[genbar]

melikes me some floyd popup.

[Keener98]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD QUIT PLAYING FLOYD AND BATTING HIM 5th! Jesus

[Have a seat, Neifi]

Lee hasn't been running as well lately. Or at least not as aggresively.

 

I was gonna say, did anyone else think Lee should have gone to third easily??

Absolutely. That ball died as soon as it reached the OF grass.

Why does Floyd play over Ward? I have a lot more confidence in Ward.

7 DAYS TILL BEARS

[Keener98]

Lou will prob talk him into coming back.

[kente777]

7 DAYS TILL BEARS

 

Thank God!

[CuseCubFan69]

Loads of bad swings today, especially by Floyd.

[illiniguy]

Braden Looper with a shutout through 5. We should turn one of our crap middle relievers into a decent starter next year. Maybe Ohman.

[TruffleShuffle]

floyd needs to go the route of barbaro... off to the glue factory for you old man

[Keener98]

Why does Floyd play over Murton? I have a lot more confidence in Murton.

 

Fixed

7 DAYS TILL BEARS

 

Thank God!

Is Grossman still the qb?

[kente777]

Lee hasn't been running as well lately. Or at least not as aggresively.

Absolutely. That ball died as soon as it reached the OF grass.

 

The Cubs look pathetically limp out there.

[Keener98]

Loads of bad swings today, especially by Floyd.

 

Thats been Floyd all year

[Fred Hornkohl]

Munson grounded out to second, 4-3

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Floyd's Post-ASG OPS is pretty close to starting with a 6.

[illiniguy]

Loads of bad swings today, especially by Floyd.

 

Thats been Floyd all year

Yet he hasn't had to produce and earn his time. Hell Lou even sat Jacque for a while.

[CuseCubFan69]

Why does Floyd play over Ward? I have a lot more confidence in Ward.

 

He seems to be swinging a heck of a lot better, Lou has to go with the hot hand. I'll bet Floyd whines a lot when he's not playing compared to Ward excepting what his role is.

Willliams grounded out to second, 4-3
