I love having Cashner up and not using him. Makes a lot of sense.

[SouthSideRyan]

I'm really [expletive] sick of the Pirates

[Careless]

Cobs.

Watching this team is akin to stabbing yourself in the eyeballs.

erik, N&G,

 

This is a really interesting discussion you're having, but it has absolutley nothing to do with tonight's game. If you want to pursue it further, CUBS Discussions Forum would be a real good place.

 

Thanx.

 

What? It's a tangent from the game and it's a discussion about the Cubs. Are the game threads only going to consist of updates as to what happens in the game?

fred, the game threads are 75 percent your updates. why try to quell actual discussion

[illiniguy]

Man we had an offensive explosion today too.

[Careless]

I really want to know: does he mean "step on their throat" or do they really say "step on their neck"?

[J.R.]

This site needs all the posts it can get.

Good point. From now on, I'm going to encourage actual discussion.

 

Would you like to start ?

Ok, you know something is going on when even imb is on my side.

Yeah I know, we should have spread those runs out a little bit. Those 2 runs could have got us 2 wins against a lesser team!

The Jelly bean is neither made of jelly nor is it a bean. Discuss.

[Sammys Boombox]

I hate everything about this team.

I've been for firing Jim Hendry since like 2 years ago. Maybe we could hire someone who understands how to use $140 million to make an above .500 type team.

So Lou gets Marmol up in case Lilly gets in trouble. Yet with a runner on 1st and two right handed hitters coming up, Lilly is allowed to stay in the game to give up a 2 run homer. Another brilliant move by Lou. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is really getting fun.

[Soul]

Who else saw Lou shrug in the dugout after that homer?

 

Lilly pitches a solid game, I leave him in just long enough to fail. Then I pull him.

 

Oh well, guess that's just the way it is.

 

 

God someone please put dead Lou out of his misery

He's daring Jim to fire him. jimmy doesn't have the stones to do it though.

At least we got to throw a pitch into Milling's head

According to Bruce Levine on Waddle & Silvey this morning, he thinks Hendry has done a good job and isn't going anywhere. He said that a lot of the fault lies with Sam Zell and the Tribune Company pushing him to spend money to drive the value of the team up. Yep, he really said that...
