Wrigley Field is going to be quite a rough homecoming for this team right now. If they lose today, the boos are going to be out from the 1st pitch on.

[Rusch33]

Theriot needs to stop trying to hit homers all of the time. He went from a .310 hitter to .265 fairly quick.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hairston popped out to shallow right field

[Sosa21MVP]

I've seen the Cubs have some bad road swings before but holy crap this is one of the most pathetic. 3 runs on the entire trip so far. It never sounds any less incredulous no matter how many times I say it to myself.

As well they should. Nobody should complain about it either. This team has it coming.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Gonzlez struck out swinging

[haubrich91]

Gonzalez has the mentality of a left handed Pujols.

[witty alias]

I just found out why Lee is sitting this game out.

 

His elbow is sore from tipping his cap.

 

Well done.

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh God, this game is so boring.

I understand the fans have a right to boo, but booing a team that is already pressing incredibly is pretty ignorant. Its not like these guys arent wanting to get hits, score runs, and win games. Booing them does nothing, as Im sure they are pretty embarrassed with their play without the fans making it worse. Home is where you are supposed to be able to go during rough times, and receive praise.

If you can't boo a team for a performance so bad that it's starting to approach historical levels, then when can you boo a team?

Personally, I'm not seeing the effort at the plate to put in good ABs that I've been seeing for the past year or so.

 

I disagree that they're doing everything they can.

If you can't boo a team for a performance so bad that it's starting to approach historical levels, then when can you boo a team?

 

What exactly does booing the home team accomplish? Do you think booing them is going to make them play better? Do you think they dont know theyve played like [expletive] all week? I just dont see the point

[Keener98]

Reed vs a right handed pitcher. Nice call Lou, screw his career numbers saying hes horrible against them.
