5/9 Cubs (Dempster) vs Brewers (Gallardo) 6:05 PM CSN

[UMFan83]

Looks like Cincinnati is going to send us back to 4th place again.

[BCVM22]

what happened to the geo of 2008?

 

2009 Geo ate him.

 

Why is Demp still in?

[Sammys Boombox]

OK. This is insane. IT'S CALLED A BREAKING BALL! SOTO AND HOFF, IT'S A BREAKING BALL!

[Little Slide Rooter]

This is clearly not so much Lous trust in Dempster as his distrust on the majority of his pen.

[Andy]

how come that kind of crap only seems to happen to the cubs? at least, among "contending teams".

For all the frakking one-year wonder type guys in this division, and only Geovany Soto falls off the cliff for no damn reason. Ridiculous.

[Magnetic Curses]

we better figure out how to hit breaking pitches real fast because no one throws us fastballs anymore and no one ever seems to miss with the junk, ever.

[Roast]

So is Lou trying to kill Ryan or what?

[UMFan83]

The second day in a row where we loaded the bases with 1 out in a 1 run game and didn't score. If you want to look at why we aren't winning as much this year, there is a reason. We seemed to always get those runs in last year. Bah, well we still have 6 more outs to work with today.

 

we also had 1st and 3rd with 0 out in the first inning and didn't score.

 

Hah really? I was watching a movie so I didn't catch it. Well at least that you can attribute to facing a really good pitcher.

[haubrich91]

I don't know what's worse; the fact that Dempster is still in or the fact that our offense flat out sucks.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Weeks flied out to center field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Counsell homered to right field

[UMFan83]

Why does he always hurt us?

[BCVM22]

I don't know what's worse; the fact that Dempster is still in or the fact that our offense flat out sucks.

 

Yes.

 

AAAAAAND Craig Counsell homers. Awesome.

[Roast]

Craig Fing council?

[cubswin2009]

lol

[rynefan]

I don't know what's worse; the fact that Dempster is still in or the fact that our offense flat out sucks.

 

I'm gonna go with choice A, seeing as Counsell just cranked one. This is on YOU Lou.

[Andy]

And Craig effing Counsell homers. We can't buy a damn hit from anyone besides Hoffpauir, and Craig Counsell homers.

 

Screw this.

[haubrich91]

Yeah, I'm turning this game off.

[NotSoSober]

lol @ both Dempster still pitching and Craig Counsel hitting a HR. The next couple of weeks won't be fun to watch.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Always after our guys screw up another bases loaded situation.

[Magnetic Curses]

only.....the.....cubs.

 

i'm not worried about the brewers because they'll finish under .500, but seriously, there are other teams we should worry about.

[Outshined_One]

Turning it off for the night.

[Andy]

Shut up bob.

[TruffleShuffle]

let's see if we can get him to 140 pitches.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Braun homered to left field
