7/17 CUBS (Marshall) vs. Giants (Zito), 7:05 PM CT, CSN

[Omar]

Hm. Well, I already hate Kendall. And all the positive feelings I had about this team have been sucked out.

 

 

Jumping to the gun just a little bit there Tomy?

 

Oh, I'm not giving up. I just feel "not as good." I still think we'll make the playoffs with a little luck, but there's losing, and then there's losing because your new catcher who is apparently here to be an upgrade botches a play like that.

 

I still feel we're a good team, I just don't feel good.

 

You'll feel better when kendall starts hitting.

 

That's incredibly not comforting.

 

But, but...he's a career .298 hitter. That means he'll necessarily hit that well the rest of the way...

 

Change of scenery, dude.

[Prior4CyYoung]

and ofcourse once again Cubs cant hit a lefty.

[inari]

This doesn't look to be our game until Zito gets out. The offense looks trashy, Marshall looks bad, and Zito looks excellent.

[Flames24Rulz]

So much for that amazing lineup against lefties.

[inari]

And the Brewers have tied it. What a fun night so far.

[Mizzou]

This doesn't look to be our game until Zito gets out. The offense looks trashy, Marshall looks bad, and Zito looks excellent.

He's at 73 pitches now, so hopefully he can only go a max of 7 innings.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Soriano really likes the little hop before the catch. He's doing that a lot now.

[CubmanPi]

Lots of warning track outs for the Giants tonight.

I can't believe that at all. I figured he was at a lot less. He's made this look pretty dang easy.

Sure more than just Kendall's gaffe contributed to the runs scoring, but Kendall boo booed on a play that most competent catchers make.

 

If we're going to have a catcher who can't hit, I'd prefer that he play stellar defense.

 

That was a pretty tough hop w/o moving out of position. Hops aren't easy with a catcher's glove.

[inari]

We just really want to let Pedro Feliz on base as much as possible.

[CubmanPi]

Ramirez, the defensive liability, didn't hustle at all on that play.

A major league catcher has to make that play, and the vast majority of them would. I'm going to give Kendall the benefit of the doubt and say that that was the 1 out of 100 instance that he doesn't make that play.

[inari]

Brewers lead. Fun night.

[Jazz]

14% of cubs fans are clinically [expletive].

[abuck1220]

Brewers lead. Fun night.

 

honestly...time for a mass suicide. who's with me?

Pass the kool-aid.

The 14% of the cubs fans probably picked stand pat because they thought Hendry would acquire another useless bum like Kendall.

Once Kendall has caught Marshall a few times, that won't happen.

[inari]

Brewers lead. Fun night.

I'm actually constructing a doomsday device. No one will have a choice.
