6/15 Padres (Wells) v. CUBS (Lilly) WGN 1:20 CST

And Barrett ends the threat by popping out to CF.

 

Barret haters will arrive in 3-2-1....

 

As they should... Wells was rattled and the umpire was squeezing him. You'd think MB would try to work it to his advantage. I swear Barrett doesn't think like a catcher.

and lilly still can't thow strikes

I don't hate him at all, just some of the things he does. In fact, I really wish he'd get his act together so we could keep him.

Was it a good pitch to hit? First one's the best one when the bases are loaded. Edited June 15, 2007 by Transmogrified Tiger

[Anomalied]

The calls are going the Cubs' way so far. Lilly was awarded a few questionable strikes in the first, and the umpire seems to be really squeezing Wells. That coupled with a weak Padres lineup, and this game looks very winnable. But I think that leaving them loaded in the first will come back to haunt us later...

[Iceblink]

I turn on the tv and there's an immediate fake rally. Awesomeness.

[C.C.]

I am appalled at how fast everybody has turned on Barrett...

 

I'm appalled by watching him play the game.

There's been an anti-Barrett lobby since he got here.

no, it was up and he naturally got under it

I love Barrett and I want him to turn it around. He's a good hitter and isn't as stupid defensively as he's shown himself to be this year. However, he's hurting us badly right now.

He's only here for his offense. If he can't come through in those spots he's basically useless.

Headly flies out to CF.

 

Two out.

 

Len said we may not see Kousmanoff all series.

 

That would be nice.

Yes he is...

It just makes good baseball sense to take a pitch after a guy has issued a walk of course, Barrett has never been accused of having Baseball "Smarts".

Yeah, but doesn't Blum kinda own us?

I, for one, don't want to turn on him, but he makes it very difficult not to.

[Moonlight Graham]

Nice inning by Lilly.

1,2,3.

[Derwood]

1-2-3, nice inning

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

It's good to see Lilly rebound with a 1-2-3 inning.

[inari]

Derrek Lee is an excellent pitching coach.

[C.C.]

Sweet! Now let's get some runs!

That's funny. The last three years, he's been one of the very few reasons to watch the Cubs, and two bad months into the next season, everybody says they can't stand him.

 

Barrett haters remind me way too much of Yankee fans... that whole "what have you done for me lately?" crap. It's disgusting... and it's certainly not befitting of a Cubs fan.

Yeah I see that .190 ba and keep thinking how he will get at least one hit this series to beat us. It is the Cub's way.
