6/07 Cubs (Wells) @ Dusty Baker's Reds(Arroyo) 12:10 CDT WGN

How good can your team really be when Mike Fontenot is your number 5 hitter?

[Soonernation]

And Lee comes thru in the clutch once again; how many of you would have guessed that on June 7 Lee and Theriot would have the same amount of ribbies?

[Soul]

Why are we sacrificing so much?

Misperception that it will help a crap offense, plus just desperation/no more answers

[Flames24Rulz]

The bunt was stupid. We can't hit anyway so we take the bat out of Kosuke's hands and hand them an out?

 

This is frustrating. Jared Burton sucks, so Fontenot better come through here.

Come on now you know Footnote strikes fear into every pitcher in the NL :-))

[Little Slide Rooter]

So if there's no Gooz, we'll probably see Patton today, right?

 

If depends if they find him or Ascanio first when digging through the cob webs.

How long will it take the Cubs to figure out that they have needed an extra pinch hitter many more times than they have needed a 12th pitcher?

 

Do they even realise they have a 12th pitcher?

[big_shooter17]

I feel like there is something going on with the club that we don't know about. Lee not running now combined with some of the other stuff like how Soriano looks as though he would rather be anywhere, but the ballpark. There is also just this total lack of urgency to turn things around. It may just be frustration, but something seems off.

[Hall7810]

Is Rhodes their only LHP?

Font sucks too so it's even

[Soonernation]

wow, they pitched around Footnote like he was Barry Bonds

We have hitters we don't even use. Hoff and Fox need to play. We can't score runs they can produce runs.

[Hall7810]

Oh, I though Hoff was coming in

[Soonernation]

This is the worst Cubs line up i have seen in many a year

[illiniguy]

This is the worst Cubs line up i have seen in many a year

2006

[Soonernation]

It's way beyond time to sacrifice some defense to TRY to get some hitters playing everyday that can produce

Especially since Fontenot has been killing us with his glove anyways.

Battle of former Cubs here in Sacramento today: Eric Patterson against Matt Murton and Mark Bellhorn.

[Soonernation]

This is the worst Cubs line up i have seen in many a year

2006

I would call it a tie

[CHCinIC]

there's our break. Make him pay Hoff!!!!

[weis21]

Reed CRUSHED that one - I'll take it anyways. Come on Micah!

[Soonernation]

Now let's take advantage of that error by the other Alex Gonzalez

[Soonernation]

COME ON HOFF!!!!!!!!!!

[Soul]

Does reed know how terrible his swing is? It's like some little leaguer swatting at the ball or something

I've thought the same thing. Maybe they're waiting around for Hendry to give them some help.

 

I'm guessing they are also sick to death of 2nd and 3rd base being total and complete black holes of suck. Good thing that cancer DeRosa is no longer on the team. Milton Bradley has been a godsend. :thumbsup:

[Soonernation]

Lay off the high ones
