8/5 Cubs (Hill) @ Mets (Glavine) 6:10 CT on WGN

[Brian]

His fastball looks pretty good right now.

[AAApittsburgh]

Catch the ball, morans!!!

[SwisherSweet]

FOR CHRISSAKES WOULD YOU LEARN HOW TO PLAY BASEBALL??? MY GOD

 

WOW, A POPUP TO SHALLOW RIGHT AND OUR RIGHTFIELDER DOESN'T EVEN TOUCH IT. YOU GUYS SUCK.

[badger1679666666]

Lawton made that look tougher than it should have been.

[Brian]

Wow, Lawton made that a little to interesting.

[Brian]

WHERE'S THE HOOK RICH?

[SwisherSweet]

Carlos Beltran has a monstrous mole on the side of his head.

[JoshiQ]

Great throw by Barrett, too bad the pitch was a curve.

[Brian]

UGH

[Flames24Rulz]

Cub killer kills us again. Nice to give a crappy offense an early lead. :roll:

[SwisherSweet]

Thanks for that one Burnitz. I hate you.

[badger1679666666]

:?

[Jon]

Hanger and charge that one to Burnitz.

I'm sure if you asked him he would tell you he prefers sitting on the bench in the ML over spending time toiling in the Minors (playing everyday) but having a doubt in his mind about whether or not he will get another chance to play for the Cubs (arguably the fear of every minor league player).

 

Unfortunately sitting on the bench hinders his development, as he still has some things to work on. If he's not going to get regular playing time, then he should be in AAA. He's only 22.

 

His "develpment" will pickup where it left off when he becomes the Cubs everyday SS in 2006 (?) or beyond. Either he can play or he can't. There are guys who spend their entire career in the minors and never develop into ML quality.

 

this is just ignorant - cedeno has things that need to be worked on, and without regular playing time, he will not be able to do that. he needs to be playing in the majors or be sent down to the minors.

 

I love how you call me ignorant because my opinion differs with yours. That's the best way to get anyone to see your point

 

Met 1-0 on cheap Beltran hit. :roll:

[UMFan83]

First two curves hit hard. Neither looked very good

i'm not calling you ignorant. your argument, however, ignores the facts. it has nothing to do with a difference in opinion.

you thought that last one was hit hard? It was a total bloop.

[Blueheart05]

Haha,Beltran caught off second.

[Jon]

Not much location from Hill early on.

 

And that was funny, Beltran.

[badger1679666666]

Nice play Macias :shock:

[Flames24Rulz]

i am so glad we don't have Beltran. The lack of hustle and his dumbness would be real frustrating on our team.

[Brian]

That's the first hit Hill has given up to a lefty.

[woodprior04]

We should've signed Beltran. He would've fit right in with the rest of this team.

[chicubs]

Remember when people here were begging for cubs management to sign beltran? They said he was "special"...haha!

[Brian]

Probably the first good curve right there.
