and I guess that's why when any team could have had Fontenot they all passed.

[Magnetic Curses]

again we don't get braun out.

[rynefan]

He's no Ryne Sandberg, that's for sure.

Fielder 4 pitch walk

because he made a couple of errors?

[98navigator]

Hall out 5-3

 

10-2

[Sarcastic]

Yes! I can sense the resentment building... Fontenot will be the next scapegoat to be traded for peanuts.

 

Well, maybe not. Nobody around here has it in them to blame the young kid, especially since he is hitting way over his head.

 

This game can't be blamed on Fontenot. If the pitching had been less awful, those errors might have made a difference, but in this game they are just a small blip on the suckiness the Cubs have shown today.

[rynefan]

This whole debacle started with a Fontenot error.

[Coach C]

Man, what a piss-poor day. Nothing seemed to go right for the Cubs.

[Bruno7481]

It happens. Come out and win the series tomorrow.

[rynefan]

I don't think anyone is BLAMING this game on Fontenot, simply stating that it is sure not helping that his D is lacking today.

It really didn't help that Marshall couldn't do anything with his curveball all day but hang it belt high over the plate either.

Wish this wasn't a Fox game.

Yes, Jim Hendry said (on a Score interview a few days ago) that they didn't consider bringing him up until he improved his defense.

Yup. Need a strong game against Marquis after back-to-back stinkers and a tired pen.

Koyie out 4-3

Nope, but there are 2 unearned runs today.

His defense and a hole in his swing (which it looks like he has fixed).

he's been nothing special on defense, but he hasn't been that bad.

 

besides, the cubs haven't had a problem with defense this season, although that will almost assuredly get blamed if they fall short of the playoffs.

I don't think he'll be blamed but he has 3 errors in 3 weeks.

i'm not saying HIS defense, but defense in general.

Wish this wasn't a Fox game.

 

I guess I should thank my local affiliate for the Mets/Phils...
