hi guys!!! dont you love watching great pitching beat great hitting!!! its like fishing for stipped bass, you gotta pay attention tot he seagulls!!!

 

what the hell happend to Z?

[soapy]

It's only the 6th inning of a 1 run game. Murton can pinch hit for the pitcher's spot and take Floyd out defensively.

I know. I'm just frustrated. This blows. Feels like 2006.

[illiniguy]

nice managing lou.

 

who would have played right field?

Murton

[BigSlick]

This team is a joke w/ the notable exceptions of Lee, Ramirez, Hill, and Wuertz.

 

Hey now, Ted Lilly has pitched pretty well so far.

He definitely could do that-I was just referencing the idea of him pinch-hitting for Jones. I bet Murton will still pinch-hit sometime later in this game.

 

Edit: Oh, I understand now. You were responding to the same thing. Never mind :D

2 weeks into an 8 year deal, I can conclude that Soriano is a BUST

 

:roll:

 

Yeah sarcasm implied seeing as how I wrote it like that.

 

However, it didnt take me 2 weeks to figure out it was a terrible signing. I said it the moment it happened. Why we gave $136 million to a guy with a career .835 OPS I will never know

He's a mental/emotional midget.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Cubs are going to win this game so everyone sit down, shut the hell up, and enjoy. ;)

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

My cautious optimism is about to turn to raging pessimism.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Encarnacion struck out swinging

Because he's got tools and the GM is a desperate fool.

This is true.

[Magnetic Curses]

this stuff only happens to the cubs in their cursed park.

[brinoch]

Soriano might have made a boneheaded play, but the reason the Cubs are losing this game is simple. Walks. Plain and simple.

 

It's a lesson that should have been learned one or two hundred times over, but seemingly hasn't been learned. Walks will kill you.

I am gonna see what I can do about putting a curse on the Cardinals when I go there this year.

[Derwood]

i can see that i'm going to win my bet by taking the over on Soriano's pickoffs this season

only a card fan can put a curse on the cards.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hatteberg flied out to left field

[minnesotacubsfan]

did Z have 4 bb's in one inning? is that what happened?

 

jebus

Figures. What if I wear a Cardinal hat?

[98navigator]

nice managing lou.

 

who would have played right field?

 

Murton

 

The bench is already short. Murton had to stay seated. Lou didn't want to use DeRosa either but he's hoping to get some extra offense from him.

i don't think it will work.

It's unfortunate that our #1 pitcher is one of the worst offenders in this area.

[YearofDaCubs]

I haven't been happy with Lou's managing so far.
