Thank you Jacque.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones grounded into a DP, 6-3, DeRosa out at second, Floyd to third

[ConstableRabbit]

Oh wait, I forgot Jones was up!

[lowest]

jones is having none of this rally nonsense.

[Elrhino]

If our starting rotation doesn't start going deeper into games in August, our bullpen could start unravel awfully fast. I don't expect much from Marquis, so Hill and Marshall need to step it up .... pronto.

I love all the posts saying the cubs are 6-7 in their last 13 games. That is such an ESPNish stat. Let me guess, they are 7-7 in their last 14? Maybe 8-7 in their last 15?

 

Why? I think people, including myself are pointing out that we are no longer hot and playing above .500 baseball.

 

Amazing thing is that we were able to take first place in that stretch. Probably just lost it though.

Can we release him tomorrow, pretty please??? We'd me much better off.

[USSoccer]

Jacque Jones is so great at baseball. I love him. He's my favorite player ever. I loved his signing, I loved his 3 year deal, I love his OF defense, I love his plate discipline, I love his attitude, I love his total lack of power.

 

He's dreamy.

[TruffleShuffle]

great managing lou, leave jones in against the lefty. dusty-esque

[synergy]

Jones, Dempster, Howry should just be DFAed.

[vj9999]

Pie could have done what JJ did. Bring Pie!!

Everybody likes Pie.

I wouldn't be so sure. Brewers are finding ways to lose right now.

[Brian]

Pagan should have hit for Jacque :x

[JimSorgi]

This game sucked.

[C.C.]

Pagan should have hit for Jacque :x

 

Marquis should've hit for Jock!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Dempster ruins what was a very exciting day for me.

[RyCubsFan]

Pagan should have hit for Jacque :x

 

Or Cedeno or Fontenot ...heck even Hill probably!

[soccer10k]

This game pisses me off even more than yesterday's.

[illiniguy]

of in our system i would rather have playing than Jacque.

 

Pie

Pagan

Fox

Colvin

DeRosa

Murton

etc.

[TruffleShuffle]

Jones, Dempster, Howry should just be DFAed.

 

boy i'm glad you're not running the cubs

[inari]

Gotta hope we don't get swept in this one.
