if you can;t hit home runs or take walks, you can't win.

When was our last home run? Friday? I can't ever remember a Cubs team with so many long home run droughts.

 

Friday. DLee's game tieing HR off El DoucheK

Fielder and Braun have gone deep tonight...

 

Fielder and Braun have a combined 52 HR.

 

To get to 53 HR for the Cubs you need to combine Soriano, Ramirez, Lee, and DeRosa.

 

 

The Cubs and Brewers both have 52 losses... The problem with the Brewers is that over 46% of their offense is homerun dependent.

 

How's that a problem?

 

 

It's a problem because they aren't able to score enough runs, on most days, to win when they don't hit homers. It's not a well rounded offense.

 

The way some people are talking, the Brewers should have fewer loses and more wins. They've out homered the Cubs by 64 (and two players combine for 52).

I think what you are failing to grasp is that each HR equals at least 1 run. Being "well rounded" is a non-sequiter as is the number of losses each team has. Give me a team of HR hitters any day.

 

The 64 more homers they've hit haven't given them much of an advantage in the standings.

 

neither has the 58 less runs we've given up.

 

please quit or find a better argument.

 

Disagree! The 58 fewer runs has helped to offset the offense not scoring 64 more homers.

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

 

Really?

Something along those lines was posted on page 51. I assumed a mod deleted it, maybe he did.

This game is NOT on the pitching, bullpen or otherwise. It is all on the pathetic offense Hendry has assembled, even though I'm sure the reactionaries will blame the pen.

 

Agreed. Six consecutive strikeouts? Can't score a runner from third? Cedeno starting? Cedeno batting second? I need a drink.

If this horrible excuse for a baseball game wasn't a wakeup call to Hendry, then he's not waking up. It's as simple as that. This team won't go anywhere without at least another bat and probably another arm.

Can't wait to see that outfield of Epatt, Jones, and Floyd tomorrow. Should be a great time.

Wuertz is not as good as people make him out to be.

 

That said, if we would have scored more than one run tonight, it would be moot for the moment.

 

He has an ERA of 3.46 which is behind only Marmol for guys who have spent a decent amount of time with the club. You could include Cherry who has a 3.00 ERA in 15 IP which would still put Wuertz third.
