The Castro is a lazy buffon thing is really getting out there. From the Brewerfan.net message board from the game last night

 

I'm not sure if it was mentioned on TV at all last night but after a Brewer struck in the second or third inning, Vitters threw the ball into right field while they were throwing it around. I think the reason the throw was so bad was because Starlin had his head in the clouds and was staring off somewhere into center field and Josh didn't want to hit him with it. I wonder if he might have ADHD or something. It seems impossible for a professional ballplayer to do as many stupid things as he does.

 

I didn't watch the whole game and didn't see a ball end up in RF after Vitters throwing it. I think the 3B usually throws the ball to 2B after getting it after a strikeout. Either way there are plenty of professional players that do stupid things and Castro isn't doing them at any higher rate than a lot of guys. Jesus.

Carlos Gomez forgot the outs last night.

Let's hope we can put some distance between us and Colorado for that #2 pick.

Let's hope we can put some distance between us and Colorado for that #2 pick.

There's still 6 games against the Astros left, figure out a way to lose all 6 (sit Castro/Rizzo/Soriano and call up Lopez and go with a Rusin/Raley/Lopez/Germano/Volstad rotation to end the year) and we could get the #1 pick :oldbluekoolaid:

Manager for life.

[Cubswin11]

Can't wait for Sullivan's article killing Sveum for this and somehow putting the blame on Castro

[davell]

That's phenomenal.

[Epsteenie]

WTF was that Starlin?

[Guest]

Sullivan is just taking it on the chin today.

 

@ESPNChiCubs It's always a good day when the Chorizo wins the sausage race. #bienamigo

 

@PWSullivan Hey @ESPNChiCubs No cheering in the press box, even for the Chorizo.

 

@ESPNChiCubs Hey @PWSullivan stop asking for a Lil' Smokies entry.

yeesh, 1 GO : 11 FO for Wood

[Fred Hornkohl]

Gift outs on the base paths are always graciously accepted.

[Schwarber Fan]

I bet Bryan LaHair will be a Brewer at some point. That's at least 3 HRs against them this year and 2 in this ballpark.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-68 (.042) when they trail at the end of the 8th inning.... 44-6 (.880) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

Rizzo's season OPS down to .791 :(

 

.260/.314/.377/.691 in his last 39 games

[Fred Hornkohl]

The CUBS have scored in the 9th inning in 4 of their last 5 games.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Let's hope for the Rockies, Twins, and Astros to win tonight, I guess..... Edited August 22, 2012 by Cubswin11

[squally1313]

This has been a really rough patch. Castro and Rizzo not doing much, Vitters and Jackson not showing much of anything so far. Tough to watch, aside from the top 2 pick we might be getting.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I totally understand and respect Hoyerstein's plans to build for the future. I just hope that the future arrives sooner than later.

[DiamondMind]

tough to watch
