5/19 sox (Danks) @ Cubs (Dempster) FOX 6:15 PM

I would consider this season a success if we can get all the way through it without being no hit.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Seriously though, Starlin is on pace for 16 walks this year. That's just disturbing.

 

Exactly. He's obviously our best player and favorite player. And at 22, he's so far ahead of where he should be. But if he never develops a willingness to take walks, he will never reach his full potential. I don't care much if he hits .300 every year if he sports a 330 on-base percentage.

The time the Cubs offense has spent on the field compared to the White Sox in this game has to be ridiculous.

Thank God we have Ray Lewis behind the plate, intimidating the opposing hitters and keeping our defense fresh and psyched up.

[Schwarber Fan]

well, at least the no-no is over... but nice fake rally

[chuckywang]

I wonder how many K's LaHair has in the last 5 games.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-8 when they steal a base.... 5-16 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Hawk4Hall]

Jeff Baker and Reed Johnson are vets the Cubs could easily not miss. The only problem is there isn't much in the minors to replace them right now.

[Fred Hornkohl]

After going 23 games (12-11) without allowing multiple HRs in a game, the CUBS have now surrendered 2 HRs in 4 of their last 5 games (0-4 and counting).

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[BeerHere]

Oh look, Dempster showing up small again. That never happens.

 

Lord knows what this even means.

That means he is at his worst when his team needs a W the most. See playoffs, Dodgers. This game, etc.

 

1st game of a playoff series, random game in May for a last place team. Same thing.

No you're right. All games are the same.

[Schwarber Fan]

joke team is a joke

 

LaHair's about to plummet to the earth too

[Rizzo Smash]

Jeff Baker is 2-14 against lefties this season. What is his use?

Yes, the Cubs entire season was resting on this one game.

[haubrich91]

I'm so glad we're making Danks look better than he actually is.

C'mon now, if Dempster can't keep his ERA at or under 1.00 then he is just stealing the Cubs money.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS were held to 3 hits in a game.... Wed 16 May 2012 in a 9-2 loss to Philadelphia at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

The next time you do your awful, "why is everyone picking on me" schtick remember that you post things like this.

It is really shame that Dempster's crappy outing has wasted such a tremendous showing by the Cubs offense.

He just can't handle the pressure of the big games, man.

[Schwarber Fan]

yes Thom, new skipper knows what he's doing

 

Rick Ankiel could get this lineup out

Dude is going to be 0-2 now, he just doesn't know how to win.
