Who will have the more pointless comment after the game, Lou or Lee?

Let's Go Blackhawks. Then it's sport coma time until Bourbonais.

 

I honestly feel that way. I just have no interest in this team. I almost want to but I can't. I don't know why either, but I just don't care either way what they do. Last year I would have been listening to the game while at work. This year, at about 2:30 I went to Chicago trib's website to read an article and noticed that the Cubs were playing a day game and said oh, I thought they were on the road.

When the team is underperforming across the board, you got to look one place, and that's in the dugout. Maybe our next call up from the minors should be Ryno...because our current manager seemingly can't get this team ready to play baseball.

 

If I've got 25 guys on my $146 million dollar payroll that can't psyche themselves up to play this game without a pep talk from a manager....... I'm firing 26 guys !!!

[Little Slide Rooter]

As Lou would say what can you do. You have aside from Marmol, we have 1 other good reliever in Sean Marshall, and Lou continuously ignores it. I dont know if anyone else caught Lous post game, but his sentiment is Zambrano is our 8th inning guy. Some reportwer asked what if he continues to struggly, Lous reponse was hes still our 8th inning guy. As long as Lou is our manager, were screwed. The guy has no clue.

How pathetic is it that we have a losing record and we've played teams like the Pirates, Nationals, Astros, and Diamondbacks? We haven't even played actual good teams yet. We'll be lucky if we win 70 games this year.

[TruffleShuffle]

haha the pirates' pythagorean win % coming into today was 8-26 and they just got done scoring 1 run in 3 games against the reds, including being shut out by the awful homer bailey. the cubs are so embarrassing.

With Lee and Aramis being terrible and Lou's screwy lineups the Cubs are little better, if at all, than those teams.

Let's not forget that the Brewers beat up these Pirates something like 36-1, and the Brewers have a pretty bad pitching staff. Sad thing is the Pirates have outscore the Cubs 28-11.

Talent wise, The Cubs are worlds ahead of those teams, they're just grossly mismanaged.. When you have Soriano, Soto, Kosuke, and Byrd, OPSing well over .900, as well as Castro and Colvin in limited appearences, but he has Lee, Ramirez, and Nady in the heart of the lineup, with Lee OPSing under .700 and the other 2 around the .600 mark. Also, your 1 good reliever other than your closer is grossly misused, and he wonders why these other corn holes keep blowing games. Right now, this teams failure can be blamed mostly on Lou. Trey Hillman gets fired with a joke of ateam, but Lou is grossly mishandling a $140million dollar team, and they wont consider sending him on his way.

 

If we sent out a lineup everyday of

 

Kosuke

Castro

Byrd

Soto

Soriano

Lee

Ramirez

Theriot/Fontenot

P

 

wed be winning a lot more games. When Lee and Ramirez start hitting consistantly, they can be moved back towar the middle.

Lay off the hash.

Let's hope that's bad enough to start over with a new GM and manager next year.
