. Performances like this should not continue to happen. Absolutely no excuse for it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre singled to right field, Blanco to second

[Andy]

Hairston walks, DLee homers, Murton flies out to the warning track.

 

Yes, I'm pessimistic.

[YearofDaCubs]

Did Backe get hurt? He came out after 2 innings.

[Omar]

Cubs lose. Cubs lose. Cubs lose. Cubs lose.

[LoneStarCubFan]

Or Hairston could just strike out and end the suspense.

[Chris]

:(

[Flames24Rulz]

well, let's get the Pirates tomorrow.

[Andy]

That was a good cut by Hairston.

 

 

says Neifi.

[LoneStarCubFan]

Dusty's love affair with lefty-righty match-ups is Bayloresque in its idiocy. Absolutely no freaking way a lightweight piece of garbage like Perez should be starting at third base when Mabry is available.

Dude, we needed his defense in the field.

[Shilzzz]

so neither mabry nor barrett came in to hit?
