09/04 L.A. (Penny) @ CUBS (Trachsel) 7:05pm, CSN-TV

[illiniguy]

so do the bears have a chance in san diego this weekend?

[TMan92]

If Trachsel gives up any more this inning, Lou needs a labotomy.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Man we are choking down the stretch.

 

Huh? We took two of three against milwaukee, two of three against Houston and only dropped one so far from L.A.

 

3 runs will not win this game.

Umm, we are facing a guy that has only given up 5 home runs all year

 

We don't hit HRs anyway

 

CUBS are 42-26 when they hit a home run....... 28-40 when they don't.

 

 

Go CUBS !!!

[Keener98]

boy am i glad we picked up trachsel

 

He's looked better then any of our starters lately.

 

Not Rich Hill. But yeah Trachsel isn't getting hit hard, he's been pretty unlucky.

 

Pierre, Penny, and Furcal smoked the ball

 

Just cause Furcal didn't bloop the ball in there didn't mean they smoked the ball.

 

I know but they were all hard hit balls

[Alfonso Soriano]

This offense is so G.D. Pathetic

 

It took you until September 4th to realize that?

Thats my nice way of putting it.

If we didn't have censors I would have said every swear in the book.

[CubFanPhilly]

The Bucs are about to work their way into the lousy Cardinals pen. Don't count that one as over.

[Outshined_One]

I hate Corey Hart.

So? The Cubs have found a way to win all season long without relying on the HR.

[Keener98]

so do the bears have a chance in san diego this weekend?

 

hell yes

[Schwarber Fan]

Sure am glad we didn't trade for that big bat at the deadline...

 

Craig Monroe, (I really feel a "dude" is required here)

[illiniguy]

I hate Corey Hart.

Me too, the other guy two Braun and Fielder were supposed to be very good. I don't even think the caveman was the best Corey Hart in their system.

[Alfonso Soriano]

hell yes

Their offense may suck but it is nothing like this

[Keener98]

The Cards pen hasnt been their problem at all. Its been starting pitchers, their bullpen has been quite good actually

[Soul]

Man we are choking down the stretch.

 

The Cubs really aren't playing any worse than they were at any other point in the season except for that hot run in June-July.

Well true I guess.

 

Dodgers are a better ballclub than us, IMO. Not a suprise they are beating us. To me anyway.

 

You really think so? This lineup is not that imposing and has been pretty bad all year.

 

Yeah, I do. They're playing in a much tougher division than us and have a better record.

Just cause Furcal didn't bloop the ball in there didn't mean they smoked the ball.

 

I know but they were all hard hit balls

 

2 of them were ground balls, Penny's as gameday put it was a soft line drive. They weren't infield singles, but they weren't what I'd call smoked either.

[Soul]

hell yes

Their offense may suck but it is nothing like this

 

If Good Rex shows up the Bears offense can be quite explosive, actually.

[illiniguy]

man those 5 games with St Louis are either going to be very great, or kill a lot of us.

[Mizzou]

Trach is definitely doing his job, I wish the damn offense would pick him up .

[Handlebar McSkullet]

Did you know Theriot is 6th in the MLB in range factor? who knew?

[Alfonso Soriano]

so do the bears have a chance in san diego this weekend?

 

hell yes

Their offense may suck but it is nothing like this

 

If Good Rex shows up the Bears offense can be quite explosive, actually.

If Good Derrek Lee shows up we could be could but this Derrek Lee likes hitting into double plays and striking out looking

[Mizzou]

man those 5 games with St Louis are either going to be very great, or kill a lot of us.

I might quit my job and move out of the state if the Cardinals win the division.

[C.C.]

They way we a going I welcome them!

I'd say Trax has been remarkably lucky. A single turned into a force out, there was a stupid baserunning play to create a double play, and a runner was thrown out at the plate to save a run and prevent Jeff Kent from hitting with a runner on.
