Just logged on and I see it's the 8th inning and there are 4 pages of game thread.

 

You'd think this was spring training.

 

This site will be dead all year (relatively speaking)

Wood with a really nice start to the inning.

I'm guessing most would say that latter, but there are probably some that think that its not necessary to become historically futile and an even bigger laughing stock around baseball along the way to long term improvement.

 

Um, only some? What idiot would think you had to be really bad this year in order to facilitate longterm improvement?

Byrd is [expletive] garbage. Get rid of him before his stock plummets like Jared Sullingers and play Campana or call up Jackson

There are so many things wrong with this post, I don't know where to start.

I know it's an overreaction, it's 6 games into the season that I knew was going to be horrible, and I'm already losing it

Oh, Byrd being garbage was probably the most right thing. However...

 

1) His stock is currently very low, there's nowhere for it to go.

2) Jared Sullinger is a top 10 draft prospect for the NBA, and some mocks have him going as high as 6th. That's not plummeting.

3) Campana isn't on the roster, he'd need to be called up.

4) Jackson has things to work on in AAA and there's no reason to start the arby clock, so he won't be called up, despite what WSR constantly believes.

Wood tried to get Ramirez to chase a curve low and away. Not always a bad option.

Someone needs to tell Dewitt that you have to be good at your job to sport a beard that full. He's making a mockery of it.

 

Full beards are the new ironic mustaches.

 

People with them are terrible.

No those people are still awful.

I'm averaging a post per 1 minute since I've logged in - doing my part to get the post count up.

 

Of course if you're a quality over quantity guy I'm not helping much at this point.

In no way is Sullinger going 6th and he won't be top 10 either

Nice inning from Wood. 3K's

[bukie]

Wood strikes out the side in the 8th. Silver linings.

 

Hard to blame the majority of the pitching to this point this year. We knew the offense would struggle to hit for power, and it has. Mostly, the Cubs need to work the count a little more and try to draw a few more free passes. DeJesus, Baker and LaHair actually leading the way in that department.

Funniest part of this entire game thread.

I most certainly am a quality over quantity guy.

 

The top of our lineup being up should be exciting, but it's not. Our entire lineup is just one, undifferentiated mass of bad.

DeJesus has been about as expected. Castro is struggling a bit early on, and who knows what Soriano is capable of at this point? I hate to say it, but the Cubs would probably be best served tossing LaHair in at cleanup and playing him every day.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

So many empty seats.

[erik316wttn]

I'm so glad that bunting tourney in ST paid dividends.

[Smack]

Come on Soriano, for the love of God hit a homerun.

[SouthSideRyan]

So many empty seats.

 

It is a Wednesday afternoon in April.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Castro needs to try to steal second here.

[Guest]

Come on KRod. Hang a curve.
