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

Aramis Ramirez went 0-4 with an error in his first game as a Cub too. I'm not directly comparing the two, I just think we could give him more than a game before rendering judgment. I second the mulligan.

 

I think it's fair to directly compare Kendall and Aramis. Both are former Pirates. Both are right-handed hitters.

 

This is never going to end is it?

 

Not until the end of the season, when the Cubs finish out of the playoffs and Hendry reprises his 2006 mantra: "I just can't put my finger on what went wrong."

 

Predicting the future? This is silly.

kendall was no the only reason we lost the game, only a part of it (albeit a big part of it, and given the fact that he was supposed to have minimal impact, not negative one, hes going to be the scape goat).

 

lou's horrible mismanagement of the 8th inning. How do you let ohman face 2 more batters after getting bonds out. Shoulda thrown weurtz in their asap.

 

And will ohman, HOW THE HELL DO YOU WAlK 2 CONSECUTIVE PITCHERS TO LET THE GIANTS TAKE THE LEAD. We gotta get rid of this schmuck. DAVE FREAKIN ROBERTS WILL.

 

The cubs offense and pitching as a whole were horrible when it came to walks. We surrendered 7 walks to a very impatient giants team, while we let the supposedly erratic Zito keep us to the minimum of 0. That is a huge disapointment.

 

Overall, bad game by most of the whole team. And lets not try Soriano at the 5th spot anymore. In theory, it shoulldnt be a problem, but the guy is hitting .170 when he isnt leading off, so lets stick with what works.

 

:lol:

 

venting will do that to me :P
