4/3: 1:20PM CT WGN Pirates (Ohlendorf) @ Cubs (Garza)

[Guest]

Can we drop Byrd in the order, please.

[Rob]

Wonderful.

[Sammy Sofa]

That is a BS loss.

 

Oh yeah. Steeped in horse manure.

[weis21]

Barney and Byrd at 2 and 3 = epic fail.

 

wow, what a frustrating game.

[erik316wttn]

Of course.

 

Because why wouldn't he do that there?

[J.R.]

What a goddamned waste.

[witty alias]

That was a terrible pitch to swing at. How long does Byrd stay in the 3 spot?

[InconspicuousZ28]

You know what, a double play here would be so fitting for the Cubs.

Why would you say something like that? Honestly.

 

Because it was exactly what was on most of our minds, I bet.

[Ski]

Why do I put myself through this [expletive] every year? About a billion things went perfectly wrong for us to lose that game.

[cardslesson101]

It's the Pirates. Now watch them give up a 2 HR.

[Sammy Sofa]

Of course.

 

Because why wouldn't he do that there?

 

Because he's a limited, overly aggressive hitter that has no business hitting 3-5 on a team that has Aramis, Pena and Soto.

[mookie]

jesus, what a frustrating loss

 

quade can still stay in my good graces, but he needs to make some adjustments and fast

[Magnetic Curses]

i've been saying it since spring training, why is byrd hitting 3rd?

 

but anyway, more excellent luck by the pirates in this game and general cubs luck as well.

Nope.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Marlon Byrd has wasted no time proving right all the people who said he has no business in the 3 spot.

[ChiCubsFan]

I want to like you Quade, but you're making it awfully hard.

[b_wiggy_66]

What a horrible way to lose. Especially to the damn Pirates again.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Yeah, I'm over Marlon Byrd. Go away.

[MWV]

I'm sure this has been restated myriad ways throughout this thread, but it would be nice to have a couple of decent hitters behind Castro rather than Barney and Byrd.

[inari]

That was a terrible pitch to swing at. How long does Byrd stay in the 3 spot?

 

Every single game he plays in, I'd guess.

[erik316wttn]

Why would you say something like that? Honestly.

 

Um.... maybe because they're the Cubs?

 

Stupid BS loss today. Grrr. I have forgotten what it feels like to be over. 500. And the Dbacks always give us fits. I hope Wells and Cashner step up and have good starts.

[rocket]

i can see that marlon byrd is going to be on my enemies list this year

[NotSoSober]

I want to like you Quade, but you're making it awfully hard.

[Garwilly]

Usually doesn't happen after the game is over.

There is a huge gigantic difference between thinking something and saying something, and if it is something we are all thinking already, its not really adding to the convo is it?
