6/14 Twins (Baker) @ Cobs (Lilly), 1:20pm WGN

[E.J.]

Nice work Miles.

[CubmanPi]

Theriot finally slaps a single the other way.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

A Cubs loss here would be, I believe, the first time two games under .500 since 0-2 to start 2008. 3-9 under all take you back to June 2007.

[Andy]

I'm seriously not sure if there's ever been a more worthless human being than Aaron Miles.

[Vanilla Ice]

Last 21 games for Fukudome - 9 for his last 62 with a line of .145/.285/.242/.527

 

That's only marginally better than the rest of the team.........

Holy crap. The offense sucks.

[illiniguy]

Why does Miles play everyday? What does he give us that Blanco doesn't?

[Little Slide Rooter]

I cant remember the last time I saw a better at bat than that one by Miles.

[CyHawk_Cub]

At least Riot's hit allowed the lineup to be turned over.....

[TruffleShuffle]

lou please stop playing miles, he's not hitting and hasn't hit all year.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Why does Miles play everyday? What does he give us that Blanco doesn't?

 

Veteranness.

[Andy]

Why does Miles play everyday? What does he give us that Blanco doesn't?

Worse offense and worse defense?

[Vanilla Ice]

Why does Miles play everyday? What does he give us that Blanco doesn't?

Grittiness and veteran-ship(?)

[Little Slide Rooter]

Why does Miles play everyday? What does he give us that Blanco doesn't?

 

seething rage.

[JonJayCutler]

I don't have faith that this organization will do anything about Miles. Even Freel would be a better option at this point.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Holy crap. The offense sucks.

 

No.... it would have to get a whole lot better to just suck.

[illiniguy]

Why does Miles play everyday? What does he give us that Blanco doesn't?

 

Veteranness.

Wait, I saw the guy who valued that yesterday here in KC.

[Sosa21MVP]

The Miles situation is beyond mind numbing.

[illiniguy]

The Miles situation is beyond mind numbing.

But we all knew it would happen. The Cubs can't sign garbage and have it just sit on the bench. His signing all but guaranteed that Ramirez was going down.

[str8carter]

Ron's rug looks a bit unruly today

:D :D :D

[UMFan83]

At least Riot's hit allowed the lineup to be turned over.....

 

And that accomplishes....?

 

Honestly if more runs are scored today by the Cubs, its like 90% likely those runs are from Lee, Bradley or Soto.

[illiniguy]

Awesome game Ted. Our pitchers deserve better than this.

[CubmanPi]

Another hell of an outing from Ted. Another ND for an outstanding start.

 

ETA - ND at best

[Fred Hornkohl]

This is only Lilly's second ND of the year.

 

 

Go TED !!

It accomplishes making Miles be the one to get switched out. Assuming the game goes the expected 13 innings, that's kind of a big deal.

[TruffleShuffle]

so blanco and two hitters in bad slumps. i'm feelin it.
