Re: 5/5 Cubs (Dempster) vs. Dusty Baker's Reds (Cueto)

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dunn called out on strikes

[UMFan83]

gameday had ball 4 right down the middle

 

It wasn't down the middle, but it wasn't all that different than Theriot's K pitch in the top half.

[Schwarber Fan]

I don't know about you guys, but when I turned on the game today, I just saw a loss coming. Today just feels like a loss.

 

As a Cobs fan, do you ever turn on a game and feel a win?

[illiniguy]

I've had enough of watching this crapa$$ rotation load the bases in the first inning. What a joke.

 

None of that was Dempster's fault except the walk.

and even that could have been a strikeout.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Jesus Fontenot! Make the [expletive] play.

I did 2 weeks ago.

[InconspicuousZ28]

3 games out of the last 4 that we've allowed the bases to get loaded in the first freaking inning.

Anyways, putting Dempster in situations where he has to throw strikes against moderately patient hitters is not good.

 

I always think this team is going to lose lately.

That same pitch was a strike on Theriot.

True - Fontenot botched the DP that should have negated the scenario in the first place. But he didn't walk in a run with one of the league's most impatient hitters at the plate.

[Careless]

what a horrible inning

[UMFan83]

LOL! 3-0 and not a single hard hit ball!

[CubsGM]

Ballgame.

[weis21]

Well maybe the long first inning has thrown Cueto off a little. He sure did look comfortable to the first 3 hitters.

[17 Seconds]

Game over. Thanks Font.

[illiniguy]

Jeff Keppinger owns us.

[salukifudd]

Bad luck inning for Dempster.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Keppinger blooped a single to shallow right field Phillips & Votto scored, Encarnacion to second

[C.C.]

That's game.

Come on. It should have been 3 up 3 down. The 2 hits were soft infield ground balls.

[Careless]

That last hit would have been reasonably hard (and caught) if it hadn't broken his bat

[JGalt73]

Dempster returns to the mean.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Thank you Ryan. At least now I wont have to waste my entire evening on this crap. Maybe I can find something productive to do.

[UMFan83]

The only good out of this is hopefully Hendry will realize that we desperately need starting pitching help.

 

Of course he should have recognized that last season instead of resting on the laurels of an amazingly flukey season by the staff as a whole.

[chuckywang]

Game is not over! Not with this explosive Cubs offense.
