Nice night Hoff. Glad we bench the guy who hit a bomb last week off Peavy, and hit the ball hard 3 times last night.

Love how Lou put Hoffpauir in against one of the toughest pitchers in the game, now we wont see him again for another few days

Yup because its easy to get an at bat a game at most and then be thrown out there against Jake Peavy

[illiniguy]

I like Scales. He's at least trying to work the count.

[chasinf5s]

the 2009 cubs remind me of the 2004 cubs, extremely streaky, one day they score 15 runs, the next week they are ice cold

[illiniguy]

I hate jim hendry so much for aaron miles.

[weis21]

Man, do I hate Miles

[Keener98]

This has to be approaching some sort of record for offensive ineptness over a period of games. This is plain horrible.

[weis21]

That's gotta be it for Peavy though, right?

Does it even matter? I am betting you could hold us to 1 run.

[UMFan83]

Nothing like following a 6 game winning streak with potentially a 5+ losing streak.

 

2 runs in our last 33 innings or 99 outs.

[chasinf5s]

Refresh my memory, were the Cubs ever quite this bad last year, even in the rough early July and early September stretches?

 

in 2008 the cubs got swept by Tampa and Sox but still scored 9 runs each series

 

in sept they got swept by houston and lost 2 of 3 to reds scoring 12 runs in the loses but 14 in the win at Reds

 

youre right, not quite this bad

Love how Lou put Hoffpauir in against one of the toughest pitchers in the game, now we wont see him again for another few days

He has absolutely no pitch recognition and looks pretty damn gawdawful

 

I hope this quiets the "Hoffpaiur for hall of fame" talk

When Derrek Lee starts to out homer Ryan Theriot I'm sure it will.

[Keener98]

Get you head out of your ass Soriano for Christs sake.

[illiniguy]

Is Soriano even watching the game?

[Cynosure]

BLANCO "TROUBLE"

[weis21]

Does it even matter? I am betting you could hold us to 1 run.

In all fairness, Carpeter, Wainwright, and Peavy are three really tough starters to touch up. Still, scoring one run over 4 games is beyond inexcusible - as is being shutout by Pinerio - but I'm just saying.

 

They have to break out of it sometime really soon.

 

And....when I'm typing this Blanco somehow legs out a triple. I give up.

This is awesome.

Who's pitching?

[Shilzzz]

dudes, ron santo is unbearable.

[rynefan]

I'm gonna need a Soriano homer next time up to help me forget about that crap play

Yeah strange call. Hoff has been good, but not exactly a wise move.
