[witty alias]

So, who are some good managerial candidates? Sandberg? Brenly?

[Butterscup1679666578]

hey what do you know he struck out maybe its because hes a pitcher and not a hitter.

[Little Slide Rooter]

We have Fuku, Font, and Hill still on the bench but hooray for the sideshow of pinch hitting with Z with 2 runners on. I really hope this was a decoy

 

Lou has to save those guys for...well, Im not sure, but you saw how loud the crowd cheered for Z, and isnt that whats important?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That was about the most baffling decision I've seen yet. I surely will love to see Lou explain that one, but he'll instead try to get all pissy at whoever asks him about it.

[JGalt73]

so Lou has pitchers bat twice with runners on 2nd. The second time with the game on the line?

[NotSoSober]

I love watching Zambrano bat, but how can you not pull him back for Fukudome in that situation? Another terrible decision

[cubswin2009]

So, who are some good managerial candidates? Sandberg? Brenly?

Trammel?

[Tryptamine]

So, who are some good managerial candidates? Sandberg? Brenly?

 

I would love to pick up Brenly. Lou has made decisions this year that have been completely devoid of any type of sanity. I genuinely believe he might be losing it mentally. The only other reason I can come up with is that Lou is throwing games and I really hope that's not true.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Patton in to pitch for the CUBS

no one's going to ask him about it anyways.

[Keener98]

Just in case you all forgot, this kid pitching, his name is David Patton. He hasnt pitched in 2 weeks

[cubswin2009]

Patton in to pitch for the CUBS

*looks at sig*

[Fred Hornkohl]

An LaRoche blooped a single to center field

[GlassCow]

I've never really ripped Lou this season yet, but his calm trip to the 3rd base coach after a bad call and the choice to pinch hit Z there is awful.

 

Failing to pinch-hit for Ascanio earlier wasn't exactly the mark of a rocket scientist.

[Sammy Sofa]

This team is ran by morons

 

Delicious.

Huh?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jaramillo struck out swinging

[cubswin2009]

Aaron Miles wouldn't be able to hit a homer at Little Cubs Field I bet.

Take it like hyperbole. I don't really believe it, but his decisions have been so bad it almost seems that way.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wilson grounded out to short, 6-3 , An LaRoche to second

[Arnold Layne]

So, who are some good managerial candidates? Sandberg? Brenly?

 

 

I'd like to see some GM's first.
