7/6 Cubs (Marquis) @ Pirates (Maholm), 6:05 CT, CSN+

[otis89]

Why Koyie? Why not Ward or Floyd?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well that sucks.

 

Good job, bitches.

[Roast]

HEY GUYS I HAVE A GREAT IDEA. LETS LET OUR TWO TERRIBLE HITTING CATCHERS BAT BACK TO BACK IN THE 9TH INNING WITH RUNNERS ON!

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Why Koyie? Why not Ward or Floyd?

 

Lou must have had plans out on the town tonight

[Sammy Sofa]

Crap. Oh well, at least it was just a dumb loss as opposed to a "big" loss. Win the next two, ya bums.

[Sarcastic]

And the Cubs lose a game in the standings to drop to 5.5 back. On the plus side, the break is coming up soon.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lou won't pinch-hit Ward or Floyd against a left-hander unless he absolutely has to. Remember the same thing happened when he pinch-hit Hill against Colorado (Fuentes) and left Ward on the bench.

[Balsa]

I'm so sick of our catchers.

[CubmanPi]

So I know the Cubs have still been enjoying the best record since the third of June, but I'm still firmly in the "I don't believe" camp.

 

Starting pitching has been inconsistent from everyone except the guy who was our worst pitcher for the first two months, and this offense is not going to be anywhere near enough as is to make up for the pitching being so shaky. Everyone says if we just trade for ss/impact bat/corner OF/SP, we're on our way, but easy schedule or not, there are too many holes to keep this team from being consistent right now, and until the day that at least one impact player is signed to fill one, I don't see this season ending well.

[soccer10k]

I hate you Pittsburgh. Well, after the Brewers series, hate may be a strong word. Severely dislike works better.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I totally missed that Bowen had a hit last night

 

AWESOME, DOES HE HAVE ENOUGH ABs TO QUALIFY FOR THE BATTING TITLE YET???

[killthegoat06]

Wow is our starting pitching inconsistent.
