...and Cliff Lee singles up the middle

Samardzija's pitch count is going to be a problem. I don't think he's getting into the 7th if he doesn't get better.

 

Edit: DP on the next pitch after I posted probably helps.

Wow, that's different!

we should do that more often

Nothing like a DP to help the cause

Ryan Howard is almost impossibly unathletic.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

rally killed

[gscool89]

Holy [expletive] this might be the worst offense in MLB history.

He barely made an attempt - they could've turned 2

[d_money]

OMG - Kelly Crull looks rough

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That would have been a pretty good play if he'd caught it. Or at least realized that he hadn't caught it.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Olt never touched 3b. That'd be overturned if they had challenged.

[d_money]

Howard blows defensively

[sneakypower]

crazy speed by Lake

That's not even close to the plate and didn't even hit his spot. Samardzija would have like 15 fewer pitches if he were getting that corner.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Castillo sucks, Castro sucks, Olt sucks, our entire outfield sucks, Barney sucks at hitting, Lake sucks but continues his magical ability to get good results despite his sucking, and Rizzo is kinda average.

It's a conspiracy, I tell ya !

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Castro handled that throw in the manner of a man who had never before considered the possibility that a baseball might be thrown at him.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Yeah, this team is totally unwatchable right now.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Darwin Barney has a knack for being exactly as slow as he needs to be.

Kyle, I have no idea why imb thought it was a good thing that you weren't able to make it to this game, but it wasn't.

This is my game thread. I will not let it go down without at least three pages of posts.

Bonifacio has 13 hits this year, will Barney have that by June?

Bonny playing like he wants to be part of the "core". Dude, get out of town while you can.

I'm irrationally convinced that Epstein and Hoyer packed the team with guys in jobs a step above their abilities just to make sure there's no revolt about how bad the team is. Bonifacio's not going to complain because he's getting 500 PAs when he'd be lucky to get 200 anywhere else. Veras gets to rack up saves. Ruggiano's just happy to be in the bigs.
