Something needs to be done about these bats. I've seen a season's worth of broken bats already in so short a time.

[Outshined_One]

I find it really odd that the Cubs have been shut out for so long and have struck out very few times. It's been weak grounder and fly outs; is that something you attribute to bad luck with babip?

 

Pretty much, yeah, considering the Cubs have had some hard hit balls right at people and that haven't dropped for hits.

[Banedon]

I'd rather get this out of our system before facing the Cardinals.

Rich Poythress.

 

He's been hot hot hot with the bat, but he doesn't sound like the kind of guy this team would go for given his limited tools elsewhere.

 

It'd be like the whole Travis Snider thing all over again.

 

Exactly. I can't imagine Wilken likes the first round college first baseman types too much.

[Schwarber Fan]

This feels like the west coast trip to SD and LA

[Fred Hornkohl]

Milwaukee      6
Philadelphia   1  8

NY Mets        3
St. Louis      9  6

Kerry Wood has 3 saves? Doesn't Gregg have like 1?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Taveras singled to right field

[Little Slide Rooter]

Hopefully Carlos punches someones lights out before this games over.

[Tryptamine]

Hopefully Carlos punches someones lights out before this games over.

 

Please let it be Cotts or Miles.

[Sammys Boombox]

Hey guys. Just got home form work. Am I reading the box score correctly? Was Soriano picked off of second AND thrown out trying to steal third?

[erik316wttn]

Hopefully Carlos punches someones lights out before this games over.

 

And with our luck he'll break his hand and be out for 2 months, and we'd lose our best pitcher and our 4th best hitter.

[Careless]

Kerry Wood has 3 saves? Doesn't Gregg have like 1?

Yes, but the Cubs only have 3 total and Marmol has the other two

[Little Slide Rooter]

Wasting yet another fantastic pitching performance; I feel bad for Lilly and Z.

Lilly killed himself with his own fielding though.

 

You should be able to make 1 little mistake when you supposedly have one of the best offenses in the NL behind you.

[cubswin2009]

lol

[Outshined_One]

Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Taveras took third on a wild pickoff throw, E1

[erik316wttn]

bahahahahahaaaaaaaa

[Little Slide Rooter]

St. Louis doesnt look particularly stoppable at this point in time.

[Keener98]

Lol welcome to the Bad News [expletive] Bears folks

[Tryptamine]

Really, could the Cubs be playing worse right now? This is getting embarrassing. Edited April 23, 2009 by Tryptamine

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-5 when they commit 1 or more errors.... 8-0 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[cubswin2009]

St. Louis doesnt look particularly stoppable at this point in time.

Magic Pixie Dust is in full force again. The Cubs would win 130 under TLR

[illiniguy]

St. Louis doesnt look particularly stoppable at this point in time.

They do this every year. Here's the rub. Most of their guys won't keep OPSing over 1.000 for the year.

[Outshined_One]

Exactly. I can't imagine Wilken likes the first round college first baseman types too much.

 

I can see him being interested in Ryan Wheeler or Ben Paulsen. You probably know more about Wheeler than I do, though.
