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

[otis89]

I have a feeling this game thread is going to be very entertaining.

[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.

 

Oh I understand the mentality behind it, just can't actually root for them to lose. I really want the change of scenery in the dugout, but I can't consciously root for Cubs to get out and opposition to get hits and score. I dunno, just can't do it. :?

[Irrelevant Dude]

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?

This team makes me angry... ANGRY!!! Our 25th man is on pace for 302 at bats. Gotta keep him fresh dude.

[otis89]

No comments about the actual game so far and it's already the bottom half of the first. :lol:

Dusty's trying to save his job, and he turns to Neifi. That says alot.

0-0 after one. Why do I have the horrible feeling that the Cubs are going to win 4 out of 5 going into the break and salvage Dusty's job for the rest of the season?

[cubs121]

4 pitches 2 outs! ooooohh busty! :shock:

[cubs121]

CUBS fans Busty's time is now even more numberd! :shock: :evil:

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

So waht was that? About 18 or 19 pitches for Oswalt to get the first six outs. He'll throw a complete game tonight. :cry:

[otis89]

Hehe, Broad Assmus 0-40 at-bats -- ok he's probably a decent guy i don't even know 'im. get hot at the plate after the Cubs leave then.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Poor Ausmus. That was a pretty funny quote though, good to see he's keeping a good attitude about the 0-40 slump.

[cubs121]

wow the first hit came from NEIFI(busty's boy) PEREZ! :shock:

[otis89]

So waht was that? About 18 or 19 pitches for Oswalt to get the first six outs. He'll throw a no-hitter tonight. :cry:

 

Fixed.

 

Stupid Neifi. :evil:

[Irrelevant Dude]

Single for Neifi... Dusty is a genius!!!

 

It's too bad I dislike him so much now. I always liked Neifi as a utility player until he was constantly shoved down our throats.

[cubs121]

Happy birthday to Gary(the sarge) Matthews! have fun about it for a little while next week who knows! :?

[Tim Burr]

This could be a real pitching duel tonight. Neither pitcher has thrown a lot of pitches! Whoever scores one or two runs could be big!

[Schwarber Fan]

Top 3rd

 

Todd Walker flies out to deep LF

Neifi Perez reaches of an IF single

Sean Marshall out on a sac bunt, Perez to 2nd

[cubs121]

hey Busty is not the only one that like Neifi.... Santo said...

 

"Neifi's got a cannon"!

[Irrelevant Dude]

This could be a real pitching duel tonight. Neither pitcher has thrown a lot of pitches! Whoever scores one or two runs could be big!

Marshall looks pretty good tonight. Hopefully he can pitch a 9 inning shutout only for a reliever to come in and give up a run in the 10th for a 1-0 loss.
