5/21: Cobs (Marshall) @ Cards (Wainwright); 7:15 pm CT, CSN

[BigSlick]

LOL... who's Tyler Greene?

Former 1st round pick with power, speed and good D, but terrible pitch recognition.

Sounds like every Cubs prospect ever

[RedVerbs]

Gotta love how Rasmus suddenly destroys lefthanded pitching as soon as the Cubs come to town.

 

I love how the third rated prospect in baseball is suppose to go his whole career without being able to hit left handed pitching because you hate the Cardinals.

[illiniguy]

Way to drive the ball guys.

[Eric Clipperton]

The Cobs mis-managed by Lou P.

They swing at all pitches quite loosely

Hitters- weak grounders and Ks

Waste solid pitching most days

Lou's take: make Marshall a LOOGY!

 

These are the saddest of possible words

Freel to Miles to Lee

Trio of bear cubs, crapping on fields like birds

Freel to Miles to Lee

Ruthlessly pricking our OPS bubble

Called strike threes, plays ground into double

Contracts that barely indicate all the Cubs trouble

Freel (throws to dugout), Miles, and Lee.

Corey Patterson was once the 2nd rated prospect. I didn't follow him too closely, but I assume he has won a few MVPs, no?

[cubswin2009]

Good inning boys.

[Sosa21MVP]

Most depressing series of the season.

[Little Slide Rooter]

These clowns are not playing good baseball by any stretch of the imagination.

Except they're all injured or flamed out by now.

 

Man, I'm just angry at everything tonight.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Could be worse. Sox lost 20-1 today.

 

Damn !! The sox finally scored. :evil:

[Cynosure]

Let's get it out of our system before Zambrano/Ramirez come back at full strength... then go undefeated!

 

I mean seriously... didn't we have a stretch like this in may of last year AND early August/late July? It's not a big deal... season is not even 25% over. We're going to be fine... our hitters will start hitting, our pitching is fine.

[Friendly Confines]

[cubswin2009]

Some dude named Brian Barden homered

[Andy]

The white Pujols is awake again.

I don't know who you are but I like the cut of your jib.

[illiniguy]

Some dude named Brian Barden homered

Brian Barden was once ranked as the most likely to succeed by his hometown yearbook, so he's not supposed to because you dislike the Cardinals?

[Cynosure]

The white Pujols is awake again.

 

LUDWICK/ANKIEL/BARDEN/STAVINOHVA/RASMUS ARE BACK!Q?!?!

[cubswin2009]

Some dude named Joe Thurston tripled. Milton Bradley blows.

[Andy]

Joe Thurston raking XBH's again.

 

I always think Thurston is white until I see him on TV.

[cubweiser03]

Explosive diarrhea. Thats the Cubs right now.

[illiniguy]

Some dude named Joe Thurston tripled. Milton Bradley blows.

We have to take him over Dunn though because can you imagine how bad Dunn's defense would have been in right field?

Will our hitters hit, though?

 

What if Soto was a one year fluke?

 

Fontenot might only be a part-time player. He has looked awful for quite a while now.

 

DLee is already in decline. He'll be better but he's not somebody who scares anyone.

 

What if Aramis takes a long time to come back? What if he's not the same player? Certainly not out of the question with shoulder injuries.

 

Bradley can hit but he has legit injury concerns too.

 

Soriano is the only guy I trust to have a good year at the plate.

Yeah, Bradley made the ball take an odd bounce off the wall. You've sure got him pegged.

Bradley > Dunn in every aspect besides HRs. Wait til Bradley starts hitting like he's supposed too.

That could be a month and a half worth of runs for us at this point.
