Oh nice Koyie Hill is on deck!

 

Yup, because despite the fact that Kosuke has similar numbers against lefties and righties, Lou cannot PH a lefty vs. a lefty or a righty vs. a righty.

 

It's not about Kosuke's numbers in that situation. It's about Burnett's splits from last year:

 

against LH hitters: .171/.238/.276

against RH hitters: .328/.432/.537

 

This year his numbers are a little more even (only about a 100 point OPS difference) but he's still been very tough against left-handers. And his motion suggests that he would be very tough for any left-hander to hit.

Who else is past angry and now at laughing?

 

I've been there since last year's playoff "run."

That is the way I feel. I can't even get emotionally into this season. I got in after the game started so I read through the game thread before tuning into the game. Some of the meltdowns weren't even sad; I started laughing.

"Cy" Duke is going against the Cubs tomorrow. He usually pitches a gem again them.

 

No, he's going on Wednesday.

To complete the sweep and 10 game losing streak?

If the Cubs can lose 2 more games, they will own the longest losing streak by the team in 12 years, since the infamous 0-14 start to the 97 season.

Then the awesomeness resumes with a 4 game set vs. the team with the best record in baseball.

So in the 7th inning down two runs with two men on and a righty pitcher in and the Cubs best hitter this season on the bench, Lou used a pitcher to pinch hit. Nice.

So of course, the pitching that had been pretty damn good over the losing streak goes completely into the toilet when the Cubs finally remember how to score runs.

Apparently Lou ripped Lilly after the game for "not concentrating".

 

Piniella rapped Bradley for criticizing umpires before Lilly was ejected for criticizing plate umpire Bob Davidson and ripped him after the game for not "concentrating."

Im anxious to see what Sullivans idea of ripping a player is compared to mine.
