BOBBY HOWRY! HE GAWN!

 

 

Sorry. :? :lol:

 

You're not allowed to post here anymore.

This team is genuinely good, and beating up crappy opponents is fun and all, but they desperately need some rotation help.

[17 Seconds]

Save opp for Wood now.

[ChiCubsFan]

Can't even hold a six run lead to save their lives....

 

What a disgrace....

 

Calm down, buddy. This team is anything but a disgrace and we both know it.

 

I'm not calling the whole team a disgrace. Just pretty much the pen/players who can't hold a six run lead, that's all.

 

Okay good. With everyone and their whole "same old Cubs" thing, I figured you were thinking (or I guess not thinking) the same way as them. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, Hart sucked that inning up.

 

Good job getting out of it, Howry.

First: I'm glad Good Bobby Howry is back. He is so much better thenhis evil twin, "Bad Bob."

 

Second: Can we please get those runs back in the ninth, and kill the Padres hope once and for all?

Fangraphs trying to remind me that these late-inning hiccups aren't as scary as they seem, but I'm not buying it.

One good pitching innings eater would be great

[CubsGM]

It's MARMOL TIME!

Woody warming. Beh.

We're sort of the definition of how to build a dominant team without a rotation right now.

 

Great bullpen (tonight notwithstanding)? Check.

 

Consistently, high-OBP, deep offense? Check.

 

Great defense (as measured by defensive efficiency)? Check.

Just keep Howry in the damn game Lou. I hate him so much.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Solid single for Ramirez, red-hot.

Which is why Cendeno and Pie will be dealt at the deadline for an arm or two.

I think what is going for us is we have so many guys who are at least decent pitchers between AAA and MLB, which somewhat makes up for the lack of a great #2 starter.

"Or two?" Those two would be lucky to net a decent starter, much less two.

Yeah, I definitely don't mean our rotation is bad. It's not. Even Marquis would be an improvement over the last starter on a lot of teams. It's just definitely the least impressive part of the team since Hill disappeared.

 

If we can get Hill back and trade for a starter, whoa...

[Careless]

Wow, that Mets/SF starting pitching line is depressing. Pedro beats Zito, but everyone loses

What kind of arms are those 2 guys going to fetch right now?

[BCVM22]

Fasten those seatbelts!

Cedeno+Pie+Murton+Marshall for Sabathia or Burnett (may or may not be realistic)

That depends entirely on what the contract situation of the arm.

 

Pie, especially, still has plenty of trade value.

[OleMissCub]

God I love these Pads announcers. The color guy just asked how many times the Cubs offense has outscored the Bears offense this year.

Ryan Dempster is having a high-quality season...

Well, at least one. And that combo will net us a very solid number 3 starter.

 

Z

Demp

(Burnett?)

Lilly

Hill

 

I would be confident in the playoffs with that, especially with this offense.
