trying to find the bright side - > at least they aren't doing this in the last 2 weeks of September!!!

[CDBears1259]

Well we're about to lose two in a row to Houston. That's pretty disgusting.

 

It nearly makes me feel physically ill.

[cubbieblue12]

just pray milwaukee loses once i guess?

 

 

It doesn't matter.

[TruffleShuffle]

isn't it usually a good idea for the catcher to position himself such that he can tag the runner out once he receives the ball?

[CubsNSkers07]

as i say that milwaukee 1 colorado 0

[Cubzfan64]

Face it - deep down we all know this just isn't that good a ballclub. We're a .500 team at best.

 

Anything can happen, but being Cub fans, generally we know that "anything" is something bad 99% of the time.

 

The game was lost in the first inning.

[cubbyvirus00]

Please fire the entire front office, this is a bad ballclub.

yeah unfortunately we'll be 8 out by then

[Soul]

Geddy Lee @ Rockies, working his magic?

Yeah I'm pretty sure Soto has longer arms and would have easily made that tag.

[JeffH]

I'm pretty sure the Cubs are at the start of like a 7 or 8 game losing streak.

We really need Lee to step it up right now with Soriano out. What with him being our best player.

 

Lee? Our best player? LOL!

[Magnetic Curses]

In other news, Jim Hendry reports that the cheese enchiladas at Pappasito's are "to die for".

 

When asked about possibly obtaining some help for his struggling team, Hendry said, "Grind, baby, grind!"

 

i heard that he said that this is a very good offensive team and he sees no reason to make a move, he's very satisfied, apparently.

 

honestly, i wonder if he's even considered that this team needs offensive help. way to "work those phones", jim.

[Schwarber Fan]

Murton in for Epatt on the double switch

[jaydee]

Now that Murton is in, the cubs will prolly score about 10 runs. The guy is just an amazing player.

[E.J.]

Woody served up a meatball there.

[Sammy Sofa]

The Wood/Murton tandem comes in and OWNS.

[CUBZ99]

Can't believe Murton couldn't get to that one.

[TruffleShuffle]

kerry's been learning from ohman apparently

[cubbyvirus00]

good thing we didnt sign Carlos Lee, Carlos Beltran, and Miguel Tejada

[TruffleShuffle]

good thing we didnt sign Carlos Lee, Carlos Beltran, and Miguel Tejada

[Bruce Miles]

Geddy Lee @ Rockies, working his magic?

 

I'll be seeing Geddy and Rush at Red Rocks tomorrow. That's why I'm not in Houston. Little time for myself _ and Rush.

[Sammy Sofa]

good thing we didnt sign Carlos Lee, Carlos Beltran, and Miguel Tejada

 

Subtract Carlos and put in Vlad.

Oh man, no kidding. I really wish that had happend.

[Banedon]

I can't wait to hear people talk about how Marshall lost this game. Really. I can't wait.
