lol at our luck

 

Now and then it does occur to me that the team may in fact be cursed. Usually I just write it off as employing some grade A choke artists.

Eh, I'm of the general opinion that you tend to make your own luck. Lou put us on the short end of that when he put DLee in the lineup tonight

[Little Slide Rooter]

bradley has been God-awful in RBI situations this year.

 

So have a lot of our guys.

[illiniguy]

We suck.

I've long since decided that we aren't cursed, but there's definitely something weird going on. We certainly have more than our share of "Cubbie occurrences".

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kouzmanoff grounded out to short, 6-3

[Sammys Boombox]

Lovely, man on 3rd, 0 outs, 0 runs, again. Again and again.

 

At least he had to throw 24 pitches that inning.

Our biggest curse has been the idiots running the franchise. Edited May 13, 2009 by illiniguy

I thought Theriot threw that into the stands. Thankfully it was just a lollipop.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I just hope that Chris Young doesnt decide its 2007 tommorow.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Blanco struck out swinging

[Hall7810]

Bob booted that!

It's not luck. Guys line out all the time. The problem is Lee and Bradley (especially Bradley) not hitting to the situation.

[Andy]

With our offense it probably won't matter. There are three guys in this lineup that are hitting worth a crap right now, and Lou's inexplicably benching one of them.

[Fred Hornkohl]

L Rodriguez walked

[Sammys Boombox]

Harden and Peavy are both on my fantasy team. WHIP, K, and ERA are all dropping.

 

EDIT: I just checked on Jair Jurrjens. He's thrown 7 scoreless for me.

CUBS are 2-4 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 15-10 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Its Jake Peavy though. Even vs. the Brewers without Ramirez we put up some runs. I think we can get past Young and whatever other irrelevant pitcher they send out Thursday.

It's a pitcher, throw strikes Harden.

I'm guessing he'll own us...

If Hoffpauir plays we can score some runs. I wish he could play third.
