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

[Derwood]

It's amazing that a team that can't get on base can hit into so many double plays. Doesn't seem to jive

[gerby23]

The Cubs have given me both terrible gas and an awful headache.

The Guinness ( your avatar) may have something to do with the gas

[Big Fergie J]

For those of you wondering about double play records. Here they are according to baseball almanac.

 

AL: Boston - 174 in 1990

NL: St. Louis - 166 in 1958.

So, yeah, we just may OBLITERATE the record

 

I wonder if MLB will put a * beside it in honor of the Juice ERA.

[Balsa]

Tjhe Cubs broke into my hosue, fell on a knife, and then suied mee for negligence.

I get gas just watching someone drink Guiness

[Sammy Sofa]

Schlock Jones has returned. Shoulda traded him when he was hot, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

No Guinness in weeks, sadly. Just some cereal, fruit and water today. The pain in my belly is all courtesy of the Cubs.

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

Don't know what that pace is or what the record is, but there ya have it

 

The pace is 210 -- don't know the record either, but that would have to set it.

 

We've got a good shot at it.

 

edit: misread the post.

 

We're going to destroy that record.

[Flames24Rulz]

ahahaha, we suck.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Way to show some fight Cubs!!! :roll:

17 more before the all star break and we'll basically be on pace.

 

Getting DLee back should help. He's pretty good at GIDP, and he'd be replacing Walker, who hits into double plays at a below average rate.

[Derwood]

game over? I have no idea what's going on

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Psssst, DB. Murton hasn't been used yet and is 3/4 against Lidge.

The only thing that will stop us is not getting enough players on base to double up.

[UMFan83]

You suck Cubs, stop representing the North side of Chicago with your disasterous play.

 

I vote that they change their name to the Packers until the end of the year.

[Sammy Sofa]

I wish I could fart all over this team.

[Soul]

Insanity.

 

Welcome to Cub Hell. The Friendly Confines has become a prison!!

 

Oh my God, it's only June 15th!!!! :shock:

[E.J.]

Awesome. Swept at home. 13 games under .500. Only one game ahead of the lowly Pirates for last in the division. We are so good it's ridiculous.

[Big Fergie J]

What a pathetic display...wasting Z's effort like that.

 

We are terrible.

[ToupeeOnFire]

And so it ends with a whimper.

 

The bright side: another dagger in Dusty's bloated corpse.

 

(Oh, who am I kidding. He'll be re-upped for 3 years. Yay squadron!)

[Derwood]

Remember when I complained at the start of this thread about it not being on WGN? I change that to a hearty thanks and keep up the good work to CSN

[UMFan83]

I blame this all on Scott Eyre. Why'd you break Lee's wrist?

 

 

(obviously he is by by far not the reason we suck, but it didn't help)

[Soul]

If I'm Prior, I might just need to start feeling tweaky again :o

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Wow......Santo sounds like death is at the door. He is just soooo depressed.
