Cubs Beat Sabathia (orattheveryleastgettothepen) 7-28 7pmCSN

[Andy]

Bob Howry should be DFA'ed after the game.

 

We have Wuertz, Ascanio, Hart, and any number of better options at Iowa. No reason for this clown to be here anymore.

[Guest]

Ugh. Way to go, Howry.

[Allroy]

You have to cut Howry. Even Lou has to start seeing now. Screw you Long Ball Bob.

[Hall7810]

Howry's going to get DFAed when Wood returns. I'm almost positive.

 

Only problem is, Wood doesn't sound like he's anything near close to returning.

[Outshined_One]

since I wasn't able to watch lilly, what did you think of his outing?

 

Mediocre, but effective, and hit a wall in the 6th.

[CubsBears29]

Why does everyone keep blaming Bob Howry??

 

Its not his fault he's still a Cub or is CONTINUOUSLY used in big situations in big games.

[YearofDaCubs]

The blame has to go to Lou. Howry can't help it that he sucks. Lou should have figured out that he sucks by now.

Agreed. I blame Lou for putting this bum out there.

[erik316wttn]

Hendry, if Howry is still on this team by the time they're back in Chicago, you should be drawn and quartered in a public square.

[cheapseats]

So Lou has 3 left-handed pitchers in his bullpen, and he lets Howry pitch to Branyan, who kills right-handed pitching and can't hit lefties at all?

 

Lou absolutely blows as an in-game manager.

[Soul]

It's great to have a veteran presence like Howry. No matter how much he sucks he maintains his cool out there.

[Anomalied]

I despise Russell Branyan. I still remember the home run he hit against Z to break up his no-hitter last season. That was the same game that Lee and Young went at it.

[inari]

Wow. There are A LOT of Cubs fans there. Those boos were loud.

[bcl412]

HA enough Cubs fans to have Bob hear the boos.

[JoshiQ]

Howry really needs to go.

[TMan92]

We sure have given up a ton of homers in these last two series.

Hart's not any better than Howry, but I get your point.

Its not his fault he's still a Cub or is CONTINUOUSLY used in big situations in big games.

 

But it is his fault he sucks.

[BigSlick]

Lou has put too much trust in the guy

 

He needs to be DFA'd before he can do us anymore harm

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Brewers fans love them some Rickie Weeks

[erik316wttn]

Cubs fans booing Howry off the field.

 

They should line up along the road and boo him all the way back to the hotel, too.

[TMan92]

Amazing that a bunch of jokers on a message board had that inning figured out and none of our coaches could.

[Hall7810]

Cubs fans booing Howry off the field.

 

I thought that was for Weeks.
