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

[Roast]

I'm scared.

 

I just laughed. Literally laughed out loud at how horrible we are. I am making fun of this team. This is scaring me. I never thought i was capable. i hate the cobs.

[OleMissCub]

holy god, of course the rookie hits a bomb

[E.J.]

Nothing like giving up a homerun to a guy who just got called up today. Cubs are a joke.

[Flames24Rulz]

this team absolutely sucks.

 

Can we please fire Baker right after this game?

[XZero771679666304]

In my 20 years of being a Cubs fan, I have NEVER before wanted the Cubs to lose.

 

Having said that, a good 15 game losing streak may be the best thing - for the 2006 Cubs.

 

Only if that 15 game losing streak is the result of Dusty getting the axe.

 

That's the idea. Relatively speaking, this is as health as the Cubs have been all year, and they are playing the worst baseball of the season. If DLee comes back and the Cubs continue to play this horribly, Dusty will have no excuses to fall back on. He will be fired, the chaff will be cut loose, kids will play, and we will be better off next year.

hahahahahaha

 

on the plus side, ive always liked francouer at least.

[otis89]

I wonder how diffferent this inning would be if we had actually brought in a decent pitcher instead of Roberto Novoa?

[sonicdethmonkey0]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

goodbye cruel world

[Roast]

Hahaha. We are so horrible.

"What a horrible pitch" - Bob Brenly

 

I've just received word that Kent Mercker has placed a call from the visitors' clubhouse at SBC Park to the WGN broadcast booth at Turner Field to complain about Brenley's treatment of the Cubs' players.

[OleMissCub]

hahahahahaha

 

on the plus side, ive always liked francouer at least.

me too, he plays for my hometown team, the Mississippi Braves. Nice guy.

Novoa's ERA coming into tonight was around 2.50. Glendon Rusch is getting rocked as well. I hate to say it, but I'd trade him..he's the odd man out in the rotation and he's not nearly as good of a bullpen pitcher as he is as a starter.

 

and Dusty making a double switch in the 8th inning, down by 4. Very smart tough guy.

[OldHappyCubFan]

Cubs have hit a new low. I'm happy. I want this team to cut the losers who don't do anything to help.

 

You just don't use Novoa in a close game. You just don't use Macias to play a position when you NEED a win. Byebye Dusty.

[Derwood]

What's the over/under on the Cubs being in 4th place by the break?

I know he threw the meatball on a 0-2 count, but shouldn't Barrett or mgmt get some of the blame for calling for that pitch?

[Brian]

HEY GUYS AT LEAST WE HAD A LEAD, AT LEAST WE SCORED :roll:

[Moller1679666555]

- R. Langerhans ran for A. LaRoche

 

KRAMER: Oh, hey,

 

ELAINE: Oh, hi. This is Hal. Hal, this is Kramer. Kramer, Hal.

 

KRAMER: Hal, .. uh Langerhans.

 

HAL: Kitzmiller.

 

KRAMER: Oh, Kitzmiller. That's right

 

ELAINE: You feeling jiff?

 

KRAMER: Oh, I'm jiff.

 

 

 

Made me laugh anyway.

[XZero771679666304]

This team has to be broken. This last week has been totally demoralizing. Dusty and Hendy will try and wax positive, but this ship is on the way down. I just hope the captain goes with.

I don't care what Novoa's ERA. So he had a few good outings. He's really done nothing to prove he's more than a Triple-AAA pitcher. You use someone good like Michael Wuertz in a pressure situation where you have to get someone out.

Novoa isn't any good, though. I have been saying this since he got called up. Him missing by that much isn't a one time thing. It happens all of the time. He should really be sent down to work on his command.

That's not where Barrett set up to catch it.

hey i thought Hairston couldn't play LF dude.

Novoa's ERA is deceiving. It's small sample size, plus look at all the walks.

[Brian]

OH NO, JERRY IS GOING TO MAKE 12 ERRORS, LEFT IS TOO HARD FOR HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

 

 

or is that just Left at Wrigley in Dusty logic???

[Roast]

Dusty knows he's getting fired soon. He is just letting it all hang out.
