i can only imagine how bad the outcry is going to be now

It's going to get ugly, thats for sure. Luckily Ronny is trying his best to force Lou's hand. Next weekend I had better see a lineup like this Lou:

 

Soriano

Cedeno

Lee

ARam

Fukudome

Soto

DeResoa

Pie

[Little Slide Rooter]

At least we have the big boys coming up. Hopefully, after 2 times through the order, they're starting to pick up on the fact that he's really not that great of a pitcher.

[sneakypower]

Cubs have been letting these types of situation get away waaaaaaaaay too much lately.

 

Ya think? We'd be on a 9 game winning streak right now if we could hit with RISP

No I think we would be on that streak had Theriot not been playing. he has killed us with his glove, lack of hitting, and stealing.

435/.500/.565 in past week but ok

Wow your right:

 

Thursday: GIDP with the bases loaded, botches a routine DP ball that results in the go ahead run scoring

Friday: CS twice, including once at 3B where afterwards the circumstances led to the Cubs hitting a sac fly.

Today: GIDP with the bases loaded in a situation to tie the game.

He is killing us. Even when he is hitting at a passable level he is no more than a replacement level player. On top of that he doesn't even "play the game the right way" He just isn't very good.

It's a lifetime of pain, not just this April.

[Omar]

Murton in LF, Cedeno at SS, DeRosa at 2B, Theriot in Peoria.

 

*Theriot on the free agent list with Matt Morris.

i hate it too that his .337/.406/.465 line has impeded this offense

How much of that is negated by his 3 CSs? Or his big error in Colorado?

No, he's right. Games in April don't count, so no need to get upset.

[Vanilla Ice]

good start

[Fred Hornkohl]

D Lee walked

[C.C.]

I'm tuning out for good luck.

[Outshined_One]

I hate, I hate games like this. Ruins my whole flippin' day!

 

It doesn't help that the Bears have apparently dedicated their drafting after Round 1 to throwing darts at ESPN's draft preview magazine hooked up to a dartboard. What a crummy day.

That one on Friday was the worst. How do you get caught trying to steal third with Derrek Lee at the plate and one out? Stupid. Stupid to even try.

in comparison to Ronny's .375/.432/.575, yeah, it has a little.

Ramirez grounded into a FC, 1-6, D Lee out at second

[ctcf]

Theres that famous Ramirez hustle.

[UMFan83]

I never want the entire offense to get hot at the same time again. Because then everyone gets cold at the same time.

Your are right. Bloops into a double play. Way better.

Thank god the Nats decide to throw like pregame warmups.
