7/28 Astros (Oswalt) @ Cubs (Dempster) 7:05 WGN

[Little Slide Rooter]

It sure would be nice if the Dodgers could do to the Cardinals what theyve done to everyone else this season.

[Coach C]

Use two hands, Riot.

[RedFlash]

Why Heilman still have a job, I do not know. But the Cubs need to find a guy to replace Heilman.

They have one, it seems. Lou took him out to bring Heilman in. #-o

[Little Slide Rooter]

I hate Aaron Heilman.

 

And Aaron Miles.

 

And Milton Bradley. Nice off season Jimbo.

[hossdriver]

If it weren't for the runner being inherited and belonging to everyone else, Heilman's ERA would be up around 10 or so... If I didn't know his family, I'd cus him...

[MADD_DOG_31]

I would rather have Aaron Miles pitching than Heilman....he is the worst....maybe in baseball

[Irrelevant Dude]

I can't believe we're going to lose to the Houston Astros' college of pitchers.

[weis21]

haha

 

If you search Heilman at B-R it finds a "??? Heilman" that played in the minors from 1920-1926. I bet he was better than Aaron.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Heilman is indeed the new Howry, the difference being Howry was good at one point.

[Irrelevant Dude]

On the bright side, we probably have a better chance scoring 4 off Byrdak than 1 off Valverde.

[Cubs Fan In NY]

You'd think Oswalt getting knocked out of the game early would have been a sign of things to come. I really didn't expect the Cubs to lose this one.

Its frustrating cause Heilman actually has decent stuff. He just can't locate it...

[Butterscup1679666578]

got a hold of that one

WTP

[BCVM22]

Why can't our scrubs ever do good things?

[Sammy Sofa]

Considering that you had a pitcher coming off the DL and it's a game after an extra innings bonanza, a loss really isn't that surprising.

 

Oh, Hill, how you tease.

[Sammy Sofa]

Carlos Lee is awesome.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Why can't our scrubs ever do good things?

That's not true. Hill does good things about 19% of the time.

[Keener98]

Lol at Hoff

[Butterscup1679666578]

i know i'm not the only one here who has seen enough of hoff, right?

[Cubs Fan In NY]

Do players usually talk to the fans in the outfield? In all the games I've gone to here the only player I've seen consistently converse with the fans and play around was Rondell White.

[Irrelevant Dude]

He looks terrible right now. Maybe some consistent time in the minors would benefit him to get his swing back together by September... not that we have any better options to call up.

No way... He's the heir-apparent to washed up Derek Lee

 

:thumbsup:

he's just miserable at pitch recognition and he has no patience. he's frustrating because he literally is all or nothing.
