5/1: Brewers (Gallardo) @ Cubs (Z), 1:20, WGN

[rawaction]

What the heck is with the vitriol towards Pie? He's hit well since they worked with his swing, and the only way that's a DP ball is if he hit it on the screws, so it must have been hit well.

 

Also, Wood. He didn't have it today, obviously. But the overreaction to his overall performance this year is pathetic. He's had two bad outings this year. Oh no, he's useless!

 

No he hasn't actually. He started off 5-10, but is 0-7 since with 5 strikeouts and a GIDP.

He is 4 for what 7 in save chances? He also was god awful on opening day. He hasn't gotten the job done.

 

Opening day was the other bad outing. He's given up 2 runs in 12 innings outside those two outings.

But he hasn't been good at doing his job. Take out the innings he has thrown where the game wasn't in any doubt. What do his numbers look like then?

[CoolHandLuke]

I feel so crappy now. thanks a lot, cubs.

I'm really enjoying how Soriano and Fukudome are escaping criticism for two horribly played balls in the outfield.

why is everyone slamming on pie? he didn't start today...

 

so...what exactly did you want him to do? his at bat to end the inning was a disaster either...

 

i am confused

[David]

may i just say that my hate has grown for braun today...i guess my level of hatred towards that prick has no bounds...btw...did you guys notice the cubs fan flip him off as he was walking back to the dugout...that made me laugh!!!

Shouldn't have thrown beer on him [-X

Classy Brewer fans.

 

 

He's absolutely 100% right about what he said. Of course, coming to say it here as though we have anything to do with that is sort of lame.

they're not. the balls were not horribly played at all.

I'll be sure to go to their board and talk about how they shouldn't have took dirty slides at our catcher once we clinch the division again this year. The minute after.

will someone please clarify if it was during that exchange that he got beer thrown on him?

Good enough for .294/.386/.471. He started out 5-10 when he started 3 days in a row. Since then, he's started once in the past 6 games and has gone 0-7 with 5 Ks and 2 BBs.

[PrimeTime]

That ball was scorched over Fukudome's head..Kerry's fault for throwing a bad pitch

At least you're finally being optimistic for once. :wink:

 

Maybe we should make another bet like last year. Don't want to mess with a good thing.

Isn't that still a .294 average?

unfortunately i'm not sure that lou will give him consistent enough playing time to adjust to major league pitching.

It just angers me. Get the hell out of here with coming to a Cubs board right after you beat us and post that crap. Oh man Ryan Braun is so good. Don't anger him or else. Such crap.

 

Oh and I got a kid now. Can't throw those bets around anymore.

[CubinNY]

Mellow......

[C.C.]

That ruined my flippin' day! Arrrh! Our first heartbreak loss.

Opening day was pretty damn heartbreaking.

[wekse]

good friggin' god...i leave work and it's 3-1 going to the 9th and get home to find this bull....f*** me.

Not really...We were never in that game until the end. It felt good just to come back...

I posted 5-10 and 0-7, but I calculated 4-18. Nevermind me.

[PrimeTime]

If Lou would've moved Reed Johnson over to left and had Pie replace Soriano I bet Johnson wouldve had made that catch

This isn't no ones fault but Wood's. He pitched poorly and got rocked. It's that simple.

[C.C.]

I don't mind losing like this, but not to someone in our division.
