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

[woodchip2153]

well, at least Maddux is pitching well.

[Balsa]

C'mon guys, let's not spoil this start by the Maddog.

[C.C.]

I'm just amazed how deep rock bottom is. We just keep on sinking...

[Balsa]

conspiracy alert: how is MLB getting the juiciest of juiced-up baseballs to the pitcher every time pujols comes up? in order to get rid of bonds' single-season HR record ASAP. i mean we all figured pujols for future HOF after his first few years, but wow, this. ok back to cubs-land.

 

You should post this in Rivials. It will drive the Cardinal fans stark raving mad. K-town will probably pee himself while typing.

 

With good reason, it's a friggin' ridiculous assertion.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cubs are showing tremendous discipline. Moehler has thrown 31 pitches in three innings. At this rate, they'll get to the Marlins' bullpen around th 13th.

 

Over the last 5 games, the CUBS are averaging 2.86 P/PA. So far... they're at 2.81 today.

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Walker singled to right field

[cjbucks]

Uggla.

 

Marlin's anouncers talking about how sometimes a team's negative play with injured players can keep the manager around for another extension.

 

Please Jebus no.

 

We are about to be swept by a pretty decent AAA team. I know how embarrassed I am - can no one at the major league level be embarrased by this???

I posted this at the end of yesterdays game thread, but here it is again.

 

If we lose today, we'll be 18-28. The exact same record as 2002 on the same date. Don Baylor was fired on July 5th, 2002.

[cheapseats]

Watch Dusty call for a hit and run here.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barrett singled to right field, Walker to second

[cheapseats]

OK, so now watch Baker call for a sac bunt here. :D

[mul21]

Why would our cleanup hitter even think about bunting? Is it really that bad?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones is driving in 20.7% of the runners on base (12-58 ).

 

Go CUBS !!

Thats an eerie similarity.

 

So I'm guessing Dusty should book the moving vans for July 6th .

Jones flied out to left center field, runners holding

Of course it is, but the way I see it, it will keep them busy for a while and I will get a laugh at how serious they will take it.

 

It's like cubbierich's ridiculous Pujols is a coward thread. Reading that is high commedy

That is pretty strange. Let's hope the same thing happens in 2006.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez tripled to the right field corner, Walker & Barrett scored

We discourage trolling on this board, and what you described is pretty much the definition of it.

[Big Fergie J]

Yesssssss...an offensive explosion.....ARAM.

[E.J.]

Aram with a 2-run triple. Thank god he and Barrett are heating up.

[cheapseats]

If Ramirez hadn't loafed out of the batter's box, that would have been an inside-the-park homerun.

 

:twisted:

[soapy]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[UMFan83]

Sportsline erroneously claims that the Cubs actually came through. Just wanted to come on here and confirm the error.
