Man we are bad at offense.

 

Good thing the front office is satisfied w/ the current roster....

[jjgman21]

lost in the shot of the two greaseball Met fan kids was John Cusack on his cell phone.

[Keener98]

I'll give Hamels credit, but it seems like the guys are sleepwalking through this one with their plate approaches.

 

Blown chance, it appears.

 

Problem is, its basically the same plate approach they have shown the entire year.

[jaydee]

Is Dusty Baker the Phillies' manager?

[illiniguy]

We better win the next two, we've got a really tough series against the Mets coming up.

Yeah and the Cards have two layups.

[Mizzou]

Fontenot against the left handed Hamels? Don't we have someone else on the bench? Uh... Zambrano?

 

Yea I like Z's chances better than Fontenots sub .600 OPS

Umm, Fontenot doesn't have a sub 600 OPS.

[JWCUB]

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Boo Cusack

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dempster in to pitch for the CUBS

[Alfonso Soriano]

The only good thing about this loss is it will show Hendry we need another bat

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dobbs popped out (foul) to shortstop

[badger1679666666]

Man we are bad at offense.

 

Or Man Hamels is one of the elite pitchers in the game.

 

or both.

since the All Star break he does

no it wont

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

glad to see the cubs playing well tonight :roll: like has been said already from what i've read...good thing hendry is set with this team to try and win the division....

 

and of all the phillies to do the damage i couldnt be any more angry to find out it was rowand and iguchi

[Alfonso Soriano]

Was that Sylvester Stallone?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Iguchi walked

[Fred Hornkohl]

Iguchi stole second base

[bhogg]

I've watched teh cubs since '84 and I never remember them playing well against teh phillies.

 

 

 

Why the hell do we not attempt to throw out baserunners?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rollins singled to right field , Iguchi to third

[E.J.]

When was the last time our catcher even attempted to throw out a runner? Our pitchers are terrible at holding runners on.

[Mizzou]

I figured that's what you were referencing... kinda cause you've said that at least 80 times in the last two days.

 

Switch it up a little bit, like maybe mention that his OPS this month is sub 500. It makes your case so much better.
