05/25 Mets (Gee) @ Cobs (Coleman) 7:05 pm CDT, CSN

[ctcf]

Well I guess I made it. Yay or something. I have no clue who the heck this Gee guy is although writers of cheesy headlines must love that guy. Yay for our AAAA filled offense!

[Little Slide Rooter]

The Cubs have scored 9 runs or more 5 times this season. Each time, they lost the next game. They scored 1 run or less in 4 of those games. Lets buck that little trend. Cubs up, Gee down.

Doubt this one gets played today

[jersey cubs fan]

There are few things more enjoyable than seeing NY sports sections the morning after their teams lose to a Chicago team.

[weis21]

Cubs up, Gee down.

 

This was actually pretty clever.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Cubs up, Gee down.

 

This was actually pretty clever.

I have my moments here and there.

[pitchcs]

Fukudome RF

Barney 2B

Castro SS

Ramirez 3B

Pena 1B

Johnson CF

Soriano LF

Castillo C

Coleman P

[Schwarber Fan]

looking at the radar... let's pray we're ahead after 5

[Friendly Confines]

Fukudome RF

Barney 2B

Castro SS

Ramirez 3B

Pena 1B

Johnson CF

Soriano LF

Castillo C

Coleman P

 

about as good as we could hope for, with flipping reed and soriano the only possibility. Soriano seems to have cooled off a lot lately though.

[Friendly Confines]

4-1 cubs if anyone is watching :-)

[Yeti]

i think everyone is hiding in their basements

[SouthSideRyan]

I've been really down on Quade, but I have to give him credit for getting pitchers warmed up already with the expectation that this is going 5-6 innings.

[Tryptamine]

Coleman is just god awful. I'm glad he keeps getting shoved down our throats.

[illiniguy]

Coleman is just god awful. I'm glad he keeps getting shoved down our throats.

He's a third generation superstar.

[NotSoSober]

Can we end the experiment of the "poor mans" Greg Maddux now

[Tryptamine]

What is Justin Berg's appeal? He can't strike people out and apparently he can't locate a pitch. The guy has never been good at any level and yet he some how made it to the majors. 8 straight balls, please just out right release him.

[woodchip2153]

ugh.

 

when is the rain supposed to get there?

[NotSoSober]

ugh.

 

when is the rain supposed to get there?

Not soon enough, 11 straight balls, though a couple were questionable

[haubrich91]

This is so bad. Our pitching absolutely sucks.

[NotSoSober]

Best relief appearance ever

[illiniguy]

Hendry has put together a hell of a team. He deserves another 5 years to get this right.

[Tryptamine]

please release Berg immediately following the game.

[MADD_DOG_31]

RELEASE COLEMAN AND BERG NOW

 

if we dont have anything better than these bums in the minors we have the worst system in the history of baseball

[NotSoSober]

Is it a bad thing when you see James Russell playing about as much as Starlin Castro?
