6/25 Cubs (Lackey) @ Marlins (Clemens) 3:10 CDT WGN

[Sammy Sofa]

Counterproductive as it is, Lackey is the one Cub where I get a perverse thrill when he sucks. Everything feels right with the universe.

[soccer10k]

The last couple innings have been extremely annoying.

[Tim]

I never would have guessed that Bour would become such a threat at the plate.

[Thusly Boned]

Okay, now Bour is annoying me.

[UMFan83]

I can't wait until a week from now when we are pounding the Mets and are laughing about how bad we looked a week ago

[Little Slide Rooter]

Cubs pitching is single handedly prolonging Justin Bour's inevitable relocation to Japan.

[UMFan83]

Lackeys era goes up a half run today lol

That's heroin to the forehead-talk.

I'm blaming Coomer by the way. Really bad things tend to happen when he calls the 5th.

You turned the game off for 5 minutes?

Oh its off, I'm just assigning blame

[Little Slide Rooter]

Go Mariners.

[Thusly Boned]

I blame the bullpen. Joe probably pulls Lackey earlier if he has any confidence in middle relief. This stretch is largely an aberration, but the bullpen needs to be addressed.

He has barely seen 3 of them pitch. His lack of confidence is more from Edwards, Concepcion and Patton not being in the majors that long rather than him actually throwing them out there to see them struggle.

GIDPHeyward

[Schwarber Fan]

Heyward sucks. Bat him 9th.

[Derwood]

Heyward is going to get the "4-3" nickname.

[Andy]

I'm really sick of Heyward getting the most ABs.

[Agony and Ivy]

It's time to drop Heyward in the lineup.

Obviously, but that's part of the problem. We need more known, stable quantities in the bullpen, especially with Grimm being terrible.

[Sammys Boombox]

The Cubs are just putting all the annoying games for the season into one week to get them out of the way, right? Right?!?!

 

Even yesterday was annoying (for a win).

Time for some Contreras heroics.

He's had it for a while, just not from us. If he's going to be batting with runners on a lot, those runners are going to have be sent much more often. The frequency with which he hits hard grounders almost demands it.

Missed you Rizzo
