our two best defensive players just collided and injured each other to turn a caught blooper into a go-ahead, two out triple

Go cubs go

[mul21]

Now if they'd just given Castro the night off and had Barney at SS and somebody with less range at 2nd, that play never happens.

Then it sound like the injury delay on game day isn't Castro or Samardzjia, so I don't care.

.... and if frogs just had wings, they wouldn't bump their little butts on the ground !!!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Now that I've taken my first look at the Cub's lineup, it's no exaggeration that it is the single worst that I've ever seen. And I'm talking ever.

Hey, at least mine isn't in fantasy land! :wink:

I'm sure I could find a post-clinch lineup from '08 that is worse, along with tons of lineups from '06 in about 5 minutes but why bother?

If my wife had balls, the GOP would have opposed our marriage.

Barney hurt himself mildly by knocking the ball out of DJ's glove.

Now wait a minute...... Castro has started every game this year..... ergo Barney hasn't started a game at SS..... and the CUBS don't have a 2b with less range than Barney.... but, yes, you're well grounded in reality !! :wink:

 

 

btw.... greetings from Maryland Heights !!

You're opening up the door to a whole lot of really ugly retorts.... let's don't go there, eh?

Say what you will about the '06 team, but they had 4 regulars: A Ram, Jones, Murton, and Barrett with OPS well above .800. We have one, and he's out of the lineup.

I can't breathe life into the Cubs, but maybe I can into the game thread.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Suddenly, I have a whole lot more empathy for fans of the '62 Mets. [sigh]

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 11-6 when they get at least 8 hits .... 4-22 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Careless]

When bob said "or in front of is parents" he should have kept going with a list of other ways Hill hasn't homered.

 

Edit: he's never homered on a pitch he swung at that bounced well in front of the plate.

[UMFan83]

Does Koyie Hill have any hitting ability at all? How about plate discipline? They were trying to pitch around him and he swung at 4 straight pitches, all of them balls and a couple way outside. It looked like he was closing his eyes and swinging, begging for something good to happen.

[Little Slide Rooter]

There was 0 doubt in my mind that the leadoff double would not leave the comfort of 2nd base.

You do realize that the CUBS acquired him off the roster of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, right ???

Well your mind was wrong because he made it to 3rd.

[Careless]

Podsednik started for the red sox and homered? Wtf?

The leadoff double took third on Barney's groundout to short.

[TruffleShuffle]

still don't know who jd martinez is.

[SouthSideRyan]

Wow, Cubs fans are much more attractive in Chicago.
