7/14 Mets (Trachsel) vs. Cubs (Maddux) 1:20PM CT CSN/ESPN

[PrimeTime]

I dont even want to go to the game tommorrow and watch this crappy team play.... Free tickets though... Only good thing is Z is pitching

[soccer10k]

That could be the ugliest looking double play I've ever seen.

I hope the Cubs decide not to trade Ohman. Lefties are hitting .169 against him.

 

If they get a good offer for him, they'd be stupid not to trade him. His pitching has added about one win over a replacement level pitcher this year, and that's the same level of performance that PECOTA expects through 2010.

 

I'd rather see the Cubs go the Zambrano/Liriano route with middle relief; bring up promising minor league starters, and give them regular work out of the bullpen. Note to Hendry/Dusty: this won't work too well with 7 men in the bullpen.

 

Ohman is a left-handed specialist of course he is not going to get alot of wins. His job is to get left handers out and he excels at that. Yeah I would consider offers for him but if im not overwhelmed im holding on to him.

Not wins, as in W-L record, wins as in how much he affects the season. I'm all for trading Ohman in a good package. The Cubs aren't a lock to keep him on the roster next year anyway.

Ohman's a mediocre loogy. The Cubs could find guys as good as him, if not better, in their own system.

I feel bad for my co-worker. She went to this game because she couldn't get tickets for the game on her birthday, and this is what she got to see.

Are you kidding me?? Left-handed specialist are hard to find. The Cubs have a good one in Ohman. Not many major leagues teams can say they have that one left-handed pitcher in the bullpen who can get a lefty out. My opinion im holding on to Ohman for next year.

Thats how to beat Wagner in this situation, work the count. Billy tends to have trouble focusing in non-save situations.

Or, you could swing at the first pitch, Neifi.

Ehhhhhh...I may have gone a bit overboard in ripping him, since Dusty's usage patterns this year have seen him face more righties than lefties.

 

However, his HR/9 in general and his numbers against right handers are disconcerting. He should only be used against left handers, needless to say.

Hahahaha, Woodward becomes the third opponent to be robbed of a home run by blind umpires who can't understand the concept of the basket this season.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

And to think, I missed two episoded of the A-Team to watch this pathetic display!

[impaler_240]

I hear the Cubs sucked today.
