Taht sucks. Hill needs to settle down.

Taht sucks. Hill needs to settle down.

 

What do you mean? He gave up a weak infield single that should have been an out to the shortstop and then the next guy hit a single to drive him in. Not sure what settling down has to do with it.

[jersey cubs fan]

Good job Hill..Theyre going to sit on curveballs all day long because you cant throw a damn fastball

 

Chill out man.

To be fair, not throwing a dirtball would have given Soto a pretty good chance to gun Bay out.

The guy throwns ridiculous curve balls, they are going to go in the dirt from time to time.

I would think a fan's main concern would be the longterm quality of the team (meaning, full season and future seasons, as opposed to past two weeks). In that case, wishing for improvement makes a lot of sense for a fan.

 

So if Theriot really wants to do what's best for the Cubs he'll deliberately screw up so the incompetent management will make the right decisions.

[Andy]

Did Ronny Paulino just swing 3-0?

 

FTH?

[TakeMeOutToTheBallGame]

Watcing Lilly and Hill pitch this year has been so frustrating.

Jason Bay '08 > Jason Bay '07

 

Rich Hill '08 < Rich Hill '07

[Jake]

Please hit Bautista so Snell gets up this inning and we start the next inning w/ Nate!

[Andy]

Another hanger/banger.

 

But if he can just get Snell Rich will escape.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Hang 'em high, Rich...

[cubbyvirus00]

It would be Cub like for Snell to drive em in

[Tyrant]

He looks clueless out there.

[Andy]

Let's answer, fellas. DeRo, Soto and Reed can put together a run.

[E.J.]

Hill looks like he just hurt himself after stumbling.

Look, if Theriot strings together a decent season, which he'll likely have a shot to do since the Cubs show little desire to replace him through or trade or with Cedeno, I'll happily eat several hats. Odds are, he won't actually pull that off, which is why I'm not swayed by a few decent games at the beginning of the season. He strung together a few good weeks last season and was abyssmal for the rest.

[chuckywang]

Limited damage ... not all is lost.

[Andy]

Hahahaha, what if Rich gets hurt too? Two Cubs could get hurt doing completely routine things in the first three weeks. So awesome.

[Butterscup1679666578]

DeRo!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That's a nice start to this half inning.

[PrimeTime]

DeRo making up for those crappy errors to begin the season

[Andy]

Man-crush on DeRosa continues. Awesome. Let's get a run or two!

[swordsman]

Way to go, Mark!

 

Drive him in, boys!
