Fontenot is officially no longer a stud..

Well...if Kendall catches the pop up we never end up with Ohman walking people.

 

you could also say if Marshall didn't walk the lead off guy and give up a hit, it never would have gotten to Kendall.

 

But I know better to argue when a player already has his grave dug for him before he comes over.

 

come on. kendall didn't even realize the ball was still in play until too late. he should shoulder a lot of blame for today's loss.

So much overreaction in this thread.

 

But that's what game threads are for.

I hate leading off innings with 2 AAA players.

[Soul]

i guess a 4 game winning streak is still solid

 

Not when it's ended by a game like this.

 

I think I might go out and kill a random dog.

great baseball teams lose 50+ games a year, even to crappy teams. i'll be worried if they play 2 games like this in a row.

Pitchers are going to occasionally walk and give up hits. Catchers should make the routine plays. Especially when they can't hit.

 

The people our pitchers have walked in the last two days is inexcusable.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Man, you gotta love this... 4 game winning streak, 16 of last 20. One bad game and the sky is falling. Leading off with AAA players!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Looks like the Rod Beck card is safe for one more night.

[Drew Doughty]

we're gonna win.

 

tomorrow.

Leadoff 2B for Byrnes - D-bags - errrr, D-Backs aren't done yet.

[Sosa21MVP]

It is officially OVAAA for the Cubs tonight. Book it.

 

top of the order comiing up. not so sure about that.

 

Somebody was going to say it so I figured I'd try to be first. :wink:

I didn't see the pop-up. From what it sounds like, that WAS Kendall's fault. I was talking about earlier in the game.

if Cobs win i'll buy premium for 5 lucky members

Kendall can't catch a pop-up.

 

Cubs keep walking free swingers.

 

WTH?

then let's be clear on routine, because I recall a month ago a worm burner bouncing out of Barrett's glove was not routine, but tonight a short hop that few catcher's in baseball come up with, allegedly six inches out of position or not, is suddenly routine.

[weis21]

Wow, what a depressing thread. I don't know about you guys but I was pretty sure the cubs were going to lose again sometime this year.

[JGalt73]

D-backs w/ a leadoff double in the 8th.

IMO, it wasn't exactly "routine", but an allegedly good defensive catcher should make that play...

[Soul]

We play the D-Backs right? They better suck as hard against us as they are against the Crew right now.

[Sosa21MVP]

I don't expect the Cubs to win out but losing this game would bug me only because of how the Giants scored those 2 runs in the 8th. Go down on a screaming line drive not on the heels of a pitcher who is afraid of the strike zone. :?

He's being facetious.

So long as the Brewers and Padres lose tonight it's a wash.

[TysonCBulls423]

NSBB is rubbing off on me. Just ask CT Cubs fan :lol:
