8/25 Cubs (Lilly) @ Dbacks (Davis) 8:40CT WGN

[Alfonso Soriano]

Nice play by Kendall.

[Soul]

Football on Dish Network? LOL

 

Corner Gas looks to be all kinds of awful.

 

Don't worry, they'll slot it after Moesha to rake in the big ratings.

[Sammy Sofa]

Noice.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Nice double play there!

[Guest]

that play always scares me.

[Soul]

Yes. That was a nasty curve by Lilly.

[Sammy Sofa]

Lilly looking to be back on track. Hopefully Z follows suit.

Threaten him with Moesha re-runs and Sister Sister every time he loses. Oh, you'll see some improvement, methinks. :wink:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Giants now up 6-0. It looks like there is ground to be gained. Let's win this one.

Cubs fans complain about the most random and usually unimportant stuff.

 

Fixed.

pitchers being able to get a bunt down is important.

 

And I guarantee you that you guys complain about it more than the problem is.

 

I see no proof that our pitchers are worse than any other national league team's pitchers at laying down a bunt.

 

Who cares about what the rest of the league is doing? I want our pitchers to be able to do something at the plate.

 

Because you might be expecting something that is impossible? You can't expect our pitchers to lay down every bunt perfectly.

 

There is far more important things to worry about on our team than how well our pitchers are bunting.

 

It's impossible to lay down a bunt? In my opinion, bunting is one of the easiest aspects of the game. All it takes is a little practice.

 

I'm not expecting every pitcher to be able to lay a perfect bunt down every time, but it seems like nearly every time we need a bunt, they foul the first two off and K. It's not an unimportant aspect of the game, and you thinking so is pretty ridiculous.

[Soul]

There's a leadoff single.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Derrek Lee is amazing

[BigSlick]

Derrek Lee is pissing the crap out of me with his constant attempts at hitting into double plays.

At least he ran this one out.

I just don't think we are any better or worse than the league average.

[BigSlick]

I just...really don't know what these guys are swinging at.

While I'm quite sure I'd never be able to hit better than "really, really badly" at the ML level, I'd love to spend a week practicing against major league pitchers trying to master bunting. that's the one thing I just can't believe is as hard as it seems

[Sammy Sofa]

I REALLY want Lee to sit tomorrow if the Cubs win tonight.

Of late, Rammy is swinging just as horribly. My god was that bad.

[BigSlick]

I just...really don't know what these guys are swinging at.

[Alfonso Soriano]

YES!

That a way guys

[Handlebar McSkullet]

how bout a homerun here monroe

[Sammy Sofa]

Aramis looking like crap on this trip, too, with the exception of that double in SF.

 

We really need him or Lee to click it back on against the Brewers. I hope to God Soriano can come back then.

[cubbyvirus00]

Lee and Ramirez have been horrible the past 2 weeks

[Alfonso Soriano]

LOL'Z at the warning track power
