8/6 Cubs(Hill) @ Astros(Rodriguez) 7:05 P.M. CT CSN

[Irrelevant Dude]

bottom line is we are blowing this opportunity to take the division

Yep. Milwaukee is going to get hot again eventually and they will pull away unless the Cubs can turn it around. This has been a great opportunity to hold onto a division lead and start building a cushion, but none of that has happened.

[C.C.]

the cubs bullpen is fine. lou's overuse of certain pitchers in it isn't.

 

the cubs need offense and they need it badly.

 

Like Lou has a choice.

[anabiono]

Well at least "Alfonso Soriano" is going to be banned.

 

Really?

 

He dropped the F bomb

 

After being warned not to yesterday.

Where did I drop the F bomb?

 

you said "F*** YOU FLOYD"

 

I think I seen it as soon as the passed ball..Then I refresehd and it was gone

 

Go easy on him, Soccer-Momzillas. It's only a mistake if you don't fix it.

 

This reasoning causes you to tell you girlfriend she can just get an abortion.

 

if it is a joke, i don't see anything wrong with it...or something said in the heat of the moment in retaliation to some timebomb she planted in your brain...

 

not everything can be evenly divided and categorized in a neat perfectly symmetric vessel...life is messy

[Magnetic Curses]

so, if hendry wanted to make a waiver deal tonight, could philly or la block it?

Oh please. Are you seriously comparing those two things?

marmol and howry aren't the only pitchers in that pen. heck even eyre looks like he's rebounding lately.

Like Lou has a choice.

He has a choice when it comes to putting in Marmol/Howry when the Cubs are up by 4 runs, instead of using Wuertz/Ohman/Ehre in those situations.

I thought the Wuertz move was good. Unfortunate what happened.

With a 4 run lead, yes. Ok, so maybe not Ohman... but Wuertz and Ehre are perfectly capable of protecting a large lead.

Anyway does it look like Howry or Marmol are suffering from over usage? It's a moot point.

yes, they are, but context is so much more of a determining factor

Bottom 8th Brewers still down 6-2. What a wasted night.

it's hard to tell with howry, but i doubt overuse with marmol would be apparent yet. wait until later in the month.

[Omar]

I was gonna ask him in the next game thread if the Cubs won, what is a Handlebar McSkullet?

welcome to sucksville...

 

man, i made a deal with soriano at the start of the mets series (he didn't know about it, of course, but that doesn't matter)...the next time he hit a homerun i was going to buy his shirt...

 

bollocks

I'm beginning to think Hendry was fooled by July into thinking the Cubs didn't need another bat. The can't afford to take on payroll argument is an empty one - to the billionaire(s) who are going to purchase the Cubs an extra million is a drop in the bucket. Futhermore, why wouldn't he go for broke? To be known as the GM who helped the Cubs to a WS title would be unmatched. Also, he's gone with the new ownership, I don't think there's a much of a question. Given this the most plausible conclusion is actually believes they don't or didn't need another bat.

in the context of my eyes seeing such a horrible, horrible word, I am scarred for life.

I like the word bollocks. We should use it more in the States.
