5/23: Super Cobs (Wells) @ Padres (Cy Young) 9:05 PM CT CSN

[DiamondMind]

Even Soriano isn't smiling any more. :\

[UMFan83]

These games aren't even fun to watch.

 

Yeah...usually not scoring EVER is not fun to watch.

 

But beyond that, there's nothing interesting... even the players look like they'd rather be anywhere else

 

I hate when people say things like that. When your team is losing you always look like that. When your team is winning you always look like you are playing with a lot of heart.

[cubswin2009]

Best inning ever!

[DiamondMind]

Oh my god that was a terrible half inning.

[rynefan]

What a [expletive] terrible at bat from Theriot, Jesus Christ thats just pathetic

 

That at bat underscores my point. It's like they don't even want to try. And why is there a giant stuffed Pikachu along the wall behind home plate?

Ehhh....I think it's obvious they're losing focus.

[DiamondMind]

Obligatory "roll over" or "fake rally" for the 9th question.

they're just slumping and not seeing pitches well right now. or they're professionals who have collectively decided to stop trying, i guess either one is possible.

Why would they be losing focus?

I mean, what else could they focus on?

 

They are pro baseball players. No excuses

Exactly. There are games you lose, because you just lose. Then there are slumps you get in where you lose focus and this is one of them.

[Gingerballs Lives]

The fukucopter looks back. Way in the bucket there.

 

Just a horrible, horrible baseball team.

Even professionals can lose focus and guidance on occasion. I think we're seeing that.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I wish my wife would go into labor tonight so I could forget about this pitiful effort by the Cubs.

[cubswin2009]

I want a change now. Whether it's firing Lou or getting rid of Gerald Perry.

They're not a horrible baseball team. They're a horrible baseball team right now. Piniella or the front office has to start being assertive about this, I don't care which one.

Who among the players is the team leader? I just don't really see one

[DiamondMind]

I want a change now. Whether it's firing Lou or getting rid of Gerald Perry.

 

Yup. This is along the lines of what I'm thinking. Someone's gotta be pro-active and assertive about this, as I don't see the ship righting itself.

[bcl412]

I want a change now. Whether it's firing Lou or getting rid of Gerald Perry.

 

I don't see how either of those thing will change how the team is playing right now.

[UMFan83]

Both would be really stupid moves. Perspective guys.

Doing nothing isn't working either.

That's what I'm thinking. More just keeps getting worse rather than bright spots making their grand entrance.

If you can explain how randomly firing a manager or firing the hitting coach is going to make them play better be my guest.

You know, I thought "is this a knee-jerk reaction"? But we've been like this all year. In fact we've arguably been inconsistent like this since last year. Add some killer injuries on top of it, and you've got the problem we're experiencing now. We gotta make a change somewhere, even if its just to do it.
