I liked FCs lineup better. Way to get creative Lou.

It really sucks sitting in perfect, sunny weather right now knowing it's going to storm in t-minus 2 hours.

CUBS on 18 June.....

 

Year      W    L    Pct  Place      GB    Lead
1907     10   11   .784    1st    ----     6.0

 

Maybe my math is off, but 10-11 doesn't look like a .784 winning percentage to me. ;)

Are we sure it is? Wasnt it supposed to be raining all morning?

I was going to highlight the same line, I don't know Fred will enough to joke with him. But given Fred was there in 1907 you'd think it'd be correct. ;)

[inari]

I managed to trade my tickets for Tuesday's game for tickets to today's, as I could not have gone to a September makeup. If this one now gets rained out too, I give up.

[erik316wttn]

Bring back Roosevelt Brown

 

Julio Zuleta can do voodoo on the bats again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah..... simple typo. CUBS were 40-11 on this day in 1907.

Cubs are just getting their suckiness out of the way so they play fantastically when I go to two games in July.

[Terp]

Getting more defensive is the only change? Wow.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have not stolen a base in their last 9 games

CUBS have not homered in their last 4 games

CUBS have not scored double digit runs in their last 27 games

CUBS have not scored 4 or more runs in one inning in their last 27 games

CUBS have not hit a batter in their last 11 games

CUBS have not gotten double digit hits in their last 6 games

CUBS are 10-6 when K Hill catches.... 20-25 when Soto catches

CUBS are 30-27 when Soriano leads off.... 0-4 when he doesn't

CUBS are 17-12 when Fontenot bats sixth.... 13-19 when he doesn't.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[apete6]

Getting more defensive is the only change? Wow.

 

Is Lou even trying anymore?

 

I know he's not the one swinging the bats, but at what point does he get the blame here? If they are 10 out after the Brewers series July 4th weekend, would they consider canning him?

 

I think Hendry is safe until the new owner takes over, even though he shouldn't be.

[laurens]

so you're taking the blame for the suckage?

[SouthSideRyan]

Maybe Lou murdered Aaron Miles. That would be creative.

Lou's not getting fired this season even if they end up in last place.

A .080 OPS difference and a better glove. hey, it's still better than what we had out there the last couple of weeks.

 

 

Please come back Aramis :(

[Terp]

I love how they're struggling for offense, when Fox actually gets a chance he hits what would be a home run on a normal wind day yet he can't crack the lineup.

Yeah.... instead of .250 below replacement level, it's only .175 below. That's sooooooo much better. We should be happy, no?

Hey, I didn't say I was happy with either Miles nor Blanco out there. I really hate the situation at 2B at the moment.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Any discussion about Jake Fox deserves an asterisk for sample size warnings, but did you know.... Jake Fox is 5 for 7 as a pinch hitter, and 0 for 6 when he's in the lineup.

 

Lou has said he's going to use Fox as a pinch hitter. I wouldn't expect to see him in the lineup until we get to Detroit next week.
