5/22- Cubs (Marshall) @ Marlins (Nolasco)- 6:05 CSN+ / XM209

Silver lining: As long as the Cubs continue to play worse then the "Benchwarmers" (Heder/Schneider/Spade), then Hendry has to keep Baker's "extension" in his back pocket. And if the Cubs play bad long enough, then Hendry can not ever justify giving Baker and extension.

[Tim Burr]

Cubs need help. Why isn't Womack here yet? :(

[Sammy Sofa]

I'm honestly hoping they lose every single series for the rest of the year.

[Balsa]

LOL. Hawk's screaming "stretch, stretch!" into the mic.

 

The ball is caught before the warning track.

 

I hate the Hawk so much.

I really don't know if performance or fan reaction matters one bit in terms of Dusty getting his extension.

[Mizzou]

Way to go Girardi!

[JonnyRed]

This team truly couldn't be any worse if they tried. We are getting blown out by a minor league lineup and shutdown by a guy who we didn't even want.

[CuseCubFan69]

the marlins don't have much else to play for...they may as well aim to embarrass the cubs.

 

Beat by an expansion team with your ex players, this is wonderful in just so many ways.

He'll be in in left soon enough don't worry.

I don't think it matters either. What did Baylor do to get fired? Was he as bad as this or worse?

Yep. "can of corn" would have been more fitting on that particular play.

[Caryatid]

Wellemeyer? Now you KNOW its on purpose.

[abuck1220]

heh...welly in now. boy, i'd love to hear hendry get interviewed after this one.

[Balsa]

I wish I hadn't bought MLB.TV so I wouldn't have paid for the Cubs through May.

 

I'd much rather be listening to Pat and Ron. At least they have fun even when the Cubs suck donkey balls.

[abuck1220]

bob: blanco needs to get it going a little bit.

 

really? that .050 average isn't cutting it?

[Balsa]

Wellemeyer? Now you KNOW its on purpose.

 

ROFL. You have GOT to be kidding me.

 

This is Giardi exacting revenge on the Cubs. It has to be. It's also friggin' hilarious.

[UMFan83]

Wellemeyer? Now you KNOW its on purpose.

 

Betcha he won't throw 12 straight balls now that hes on a real organization.

[Sammy Sofa]

Well played, Marlins...well played.

 

They're sticking the Cubs' noses in it, and they should.

But then you would've missed out on hearing the Marlins announcers mock our team. The freakin' Marlins announcers giving us grief?!?

[JGalt73]

JoBo's still available for revenge.

 

The sad thing is this team will only get better year by year as we continue to s(t)ink.

[YearofDaCubs]

Just got in. Good thing I didn't waste any time watching these losers.

Boy, I'd give pretty much anything to have Giardi as our manager right about now.

What have the Marlins' announcers said?

too bad that expanision team has more Championships in 10 years than we do in 98

[Sammy Sofa]

BRING ON BOROWSKI!

 

Heh...so awesome. Between this and Ozzie slamming Hill, I'm enjoying other manager's reactions to the Cubs's suckiness more than anything else.
