6/10 Cubs (Z) at Astros (Wandy) 7:05 PM WGN

[Cubswin11]

I would really like to know what those "workouts" were that the Cubs staff put Bradley through before signing him. If they were as thorough and tough as they said I don't see how he didn't need a stretcher and/or wheel chair to get off the field after going through them.

I'll explain it to you when you're older. :wink:

I'm guessing he's reacting to what he was just told about Bradley.

[Andy]

i knew he was fragile but come on, he was never this bad.

Well, this is the Cubs we're talking about. We all know any injury concerns become magnified by about 50x when you join the Cubs.

 

Do you seriously buy into this "only the Cubs" garbage that you spout basically every game?

Do you seriously buy into this "I have to police any posts or posters that I disagree with" garbage you do in every thread?

[TruffleShuffle]

swing at better pitches.

Maybe they pushed him past his limit and he still hasn't recovered!

[CubmanPi]

Nice inning, Cobs. Maybe you can keep Wandy in there a couple more innings.

 

Opposing CGs?

That hes bad and injury prone? But we knew that.

I thought that happened when he was still in Cleveland.

[CubmanPi]

Wow, Len. Just wow.

It's not policing. You post these things on a public forum where people read them and can respond...if you don't want people to respond, don't post them.

 

Game after game you bring up things like bad signings and bad trades and injuries and bad calls and almost without fail talk like you're convinced that these things plague the Cubs more than any other team or that they're unusual occurances that few teams have to deal with.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Now Wandy looks like he's on cruise control. Oh, well..... guess we'll just have to settle for a 1-0 win, eh? :D

[Little Slide Rooter]

It seems more often than not when we let our pitcher get an at bat and another inning when he really shouldnt have, he gets knocked around a bit the next half inning. Hopefully the same goes for Wandy.

Honestly. I don't know how this guy is this fragile without having some sort of syndrome like Rocco Baldelli. He can't run the bases, he can't play the field, now he hurts himself swinging the bat.

 

Its a cliche about baseball players, but come on dude, figure out someway to not hurt yourself.

[CubmanPi]

Z was cruising until 0-2, and now he loses his release point.

I would love to hear about these bad trades and bad signings I've talked about in any way besides anger at Jim Hendry for making them. If you really think I'm stupid enough to believe Hendry is the only GM who makes dumb moves once in a while, I don't know what to tell you.

 

As for the bad calls, there have been a fair amount of them in recent games, and to point it out is not to bemoan some all-consuming bad luck for this team, it's to point out that umps have sucked in our recent games and mostly not in our favor.

[OleMissCub]

 

i think there was like 1 person on this board who wasn't completely against the idea of signing ibanez.

 

I'm on record saying he was one of the best bargains in baseball and that I'd want him. So, me and Tony make 2.

[TruffleShuffle]

how do you walk michael bourn? :x

[Andy]

how do you walk michael bourn? :x

There seems to be one of these posts in almost every thread. How DO we walk Michael Bourn?

[haubrich91]

We need to get more than one run tonight, even if Wandy is pitching.

[Ihatepujols]

Scoring is a lot more fun than not scoring.

That's not how you discussed it at all, but whatever.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 26-4 when they lead at the end of the 6th inning

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh man, there was only one hot chick in that whole montage.

[BigSlick]

I think it something about these anti-lefty lineups that Lou trots out because they are always much less talented than the typical lineup.
