Am I the only one concerned about the offense down the stretch? It's looking like we've actually downgraded our offense in RF, I don't expect Edmonds to keep up that hot pace, Theriot could come crashing to earth at any time, and you've gotta be worried about Soto tiring since Lou rarely gives him days off.

I've been concerned about the offense for a good few weeks now.

Yep, and the sky is, indeed, falling.

Right now, everything is going wrong

 

The Cubs will be fine

If all three happen then it won't matter.

[Outshined_One]

About time he got a hit.

Nah, thats just biased thinking because everything is going wrong.

Not really, I've been concerned for a couple of weeks now. Our offense is better than last season, but it really significantly better?

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

hey guys its looks like the brewers just traded Huston street acorring to jsonline.

 

Keep this up. I'd be happy to add another notch to my hammer.

 

Do it

 

he doesn't contribute anything useful anyway.

 

Dude can't even announce that his team acquired a player correctly.

 

Not to mention it isn't even a sure thing. Some writer on Jsonline said he heard something about it, that's it.

 

It's speculation at this point. If it happens, it happens.

 

Nice job, Hunter.

 

It seems to me that the writer just needed/wanted something to write. While I believe that the Brewers may get Street, I don't believe that the centerpeice would be Darren Ford.

Well that was a short inning.

[17 Seconds]

I can"t stand how indifferent all the players look this series.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wigginton grounded out to third, 5-3

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Two terrible pitchers making the Cubs look bad the last 2 nights. This is the part of the season where if ti can go wrong, it will.

 

Houston getting a bunch of bloop hits that plate runs, while the Cubs hit balls right at them.
