[Exile on Waveland]

Seriously, Eyre is terrible. How does Lou not realize it? He has to, right? Why does he always pitch?

Lou brought him in because he already have up winning this game. I don't blame him though. This team always finds a way to make huge mistakes which cost them runs. It is absolutely pathetic.

 

He certainly shouldn't have given up winning a game down two runs in a hitter's park. That's absurd. Second, Eyre has pitched in many close games, surely Lou hadn't given up winning all those too?

 

This is only Eyre's 4th appearance in the past 2 1/2 weeks. One of those was the final out of a 7-1 win, and 1 of those was in extra innings when the Cubs were running out of pitchers. Lou hasn't been using him in many close games lately.

 

I'll stand corrected. It just seems like he pitches all the time.

 

However, that's "giving up on winning this game" would be moronic. I seriously, seriously doubt that entered Lou's mind. It's a hitter's park and it was a two-run game in the sixth.

[PrimeTime]

Now they hold Soriano on..Were not gunna get him in now

[Butterscup1679666578]

Come on Ramirez.

[Flames24Rulz]

Come on Aramis...just a flyball.

[seanimal]

I bet Ramirez squanders this opportunity.

[Yeti]

ARam DP

[Shilzzz]

good idea to hold up, no way he scores there.

[bhogg]

Not since the days of Lenny Harris have we had a leadoff hitter that COULD NOT SCORE FROM 2nd ON A SINGLE.

 

Way to go Soriano!

Yeah, I bet that CCP also doesnt think that it actually entered Lou's mind, but its a coment on how bad Eyre has been and that it seems stupid to bring him in to a tight game that we still have a chance in. And now that we have come back a little it looks like it was.

[Flames24Rulz]

YES!!!

[Yeti]

so with Soriano a bit gimpy can we please drop him down in the order a bit?

[OleMissCub]

that's probably why they didn't call me in for an interview for the 3rd base coaching job :)

[da bears]
