[cubbyvirus00]

I've never disliked a cub player more that Miles.

Miles, pinch hitting for Guzman, called out on strikes

 

He might be worse than Neifi.

[cubbyvirus00]

Soriano is a poor mans Sosa. I'm convinced.

[anabiono]

weathers make my heart swell

 

are he and gorzallany brothers?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-1 when they trail by 4 runs or more at the end of the 8th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Milwaukee      6
Philadelphia   1  F

NY Mets        8  9
St. Louis     12

[Fred Hornkohl]

Samardzija in to pitch for the CUBS

[anabiono]

so is little baby bradley going to make an appearance as PH in the bottom of the ninth?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hernandez singled to right field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Gonzalez popped out to second base

[weatherdood]

I've never disliked a cub player more that Miles.

 

See Cotts, Neal

[Fred Hornkohl]

Nix, pinch hitting for Weathers, struck out swinging

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 5-2 when the opponent strikes out at least 9 times.... 3-3 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

Can someone give me one good thing about this team? Our pitching looks dook, and our offense is anemic

 

They've looked lost at times, and yet, no matter how this game ends, they will finish the day on pace for 92 wins.

 

And 4th place!

 

Haha I gotta get off this board. When I landed and saw the cubs were losing 2-0 I was like "whatever" but then after reading 3 pages of this game thread I'm feeling pessimistic and wanting to throw my phone out the window. But for the most part I still have a level headed approach about this team. The team looked like garbage at times last year and we did alright.

This team isn't on the same level as last year's team and it's beginning to look pretty obvious. Derrek Lee just sucks, Soto looks out of shape, our bullpen is a mess, we know Harden and Bradley won't stay healthy, our defense is atrocious, etc, etc, etc.

 

And despite this we are 8-6 with Bradley soto and fontenot giving us almost nothing and the bullpen underachieving. 6 of last years regulars are the same as well as 4 starters. Do you really think that Edmonds, DeRosa and Marquis being replaced by Bradley, Fontenot and Marshall cause a 97 win team to fade into mediocrity? When 3 of your 8 position players are hitting .150 you are going to have trouble scoring runs. Do you think that they will still be hitting under .150 at the end of the year?

ooooh...maybe a cage match fight to the death could be set up where the victor gets an anvil dropped on their head

[Fred Hornkohl]

Taveras doubled to left field , Hernandez to third

[Soul]

I took a look at the scoreboard, and it said we were losing.

 

That can't be right, so I'm going to ignore it and continue on with my day.
