5/1 Florida (Taylor) @ Cubs (Harden) 1:20 (CT), CSN

[TruffleShuffle]

i see we're trying to take the league lead for walks allowed.

[Sammy Sofa]

Grand.

[rynefan]

This team sucks.

 

And they're getting even suckier, if that's possible.

[Andy]

hahahahahahahahahaha

 

F you cubs

[Keener98]

Lol Rich Harden and the Cobs

[UMFan83]

3 2/3 strong innings for Harden

[NotSoSober]

Don't know why I continue to watch this crap.

[Andy]

Harden probably wants to break something but he'd somehow get injured in the process.

[illiniguy]

We will be 6 out after tonight.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 4-2 when they hit an opposing batter.... 6-9 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[erik316wttn]

This team sucks.

 

And they're getting even suckier, if that's possible.

 

Of course it is.

 

There is no floor to how badly the Cubs can suck.

[rocket]

someone pm me when the cubs are good again

[UMFan83]

I still think we're going to bounce back from this and laugh about it in a few months....

 

 

....but if we don't you guys will all be begging me to turn back into an irrational pessimist.

So you're saying there are no depths to which this team can suck? Ah, you are a wise man.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-3 when their starter pitches 6-1/3 innings or more.... 7-8 when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Little Slide Rooter]

This might be a good time to take up smoking. Anyone know a good brand?

 

Free Allen Trammel!

[TruffleShuffle]

96 walks in 191 innings pitched - that's 4.5 per 9 IP. friggin awful. the orioles were worst in baseball last year, 4.34 BB/9 IP.

 

someone needs to fix this ASAP.

[big_shooter17]

At some point, they will win a game or two again, but this is embarassing. These games are just being handed away and no one on the team could care less.

I'm going straight to the mid-afternoon drinking.

[Friendly Confines]

I heard Todd Walker is hitting 3rd tomorrow

In partial defense of our pitchers.... walks seem to be up this year all over MLB. I wonder if they've put some pressure on the umpires to call the strike zone as it's described in the rules ????

May as well. I cant see any good coming out of this team with the possible exception of a decent draft pick, which will be wasted on another piece of crap.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 1-3 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 9-8 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Where are our walks in comparison to last year. As an offense?

if they are then they should start calling the letter-high ball over the plate, and as far as i can tell, nothing above the belt is ever a strike.
