[Flames24Rulz]

im not a pessimist, but i've gave up on this team. There is no way were going anywhere with Jose freakin Macias as the starting CF on this team.

I would give Hendry $100 out of my own pocket to fire Dusty.

[Brian]

I think 1 will be enought tonight.

[Warpticon]

Wow, Joe. "I think he should have run forward more, they have to know who's running." Run forward, Joe, as opposed to...you know...TO THE BALL?

[XZero771679666304]

Apparently Macias, like Holla, likes to take his sweet time getting to balls.

You're not a pessimist you are being a realist.

[SwisherSweet]

HONESTLY

 

YOU THINK MICHAEL BARRETT COULD HAVE AT LEAST CAUGHT THAT BALL CLEANLY. TO GET FLOYD OUT AT 2ND.

 

WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM? WHY IS HE SO LOUSY?

[LuvChicagoSports]

That was terrible, but my question is that if the infield was in the huge pull shift why wasn't the outfield also in a shift towards right field. Macias was playing straight away cf. This is something that just doesn't make sense.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

How did Beltran score on that play? Was he running?

[Derwood]

I was hoping not to have to break out my latest photoshop so early, but:

2 early runs. I'm done with this game...

[CuseCubFan69]

Mental mistakes? Why not just draw the players names out of a hat and see what positions they can play? I blame Baker for not putting a team out there.

[JGalt73]

This...just...keeps...getting...worse...

[CuseCubFan69]

How did Beltran score on that play? Was he running?

 

Yes

[XZero771679666304]

Poor Zambrano.

 

I would give $100 of my own money just be able to yell at Dusty in a one on one scenario.

[Derwood]

Joe Morgan just told me that the #5 spot in the order is a good RBI position. Me feel unstupid now.

[abuck1220]

every day this team finds new ways to play terrible baseball.

 

but don't worry...i think there's like 9 months left in the season.

[Brian]

good thing we have are best offensive players out there.... oh wait...... :x

[CuseCubFan69]

Somebody tell macias that it's ok to pick up the ball while it's still moving...

 

Perez once again saves the Cubs!!!!!

[bhogg]

How did Beltran score on that play? Was he running?

 

Yes

 

 

 

he was running forward, if memory serves.

[Mushimus]

How did Beltran score on that play? Was he running?

 

Yes

 

Also thank Macias for not hitting the cut off man.

That's unpossible!

Maybe if Joe would mention to Dusty that CF is a good defensive position??
