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?

 

Wood in 1998 and Prior in 2002?

 

(I'm pretty sure you're referring to hitters and I got nothing there.)

[JGalt73]

The Cubs continue to get killed with the XBH, while hitting 9 singles on the day...

[inari]

Hawkins breezes. Our $100 million laughing stock continues it's tour of futility.

[YearofDaCubs]

This sucks. Our offense is so terrible without Aam and Sori. Are there teams that don't have more homers than us?

[Sammy Sofa]

FEAR OUR POWAH!!! Stand pat as our towering home run shots continue to sail over your feeble heads game after game!

[Brian]

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

 

Weren't we tied before the road trip?

 

No we left 1 back

How about Mark Grace in 1988? :oops:

Dwight Smith...1989.

Yep.

 

Giants, Twins, Dodgers, Orioles, Angels, Nationals, Royals.

Bill Hall doubles to lead off the ninth.

 

Hot girls in Colorado by the way.

Wait, you're telling me that Bobby Hill exploding on the scene doesn't count?

[Sammy Sofa]

Wuertz is gonna give up at least 2 here.

Or Choi, or Patterson, or .......

[TMan92]

I really wish we would have not brought Wood in today. We did not burn our good arms last night and day off tomorrow.

Hardy just homered with 2 outs. 6-4 Houston in the 9th.

[inari]

Hardy homers. Astros lead trimmed to two. If they win I'm going on suicide watch.

[TMan92]

Hardy homers in Houston 6-4. Here we go again.

[JGalt73]

Here comes Lidge.... that would have been a comfort if it weren't 2007.

[inari]

Brad Lidge is coming in.

[TMan92]

Here comes Lidge. Oy Vey.

[TMan92]

Nice throw Kendall.

[inari]

Kendall is not capable of throwing out baserunners.

[InconspicuousZ28]

The perpetual question....has Kendall thrown out a runner as a Cub yet?

[Iceblink]

Astros won.
