5/30: Fish (Mitre) at Cubs (Lilly), 7:05 pm CT, WGN

[C.C.]

it's games like this that make it easy to wonder how the team even won 20 games this season

 

Poor overall talent + lack of baseball instincts + complete player apathy = 2007 Chicago Cubs

 

22-29? Overachievers!

 

why do you even watch?

 

Can't watch a better comedy than the Cubs.

 

Can't turn away from car crashes.

[tfarks]

Abercrombie hit by pitch

I'd ask for a bench clearing brawl, but I'm sure they'd lose that as well.

 

Haha. yes.

[C.C.]

Sori 0-2

[Omar]

Fake rally time! Get your fake rally caps on!

Miller in to pitch for Florida

They can't even muster that up today. DOA

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano grounded out to third, 5-3

Fake rally time! Get your fake rally caps on!

 

I expect two quick, easy 1-2-3 innings for the Cubs.

 

And here goes Brenly once again with the stupid excuses.

[d_money]

Watching this team is brutal.

 

Turn to CSN in about 20 minutes to watch the Sox/Aardsma walk in the final run vs. the Twinkies. That should make you feel better.

[JeffH]

Bob Brenly is very, very dumb.

[Omar]

Guys, for 1 inning, just try rooting for the other team. Watch how much better you'll feel.

[bhogg]

quick, someone tell smilin' Bob that bhogg should be a millionaire.

Miller in to pitch for Florida

 

Nice chance for the Marlins to get a little confidence for all their relievers

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot grounded out to short, 6-3

A Cubs pitcher that has control problems? Why I'd never...

If the Cubs win a game by September...will anyone notice...

 

Just like last year, no one is going to care from June through the rest of the season.

[eburgcub]

I just get in and turn to the game. Down 9-0 is bad enough, but then hearing the wind is blowing out 15-20mph the whole game!! Only the Cubs could find a way not to even get lucky enough to back into at least one run.

[Omar]

If the Cubs win a game by September...will anyone notice...

 

If a tree falls and nobody is around to hear it...

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 1-21 when they trail after 8 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!
