When was the last time we swept somebody? I can't remember one time this year.

 

 

LOL you're kidding right...

[C.C.]

White Sox.

Astros

Our team cannot take walks for their lives. TAKE WALKS AND GET ON BASE? nah, lets swing at the first pitch.

[BigSlick]

great work carlos

 

I love when he specifically pitches himself into trouble (walking 7-8-9 hitters) and then makes some good pitches to get himself out of it and someone bloops it out of the infield to score some runs.

 

Screw you, Carlos. You deserve it.

Nationals, Rockies

 

White Sox

Cardinals (2 game series)

I dunno man, sometimes its PAINFUL to watch Derrek Lee just calmly see a batting practice pitch glide over the plate.

[TruffleShuffle]

Our offense needs to wake up. Its been horrible for some time now.

 

it's not asleep, there just aren't enough good hitters in the lineup.

[hawkeyecub]

another solid inning for the offense... good thing we have craig monroe and his .264 OBP on the way

 

Good thing he won't be playing much against RHP and we have someone who has at least a decent amount of power and success against LHP.

[moorecg]

Why can't we ever seem to close out a series sweep?

[abuck1220]

when does zambrano's next new season start?

[C.C.]

Z's not going to make it outta the 5th.

[UMFan83]

God Z, I don't know what I'll do if this is the pitcher we get down the stretch. You can be among the biggest goats in Cubs history.

[Choonch]

it's pretty clear who this team's ace is...and it's not the guy with the $90 mil contract.

 

overreaction much?

No kidding. He gave up 2 runs. It happens.

 

But an ace doesnt walk the opposing teams pitcher, and consistently have games of 4+ walks.

 

Consistently is an understatement. It feels like Z walks something like 6 or 7 batters every.single.game.

THE GAME ISN'T OVER YET.

[salukifudd]

when does zambrano's next new season start?

 

Hopefully soon.

[TruffleShuffle]

getting upset at lincecum for the fist pump is the dumbest thing ever

[cubbyvirus00]

When's Mark Prior coming back?

 

 

err...wait.

[illiniguy]

Pretty good play right there.

Umm thats why I said 4+

[TysonCBulls423]

you guys are crazy :lol:

its 2-0 in the 5th. take the bipolar medicine and calm down

It kinda has that feeling.

Agreed, I find nothing wrong with anything Lincecum did on Tuesday. He's a young guy who was just blowing away the Cubs hitters...it's ok to show some emotion.
