Go CUBS !!!

Sammy Sofa · May 9, 2010

that about sums it up

in before inevitable Koyie Hill start.

I have a feeling it'll be the forfeit lineup overall with the relative early start after last night.

Little Slide Rooter · May 9, 2010

I remember this kid very well. Loaded the bases with 0 out in the 1st, and he was let off the hook, and that was the story of the game. Now that out offense is playing slightly more compeantly, maybe we can get a few runs off him. My ideal lineup of the day that will never happen:

Theriot

Castro

Byrd

Soto

Fukudome

Soriano

Lee

Ramirez

Demp

bhogg · May 9, 2010

Fred -- you're just a hop, skip, and jump away from me. I'm over in Warren. What in the world are you doing over there. . . . Potlatch / Clearwater, maybe?

Enjoy your time in the natural state. I'm taking my Mom to a AA game (Arkansas Travelers) so I get to miss out on watching another craptacular Cub game. Yay, me!

I've got the whole damned weekend to get from Piqua, OH to Dallas...... so I spent the night here in Prescott at one of my favorite Mom & Pop Trucks Stops.

eta: I've been known to blow through Warren now and again when they send me down to Crossett to pick up paper. That constitutes a fair warning, no? :wink:

Schwarber Fan · May 9, 2010

I was just about to post that it had been too long for Lou's taste to keep Colvin out of the lineup and then I checked Muskat's twitter:

Theriot

Fukudome

Lee

Byrd

Ramirez

Colvin

Castro

Hill

Dempster

Could have been a good game to give Fontanot a start at 3rd, but whatever. I guess it makes more sense to keep Soriano out of the lineup for no good reason.

"Look, we uhh got five outfielders we have to uhh play. Soriano will get the day off, and we'll let uhh the kid...uhh Colvin play in left."

Yay or nay?

muntjack · May 9, 2010

Ugh, Soto is never going to get enough PAs to qualify.

haubrich91 · May 9, 2010

Another awful first inning.

bcruise · May 9, 2010

I'm preparing my cap for an imminent tipping to Mr. Leake.

muntjack · May 9, 2010

Let me be the first to say we are not going to do anything today.

Ballgame64 · May 9, 2010

Another awful first inning.

Going to be a tough day for the Cubs if the home plate ump keeps giving a rookie pitcher 6 inches off the outside corner.

haubrich91 · May 9, 2010

Wow we suck.

Cubswin11 · May 9, 2010

Johnny Gomes is quickly becoming one of my most hated players in MLB. Not because he is killing us this series, but more because of his hair and douchbaggery on the basepaths and reactions after hits.

bcruise · May 9, 2010

....

Cue up the Benny Hill music.

Schwarber Fan · May 9, 2010

](*,) :? :shock: :-))

haubrich91 · May 9, 2010

I'm done. **** the Cubs. ****.

May 9, 2010

I don't want to say that Theriot should have caught that throw, but I think I would've come up with it.

Ballgame64 · May 9, 2010

Basic fundamental plays a team supposedly practice daily in spring training and the $145 million team can't execute. Since you can't fire all the players, maybe it is time to send Lou to the retirement home. This team needs something to wake it up. Playing mediocre teams sure hasn't seemed to help.

Drew Doughty · May 9, 2010

I don't want to say that Theriot should have caught that throw, but I think I would've come up with it.

that was just an awful play all around.

Soul · May 9, 2010

This team has become a real chore to watch and root for. Seems like every time I turn on the TV it's just anotherbad play, or more non-existent offense, or just generally sloppy losing baseball.

Sure there are moments of good stuff, but those have become more islands in a sea of frustration than the norm.

Keep winning, Blackhawks. I'm not ready for Cub exclusivity right now.

Drew Doughty · May 9, 2010

figured this was coming. guess i don't understand the frustration with people being excited about success.

5/9: COBS (Dempster) @ DBR (Leake) - 12:10 CDT (WGN)
