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

[NotSoSober]

I don't know too much about the farm system (thought I do know it's pretty barren), there's noone we can call up that is better than Cotts or Patton? Is Kevin Hart the best arm in AAA?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Nelson, pinch hitting for Villanueva, walked , Kendall to second

What is really good about this team right now?

Well we are two games behind Milwaukee and St. Louis and they are both playing above their heads. Meanwhile we have had one game with our opening day lineup.

 

And we're not going to anytime soon.

That's true, but I refuse to believe that Soto and Bradley and Lee are as bad as they have played so far.

 

I want to believe that, but that's a lot of sucking to hang your hopes on.

[illiniguy]

I know the Padres and Astros at home, then down to St. Louis

In a week then we should still be pretty close. Those two teams are pretty bad.

 

LOL, you are watching the game right now, right?

Yep. I imagine we look about as bad as we did last year when we played in September. We were awful, couldn't beat the reds. We still won 97 games. It's a 162 game season. There are going to be some crappy stretches.

I agree, save Soto perhaps.

Ole Miss, are you visiting Denver, or do you live there?

 

I'm in the southern burbs...may need a drink after this game.

Lou is sacrificing pitchers like lambs this evening.

[Brian]

Oh no, an exhausted Dempster, Neal Cotts and David Patton are getting shelled.

 

Time to end the Patton experiment and bring up Ascanio.

These games are the worst: no timely hitting, poor managerial decisions, poor pitching, poor defense, etc..... it's not just one thing.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Weeks singled to center field , Duffy scored, Kendall to third, Nelson to second

[BCVM22]

Santo has to be just beside himself at this point.

[Schwarber Fan]

Neil Cotts, ladies and gentlemen

 

???

[Little Slide Rooter]

The David Patton Experiment needs to end after tonight. Bring up Ascanio and Stevens and dispose of Patton and Fox.

It's been Patton for a while now.

 

Damn your sneaky edit.

And the great thing is we play again tomorrow. I figured it would be a slow start. We have had no favor done to us with our schedule early. But the good thing is we already have two trips to Milwaukee and Houston done.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Yup, end of the line for old David Patton.

Yeah sorry I've been to scared to look

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kendall scored, Nelson to third, Weeks to second ona wild pitch

This team, mainly the bullpen, sucks so bad.

Mainly the bullpen? The offense hasn't been too great either.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Lets see if Counsell and Braun can both homer twice in the same freaking inning.
