9/3 Astros (Wolf) @ COBS (Dempster) 7:05 CSN Chicago

[17 Seconds]

Again, when you give up hits to Michael Bourn, you deserve to get runs scored against you

[Schwarber Fan]

The Wrigley wind doesn't knock down other team's homers...

[Allroy]

Start Jimmy for once against a LHP

 

Johnson's been brutal lately

 

I'm trying to figure this out... I know the "norm" is to put as many opposite hand hitting batters in the lineup vs a pitcher, but if the numbers and all are true, why isn't Fukudome getting more starts vs LHP? Just last night, Len said that Kosuke is hitting either 10 or 20 points higher vs LHP than RHP this season.

 

Why have an all-righty lineup so the pitcher can get into a groove - espiecally when the umps will give him that low-outside call for a strike?

 

 

 

 

And just as we say the ball won't be leaving the yard easily, Ty Soapdropping Wigginton goes 2-run shot. Lovely.

[Mizzou]

MLB's worst pitching staff.

 

Brutal.

 

Absolutely brutal.

Your posts are so worthless.

 

You are so annoying.

[JoshiQ]

Back to back crappy starts for Dempster.

 

I'm not able to watch the game. Just by listening to Pat and Ron it doesn't sound like he's pitching that poorly, but is he hanging a lot of stuff?

[Little Slide Rooter]

This looks to be the fist sweep agains us from an NL team. Hopefully the Cobs will be back to being semi competent when we go to their house and do the same.

His stuff is noticeably worse than it has been.

Do they still play the blues in Chicago

when baseball season rolls around.....

[David]

Until just now I had totally forgotten Berkman was even on this team.

 

It's amazing how we've held him in check but have lost to the Astros so much.

[Yeti]

its wonderful to be reminded from time to time why my posting here goes down as the board membership goes up

[CubsBears29]

Another big Geoff Blum HR here (at least for the Astros/Brewers/Phillies)?

 

I wouldn't bet against it.

[Andy]

Last Friday afternoon I got home from work and said I couldn't remember the Cubs last losing. If it weren't for my saying that, I wouldn't remember that last Friday was the last time they won.

If you can't handle people saying they suck right now (which they DO, and if you don't see it, open your eyes) this probably isn't the place for you anyway.

FWIW, Joshi, I haven't noticed anything of the sort.. I've seen him pitching in the low-mid 90s consistenly and getting the movement we've seen from him all year.

[Schwarber Fan]

All overreactions aside...

 

How can we not panic?

 

Z has sucked lately and he skipped his MRI for God knows what reason

Harden's getting extended time off

Dempster's been less effective lately

We're gonna get swept by the Astros, I don't care how hot they've been.

 

I'm not worried about making the playoffs, I'm worried about what comes after - this is supposed to be the year.

Well, at least Ryan got that one.

 

3-0 is not insurmountable, but right now... sure does feel that way.

David says we're okay because of run differential and stuff like that, so it must be true. We aren't allowed to be realistic, unless we're saying the Cubs are gods and couldn't possibly miss the playoffs.

Why not?

 

A 4-19-ish end to the season is certainly not out of the question.

You came here during a 5 game losing streak and a possible serious injury to Zambrano. What did you expect? It's called venting. Nobody is forcing you to read it.

[Sammy Sofa]

I swear, some of you get off on this team doing poorly.
