Am I the only one who finds losses a lot less bothersome these days?

 

Having confidence in the team in the long run is nice.

 

I wasn't even all that upset after Sunday's game, where I would've been seething even a year ago.

 

Agreed, although Sunday's lost was the hardest to take this year because I was in attendance.

Lofton? Our CF defense just keeps getting worse and worse and worse.

 

I'll accept him on the condition that every Cubs fan be made aware that our offense got worse after the Lofton/Ramirez trade that season.

Well that wasn't Lofton's fault. He had a 120+ OPS with the cubs.

 

Yes, but that's not the point. There's this fantasy out there that having a guy like Lofton "sparked" the offense and led us to the playoffs. The offense got worse, the pitching got enough better to make up for it.

Still, the point remains the same that his contributions helped the club. He obviously has no control over what the players around him do.

 

That said, I'm not sure what to expect right now. He's old and would inevitably be rusty. Just bring back Pie and pray that we haven't screwed him up completely.

This is a horrible decision by Lou. Just accept a freaking loss, let Lilly try to pitch himself out of this mess.

 

Its a bit over the top to call it horrible. Lieber can easily throw 3-4 innings regardless of what happens.

 

But whats the point? Then he's unavailable tomorrow. Why not just let Lilly try to pitch out of it.

 

My point is, I love that Lou manages to win every game. But once in awhile you have to accept that you're getting your butt kicked and try to look at the long term picture, which is getting Lilly on track and not overtaxing your pen.

 

Is it that big of deal if Lieber is unavailable tomorrow? Why not get him some extended work? Getting Lilly out now will not prevent him from getting back on track.

 

Lilly needs to go sit in a corner and think about what he did wrong.

I'd like him to pitch himself out of his issues. But then again, if he's throwing 83 MPH theres no way that's happening.

At this point, I would consider the rest of the day a success if:

 

Lieber and Cotts finish the ballgame and Edmonds doesn't get a hit.

He threw 62 completely ineffective pitches today. It's not like he was pulled in the first. I don't see him pitching himself out of his issues between pitch 63 and 80 something.

I think the CUbs just need to take the rest of the afternoon off anf take this out on their old pal Glendon tommorow.

 

Thanks a lot, Glendon, now we've got breast cancer on second base.

 

I think that's the funniest line the Dugout has ever written.
