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

The Ricketts need to take a break on refurbishing Wrigley, and refurbish the team that plays in it 81 times a year. This team is such a damn joke.

 

Lou needs to be fired. Hendry needs to be fired. We need to get a bullpen. I'm sure there's much much more that needs to be done. I'm tired of waiting for this team.

[C.C.]

Unwatchable crap.

[A New Era]

stop waiting. I said back in April I don't like this team. Just look foward to the youth movement and hope Ricketts does the right thing and fires Hendry and Lou before the offseason starts.

Wait, why the blue hell do you want them to waste prospects/money on a bullpen this year?

Didn't read the thread so I don't know if this was mentioned, but Quade has been horrible at times this year.

 

Per ESPN:

 

Church was caught by surprise when the Cubs decided to test his arm.

 

"I don't know what they were doing," he said. "I'd take throwing out somebody over the hit. Right there, that ballgame is 3-2 so it was a big run. I saw it and was like 'OK thank you!' I love throwing."

 

Also, I hate to nitpick on the decision of a batter on one single pitch, but the cajun connection sure let us down in the ninth. Fontenot swung at the 2-1 pitch that looked (from the bleachers) low and away, when he should be looking to coax a walk. Then, Theriot takes the 1-1 fastball right down the pipe in a contact situation. This team doesn't seem to understand situational hitting. The mental mistakes are so aggravating.

 

Also, Dempster needs to stop walking people. That gets real old.

 

Finally, when are the breaks going to go the Cubs way? So many more hard-hit balls today for the Cubs, not to mention they outhit the opponent (again) and lost.

 

I hate this team.

Sending Aramis with Soriano coming up makes it especially stupid.

I never said that. Clearly said we need a bullpen.

They clearly need a lot of things before they start working on the bullpen, especially since you usually don't know what you're getting from a bullpen from year to year.
