This has the potential to get really fugly.

I am mentally prepared for my daily dose of frustrated baseball watchiness.

[erik316wttn]

Wow. Wellington Castro gets a start.

[Tryptamine]

This one could get pretty ugly.

[Tryptamine]

Yup, keep nibbling. Enjoy your one and only start Coleman.

[JonJayCutler]

Coleman and Diamond should not be anywhere near the rotation next year.

[soonercub]

Put me in the corner of not impressed with Diamond or Coleman's stuff. Potential bullpen candidates.

 

Someone please show Castillo how to give signs!!! Putting fingers to low and letting everyone in park know what is coming!

[Tryptamine]

A diving catch by 80 year old Matt Stairs to rob a run. If that doesn't say everything about this season......

Hey! Now some respect for the all time leading home-run hitter from Canada

I respected the curly mullet he adorned for about a decade.

You're a winner. Don't ever let anybody get you down.

It should read the all time leading Canadian home-run hitter

[hardcorecubfan]

I am shocked that there is a coaching visit so so in the game for the Cubs. :roll:

[BeerHere]

Coleman was brutal.

4.1IP

6 hits

3 walks

3ER

80 pitches

 

And the three runners currently on are his.

[BeerHere]

Berg is another guy that shouldn't be on this team. Bullpen has been a disaster all year. He's allowed 50 base runners in 33 innings this year.

 

edit: He did a decent job of getting out of that jam though.

 

Shutup BeerHere!

ok

[SouthSideRyan]

Did I miss why Jeff Baker is playing RF?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Did I miss why Jeff Baker is playing RF?

At this point, why the hell not? I wouldn't mind seeing Ivan DeJesus out there for a few innings.

[Tryptamine]

1 run over the last 15 innings. That's almost as impressive as losing to a team that had an entire 3 hits yesterday.

Yup, there seems to be a lot of guys that shouldn't be on this team. Cashner has been pretty bad of late too.

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeah, they should get rid of Cashner.

[erik316wttn]

Hooray for 1 page game threads.

This against the pure [expletive] (beyond Gonzalez) that is the Padre lineup that's pathetic. Even the Cubs who are now arguable the worst team in baseball have 27 more HR's and only 6 less runs than the Padres - they're going to get the crap kicked out of them in the playoffs.

[Sammy Sofa]

I think you're very confused. The Padres have a team that is playing well and the Cubs have a middle of the pack offense.
