I still can't believe it. I saw it, but I don't believe it.

 

What the hell was Lee doing on that play? No one else noticed that?

K looking then double play

 

eh had it backwards

[UMFan83]

Can someone look into the phenomenon that is the Chicago Cubs fake 9th inning rally? How many times this year have we seen the Cubs offense lifeless throughout the entire game and then the 9th inning comes around and all the sudden we finally get some people on base and a fake rally occurs. Why is this?

I HATE ending a game with a called third. Yuck.

[Keener98]

[bcl412]

Hey Cubs. You can break out of this any time now.

[rynefan]

Garbage

Losers

Pathetic Losers

Pathetic garbage

embarassment to baseball

 

Any of those should do the trick.

[DiamondMind]

We're all sick, guys. We're sick. We need to be institutionalized for putting up with this. So, so sick.

[TruffleShuffle]

Hoffpauir hit it square, just bad luck. can't be too upset wtih that...

 

that's another thing that happens in a slump. they're not swinging the bats well but there have also been some hard hit balls leading to outs. just a bad week.

[Arnold Layne]

Gotta keep your headz up, guyz. Gotta go get em next time! Then, maybe some Dairy Queen.

[Cynosure]

Thank God for the Blackhawks deep playoff run or I would have been banned for negativity/profanity over a week ago on these threads. Thank God I've only had to suffer through a few!

[Little Slide Rooter]

How is this team above .500?

[kjfoster 1553]

According to my calculation, at this rate I will be starting a game thread in 7 games... :cry:

[bcl412]

How is this team above .500?

 

They play fairly well at home.

Every team plays similar to this at some point in a season. Maybe not 3 runs in 5 games but just as irritating.

 

Wow, 1st and 3rd 0 outs and we can't even get 1 of the runs home.

 

What is the record for least runs scored by a team over a 5 game span?

Making a change just to make a change is never a good idea. That is true in almost any area of life. If there's a reason to justify the change, then it's worth considering. But frankly, it's quite asinine and short sighted just to make a change unless there is a tangible reason to make one.

 

What would you do if you were in a position of power with the Cubs right now, then? Wait it out indefinitely? Honestly curious.

 

 

Frankly, yes. If I could make a change in the roster via trade that I felt would improve the team, I'd surely do that, but at this point in the season, few teams are selling. Changing the manager or hitting coach at this point is unlikely to bring results. Both Lou and Perry are good at what they do. There's probably few if any people that could be found at midseason who are better than they.

 

Firing the GM at this point does nothing.

 

Right now, the best thing to do is wait it out. Now, if this team flounders all year long, then looking at wholesale changes is a valuable thing to do. It's just that it's pretty pointless at this stage and probably will do more harm than good.
