6/8 Cubs (Marshall) @ Braves (Cormier) 6:35 CSN, TBS

Cubs up 2-0 and people are bitching. Good God, come on.

It should be much more than that

Can't you be happy that we scored 2 runs in the first inning?

 

I'm very happy about Soriano, and the patience of Lee, Barrett, and especially DeRosa. The next three guys ruining a bases loaded nobody out situation is what makes me unhappy.

[Sarcastic]

Innings like tht make you realize just how great Jones and Izturis are.

 

And Theriot had a great hack at a fastball about a foot off the plate too.

Yeah but he hasn't been a wad of suck all year like the other two clowns.

 

A .685 OPS is a pretty big wad of suck. Not at all equal to the ones Jones and Izturis have been working on this season, but still pretty impressive.

[cubs121]

advice to Sean.... go out there get outs and let the offense come back on the field.. please dont keep em waiting..

Of course we are. Isolate the at bats from the game situation. Didn't Jones look terrible in his AB? Should I be happy that he hit that way because we scored 2 runs in the inning? Would you be happy if it was the bottom of the 9th in a tie game with the bases loaded?

[rynefan]

I'd love to go down to the Cubs-Rangers series. That stadium is nice. Took the tour a few years back.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Seriously please trade Jones. He is not good at baseball

Sigged

Cubs up 2-0 and people are bitching. Good God, come on.

 

I'd bitch if we were up 6-0. Bad baseball is bad baseball.

I know. That's the point.

 

No, bad baseball is the point. Games can be won and lost in the first inning, you know. Not stepping on a team's throat when you have the chance is a bad idea.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Those two pitches were the same, why was one called a ball

[rynefan]

Ah, but baseball has been good to Jock!

[cubs121]

I've noticed that happen alot... i dont know why they do that....

[da bears]

Dammit throw strikes.

.335 OBP is not great, but certainly not terrible. OBP should be rated more than SLG in this case

You are right, games can be won in the 1st inning but remember that we have the worst bullpen in the majors.

[Allroy]

Don't screw around Marshall. These guys can hurt you.

No, but that's a completely different situation. Obviously if he K'd with the game on the line, I'd be pissed off.

 

I watched the first inning, walked upstairs after it ended, and all the posts in here were bitchy and moany. It's just silly.

[UMFan83]

See this is why you need to score more than 2 with no outs in the first inning. Marshall seems to have trouble locating..

[rynefan]

Andruw Jones is deadly in the field and at bat. Yikes.

[Mizzou]

No, that's not the point. The point is you're bitching when we're up two runs. I'd hate to go to a game with a person like you.

[rynefan]

That .224 avg. is the most deceiving number around

[cubs121]

I remember Jones swung at everything and anything Sean threw at him last sunday..

I don't think its silly. They are pissed about about how Jock and Izzy suck at offense. If they had decent numbers this year and had a bad AB it could be excused. But the bottom line is that their numbers show that this type of thing is going to happen more often then it won't.

 

But yes, I do like the 2 runs.

[rynefan]

Thank you, whew.

[cubs121]

Pie with the catch, 2 down...

[Hairyducked Idiot]

.335 OBP is not great, but certainly not terrible. OBP should be rated more than SLG in this case

 

A not terrible OBP and a terrible slugging percentage may not combine to make you a wad of suck, but it makes you a borderline major leaguer.

Oh come off it, Pope Mizzou.
