Seriously, I'd rather Dusty never sacrifice than have him sacrfice with Austin Kearns up after two batters reach base.

 

Or just never sacrifice.

Frank Robinson is no baseball manager mastermind. If anyone could contend for worst manager in baseball with Dusty Baker, Frank is the man.

 

Flippy Alou, Ned Yost, and Grady Little would have something to say about that.

Hahahahaha, swept by the Nationals.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We suck.

[soccer10k]

So, who's ready for a Mets sweep?

 

I know I am!

 

Not going to happen because Z is starting on Tuesday.

[UMFan83]

Let's just not start a game thread tomorrow

[sweetpeteman]

Let's just not start a game thread tomorrow

 

I agree

[Sammy Sofa]

So stupidly, my dad and I go to all 3 games here in DC, just like we did last year. I know this team has been especially awful this year...Lord knows I've seen enough debacles on TV...but seeing them play this bad live...I don't know, it's spirit-crushing, man. Yesterday and today, my dad and I did something we've never done in the 20 years we've been going to Cubs games together...we left early.

 

Awful.

[Andy]

2nd time out of 3 series we've been swept by Washington

 

The highlight of the day was Hawk Harrelson saying that it was "BS" that Jon Garland got warned by the umpire for pulling an Estes and missing to the wrong side of the butt when he attempted to retaliate Padilla hitting Cintron in the Sox game. Amazing. "We didn't even hit anyone and we got warned!" said Hawk.

[Soul]

Hold out just a little longer.

 

 

....just a little bit longer..........

 

 

July 27th gentlemen. Baseball season ends July 27th.

[goonys evil twin]
