08/03 Milwaukee (Narveson) @ CUBS (Diamond) 7:05 CDT, CSN TV

[thefranchise]

If Diamond can harness his control a little better, he's got potential to be a good 4th or 5th starter. I've seen him once in spring training and tonight and he's got some good stuff still but he has trouble locating his pitches.

[Careless]

He's pretty good at that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

If Byrd looks half as good as Pat Hughes makes him sound..... he's HOF material !!!

[Sammy Sofa]

Byrd deserves his own Web Gem reel.

[coldsteel]

CUBS are 0-35 when they trail by 2 runs or more at the end of the 7th inning

 

Whoa. That really is something.

[shnsajax]

Solid 1st start from Tom Diamond: 6IP 7H 3R 3BB 10K.

I'm somewhat shocked that Lou allowed him to throw 122 pitches, though.

 

That type of abuse is why Prior is on the Orange County Flyers.

 

Man, imagine the Texas rotation if they kept DVD. (Danks-Volquez-Diamond)

 

Imagine the Texas lineup with Josh Hamilton.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Give me an F

Give me an A

Give me an K

Give me an E

 

Give me an R

Give me an A

Give me an L

Give me an L

Give me an Y

 

What'd'ya got ???

 

Go CUBS, Go !!!

[Careless]

4 straight balls, Soriano. make that 5.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-37 when they trail by 2 runs or more at the end of the 8th inning

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Jim Hendry sure has gathered together one pathetic band of would be ball players.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS pitchers got 12 Ks in a game.... Fri 16 Jul 10 (14 Ks) in a 4-3 win over Philadelphia at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Yeah, they should get rid of all of them. Not a one of them is useful at all. Not a single one. None.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Well.... we're 16 runs better than yesterday, eh?

[TruffleShuffle]

2-4 with a walk for starlin... i consider this game a success.

[GvilleCub]

I wish Castro could play all 9 positions. Maybe he could be cloned, sort of like Michael Keaton was in Multiplicities. On days Dempster is supposed to pitch, he can pitch too...

There plenty useful, just not when to comes to winning baseball games.

Thats exactly what I did. I was like holy [expletive] he/she is making a post without mentioning Dempster, and then BAM there it is lol. Its hilarious

[erik316wttn]

2-4 with a walk for starlin... i consider this game a success.

 

He's one of the few bright spots in this current black hole of suck.

[SouthSideRyan]

I'm more offended that he got the name of the movie wrong.

Holy missing the entire [expletive] point, Batman!

[Sammy Sofa]

This isn't your battle, Gigantor. Power down.

[NCCubFan]

Cubs are undefeated in games started by Thomas Diamond. :D

So much for that. :(
