PATIENCE

[Skyballer]

Damnit, damnit, damnit. Why don't we have anuy patience, that's why we can't win. GEEZ, somebody teach the cubs to take a few pitches and stop swinging at pitches out of the zone. What do all of you think?

 

Edit:not sure where this goes.

[Bote McBoteface]

Yeah, we've had a lot of trouble winning lately. Losing all this ground on the Brewers this past month or so has been difficult to watch.

I'm talking about yesterday and today.

[anabiono]

i agree...it isn't prudent to relax upon one's laurels...

if you think the cubs are going to continue to win games by dribbling grounders through the infield, you're in for a disappointment.

[CyHawk_Cub]

We definitely need to hit more HRs...

[seanimal]

I'm not sure I've seen this anywhere but I think the Cubs should hit for more power.

[Rusch33]

The Cubs are 3.5 games behind the Brewers.

 

Relax, it's a long season.

 

Some of you people need to step away from the ledge.

We drew 6 walks yesterday and didn't win either. Forking Cubs.

Well worth it's own thread.

The Cubs are 25th in walks, 19th in OBP, and 15th in SLG this year. They've gone through six weeks of pitching real well, playing real bad teams, and getting pretting good luck (I don't know what their team BABIP is but it has to be in the lucky range).

 

The Cubs have pitched well and played good defense for the most part and have been lucky. They are in a good position now. I hope now that Lee has got some rest for that wrist hell start hitting some HRs and the Cubs can stay in the hunt.

 

But they will need a lot more good luck and extremely good hitting from Lee, Rameriz, and Soriano the rest of the way.
