04/17 St Louis (Walters) @ Cubs (Zambrano) 1:20,WGNTV,XM183

Wow...where the heck were the MI's playing on that AB?

 

Slow rolling grounder to the left of 2B, and not only does he get on but he scores a runner from 2nd?

[Sammys Boombox]

I'm sorry. This team isn't winning 80 games this year the way they're playing.

 

The pitching and lack of clutch hitting scares me.

There isn't any such thing as clutch hitting. You either have hitting, or you don't.

 

I disagree. Some guys can handle the situation and others can't. Look at Soriano's numbers with men on compared to nobody on. I'm not saying it proves my argument, but I think it shows evidence toward my argument.

[Careless]

lucky the SS was so far towards third

[Butterscup1679666578]

aramis and fukudome are all this team has on offense right now

[cubswin2009]

Not even magic pixie dust can get that SS to get to that ball. 7-6. We'll get an out here and have our bullpen give up a few runs in the 8th

[chuckywang]

DeRosa up with the Indians down 1 in the 9th and 2 on.

 

Right now, this interests me more than this game.

[Soul]

At least Rammy got a single

[PrimeTime]

Getting a run means that are just going to score 1 or 2 more off the bullpen next inning

[UMFan83]

Here comes a lefty if the Cardinals are smart at all.

[David]

The Cubs are.

 

 

How do you figure?

 

You're right. Silly me, I should've realized that 10 games in I should completely reevaluate the quality (lack thereof, actually) of this team. The Cardinals, Marlins, Blue Jays, Orioles, etc. all > them.

 

 

Better?

[Sammys Boombox]

Haha. I saw this and agreed. But then it just made me think of what short memory we have. Sori has 4 HR, all of them contributing this year.

Notice the difference between Aramis and Derrek Lee? Aramis comes through in the clutch time after time.

yeah good point.

[UMFan83]

HR, Marmol, Gregg, go home.

[Careless]

that is not a strike on a 4 foot tall player, ump

[anabiono]

wow...interesting strike

No your're right you should make silly assumptions that the Cubs are in the top of the league after 9.5 games simply based on last year. It goes both ways, Im not making an assumption either way you are.

[anabiono]

man...horsedookie!

[UMFan83]

He went.

[PrimeTime]

lol fontenot..I miss DeRosa

[Sammys Boombox]

That pitch was pretty high. Once again, big AB affected by a horrible call. And yes, that was horrible.

[cubswin2009]

Alright time for the bullpen to give up 2 here

The relief pitching should probably scare you, but it is what it is and it's what we knew it was coming in. At least we have Marmol.

 

Not a whole lot about this offense should scare you, aside from maybe Derrek Lee having further regressed. We get runners on. We will score lots of runs.

[UMFan83]

Not jumping to conclusions, but name one 2B that could be out there in July just in case....
