8-4 Cubs (Prior) at Phillies (Myers) 12:05 CT, WGN TV/RADIO

Nice catch by Utley.

 

If the throw goes to first instead of second on the Macias hit, wouldn't Macias have taken second easily like Rollins took third yesterday on the throw?

[LoneStarCubFan]

This season can't end quick enough.

[Blueheart05]

I like the way Neifi touched himself immediately after hitting that foul. It's almost a reflex with him. I think I'd rather shake hands with Moises Alou than Neifi.

 

LOL

[Brian]

Barrett

Lawton

Walker

Lee

 

for the 9th, It could be worse I guess.

[Rob]

I'm still not willing to give up on this game.

 

Barrett, Lawton, Walker, Lee to try and tie this up? Not exactly murderers row... but still not bad.

[OldHappyCubFan]

Do you ever shut up? I mean seriously.

 

Please watch the personal attacks.

 

I'm sorry if you don't like the truth I speak. I'm not going optimistic, when the situation calls for some pessimism.

 

The truth of the matter, is Burnitz is hovering around .260, and has had a ton of chances batting around the likes of Aram/Lee.

[Rob]

Here's the question...

 

Do you bring in Murton to face Wagner instead of leaving Lawton in?

[SwisherSweet]

Yawn. We can't even hit a mediocre reliever on his 3rd straight day of work.

[Cubzfan64]

The way we've been playing lately, it's more likely that Macias would have tripped and been tagged out :-(

Usually it would be the bottom of the order. But I can live with those 4 guys.

 

Although I still think we're not going to get 1, much less 2 off of Wagner.

[Brian]

with Novoa the gas can in, maybe we won't see Wagner.

[erik316wttn]

with Novoa the gas can in, maybe we won't see Wagner.

 

At least he's better than Alfonseca.

 

Yes, I can't believe that's the only positive I can think of right now.

[LoneStarCubFan]

Here's the question...

Tough call on that one. I wouldn't fault Baker for using either guy.

[Flames24Rulz]

Here's the question...

sounds like a good idea, but Johnnie B. Baker has other ideas.

Yes, I can't believe that's the only positive I can think of right now.

 

But Antonio has more fingers...

Nothing personal but we don't want to hear your truth on every post. You rarely post ANYTHING positive. Where are you when something goes right? We all vent from time to time but how about some balance in the posting.

[Brian]

At least we scored 4 runs, it's been awhile since we've done that (besides the garbage time blowout runs against AZ, I think the last game vs. STL was the last 4+ runs).

There was no personal attack, I asked if you ever shut up.

 

All you do is post negative crap every post every game thread. You aggravate EVERYONE else in the thread. Plus almost nothing you post is accurate.

 

Burnitz is not terrible offensively, he is average offensively. In fact I've only seen one thing you've posted that had truth behind it. And that's that the players were fundamentally awful yesterday.

 

Other than that everything is a gross negative exaggeration.

 

Maybe if you posted something other than everyone on the cubs sucks, and everything sucks, and the cubs are gutless, and our pitching sucks etc. people wouldn't get so irritated with you.

 

In fact I think I saw someone clap in response to my post.

[OldHappyCubFan]

Nice job by Novoa, hes been looking pretty good.

[Flames24Rulz]

alright 9th inning time.

 

lets tie it up.

[Blueheart05]

Novoa with the scoreless inning

 

Lets get to Wagner

I agree with no personal attacks. But, OHCF, you seem to be a bit of a pessimist and that was what Badger was trying to say..IMO. It should have been said in a different manner though.

How'd the 4 runs for the Phillies score in the 1st? Do I want to know?

[SwisherSweet]

Ugh. Wagner has one blown save all year. It was against the Cubs, however.

If you have a problem with me, I'd rather you PM me about it, then play the "people's spokesman."

 

The Mel Gibson "rally around me" approach really isn't the way to go about things.
