Can this team find another way to freaking lose a game?

[Allroy]

I am growing so tired of Dusty's excuses. It was a tough night. Its been a tough road trip. We just didn't hit. We don't have our horses. Our kids made some mistakes. We didn't play good defense. How about opening your eyes and seeing the Cubs are just a bad bad baseball team. We have lost games this year in every possible way I can think of. Errors, walk off hits, walk off grand slams, and now giving up 3 leads and walking in the winning run? I think if we can find a way to lose on a balk and a triple play, we will have completely ran the gamut. Wake up Dusty. Wake up and pack your stuff.

Can this team find another way to freaking lose a game

 

Yes...I'm sure they can.

 

I find it comical at this point.

[rynefan]

I agree. It is COMICAL in a VERY sick sort of way. Four errors? Our infield is playing like garbage, then again, how many different shortstops, second basemen and first basemen have we had this season? Four? Five? Back to back horrible losses late in the game.... walk off grand slam, walk off walk. Geez. These guys are a joke. I hope everyone is officially done waiting for miracles!

the Cubs are just a bad bad baseball team.

 

That is the key point that we have to hope Jim Hendry realizes. Without acknowledging that this is a bad team, instead of pretending it's all been a bunch of bad breaks, there will be no impetus for change. And without change, this team can't succeed.

I think the only thing left is for Zambrano to throw a no hitter and lose 1-0.

We did lose a game last year while striking out the last batter of the game. Haven't done that this year.

what? how?

[Allroy]

I forgot about that one. That was a classic. You are right, it is almost comical. I'm almost rooting for them to lose just so it will make Dusty and Hendry look like the clowns they are. I mean you can only call it bad breaks for so long.

I'd love for Dusty to say "I am not doing my job" because hes not. You can say that the manager doesn't go out and play the games, but roughly speaking, the managers job is to win games and hes not doing it. So take some accountability.

 

But even if he wanted to he couldn't, he has other adgendas relating to this offseason that he has to make himself look good for.

[soapy]

I found it commical that the very thing Dusty undervalues the most, walks, ended up losing the game for them in the end.

[thedaymen]

We did lose a game last year while striking out the last batter of the game. Haven't done that this year.

 

what? how?

 

Bases loaded. Pitcher (Dempster?) strikes out Philly for second out in Bottom of ninth. Barrett drops ball. Batter takes off for first. Barrett throws to first even though runner from third is on his way home. Winning run scores.

[Allroy]

Hendry is an idiot for not just firing Busty. Busty is trying to save face, we've heard every excuse in the book. He won't be accountable for anything, he's obviously looking at his future employment somewhere else. He's burning up Zambrano for no reason. Why is Lee even back? What is the point? The fact that he has D-Lee batting after Ram Ram infuriates me. Why give him any protection? So now he can pad his numbers in junk time even more and make it harder for us to sign him. It seems to me that is all he is doing. The guy loafs until he has to get off his ass. He's done that every year. The fact that he is going to get rewarded for that makes me sick. I think they should just sit both D-Lee and Ramirez for the rest of the year.

in response to the question this thread has asked... yes.
