[Little Slide Rooter]

The Soriano hate on this board is getting ridiculous.

 

Whats not to get? Hes been horid for the past 2 months.

[cheapseats]

The 2-0 pitch to Theriot might be the worst strike call I've ever seen.

[Little Slide Rooter]

We lost our SPARK :(

Why am I getting the ESPN Radio feed on XM and not WGN? The game isnt on National feed....

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 17-6 when they score in the first inning.... 21-32 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

If Fuld had led off, Lee would have gotten a hit. Damn you Lou, its completely your fault Lee struck out.

[cheapseats]

If Fuld had led off, Lee would have gotten a hit. Damn you Lou.

 

Not just a hit. It would've been a grand slam.

[JonJayCutler]

The Soriano hate on this board is getting ridiculous.

I'm just not a big fan of hating on a good player who will inevitably get hot again.

[A-Cal]

a little piece of me died today not seeing fuld in the lineup

[Fred Hornkohl]

If Fuld had led off, Lee would have gotten a hit. Damn you Lou, its completely your fault Lee struck out.

:evil:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fielder grounded out to second, 4-3

[Fred Hornkohl]

McGehee flied out to right center field

[Ihatepujols]

If Fuld had led off, Lee would have gotten a hit. Damn you Lou.

 

Not just a hit. It would've been a grand slam.

 

Maybe even a 5-run homer!

According to MLB.com's Carrie Muskat, Mike Fontenot risks demotion if he doesn't perform well this weekend.

With Aramis Ramirez, Reed Johnson and Angel Guzman all expected to return from the disabled list as soon as Monday, the Cubs will need to jettison some players. With Andres Blanco switch-hitting and hitting well of late, Fontenot needs to demonstrate his worth to the Cubs or face the consequences. He has options left, which hurts him as well.
