I would love to have a left fielder named not Alfonso Soriano.

 

Would he hit better than Soriano too?

 

Soriano is basically having the same offensive season Jacque Jones had last year, so sure, he might.

 

I've never thought about it like that. He really is having the same season. The only difference is its more damaging because he insists on hitting leadoff.

 

Between him and Theriot's huge swoon, its a pretty bad 1-2 for the Cubs right now.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 8-50 when they trail after 6 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!!

[UMFan83]

Heck of a job by Lilly in that inning.

 

It's not every day you get 4 outs in an inning.

[UMFan83]

This is pathetic. Just 5 base runners today...

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS get another quality start........ that's 4 out 6, and 14 out of 24. Let's don't waste it !!!

 

 

Go CUBS !!!

[Omar]

Soto bomb, anyone?

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeRosa flied out to right field

[UMFan83]

Wait until Franklin and Izzy come in the next 2 innings. We're toast.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto grounded out to third, 5-3

[UMFan83]

What is wrong with this offense today? Is Looper just pitching a great game?? Given his season numbers, its hard to believe that...

It's Cy Looper man!

[Omar]

Jesus. This is so depressing.

[UMFan83]

Things more enjoyable than watching the Cubs offense today:

 

-Watching Michigan's defense

-Watching my fingernails grow

-Watching Gigli

-Watching milk spoil

[inari]

We just got throughly dominated by Braden Looper.

[UMFan83]

Do the Cubs even realize that this is a perfectly winnable game for the taking?? Ugh

[Omar]

What's Looper's pitch count? Tell me he's done.

[UMFan83]

I bet Kerry gives up a couple here.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wood in to pitch for the CUBS

I don't remember exactly, but I believe Looper's daytime numbers are very good, and also his 2nd half performance much better than 1st.
