Lofton is as bad as Jones. he was batting .111 before that out. jeesh.

What was he, 1-9?

 

Yeah, they didn't even show his avg before the game...just showed him 1-8...

 

And if he gets hits in his next three AB's, the Lofton apologists will come out saying, "see he doesn't suck!" and the BABIP police will come out with the "sample size" argument ;)

I love hearing "Take Me Out to Ballgame" during away games. All the Cubs fans drown out the home fans. :D

I don't know why, but that really made me laugh.

Todd Rundgren and The Journal of Paleoliminology were just put On Notice, haha.

You know Todd's son is hitting .325 for the Carolina Mudcats.

For me, the Cubs need to win before Conan comes on.

[Banedon]

Watch LA sign him next season.

Nice. He sucked pretty bad last year, though.

 

Not to mention through his career.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'd let Maddux pitch the 8th and then have Dempster tie the saves record in the ninth.

yep, sounds good to me.

[Mizzou]

Nah, he's only been on the DL once in his career... he doesn't fit LA's criteria.

[KatJ]

Complete game bid?

 

That's what I've been rooting for since last week. The pen could use a day off.

[Brian]

shhh don't let Rocket know about that record.

We shouldn't be talking. 3 of our 5 starters are still at the Arizona beaches.

[Banedon]

Pierre looks like a little kid wearing his dad's clothes.

If he's gassed after 75 pitches our bullpen may be busy this season.
