5/20: Cubs (Demp) at Cards (Carpenter); 7:15 pm CT, CSN/ESPN

[TruffleShuffle]

nice AB reed. i guess that's a fitting way to end the game since most of the other cubs took a crap in the batter's box tonight.

[Derwood]

As if I could hate the Cardinals any more

[Sammy Sofa]

hahahahaha typical [expletive] cubs

 

Typical baseball team.

[Butterscup1679666578]

hahahah what a pathetic AB.

 

i'm definitely not watching this team for a few days.

 

Yup, not to be emo or anything, but it may be time for a small break myself.

 

its just frustrating to watch. this team is completely pathetic and it'd be better for my health if i just take a few days off.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Forget about Adam Wainwright, these guys couldnt hit Rufus Wainwright,

[DiamondMind]

I can count the patient AB's over the last 48 hours on one hand.

Frustrating is the key word here. Let's focus on the Hawks or something, eh?

Way to cut down your swing with 2 strikes Reed. Effing Dumbass

 

On the bright side we are only 2 games out in the L column and we have been playing like little leaguers and the Brewers have won like their last 100 games.

Well that crap didn't work last year. Because a 3 game sample size said so. Screw winning 97 games. Lets go back to hacking.

[Soul]

Any chance we can just untrade the guys we traded and just go back to '08?

[Keener98]

Yea ok thanks for your input

[Little Slide Rooter]

I just dont understand that when your 2 options are a guy who cant hit righties and a switch hitter who will have to come into the game next inning why youd go with the guy who cant hit righties.

It's also only May 20th.

[Cubswin11]

If we learned anything tonight it's between Miles, Fontenot and Scales we have no major league 2B/3B on the team and Hoff needs to be starting somewhere everyday.

[DiamondMind]

Catch you later guys, going to go snort xanax.

[BigSlick]

Reed was decidedly better in the beard magic column.

So your putting allllll the blame on the Fontenot? How about some of our guys who are making millions of dollars wake the hell up and start playing baseball. No hitting, dumb baserunning, and poor defense the last 2 nights from guys making a hell of alot more funny than Mike Fontenot.

I agree with this statement except for Scales.

Team record by starting second baseman

 

CUBS are 8-6 when Fontenot starts at 2b
CUBS are 11-7 when Miles starts at 2b
CUBS are 2-3 when Scales starts at 2b

That's called mediocrity. :(

When Z comes back, how about we DFA Miles, put Fonty back on the bench, and try Scales @ starting 2B?
