Forgive me if this has already been mentioned on here, but Geo failed a WBC drug test. Seems he enjoyed a little bit of the ganja.

So all of the late night eating while being stoned is the reason for the fatness. Got it!

They were a good hitting team last year, not because of any one player, but because of contributions from everybody. But they replaced phenomenal CF production from Edmonds and crew with Bradley who hasn't done crap, they replaced terrific 2B productioon out of DeRosa/Fontenot with a horrible combination of Miles, Fontenot, Blanco and Scales. They've gotten less out of the C spot becuse the 2nd year starter regressed and they went with a lesser backup. And Soriano has been crap. Throw in the Ramirez decline and there's a lot of stuff working against them and multiple holes. It's not a matter of one guy going down. Not at all.

Unless Micah and Fox get it done, it ain't gettin done.

[Keener98]

Haha good job Hoff, diff kind of fake rally today

[Butterscup1679666578]

Fake rally, engaged.

[JonJayCutler]

Micah going oppo :shock:

[E.J.]

Hoff! Nice. Can we have a real rally for once?

[nick23]

Who does Bradley pinch hit for?

[jersey cubs fan]

I think our biggest problem right now is that this team is getting old. Our "stars" are on the downside of their career and we really don't have any superstars in the making. We need to get younger, but it's going to be tough to do that with all these long-term contracts and NTC's.

 

And no young contributors on the horizon.

[apete6]

Why let Font bat?

[Derwood]

Hoff making sure their record in 1-run road games continues to fall

[JonJayCutler]

Fontenot kinda sucks doesn't he?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Fontenot kinda sucks doesn't he?

 

kinda?

[Banedon]

awesome job Mike.

[nick23]

Fontenot kinda sucks doesn't he?

He's not that good at hitting the ball.

[Butterscup1679666578]

lets trade fontenot for 10 bats

[Keener98]

Fontenot has no business being on a ML roster right now

[Little Slide Rooter]

The frustrating part is that anyonewho decided they wanted to take this division could have it easily. Yes, even the Pirates. A Cubs team firing on all cylinders would be at least 5 games in 1st.

[Butterscup1679666578]

now it's an official fake rally

[apete6]

Fontenot has no business being on a AA roster right now

 

Fixed

[Little Slide Rooter]

lets trade fontenot for 10 bats

 

lets not get greedy here.

[Little Slide Rooter]

And....a fake rally. Yay fake rally.

[jersey cubs fan]

Smoke 'em if you got 'em Soto, how about a big ol' bong hit right now.

[Guest]

I bet Geo smokes this ball.

[Keener98]

What does this say about Lou's opinion of Bradley right now that he wont PH Bradley as a lefty to face Rodney over Soto the Righty.
