4/28 Nationals (Atilano) v. Cubs (Dempster) 1:20cst CSN

[Keener98]

can't wait to see how we [expletive] this up

 

There you go

[illiniguy]

Maybe the Brewers just suck.

[Schwarber Fan]

Maybe the Brewers just suck.

 

They just suck more.

[UMFan83]

Gah, one pitch from bases loaded 0 outs, and instead its 1 on 2 outs. Can't buy a break.

[JonnyRed]

Missing: Bats for Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez. If found, please return to the Cubs dugout.

[mul21]

Maybe the Brewers just suck.

 

If that's the case, then how would you describe the current state of the Pirates?

[Cubswin11]

:banghead:

[Keener98]

[expletive] horrible

[illiniguy]

Way to get a big hit offense.

[Schwarber Fan]

just freakin amazing

[UMFan83]

That will be weird if we go 0-5 in series against the Braves, Reds, Astros, Mets, and Nationals and 2-0 against the Brewers

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeah, Lou may be talking about the offense, Len, but he's the [expletive] dumbass who insists on keeping Lee and Aramis at 3-4 despite being wretched and sitting Soriano and Soto as much as possible. Go to [expletive] Hell, Lou.

pretty funny to see the graph spike up to "cubs favored" as the hitters early in the inning get on base, then plummet back down as the guys behind them [expletive] the bed.

Are we pretending that the Cubs were somehow a lock to be better than the Braves and Mets for that to be weird?

[Sammy Sofa]

Do you think the thought would ever cross Lou's mind to sub a catcher for OFFENSE?

the cubs are definitely worse than the braves and quite possibly worse than the reds and mets. hell the nationals even have a better record than us.

He just really likes Hill

Yep, Lou's answer to the problems the offense is having was to move Zambrano to the bullpen. I thought for sure he would hit and run on the 3-2 pitch to Aramis. I know Ramirez has been striking out a lot, but I thought Lou would try to make something happen. Might not have made a difference, but not trying something is not helping.

 

Not that I want Tracy playing, but I wonder if Lee or Ramirez will get a day off tomorrow.

Lee definitely needs one off before Aramis. Just start Nady and move him down in the lineup. If it's a RH pitcher go:

 

Theriot

Fukudome

Soto

Byrd

Aramis

Soriano

Nady

Fontenot

[Schwarber Fan]

PLEASE don't f this up, Cobs

[Ballgame64]

Another good start. Come on Fontenot.

Duh.

 

 

No I just think its funny that we can't win a series against any team other than Milwaukee.

[Garwilly]

As cliched as it sounds, Byrd plays every play the right way. I enjoy rooting for him very much.

[Prizefight]

PLEASE don't f this up, Cobs

 

Just tuning in today? :P

 

 

 

Although, I have a good feeling about this one..

 

 

Edit: Nm, Chad Tracy...really Lou?

[Keener98]

Sweet lets see how we screw this up. Chad Tracy better just be a damn decoy
