STOP SWINGING AT THE FIRST PITCH ;akdjfalksdjfbgal;kfjb

[CoolHandLuke]

Enough with the first pitch swings!

Chill out guys. A 2 run lead is not impossible to overcome. Especially with this offense.

 

What offense?? Fukudome???

 

And Lee, Ramirez, Soriano, Soto

 

That was a nice at bat by Ramirez. Tell me when the rest show up.

[CubmanPi]

Off-balance 1st pitch popup is exactly how you break through against a crappy pitcher. Thanks ARam.

[Sarcastic]

How long before Fukudome starts wondering what the hell he got himself into?

 

I'm sure he's too sensible to despair after four games.

 

Plus, he's probably too busy enjoying the money.

 

Let's see how sensible he is when it's 40 games in and nothing has changed. This offense looks an awful lot like the pathetic one we saw last year. He seems as though he may be a bit of a competitor, which leads me to believe he'll get frustrated very quickly with this bunch.

 

The pathetic offense that was 8th in runs in the NL last year? That's more mediocre than pathetic.

 

But yes, they are having a terrible day offensively. I think Fukudome's probably experienced that before though.

No Fuku No

4 through 2 hitters. I'll go under.

This is Hendryball.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

2 outs in the 5th and Sampson has thrown 38 pitches. WTF?

[da bears]

2 outs in the 5th and Sampson has thrown 38 pitches. WTF?

 

Holy crap that is absolutely pathetic Cubs.

[Post Count Padder]

Yeah DeRosa

[beersoakedivy]

No Fuku No

 

At least he hit it on the ground. The rest keep popping everything up

Holy crap that is absolutely pathetic Cubs.

You mean Cobs

[UBlink]

Has anyone explained to these guys what these short innings do to concession sales?

[WilcoFan]

At least DeRosa can't hit into a DP here.

[Post Count Padder]

just under that

[PrimeTime]

Seriously..Chris Sampson...Cant hit a guy throwing 85mph fastballs and has no impressive stuff..We cant do a damn thing..

[back2backjax]

so typical of a cub hitter to ground into a DP when you need a hit and get a hit when there are 2 out and no one on. ron cey was famous for that.

[Post Count Padder]

Crap.

[Guest]

We really love hitting deep fly balls to Bourn, don't we.

[Flames24Rulz]

This is absolute garbage.

[BCVM22]

On the bright side, once we hit June, Soto's gonna be going yard left and right.

[weis21]

Soto has flied out to the warning track 1,000 times this season, I think it's some sort of record.
