Re: 4/29 Cubs (Dempster) @ Diamondbacks (Davis) 2:40 CT, CSN

[BigSlick]

Watching the Cubs offense is very painful at times.

Its a beautiful melting pot of patient and punchless, the powerful and impatient, and the punchless and impatient

I hate this team (the Cubs, not D-Backs).

 

Demp blows, Miles blows, Lee blows, I like Johnson and Soto but they are blowing, Fontenot is meh right now and I'm not so sure if he's really going to be that great at any point, Cotts blows, Gregg blows, and Patton is pretty darn bad.

 

But, Aramis, Big Z, Sori, Harden, Marmol, Theriot, and FUKU are all pretty awesome, soooo....

 

Having said all that I still have full confidence we will win the division, BUT they are just so darn unfun to watch right now.

[Little Slide Rooter]

The frusterating thing is, there are moves that can be made to make this better, and more importantly moves that shouldnt have been made.

 

Aaron Miles should be Mark DeRosa

Mike Fontenot should be Aaron Miles

Derrick Lowe could have been Ryan Dempster

Jim Edmonds, Jake Fox, or a monkey in a diaper and a turban should be Joey Gathright.

Upton singled to left field

[Schwarber Fan]

Well bad timed karma I suppose

[Little Slide Rooter]

The best part is, when we go home to face our nemesis the Marlins, The Cards get a nice little series againt the Nationals.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Upton stole second base

[Tryptamine]

Remember when Soto used to throw out runners? That was fun.

We get to face the Nationals at some point, too.

 

Granted, the Cubs will still find a way to blow it against them, but still...

That is the least of my concerns with him.

CUBS are 2-7 when they trail at the end of the sixth inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Outshined_One]

We should expect these things these days.

With the way this team has been playing, I think we can only say that particular phrase once the last out of the 9th has been recorded.
