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

[sunnydoo]

Things are looking up...with that K, Ohman's ERA dips below 10.

 

Fixed.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

does it bother anyone that we are so poor we are getting dominated by a team that has juan cruz, shawn estes and miguel batista in their rotation?

we can't even score on them! hell they all played for us and other than cruz i really wouldn't want them back...

 

It's not hard to be dominated when our lineup features Neifi, Bynum, and Blanco. We have no true power threat except Ramirez who's struggling. The only way we score is to string a bunch of hits together. So...we end up leaving buttloads of men on base.

I think the game is officially out of reach :wink:

At least with Pierre we don't have to worry about him overthrowing the cutoff man.

1 run in the last 26 innings.

It's an all around meltdown. This is our 6th game without a home run, and nobody is driving in runs.......

I believe Shawn Estes is on the Padres. I get your point though.

He was just getting ahead of himself. The Padres are going to dominate us this weekend. He was trying to subliminally prepare you.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hairston, pinch hitting for Blanco, struck out swinging

[soccer10k]

The Cubs are going to force me to drink...oh wait, I already do.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Mabry, pinch hitting for Ohman, grounded out to second, 4-3

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Re-cap will wait until the morning. I'm too pissed off to write it tonight.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre tripled to right field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre is 3 for 4 with a BB !!!

[cheapseats]

Pierre's been on base 4 times tonight.

The Juan-o-Meter stands a hair short of .270

[Flames24Rulz]
