6/15 Astros [Nieve] @ Cubs [Z] 1:20 pm CT on CSN

[Big Fergie J]

Great, just great.

 

Walkeh must have been drinking Neifi's koolaid today.

[Balsa]

Tool frriggin preditcablte.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

I feel so bad for Santo. Every out just seems to rip out a bit of his soul.

 

Just after Walker's DP he said, "Gosh....this game is not that hard!"

[NorthsideAvenger]

The only hope I have is that the media pretty much bands together, and makes the next 3 1/2 months SO UNBEARABLE that Baker will not considered coming back. I want Baker/Hendry faced their music EVERY DAY. They can't run and hide behind injuries and bad breaks, they need to take the public execution on a daily basis.

[Soul]

We've GOT to be on pace to set a DP record.

 

Got to be.

 

Never seen a club that hits into more DPs than this one. It's beyond comprehension.

[C.C.]

Typical Cubs inning. #-o ](*,)

 

sure is....Now we will lose to really make the day complete.

 

 

good call

 

So predictable.

[ToupeeOnFire]

I'm really worried about Ron Santo's health right now. He's apoplectic.

[gerby23]

I just wonder how we lose this game today? Should be interesting...

quickly it looks like

I hate being right

Apparently, it is.

Which is why I'm kind of hoping the Cardinals continue to win games without Pujols to prove that you can win with your star player down.

[thedaymen]

I hate having to watch this implosion on Astros TV...in other news Walker just grounded into the Cubs 83rd & league leading double play

 

So what do you do to Walker if you're the Cubs...bench, demote, designate or kill him?

[UMFan83]

I've wanted a good hitting catcher in this town for years.

 

We finally got a good one, only the rest of the team sucks so it doesn't matter.

 

I'm in Cubbie Hell right now. I need to get home from work and just down about two fifths of JD.

 

Somebody edit Howry's line to reflect how he ACTUALLY pitches. He's junk, I've never seen him not struggle.

 

Yeah, wish we could do that with several pitchers in the past. Kent Mercker and Mark Guthrie come to mind immediately.

 

*ducks after Mercker comment*

Agree, but Tribco owns the media.

Make him room with Neifi.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Base hit to left for Tavarez.

Or give him an extension for way more than he is worth because he has been swinging at a lot of first pitches lately ya know

[sweetpeteman]

Walker being benched won't affect anything, he's been sucking lately anyways... batting .205 with a .295 OBP in June.

Start him for the rest of the time he's with the team.

 

Trade him to a contender that needs a second baseman.

[gerby23]

Astros are 13-1 in one run games, Cubs are 5-12.

As soon as Valentin slumps, the Mets will probably be looking for a second baseman.

[gerby23]

In more interesting news, there is a lady on the 1st base line with an Egyptian headress on. Watch if they show a LH batter from the RH side.

[BigSlick]

Got to be.

 

Never seen a club that hits into more DPs than this one. It's beyond comprehension.

 

And gaffes quite as often as we do when trying to turn them.

 

Ugh.

yeah, it's a nice pharaoh look

That was my first thought. Sadly, Walker does not speak Spanish, so Omar probably won't be interested in him.

She is reflecting back to the period when the Cubs last won the World Series. :(
