Shouldn't Rothschild or Baker be out there ???

[eburgcub]

:x

 

Wow.... great start here

[BobRoss139]

Pat and Ron seem to think Macias had a chance to catch it. What did you all seeing it think?

 

Maybe Hairston but seeing as how Macias is a midget, I dunno.

 

I'd have to say he had a chance, though, and didn't really try to catch it.

[Derwood]

Macias could have totally caught it. It was all of a foot or two above the fence line. He didn't even jump.

[SwisherSweet]

Thanks a lot Mark. Way to come out of the gate strong. You're just as pathetic as the rest of these bums on the roster. I'd rather have a bunch of lousy pitchers playing over their heads like they do in St. Louis than a #1 draft pick who can't ever seem to get a big win when we need it.

[woodprior04]

We need to look for starting pitching next year.

 

We also need to look for offense, relievers, and most importantly, a new manager.

[CDBears1259]

"Struggling Abreu" = grand slam

 

Why is it that it always happens that when announcer says something hasn't happened or someone is on a streak of some sort that it immediately happens the exact opposite way? I hate it when announcers mention these types of things.

[Cubzfan64]

Hey, somebody wanna catch the lights on the way out please??

[UMFan83]

For the love of God, please fire Rothschild after this season. How can someone have so much talent to worth with and get so little out of it.

I'd have to see a replay. At first I thought the same but it I think it was just beyond his reach.

:roll: :roll: :roll:

I'm really hoping you're being sarcastic here.

I think this demonstrates why the team needs people playing the positions they are actually qualified to play.

Yeah, I'd have to agree. He's not getting the most out of what should be a very strong staff.

[YearofDaCubs]

And then people stick up for this pathetic team when fasn boo them. What a damn joke.

[badger1679666666]

This thread is gonna turn ugly, and then dead.

[badger1679666666]

And then he strikes out the side. Comical. This team is comical.

[SwisherSweet]

I wonder what Matt Lawton thinks of his new team.

[USSoccer]

And then he strikes out the side. Comical. This team is comical.

 

Definetly frustrating to watch. We cannot seem to catch any sort or break, and then we get things like the 1st inning today.

 

This team just lacks something. It's too uneven to be better than average.

Please watch the language. If you need a break from the game threads or from the Cubs, then -- by all means -- take one.

[Brian]

nice to see the real Prior show up 5 batters to late.

[Blueheart05]

We stick up for them because we are fans. If you have some much contempt you shouldnt watch because this team has problems (obviously). I'm still going to watch and I suspect you will as well. The only difference is you'll watch and kill yourself by picking apart every mistake and I'll watch knowing they are behind yet maintaining they can come back in the next 8 innings.

[radarluv1]

i'd be willing to bet that prior only gives up 1 more run in 6 innings. this would mean we lose the game, of course, but i do think he will settle down.

Let them vent!

[NomarSammy]

Dear Bdger,

I apologize for being wrong on Walker's average, but it is still my opinion that the mentality that you have is the problem with this offense. I watch Cards and Astros score runs with less talent because they have team offenses. We try to get a hit to the right side, but we refuse to give ourself up. Now being down 4, we will all try and hit HRS and score about 3 runs today!

 

Sincerely,

ME :(

What language?
