7/5 Cubs (Marshall) @ Astros (Oswalt) 7:05 PM CSN

[impaler_240]

The misery continues....Cubs lose tonight 8-2

 

Loosing is not misery. Loosing is good. I hope the Cubs loose that last few games before the ASB. Then, there will be no question on JH mind, he has to make a change.

 

Then we finally can wave bye-dee-bye to Baker, Rothschild, Mathews, and Clines.

 

The last thing I want is a 4 game winning streak going into the ASB.

 

So, LOSE LOSE LOSE!!!

 

you honestly can watch and wish them to lose? :cry:

ummm. . . . let me see. . . . . . . . YES!!! I finally put on my bright new Cubs jersey out and about today because of all the talk of Dusty and his "coaches" possibly getting kicked out of town. I put it on, because I look foward to coaches who do not tell batters to be aggressive at the plate, and a manager that might actually play some kids to find out what we've got for next year. Coaches that instead of ruining Corey Patterson types, could teach him to flourish. We all know if Dusty stayed Nevin would play LF and you'd see Neifi, and Nevin over the likes of Walker and Murton. If we need another SP heck we might even see Hill back up here instead of deadweight Rusch taking a spot from a possible future Cubs starter.

 

Now you tell me, if it means Dusty and his crew are gone. What is wrong with them loosing? When we get those guys outta here then I am going to bleed for every Cubs win, even if they don't matter this year. Because I feel like we'll finally be on the right track for next year!!

I agree with the Brothers Giles on this one. Hendry still can muck it up in the time left this season by either keeping Baker or an interum hire. However if it means that the Cubs get beat down the next few days so that they have the opportunity stand tall next year, then bring on the beat-down.

I see nothing wrong with the wishing they'd lose today in order to affect change for the better tomorrow theory. It can be tough to carry out, but there's nothing wrong with it. Wishing they'd lose to keep bandwagon fans away or keep the lovable losers formula intact is pretty pathetic, but wishing they'd lose so they'd fire the people making all the wrong moves isn't a bad idea at all.

[E.J.]

Please send Murton to AAA please. Riding the bench isn't going to help him.

[UMFan83]

We are so close..... we don't have to root for them to lose much longer. Everyone hold out for just a few more games.

Wait about a week, and if we're lucky. We might have a manager that puts him out in LF every day.

[cubs121]

I really hope your RIGHT!

[Fro]

Dusty's gonna go down with his boy Nefi starting every game :lol:

I mean, honestly. Why the F is Neifi out in SS instead of Cedeno? Does Cedeno REALLY need the day off?

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

During the pregame show Dusty says, " You know if Prior hadnt given up the two walks before the hit by Berkman it would have been 1-0. " :roll:

 

It will never sink in.

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Dusty Quote #2

 

"They got most of thier hits with 2 outs and that is why they scored 4 or 5 of thier runs."

 

BTW "Cedeno is stuggling big time and that is why Neffi is in."

[YearofDaCubs]

Fire Dusty!!

[A New Era]

Santo talked to Dusty in the pre-game show. Didn't talk about much really but the struggling. .

 

Now Santo is talking to the HITTING COACH! gene clines. I mean WHEN has he ever talked to gene clines!? Maybe it's to say goodbye I hope!! :D

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

LOL

 

Santo says, "Well at the start of the year we had a young team."

 

Freudian slip?

[coldsteel]

i think i may be off the fire dusty bandwagon -- wouldn't a better scenario be dusty at the helm for a 100-loss season, *then* bring in someone else -- because nobody any good would want to be an interim manager? would give hendry time for proper search, rather than mid-season panic? there's no danger of the cubs getting better and saving dusty's job, so i am thinking ride it out -- tho dusty could ruin more all-star careers but hopefully luck will prevail

[A New Era]

Either Gene Clines is nervous, knows he's getting canned, or he is stupid. Because he is stuttering and sounds so stupid when talking about "young hitters" and "ramirez struggling". . He's basically telling us what's happening, but now how to FIX IT!!

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Clines says, " Despite all that has gone on I have a really good feeling about the second half. I think we will start hitting and D Lee will get in a grove and everything will be alright."

NO!!!!

 

I want to see Murton, Hill, and Marmol play. . Not Nevin, Neifi, and Rusch. Don't you understand the benifit of that, and how it won't happen UNTIL Dusty is gone!?

A radio interview is not the place to have a tecnincal discussion about the art of hitting.

:lol: Now I know he knows he's gettin fired.

It's the place to sound stupid and nervous I guess, then. :?

We are going to have to disagree on this one. I didnt think for a radio interview he did that bad. He knows he is getting canned and he is being professional about it.

Then we agree. He is saying everything he can to sound positive so it will help him to find another job. But the things he said ticked me off as a Cubs fan.
