5/14 Cubs(Marquis) @ Mets(Glavine), 6:10 CT WCIU/ESPN xm 184

[Derwood]

i'd like to have a "pour it on" game instead of a "score early then wait for them to catch up" game

 

i hate being right

2007 - Discovering new ways to lose.

[abuck1220]

that's why you can't stick in the big leagues, wuertz. damn, is he frustrating.

[JeffH]

A truly horrible effort by a truly horrible baseball team.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

dusty must have been having flashbacks in the booth

[RichHillIsABeast]

AND THAT IS WHY YOU DON'T BASICALLY INTENTIONALLY WALK A GUY TO LOADED THE BASES!! Idiots. Should have just pitched to Beltran. At least the Mets would have earned the win then.

 

Um, Delgado is really struggling this year. Beltran is mashing. Walking Beltran is the way to go. Reyes scores from second on a single.

 

It's not Lou's fault Wuertz couldn't throw strikes.

[rickrolled]

looks like wuertz is coming back down to earth

It's really annoying...even when they win this way, it seems like they get all the scoring done within the first 3 innings and then the bats go to sleep.

[mul21]

I put that loss entirely on whoever decided to tell Wuertz to even concern himself with Reyes at 1st. You just can't let a guy like Endy freaking Chavez draw a walk because the coaching staff decides the pitcher needs to throw over to 1st 4 times and then pitches out. Also, part of the blame is on Blanco for not being able to do the only damn thing he's good at.

I wanted Demp in the 9th.

[Soul]

I see no way this club does anything of note in '07.

 

This is the worst bullpen I think I've ever seen.

[seanimal]

Horrible.

Co-sign. I'm hanging up my hat early... at least for the Central.

Put a fork in em.

Does it matter? If we didn't lose in the 9th we would've lost in extra innings.

i put the blame on the guy who walked three straight hitters. but that's just me.

The problem is that the "pour it on" game is almost always followed by the "unable to score" game.

This is the worst bullpen I think I've ever seen.

A bullpen with LaTroy Hawkins as closer<<<<< Any other bullpen

[Soul]

In a big way. His control is kaput.

Alright, the 2nd worst 8-)

Between the bullpen and the fielding, I feel sorry for the Cubs starting pitchers...

[Omar]

Well... I'll say it again. Welcome to the Chicago, Lou.

definitely not the worst bullpen we've ever seen. we've seen rick aguilera, felix heredia, antonio alfonseca, mel rojas, etc. in recent memory

[Handlebar McSkullet]

This is just unbelievable. At least last year they were bad... This year they are wasting so many games.

If and when they come back down to earth a bit we are looking at another disaster of a season.
