This bunch of losers doesn't deserve the courtesy of a game thread.

Dear Suckago Cubs(thank you rynefan):

 

You suck bowling balls through a straw.

 

Sincerely,

pretty sure I called for a sweep just a couple of days ago...

[Flames24Rulz]

I'll save everyone the trouble.

 

We won't win.

Well then...looks like we have quite the predicament then...

 

*universe implodes*

When is this offense going to wake up?

 

When Izturis, Derosa, Jones, and Floyd are not getting AB's.

 

In other words, years from now.

Well, let's see. DeRosa has a .849 OPS-I'm not exactly sure how he's hurting the team-considering that's the 6th highest OPS among second basemen in all of MLB. Floyd has a 741 OPS-not good, but not hurting us too much considering the other OF options right now. Here are the guys who are hurting us (excluding Pie and Cedeno, since they are gone):

 

Blanco-.207/.250/.276

Jones-.250/.303/.343

Izturis-.266/.328/.330

 

And the guys who are dangerously close to joining those 3:

Theriot: .288/.353/.353

Murton: .286/.343/.374

Barrett: .243/.290/.426

 

The major thing I see out of that is the Cubs need either a SS or a CF, now. There are 4 options there (Jones, Pagan, Izturis, Theriot) and the only one with good numbers is Pagan, and he's not an everyday player. They have to get 1 of those positions filled with an offensive player, especially with the two catchers both playing horribly.

[CubmanPi]

It's definitely becoming borderline impossible to give a crap anymore.

 

 

Go Cobs. :(

[UMFan83]

This has all the makings of "we lost the first 2 with pathtic offense and now we are facing a shutdown pitcher so we'll probably get swept but all the sudden our bats come alive and stave off a sweep with a blowout victory"

[JeffH]

It does?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

SWEEEEEEEEP!!!

[killthegoat06]

Go Cubs?

[YearofDaCubs]

Why not go for the trifecta?

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

I HATE YOU CHICAGO CUBS!

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

I HATE YOU CHICAGO CUBS!

 

kind of ironic that was my 1,000th post

[ctcf]

Very close to giving up :(
