5/4 Cubs (Hill) @ Arizona (Cruz) 8:40 PM WCIU/WGN-720; XM188

[E.J.]

What other pitchers can we bring up? Marmol? Veal? Someone who can get people out? Anybody?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Walker flied out to left field

[cheapseats]

Aramis singles.

 

His hit tells us that he is going to start trying harder at the plate and will now carry the team on his shoulders and be a leader in the clubhouse. :D

[badger1679666666]

After seeing the ERA of the new DBacks pitcher, I may be around for a bit.

 

Clearly you didn't know that we scored 1 run against a 6+ ERA starter and a 6+ ERA reliever yesterday.

[JonnyRed]

I really don't know what has happened to this team during the last week. Even after D-Lee went down, we fought hard. This entire team has collapsed against mediocre talent. I'm getting close to giving up on this pile o' crap.

 

This team is mediocre talent.

 

even with Lee, we'd be losing all of these games. The pitching is just not there and one guy can't carry your offense forever (even though Lee tried his best last year).

 

going to be 5 games out already...

 

I'd expect our rookie pitchers to struggle, but not Zambrano. And I'd expect our offense (and especially A-Ram) to at least score 2-3 runs a game. Unfortunately everyone decided to suck at the same time.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Murton struck out (called)

[cjbucks]

Aramis singles.

Do you think maybe it also tells us that some time this season he is going to break into a trot a little faster than my grandma could run??

 

PS ( may she rest in peace............which she is not if she can see these game.)

[YearofDaCubs]

I dont know why Aramis and Murton were complaining to the ump. Both of them clearly out by strikes.

No runs through 6. We should start a pool on when the Cubs will score again.

[cheapseats]

Last night Brenneman said Z was overrated because he hasn't won 20 games.

 

Now he's talking about Wood being overrated because he hasn't won 20 games.

[cjbucks]

Here's what I'm going to do. I'm not going to stop drinking until the Cubs score a run.

Brenneman's an idiot.

[erik316wttn]

That's our Cubbies!

Someone better call the Detox clinic ahead of time.

[E.J.]

Better call the ambulance now and set an appointment for midnight.

My bad. I forgot.

Nah, sign him up for clown college. Alcoholic clowns are funny.

Easley flied out to right field

Tell one of your friends to call an ambulance. You could be drinking for a while.

I can probably make until morning sometime before requiring hospitalization. But by that time i will at least have forgotten this 3 game streak.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Estrada grounded out to short, 6-3

[cheapseats]

Rusch is on fire.

One of the many reasons that tHom makes my list of top 5 people who I want to punch in the face. Spelling his name like a douche and wearing a Marlins cheerleaders outfit while broadcasting the NLCS are some others.

may i suggest since this will happen frequently you stick to the cheaper spirits and beers. No Sambuca or anything fancy stick to your basics Jack, Beam, Keystone( Premium, Ice, light its all cheap)
