5/17 - Pirates (Duke) @ Cubs (Zambrano) 12:05PM CSN & 720

[Keener98]

Why the hell is Jim Edmonds not batting Lou?

[BigSlick]

This is why baseball is easily the most painful sport in the world. Only in baseball, you can lose 62 games and be the best team in the league. Blah

Also, 100 years

[UMFan83]

Smart move batting Johnson against a righty.

 

I hate stupid Jim Edmonds, but he should be hitting right now.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Okay, now I'm so pissed at Piniella again I'm almost glad we're losing.

 

Reed Johnson. CANNOT. HIT. RIGHTIES!!!!!!!!!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Johnson struck out swinging

[17 Seconds]

Oh sweet, Johnson is batting against a righty.

[CubsGM]

Free Edmonds!

[TruffleShuffle]

great managing lou, he overmanages except when a move is warranted

[TysonCBulls423]

yeah Lou that was kinda dumb...

[witty alias]

Great, we just lost a series to the Pirates.

 

hopefully tomorrow's result is the same as the "automatic loss" to jake peavy

I'm so foresooth conflicted because I want to see Marquis dropped from the rotation but I also don't want to lose a series to the Pirates

 

11-10 win?

[VanceJergins]

i'm gonna keep saying godd ddamn because there is absolutely no reason why it should be censored

 

ooooh, badass

[CubsGM]

Mike, bend down and don't swing!

[haubrich91]

Get on base Fontenot.

[cubs121]

i dont understand why Edmonds is not batting. or was..

[Hairyducked Idiot]

If Fontenot reaches, they should intentionally walk Soriano and Theriot to get to Lee for the gimme GIDP.

[UMFan83]

Put this in the "could have won" category if we lose.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm really torn here.

 

The offense was decent, and you can't expect to see Zambrano and Marmol fall apart, and you have to lose sometimes to a team.

 

But the Cubs were really bad fundamentally today. Passed balls, bad throws, bad slides, stupid slides.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fontenot flied out to right field

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Nady is making the most out of bad legs in RF.

[CubsGM]

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[Flames24Rulz]

SON OF A

[haubrich91]

Why does he always stumble out there? Couldn't he drop it this once?!

[BCVM22]

DAG NABBIT Nady, STOP SOAP DROPPING DOING THAT

[TysonCBulls423]

urgh yeah today just wasn't our day.

[TruffleShuffle]

another hard hit out
