hey, no need to ph for terrible hitters like hill and blanco...we've got plenty of time to come back.

 

yeah i have no idea what lou is doing, he seems incapable of sending up a PH until the 9th inning.

[Keener98]

Our last 2 starting pitchers have went 14.1 innings given up 2 runs and we have scored 1 run over tthe last 15 innings lol Edited June 11, 2009 by Keener98

Not PHing for Kosuke was bad. He's been our best hitter, but how long has it been since he had an AB against a LHP?

It feels like the hitters are hitting well until

 

It feels to me like the hitters aren't hitting well at all. If, by chance, somebody is good enough to get a hit, the guy responsible for driving him in is probably going to be less likely to get a hit, since he won't be a good hitter. This is like the 2005/2006 lineup, a couple decent bats, but a whole bunch of bad ones. When the good ones gets on, the bad ones aren't good enough to be counted on. When you run out Hoffpauir, Fontenot, Hill, Blanco and pitcher for 5/9 of your lineup, you are asking for trouble. When you have a not hitting in any situation Bradley in the middle of the order, he's going to leave people on. When you have Theriot, who has done very little against RHP throughout his career, followed by Fukudome against a LHP for like the 5th time this year, and DLee, who stopped being a dependable middle of the order hitting in May of last year, it shouldn't be a surprise if they leave people on base.

 

I buy that except that no one hitter has been consistently good all season and our hitters have taken turns being good. It's just unlucky that we haven't been able to string anybod these hot streaks together at the same time.

i always love when that happens to other teams.

Screw them, this isn't the AL. If they wanted to win they should have driven their own runs in.

Its like I said, Lou wont start Fuku vs a lefty, but he will leave him in to face a lefty in a crucial part of a game. It makes no sense at all, but we are talking about Lou.

[TruffleShuffle]

bradley PH i guess? like it matters.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 6-7 when the opponent hits a sac fly.... 23-20 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Z did last Friday and Dempster was on Third and he has 1 of our 3 hits today.

[TruffleShuffle]

oh good miles, because he's been so solid this year.

[Terp]

Aaron Miles first? lol.

[Keener98]

haha Aaron [expletive] Miles is our 1st ph off the bench. I love our bench

[ctcf]

Aaron Miles the pinch hitter.

 

Great call sending Fox down.

[Ihatepujols]

HOLY [expletive]!!!!! Aaron Miles for Dempster!

 

"Hemmerle for Mitchell! Go Back to Cincinnatti!!!!!!"

[Keener98]

Wooo 4 outs to go

[Terp]

Theriot strikeout time.

[RedFlash]

Quick somebody inject Aaron Miles with some kind of steroids and then rat his arse off to MLB. Hopefully we can get a 50 game suspension for Miles.

[Ihatepujols]

I wanna [expletive] hurt somebody....over a baseball game thats right i want to [expletive] hurt somebody!!!!!!! This team is pissing me the [expletive] off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[TruffleShuffle]

haha Aaron [expletive] Miles is our 1st ph off the bench. I love our bench

 

bradley and scales are both better options. lou apparently hasn't watched any baseball this season.

[Tryptamine]

There is not one Cubs team I have disliked more than this one.

[Keener98]

Impressive Theriot those last 2 at bats of yours were [expletive] awesome. Watch the fastballs for strikes go down the middle then swing at [expletive] out of the zone. Awesome

[E.J.]

I'm hoping we lose this game 1-0. I can Mount Lou erupting and making some changes. Soriano really needs to get time off.

[Ihatepujols]

My blood pressure is boiling right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: [expletive] these overpaid underachieving bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
