Yay!

 

Now get some runs, jerks.

[jersey cubs fan]

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.

 

Hoping a player fails so his backup can provide barely a modicum of improvement, instead of actually rooting for a player to continue performing at a level above what either would have been expected to do is stupid.

 

Well, when you put in that way................

[weis21]

I truly expect Murton to get the call up tonight

[cubbyvirus00]

annnnnnd Corey Patterson #2.....strikes out again

[big_shooter17]

2 very nice Jacque Jones looking ab's for Patterson. It was like deja vu seeing a guy in the lh batter's box swinging at dirt balls.

[PrimeTime]

Get ready for the bench tommorrow Patterson..Not bringing up Murton has to be one of the most idiotic things I've seen

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Theriot is having one of his good months.

[Flames24Rulz]

Haha, Nady couldn't have played that any worse.

 

Come on Lee.

[David]

yay riot... keep playing over your head!

[cubbyvirus00]

[rocket]

annnnnnd Corey Patterson #2.....strikes out again

 

I thought Felix was #2?

[Butterscup1679666578]

Nice job Riot! Drive him in big bats!

[PrimeTime]

Both Patterson's tend to think theyre this guy at the plate.

Eric is an automatic #2.....he shares the same last name.....

 

Felix just needs to stop idolizing Soriano

[Butterscup1679666578]

Ack. WE're gonna strand em again.

[Andy]

Freakin' A, we'll blow it again.

[Flames24Rulz]

Pffffffffffft.

[rocket]

this is gonna be one of those games where we get all sorts of runners into scoring position but never score.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Damn! We really needed Lee to do better than that.

[cubbyvirus00]

what a bum

[big_shooter17]

Well, first inning we got a single, 2nd was a double, 3rd was a triple, so it would almost be a sure thing that we'll hit a 4 base hit in the 4th.

Except that's not what I've said or done at all.

 

I'm not HOPING for Theriot to fail in the long run. I'm EXPECTING him to fail in the long run.

 

Like I said, if Theriot manages to have a good season, awesome...but I'll be stunned if he does.
