06/30 Pittsburgh (Lincoln) @ CUBS (Gorzelanny) 1:20, WGN TV

[Ballgame64]

3 whole hits and no runs in 5 innings against a guy making his 5th major league start whose name is not Strasburg. In 2 1/2 games against the worst starting pitching staff money can buy, the Cubs have managed 4 runs. I guess they better find another scapegoat for the team's problems.

 

The important thing is they are loose and there's a whole new vibe now that Zambrano is gone.

They sure do give people plenty of ammo to make fun of them.

I thought that's how they were supposed to be after we got rid of Bradley.

That happened in the winter, giving them plenty of time to tightening up again before opening day.

[JoshiQ]

Great, they got a guy to sing Take Me Out to the Ballgame who is reading it off a teleprompter.

[jersey cubs fan]

Great, they got a guy to sing the National Anthem who is reading it off a teleprompter.

 

The president?

[coldsteel]

Kinda like Cameroon vs. Sri Lanka nil-nil draw for 2 hours except not as interesting.

[jersey cubs fan]

Ramirez with an 800 OPS in June. There was a time when I'd call that the low end of expectations.

Damn, somebody caught it before edit. That post never happened!

[jersey cubs fan]

I don't know how a team can struggle to hit with men on base when they have studs like Koyie Hill in the lineup who is clearly great with men on base.

[JoshiQ]

There's some of that "fun bad" stuff I was looking for.

[jersey cubs fan]

So, not that he sucks or anything, but how long until Cashner goes back down to AAA? Or how far out does the MLB team need to be before Cashner goes back to starting?

[coldsteel]

Liechtenstein SCORES vs. Nauru!!

[illiniguy]

Way to score runs guys. :yahoo:

Again with the negativity. This thing ain't over yet.

[CincyCubsFan]

Theriot with some sneaky power there...oops.

[Schwarber Fan]

AND LOU STILL HAS A JOB

[Prizefight]

4 runs in 3 games. Against the Pirates.

 

 

Awesome.

[Jake]

Theriot with some sneaky power there...oops.

 

lol!

 

And, go easy on Cashner - if that guy we traded to you catches the ball, the inning goes differently.

[YearofDaCubs]

I love it. I hope these clowns keep losing.

[RedFlash]

.........

[E.J.]

They lost to the Pirates again? Shut out no less. Pretty pathetic.

[lumafia]

So....Koyie Hill started again today? Is Soto hurt, or dead? Just so everybody knows (except for Lou, because he obviously doesn't know), the Cubs average 3.6 runs per game when Koyie Hill starts, and their winning % in those games is only .391. Didn't the Cubs just hire a stats guy to look into this stuff?

[champaignchris]

The Cubs have now become a bad Saturday Night Live skit...

 

"You got shut out by the Pirates again, Cubs. Really, Cubs. REALLY!"

"The Pirates are 9-3 against you, Cubs, and 18-48 against the rest of the league. Really. REALLY?!?!"

 

...and so on, ad nauseum.

[Cubswin11]

In the infamous words of Bob Brenly, "Dead Ass Team!"

[UMFan83]

I will now only refer to the Cubs as "the punchless Cubs" until further notice.
