7/7 Gm 2 Cubs (Williams) @ Braves (Smoltz) 6:35 PM, WGN

[E.J.]

Glad we could waste that out with Neifi coming up. :x

[XZero771679666304]

Neifi Perez is my hero! :roll:

[frostwyrm]

0-7 on the day for Neifi.

[Flames24Rulz]

well it was fun while it lasted.

[E.J.]

1 inning. That's the best we could do. Stupid Cubs.

[XZero771679666304]

Even the cheapies are falling.

 

Well, if the Cubs are going to tank, they should do it good and proper.

[J.R.]

This one ain't bothering me; every loss brings Dusty closer to an extended fishing trip.

[E.J.]

Macias has 2 hits. :shock: :shock:

I hate so say it, but I'm with you, J.R.. I almost want them to lose.

[Flames24Rulz]

Burny absoultely demolished that thing...just got out a little in front though.

2003 HR derby is over, Cubs have the lead.

Glory Days.

Yeah, they'll pass you by.

Glory Days.

Everyone be sure to check the announcement at the top of Baseball Discussions or the Minor League Forum (It's the same announcement in both forums)

I swear Burnitz has hit about 15 long homers in the past week. Too bad all of them were just foul. :x

[Omar]

Nice to see we could win without Lee..

[Flames24Rulz]

and the team sinks to a new low as they see a grand total of 3, yes 3, pitches that inning.

[JeffH]

Three pitches, three outs for the Cubs in the seventh.

 

Fire Dusty!

Fire Dusty!

 

The Braves announcers were saying you'd think the Cubs would at least take a pitch with Smoltz struggling with the pitch count. They noted we were playing into Smoltz's hands by not taking any pitches. If they can see it, how come Dusty and Clines can't?

They are cognitively challenged.

[cjbucks]

My theory is that all the other teams are doing the " hey bata bata swing bata bata!!" and every time they yell swing the Cubs do it. :?

Maybe we get them some ear plugs and everything will be fine.

[PackLandVA]

Just curious....I know in HS, the coach would give the "take" sign. Do they do it in the bigs???? I mean, you'd think the coaches AND players would know to work the count and get his pitch count up. Do the players really need to be told this???? And if so, who's to say they'll listen?

[Flames24Rulz]

Ohman works a good 7th. Cmon, lets win a game.
