5/15 Pirates (Maholm) @ Cubs (Dempster) – 12:05 PM CT, CSN

[E.J.]

Fake rally.

[Careless]

That swing at strike one and he still got a triple

[Keener98]

Fake rally

[A-Cal]

that was an awesome shift, thanks pirates!

[Keener98]

Watch Lou try a squeeze and us [expletive] it up

[E.J.]

Watch Lou try a squeeze and us [expletive] it up

 

There's at least a 90% chance of that happening.

[Old Style]

Fly ball to the OF, plz.

[illiniguy]

The one guy on the team I don't want up in this spot.

[davell]

Surely this is the low point.

 

Ooh, I doubt it. We've got 2 at home versus the Rockies, followed by 2 at Philly, 3 at Texas, 3 at home versus the Dodgers, 3 at home versus the Cards, and then travel to Pittsburgh for 3 to finish out the month and start June.

 

I think there's a damn good chance we're 10 games under .500 at the end of this month, if not worse than that.

[A-Cal]

I am surprised Quade didn't send Fukudome.

[Old Style]

The one guy on the team I don't want up in this spot.

Seriously?

[Keener98]

You piece of [expletive] Theriot, my God

[E.J.]

That was a surprising result. :-))

[Old Style]

:banghead:

[illiniguy]

Ryan Theriot is awful, I cannot wait until he is no longer on our team.

[illiniguy]

The one guy on the team I don't want up in this spot.

Seriously?

Yep.

[Fro]

byrd swinging at junk pitches now

[Keener98]

I love fake rallys

[A-Cal]

Cubs Lose!

 

:lol:

[E.J.]

0-5 against the Pirates. That's awesome.

[Keener98]

Hahahahahaha. Lets go for the sweep tomorrow boys! You can do it!

[Old Style]

The one guy on the team I don't want up in this spot.

Seriously?

Yep.

So you'd be OK with Hill at the plate in that spot? Or Aramis? Or Baker? Or Nady? And so on.

[illiniguy]

3 pages in the game thread. I really hope that attendance starts to drop off as well. This is ridiculous and changes need to be made big time.

[bcruise]

And with that, the Pirates have more wins than the Cubs. :pig:

The one guy on the team I don't want up in this spot.

Seriously?

Yep.

Not Hill, but those other guys in that spot yes. Theriot only hits lazy flyballs when no one is on base.
