5/24: Cubs (Maddux) @ Marlins (Moehler) - 12:05 p.m. CT- WGN

[goonys evil twin]

As has been mentioned in the past, the last time the Cubs were 18-28 (.391 %)was on this date in 2002. The difference is they were in the middle of a 5 game winning streak to get to that record. Their winning percentage dropped a bit from there, then settled around the .400 mark the rest of the year.

Moehler sacrificed, 2-4, Olivo to second

I don't even know what to think anymore. I hate seeing the Cubs lose, but something has to change.

 

This is just pathetic.

 

Cupacabra

 

Typo...chupacabra

I'd rather watch a 24-hour Elmo marathon than this bunch of steaming waste of a baseball team right now...

 

I'm really starting to enjoy watching this team again!!!

 

I want them to suffer demoralizing losses in every game.

 

I want to see Dusty pushed into a corner by reporters at every turn.

 

I want to see him squirm as he runs out of excuses.

 

I want Dusty Baker to go insane, as I have.

I just got in. How did we screw up?

 

We came out of the dugout !! :wink:

Cedeno error that they ruled a single for some stupid reason. Led to 5 runs.

[Master Shake]

I bet Marlins drive that run in!

That's a new one on me! ;)

I really wish I didn't have tickets to this Saturday's game and the game on June 17th.

 

Burn them.

To keep us consistent, the team really needs to start considering using the forfiet, based upon who the starting pitcher is. It would make the season a lot more bearable.

We were up 3-1, 2 outs none on in the bottom of the 5th, Cedeno short hops a throw to walker resulting in an IF hit (that should have been an error), and carnage ensues, the Marlins scored 5 times.

Thanks...that was more info than I had.

CUBS are 5-22 when they trail after 6 innings.

 

Go CUBS !!

Time to bring out the Rally Slug™...

Go Cubs! I believe.

[cheapseats]

On the bright side, the Cubs are #5 in MLB in defensive efficiency, ahead of the #6 White Sox.

 

We finished last year at #13.

 

Hendry's offseason magic did improve the defense.

Sounds sorta familiar against these same Marlins??

YESSS! Gotta start somewhere. Way to go Hendry...

Perez flied out to left field

Burn them.

 

I had bleacher tickets to the game on the 17th, and I just gave them away to a buddy of mine who lives in Chicago. No way I'm traveling 4 hours to watch this train wreck.

So I take it everyone will be blaming this loss on Cedeno, huh?

[muntjack]

Oh WOW. Bynum is BAD.

The season is young, I'm sure that stat will find itd way down the tubes too.

Bynum, pinch hitting for Maddux, grounded out to second, 4-3
