6/5 CUBS (Lilly) @ Brewers (Vargas) 7:05 WGN TV

[Sammy Sofa]

Wow, nice outing, Eyre.

[Keener98]

Holy crap, a 1 2 3 inning for Eyre? wtf

[98navigator]

Eyre very impressive. Nice 1-2-3 inning

[DurbanJer]

DFA that piece of crap already.

 

We traded a future HOF'er for him.

 

Sad.

 

I'm pretty happy with our rotation's performance outside of Zambrano. Maddux would have only taken up space and salary.

 

Maddux for prospects on the other hand...

 

Maddux for 1 year >>>>>>Marquis/Lilly

 

 

In Petco perhaps but I'm not convinced Maddux would pitch as well at Wrigely Field at this point of his career. His ERA was ballooning when he left us.

 

Well, factor in we have Lilly for 3 more years. I'm still terrified that tonight's performance is the norm for him. Been around the league roughly once - he's fared far worse 2nd time through a team. And his flyball ratio scares the bejesus out of me in Wrigley.

[GlassCow]

Eyre pulls a rabbit out of his ass. I'm certain that I'm being setup for some horrible dissapointment.

[DurbanJer]

This is the inning guys. Sori to lead off.

[98navigator]

BS!

[Butterscup1679666578]

dammit

[Roast]

Yeah those young kids can drive runs in with their youth, almost as good as with your glove.

 

I dont know if you're being serious or not, but if you are, then if we got a crappy prospect at least we could let him waste away in the minors as opposed to paying him 4 million dollars to watch him fail time after time.

[Lukin]

BS!

 

He went.

[Brian]

Seems we always lose the check swing calls when battting and when we are pitching.

I was totally joking, the GBI thing should have been the point when we canned Hendry.

Not to mention the fact that we would no longer have to listen to clueless people prattle on about what an asset he is.

[Lukin]

Nice cut, Pie.

Somebody tell me to shut up. Sheeesh.

Nothing in his career suggests that he'll normally give up 6 runs in 5 IP.

[illiniguy]

nice inning. this thing is over Turnbow then Cordero.

[GlassCow]

Well, that inning was certainly a kick in the nuts with a steel-toed boot.

[98navigator]

I haven't given up tonight but it's looking like the Cubs will need Z to pitch like he has a brain tomorrow.

[soccer10k]

I haven't given up tonight but it's looking like the Cubs will need Z to pitch like he has a brain tomorrow.

 

HAHAHAHA, yeah, that'll be the day.

Maddux for prospects on the other hand...

I would have liked to get Matt Kemp or Andre Ethier for him.

 

If you believe the rumors, they weren't really available.

 

I would have thrown in the necessary prospects along with Maddux to get one of those guys, though.

I would have taken their worst prospect instead of taking Izturis and his salary.

 

Yup. At least with a prospect you don't have to pay $4.15M for this year.

Oh we will pay next year too. JH will pick up that option before he is canned. A going away gift if you will.

Ha ha, I don't know why I'm laughing but I can def see that happening.

[Brian]

Eyre was good so Wuertz will suck.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

The fact that we continue to throw Wuertz in the 7th and Howry in the 8th pisses me off to no end.

[98navigator]

When Wuertz walks his first batter it's never good

[YearofDaCubs]

The fact that we continue to throw Wuertz in the 7th and Howry in the 8th pisses me off to no end.

That bothers me too but why bring in one of your best relievers when we're down? Is it just me or has Wuertz been used a lot.
