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

 

Fixed.

Ugh! :x

[Butterscup1679666578]

and heres a routine groundout to end the inning. sorry murt.

[chuckywang]

Pwahahaha they tried the squeeze. Too bad it didn't work.

 

Could have been worse....at least now we have Theriot up with a runner on 3rd.

[Careless]

Lilly is not a good bunter.

He clearly didn't spend much time working on his bat skills while in the AL

Fixed.

pitchers being able to get a bunt down is important.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

if corner gas and sister sister is considered bad tv, then I dont even know anymore

[Careless]

Since I missed the first 2 innings, has the ump been calling that gigantic outside corner all day?

You're right, bunting is completely unimportant. It's pretty much an automatic out with our pitchers up anyways, might as well get them to move a runner over every now and then.

PWNED!!!111

We suck

Hey look, more bad sitcom programming from WGN to contrast with Cubs games.

 

They come up with some remarkably bad programming.

 

Always have, always will.

 

I don't know ... back in the 1980s, they had a lineup of mainstream syndicated stuff that stacked up well against what TBS had, and was miles ahead of the trash on USA network and The Family Channel.

 

Now, WGN seems to attract mostly cancelled sitcoms from the WB and UPN. Well-regarded stuff like 24, Chappelle's Show and Sex and the City seems totally out of place.

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.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We waste the lead-off double. Damnit! :evil:

Good call

[illiniguy]

awesome inning guys. Cant get beat by a crap lefty without a few of those a game.

[Sammy Sofa]

I wish there wasn't some powerful wizard on the mound, what with his magical spells of confusion and confounding!

yes. inside too.

[Soul]

As far as I can tell, yes. Which is just wonderful for a lefty who is scared to challenge hitters.

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

[BigSlick]

We routinely waste bases loaded no outs.

 

Whats the surprise with this one?

I don't think anyone expressed suprise, just displeasure.

[J.R.]

Football on Dish Network? LOL

 

Corner Gas looks to be all kinds of awful.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That's just great! :x

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.

[Guest]

yea, crazy that we would complain about our pitchers bunting right after one blows a bunt. unbelievable.
