5/31 Cubs (Wells) @ Pirates (Ohlendorf) 12:35 WGNTV

Yes!!!! I'd say that's as close to a productive ab as Ramirez is going to get.

[Soul]

Gawd

[Careless]

I want to point out again that the Cubs are +6 in runs scored/allowed against teams other than the Pirates and the Pirates are -149 against teams other than the Cubs. Their average game against other teams sees them losing by 3.3 runs

[BigSlick]

Aramis Ramirez has officially dropped FOUR HUNDRED POINTS off his OPS from the last like 5 years

[Garwilly]

Cashner debut

[BigSlick]

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahh

 

Come on Cedeno, put in the dagger

[Ram1380]

Cmon Ca$h....silver lining please.

[Ballgame64]

Am I the only one who finds great pleasure in watching left handed hitters from other teams get key hits against Cubs left handed pitchers? I can't stand how Lou treats his left handed hitters, regardless of how many times average left handed hitters get hits against his lefties.

[SouthSideRyan]

That's not how I pictured him.

[MWV]

Let's get Cashner his first ML victory.

[BigSlick]

this is how you're gonna introduce Cashner, in a one run game with runners on?

 

I feel bad for the guy

I have absolutely no problem with him platooning players that have shown extreme platoon splits, we've gotten the best production out of both Fontenot and Fukudome this way

 

so yeah, i don't

Cashner laughs at MLB.

[A-Cal]

Starlin Castro and Andrew Cashner. I like the debut action baby!

[muntjack]

Well at least we have the real heart of the order coming up.....

[MWV]

Cashner is presently in the 4 spot. Can't be worse than Aramis.

[Garwilly]

Dotel made it fun last time.

[Ram1380]

Could someone please post an in depth and comprehensive breakdown of Ca$hners debut?

 

 

 

 

:P

[SouthSideRyan]

Tyler Colvin is on deck to pinch hit for Geo. Unbelievable

[jb10194]

He's a career .258 hitter in the minors

[Tryptamine]

GJ Sori, that wasn't even close to the plate.

[UMFan83]

I am looking at the team stats, and I have no idea why this team is so poor offensively. Slightly worse than average sure, but this team looks awful out there at times. 3 hit by the Pirates?

[A-Cal]

Someone tell Castro to stop eating rocks.

[Ballgame64]

What was the purpose of Xavier Nady pinch hitting against a right handed pitcher? If the Cubs lose 3 straight to this team again, Piniella better be fired. If not, Ricketts and his family will have a big F on their report card for this year. Yeah Tom, lets worry about bathrooms, Toyota signs and buying a rooftop. Does he realize the only "tradition" of Wrigley Field is one of losing?

 

What the hell is Ricketts going to do?

 

Also just so you know, Ricketts didn't have to choose between fixing the bathrooms or spending more money on the team. He is the owner, so he has to worry about all areas of the team even if winning is his #1 priority.

When there are so many problems with the product on the field, he looks like an idiot constantly worrying about the ballpark and the "fan experience." Winning cures all. Cub fans need to treat this organization like the Blackhawk fans treated it...quit going to games, quit buying merchandise and quit watching/listening.

 

As a fan, I am sick of hearing Ricketts talk about winning yet nothing changes in relation to the baseball operations. Piniella should be fired today. You can't fire 25 players, but Lou can go. Again, one run in 4 of the last 5 games and he basically does nothing to shake things up.

[Magnetic Curses]

haha cue shot theriot

[SouthSideRyan]

Just seems like a better allocation of resources would be to have Colvin hitting here rather than Shitty McSingles
