8/12: Cubs (Marshall) vs Rockies (TBA) 2:05 PM WGN

[Guancous]

At least we won't have to face Tulowitzki again until 2008.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I think we might need to accept the fact that Wood may not be a major league pitcher any longer.

Tulowitzki is the real deal.

Good inning Kerry. ::barf::

You'd think Pie flailing like a windmill would result with the bat hitting the ball once in awhile.

 

Pie does not look like a major league batter right now. I'm curious. What does everyone think his numbers will look like next year? I'd be happy with .270/.355/.420, 12 homers, 70 RBI and 25 steals. It all depends on where they bat him.

 

Another overrated prospect.

 

Kerry better start throwing strikes.

 

haha give me a break

[TMan92]

This team is a joke.

 

+1

 

Not getting more than three runs off of a 35 year old minor leaguer is the problem. This really is not a good baseball team. Full strength or not.

[Sammy Sofa]

OK, we're only 3 back and in Colorado! Let's start smashing some balls into the stands!

 

Oh, wait...I'm a Cubs fan?

 

Nevermind.

Wood sucks. I think CHerry might be better than this guy these days.

 

He's been fine till today.

HIs numbers so far have been but you can tell his pitches are not the same.

 

As long as he can pitch with his lesser stuff (which is still relatively good), I don't care.

 

And I hate walking the bases loaded to set up the DP when you don't have a groundball-type pitcher. I'd rather have had Wood vs Matsui with 2 on.

He's not Wade Miller worthless yet, but don't expect a 3 era from the pen from him either.

[JGalt73]

I hate having to watch the Brewers game - during the Cubs game - as the best hope for an okay day.

[killthegoat06]

1.5 back's not terrible.

[Sammy Sofa]

And now Latroy shuts us down just to make everyone feel even better.

[Iceblink]

Good news - Astros up 6-2 on the Brewers.

[Brian]

If this miserable road trip only costs .5 games that will be a miracle

What has Pie done that shows a guy that will live up to the hype? Seriously, please explain.

[inari]

Miserable bunt.

[TMan92]

And now Latroy shuts us down just to make everyone feel even better.

 

When he isn't a closer, the guy is effective. Dunsty could never figure it out.

[Sammy Sofa]

OK, I know they're prospects and it usually takes time for them to adapt, but just once...ONCE...can't we have one that comes roaring out of the gate? Or at least looks passable consistently?

[anabiono]

uh...this team is really starting to piss me off

[inari]

Astros now up 6-2. Not gonna matter if we keep blowing chunks.

What has he done to prove he is overrated?

Weren't we tied before the road trip?

True. He's not Wade Miller washed up yet, but he didn't look good today and didn't look good in Houston.

 

He had no control and when he did, he was hittable. That's not a good combination.

Hes 22 years old. Do you know where most 22 year olds are playing baseball? It sure as hell isnt AAA/Majors.

Exactly.....Look at Milwaukee, Arizona, Colorado, even St. Louis. And Mike Fontenot batting .400 for a month does not count.
