5/11 Cubs (Marshall) @ Giants (Wright) 2:35 WGN TV/XM 189

[XZero771679666304]

I hate this coaching staff and I hate this team.

 

Seriously, there hasn't been a Cub team I have disliked ever. This team I just can't stand.

 

Honestly, I don't hate the players.

 

I really believe that the coaching staff must be preaching over agressiveness at the plate and nibbling around the strike zone trying for K's for pitchers. Both things are just too epidemic withing the team to be anything else.

Are we gonna set the record for most Stupid Sac Bunt attempts in a year?

 

GOD DUSTY YOU BRAIN DEAD MORON. LET CEDENO HIT.

 

I don't think that was Baker's fault. Just because a manager calls for a sac bunt doesn't mean you try and bunt at balls out of the zone. Even Marshall didn't do that. That was another example of bad baseball. This time it happens to be Cedeno showing incompetence at the plate.

[Master Shake]

My god. I hate this carnival atmosphere here. That kid needs to sit down and get some speech lessons.

 

When I heard the kid yesterday, I expected him to break into a rendition of "Pass the Dutchie"

[XZero771679666304]

 

At least Dusty now has proof of why he should've bunted.

 

What proof? The result of calling the bunt was a guy who got behind early and GIDP. He was wild. If you never call the bunt you could easily have gotten Cedeno into a hitter's count and the result would be completely different.

 

valid point. Baker's managing like they're down by a run. Baker = stubbornobstinatebuffoonass

 

That's better.

It's a lot harder to stop yourself from offering at a pitch out of the zone than it is to not make a stupid strategic decision.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Finley grounded out to first, 3-1, Feliz to second

[soccer10k]

SF announcer is ripping the Cubs for this absurd strategy. Sac bunting down 5 early with your leadoff hitter?

 

 

Morons.

 

I think Dusty wants to get fired.

 

Where do you live goony? I mean, how are you listening to the Giants announcers?

 

Probably XM.

 

Ah, that makes sense. So is it Krukow and Kuiper or Jon Miller?

 

It was Miller but switched to somebody else last inning.

 

They do that a lot on the Giants radio. I'm not sure who they switch to, but he's not as good as Miller is. Also, its nice to hear Jon Millers voice without having to hear Joe Morgan's right after.

[Flames24Rulz]

thankfully Marshall didn't hesitate to getting to the bag. As soon as the ball was hit, he was on his way to first. He could teach some of our other pitchers how to do that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Matheny popped out to first base

[sethuel1]

Seriously...what is wrong with that kid? Is he eating the micropohone? Does he have some sort of disorder?

 

I've got it! He's got voice immodulation!!!!!!

[dalgreen]

I said I wasn't going to say anything mean about Pierre during this SF series and it's killing me. At least I can channel on that vitrole towards Busty McBrainless.

 

Meh, Pierre has been awful, but this is a full on team suckfest.

 

Remember how we kept hearing how Pierre has been one of the toughest guys to strikeout over his career? He's had no problem striking out to me.

[C.C.]

BOOOOOO!!!!!!

Maddux POWER.

Frandsen singled to right field, Feliz scored, Frandsen to second on the throw

THIS IS A SERIOUS MEDICAL CONDITION. I CANNOT CONTROL THE LEVEL OF MY VOICE.

[Master Shake]

If the score stayed 5-0, I had some hope. Now, forget it.

perhaps bad bseball on cedeno's part, but you have to play for a big inning when you're down 5, w/ a rookie on the mound, and especially w/ the way this team has been hitting.

im just tired of the Cubs, im tired of losing, im tired of sucking, i'm tired of the emptyness EVERY single season. i swear to god, one more year of this crap, and i'm done. I'll be a White Sox fan if I have to.

[Flames24Rulz]

that's definitely the game.

 

you would think a win would start to string a winning streak together, but obviously that's not the case with a Dusty Baker managed ballclub.

Seriously, don't we miss signs all the time and there are no rammifications? Just pretend you missed a sign. Dusty isn't going to do anything, he wants everyone to be his friend.

That's crazy talk!

 

Just give up MLB, and find yourself a good minor leauge team.

 

I like the Joliet Jackhammers.

[Balsa]

Alright, let get some -- Aw, who am I kidding?

[Banedon]

Did Jones make another bad throw?
