06/21 CUBS (Lilly) @ Texas (Padilla) 1:05pm, CSN, XM182

[wastra]

This is the team that was built to "win now?"

 

By my count, this team today has 4 guys who were planned to be backups (granted Ramirez is out, but still...)

 

Theriot

Ward

Bowen (?!?)

Pagan

 

Plus two emergency callups:

Fontenot

Pie

 

If we give them the benefit of the doubt and say that Ramirez' injury is the reason for one, and the DH is another, that's still 4 guys who shouldn't be starting for a team intent on winning a division right now.

 

 

 

Strike 32, Jim. You're way out of here.

 

Why is Jim Hendry still employed with this organization?

 

 

It's utterly incomprehensible.

[Soriano12]

The score would be 5-0 right now if Barrett was behind the plate, so things could be worse.

[inari]

It's the 2nd inning and this is already the most frustrating game of the year.

[JonnyRed]

Just wondering...does anyone know why Cliff Floyd is incapable of playing two games in a row? Did he sign a part-time contract? He is hurt? We need some bats in the lineup.

[UMFan83]

I wish the Cubs would lose 15-20 games in a row to put this out of reach so I don't have to worry about them anymore.

[Soriano12]

The American League knows how to smack around Lilly, hopefully the NL doesn't find out anytime soon.

[E.J.]

Haha. We're getting killed by the crappiest team in the Majors. Fitting. We should start losing on purpose so we can get the 1st pick of the draft next year.

[wastra]

This is the only orgainzation in baseball that could have a $100m+ payroll and STILL have to rely on a lineup with 3-4 planned backups and 2-3 emergency callups.

[inari]

How will we not score this inning? 1-2-3? Load the bases again? Make Padilla throw 30 pitches?

[cubfan1955]

Who the hell is Adam Melhuse?

Babe Ruth's great, great, great, great nephews brothers wifes sisters dogs mothers owners cousin. Homeruns are in his blood lines.

Would that matter? Or are you concerned about getting the minor leagues some championships before the ML ballclub? ;)

[E.J.]

We're definitely going down 1-2-3 this inning.

[Guancous]

The Rangers lineup is atrocious.

 

Victor Diaz is going to have 3 HR

 

Curses.

[Soriano12]

Today is the day Padilla gets his ERA south of 6.

Seems too boring.

The minors are where it's at. At least those guys try. I love following the minors.

Santo is flipping out during the commercial break (obviously assuming nobody can hear him)

 

"It's the same god damn thing everyday. It's like watching a @$%#$%@ minor league team."
