8/8 Idiots (Z) @ Astros (Oswalt) 7:05 PM WGN

[rynefan]

Yes. Timely hitting was a big part of the recent success. It's no longer happening.

[JWCUB]

Wow. Just wow. We have went right back to the team we were the first 2 months of the season. And I actually got excited about this team, this season, this year.

[CubRock2]

Is Will Ohman pitching?

[anabiono]

man, i really wish i didn't care about this team as much as i do

[Careless]

congratulations, cobs

[CubmanPi]

I thought the main drill in the field for a pitcher is covering first on any ground ball to the right side. How the hell does Eyre not cover on that play? It's just a shame this whole team stinks, so in order for Eyre to get chewed out by Lou, he'll have to take a number and get in line.

[minnesotacubsfan]

well at least Erye still blows

[Fred Hornkohl]

Scott walked ,Lamb scored, Berkman to third, C Lee to second

[Brian]

Since taking first place the cubs have lost 6 of 7 (counting tonight) the only win all the runs scored were after the inning should have been over.

 

And yet they lost a total of 1 game in the standings.... how sad.

[salukifudd]

That was a perfect outing by Eyre.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wuertz in to pitch for the CUBS

[CubmanPi]

2 walks and failure to cover first. Great freaking job, idiot.

[cjbucks]

IMO that little episode puts Eyre a lot closer to being DFA'd. He po'd Lou on a couple different things there.

If this were nascar, the Cubs and Brewers would be driving in reverse. The boredom would also be better entertainment than this team is right now.

[minnesotacubsfan]

huh. one pitch, one out.

 

 

 

WTF ERYE?????
