8/26 Cubs (Marquis) @ D'Backs (Petit?) 3:40 CST on Comcast

[Soul]

The league has figured Fontenot out. He's useless at this point.

[Bote McBoteface]

In game threads I often react rather than think.

 

Exactly.

 

I know. That's why I usually don't call people out when I see something that makes me roll my eyes. More often than not, they don't actually mean it.

 

Also why I tend to avoid posting in here unless it's a PBP.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Fontenot has been bad lately.

[CubsBears29]

Fontenot swinging for the fences again... for god sakes, Mike, wake up!!!!!

[IowaCubsFan]

The bloom is off the rose with Fonte-NOT.

[Sammy Sofa]

How many leadoff hits/walks have we left on base today?

[Handlebar McSkullet]

How many leadoff hits/walks have we left on base today?

 

today, this week, this month.... the story of august.

Any chance Blanco can channel his inner hitter and do something here?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

doubtful.

[IowaCubsFan]

No.

[CubsBears29]

If we come up in a "needing a hit to win" situation in the next 2-3 innings, where Fontenot is due up, and Lou doesn't put in DeRosa for him... Lou deserves be kicked in the can with some steel-toed cleats.

 

 

And hey, look... another leadoff runner stranded. So strange. :roll:

[Handlebar McSkullet]

he hit that solid... darn it

[abuck1220]

marquis/blanco is one of the top worst signings batteries around.

'07 Cubs: the land of opportunity

[IowaCubsFan]

Typical Cubs. Baffled by a pitcher with a 5+ ERA. Nice work, guys.

 

Game over. I'm going to go outside and mow my jungle of a lawn. Have a nice evening, all.

[RyCubsFan]

hit hard by blanco...

[Sammy Sofa]

I'm so glad we stood pat at the dealine. It was a bold move that has clearly struck fear in the hearts of our foes. "HIDE THE CHILDREN," they cry! "THE CUBS HAVE COME TO TOWN TO BRUTALIZE US ALL!"

you are so overwhelmingly negative, it makes me not even want to follow game threads.

 

can anyone tell how to block?

to be fair, we picked up kendall (though it wasn't right AT the deadline). he's def helped at offense for the catcher spot.

There is an ignore feature, but if you are expecting positive posts when the club is blowing their best opportunities of the season in front of our eyes, you might find it's not just him that is negative.

[Brian]

I stopped following the game after Young's 2nd HR, surprised they haven't added. With the Brewers loss, I'm hoping for a miracle in the last 3 innings.

[inari]

I can't believe Marquis is still in this game. Bad results sound likely...

[Soul]

Bob is being kind. Blanco should have been able to hang on to that. Thanks Hank.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 28-14 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 39-48 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
