7/27 Giants (Tomko) @ Cubs (Zambrano) 1:20 CST WGN

[jyoung55]

Gross Misuse of Z. And why did Dusty even send batters to the plate the bottom of the 7th? Z and then macias... instead of a pinch hitter... wow. Might as well not sent anyone out there.

[Coach C]

DADGUM IT!!

[otis89]

Now the Giants take the lead. Great idea to leave Zambrano in.

[OldHappyCubFan]

#$#@$@#$ Dusty Baker.

 

I just simply cannot believe this crap we're witnessing.

[Brian]

DUSTY COMING IN JUST A LITTLE TO LATE AGAIN

[YearofDaCubs]

And our inability to score runs from 3rd just cost us the game.

[Omar]

3-2 Giants.

 

GREAT!!

 

JUST GREAT!! I knew Z should've been taken out after the 7th.

[eburgcub]

:x great management job there. @@#@ #@@# @#@#@

[LoneStarCubFan]

#### you Dusty.

 

How many more games you going to throw before your gambling debt is paid off?

[illiniguy]

Just stoppin in to say what a GREAT move it was to leave Zambrano in for the 8th inning.. after 112 pitches.. :roll:

I hate Dusty Baker. This is just another game he will chalk up to bad luck, where just having a normal manager probably gets you a win. lost 2 out of 3 at home to a giants team without alou, bonds, or durham. oh yeah we are a playoff team.

[louisvillecub]

Absolutely horrendous managing by Baker.... :evil:

I think you have to blame some of the worst in-game managing you will ever see if we lose this one.

Dusty is trying to give these games to SF. He still has a soft spot in his heart for the team. Why else would you start holly, who has fared poorly against Tomko, instead of a red hot Murton and leave Z in to bat after 112 pitches and take the mound in the 8th.

 

Dusty always goes against normal managerial reasoning and it never works out for us.

[badger1679666666]

I simply cannot understand the total stupidity of Dusty Baker.

[ZZ Thorn]

Man, we have to come back in all 3 games vs. the Giants? This was not the steamrolling I hoped for. What happened to the offense?

[J.R.]

Somehow I knew Dusty would come up big in the battle of mental midgets ... he's making Felipe look great.

[CubinNY]

over/under for how many people are posting in the "Dusty bad managerial thread" right now:

 

10

 

I'm taking the over

[Omar]

C'mon Rem! Get a DP ball!

[Cubzfan64]

Maybe our guys will find a way to win this one despite Neifi, Hollandsworth and Dusty.

 

The ineptitude of some of these guys and the head scratching moves and non-moves of our manager are indescribable sometimes.

I'm convinced that he is throwing this last game so that he can let his old buddies SF Giants to win the Series. Explain the crappy line up. Explain leaving Carlos in the 8th, when it's obvious that he is tired.

 

It's a load of bull****.

[LoneStarCubFan]

Where's William Ligue when you really need him?

 

Heck, I didn't want watching Cub playoff baseball to interfere with the return of the NHL anyway.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Felipe is a glutton for punishment. 3 days in a row with Hawkins in the 8th?

[moorecg]

Wait...runners can score from 3rd with less than 2 outs?

 

Just when this team was starting to give me hope (Sat-Mon) Dusty goes and rips it away....it is amazing...how does this man have a job.

[OldHappyCubFan]

I just cannot believe this team.

 

 

 

THE CUBS ARE NOT A PLAYOFF TEAM
