09/07 Pittsburgh (Chacon) @ CUBS (Marshall) 1:20 CDT, WGN TV

[TruffleShuffle]

Every shot of the crowd amazes me more and more. I have never seen Wrigley this empty before.

 

I know what you mean, seems sad but not at all unjustified. The team sucks and the attendance reflects the level of interest at the present time. The team mailed in in when DLee went down. It took the fans a little while to realize it, but why would anyone support a group that has quit on it's fans?

 

Why am I here?

 

doesn't cost anything to come to a game thread and make fun of the cubs

looks like Dusty's "day after labor day" explanation for yesterday's paltry attendance has been torpedoed

 

especially since yesteday was two days after labor day

 

Really? Math, that's not my department dude. .

Oh I agree completely with you that it is justified for the fans to not show up. I was just pointing out that Wrigley is rarely this empty. If I had the chance to routinely attend games, I wouldn't be showing up now either.

If by "group," you mean the front office, then I agree.

 

If you mean the players, I disagree. They didn't quit on anything; they just aren't very good.

I would agree with that-I've seen many people say that the players look like they do not care whatsoever. To me, it looks like they are trying hard out there-the talent level out there especially at this point is just pretty bad.

Dusty quit in sept '04.

[coldsteel]

d'amaso is in the game -- this should assist the cubs greatly!

[Jim Ignatowski]

These teams are sooooooooooooo bad....

 

How bad are they?

 

They're so bad they can't even get Tom Petty to sing between half-innings on mlb.tv

[coldsteel]

Browse and compare a great selection of cubs.

[TruffleShuffle]

a pitching change to get Henry Blanco out? Give me a break.

[Mizzou]

Why did Dusty remove Moore from the game?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Why did Dusty remove Moore from the game?

 

Defense I imagine. Gotta protect the tie at home, or something

[illiniguy]

Heat dude, it's hot for September.

[illiniguy]

Chris Duffy folks.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

YES

[soccer10k]

Oh my lord. 4-4 and 2 HR for CHRIS DUFFY?!?!

 

Len just said Duffy had 388 total plate appearances at the ML level with just 1 HR coming into today.
