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

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

 

Plus San Diego lost also.

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

 

Just one of many in this horrible season.

 

LOL, horrible season? There must be a 2006 time warp I'm unaware of. ;)

[C.C.]

This feels like 2003. No one wants the division. It'll be decided in the last week of the season. The Brewers nor the Cubs are capable of staying hot.

I exaggerated, I'm just really ticked right now.

Well the good news is we don't lose ground.

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

 

p.s. let's keep quoting

 

lol

 

i don't have the heart to do it...that box was getting insane...

Both teams are capable of being hot. It just happens at the same exact time... probably because the schedule is so similar.

nooooooo.

 

You have scarred me also by making me lose track of the argument.

i already knew this month was going to be a huge test for the boys...even with soriano...however...if they can somehow play .500 ball for this month...i think we will be in great shape come august...and hopefully fonz will be close to swinging at pitches in the dirt again!!!

 

:P

It is August. :wink:

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

 

the cubs need offense and they need it badly.

 

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 any other business, management and executive-types, numbers-crunchers, etc. spend a lot of time trying to find out the reason why business is good when good and why bad when bad. they don't just sit back and say "well, i'm not looking a gift-horse in the mouth."

 

this is why hendry is bad at his job, he doesn't ask questions. he's like homer simpson thinking that jack'o'lanterns futures will peak around the first of the year. for a guy who's spent much of his life in baseball, he doesn't seem to grasp the idea that the cubs offense cannot sustain itself without some home runs, nor can they keep hitting near .300 w/risp. things like this do not happen, they are fools gold, and hendry looks like the biggest fool of them all.

[BigSlick]

This is hyperbole, I understand it.

 

But I feel like the Cubs are just not worthy to make the playoffs after the last 5-6 games. Come ON.

 

WIN A FREAKING GAME WHEN YOU NEED ONE

 

This lack of offense is killing me.

doh...this is what frustration will do to my thought process!

[C.C.]

BTW - Brewers lost!

Hey, I'm the same guy who thought it was the ninth inning for a while earlier when it was actually the tenth.

[Balsa]

Embarrassing loss.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Let me just say that once we went into extras I had a bad, bad feeling about the game. As it turns out, my feeling was correct.

 

God, I hate losing games like that...especially when I'm in attendance.

They'll probably win tomorrow.

 

Not facing a lefty.

[Marco4]

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

 

I particularly like it in the 'dog's' context. Look it up. Its not right to mention in a thread about the Cubs just now.

Embarrassing loss.

I know this may seem like a wild idea, but perhaps his hands our tied with the sale of the Cubs? Maybe, just maybe he can't spend more money? Don't you think he could get Griffrey or anyone else he would've?

i know it's a big thing of yours to disagree with me on pretty much everything, but i wasn't the one who made the argument that hendry could have made an acquisition before the deadline.

 

i don't think he's good at his job, regardless of how much money he can or can't spend. do i think his hands were tied a bit at the deadline? sure. now, go ahead and change your stance on this topic so you can disgaree with me some more, plz.

The comment was more for the person above you. I honestly didn't realize I disagree you as much as you say I do? Don't take it personal...
