8/8 Reds (Claussen) @ Cubs (Williams), 7:05pm, WGNTV/ESPN

[JoshiQ]

This just gets better every inning. It's so bad you have to laugh I think. Or drive you to drink heavily.

 

Yes, either their winning so badly, you laugh. or they're losing so badly, you laugh.

 

I'll take the first one..

 

but still..

 

:lol:

 

Nobody asked me, but I'm taking the second option. :drunken:

[CubfaninCA]

Let Jimmy Walker manage the bottom of the 7th. Maybe he'll pull Rusch for a pinch hitter.

[frostwyrm]

Probably a good time to let Cedeno play a couple of innings.

JOHN KRUK!

[JoshiQ]

I don't know how the fans at Wrigley can still cheer, even if it is for the 7th inning stretch.

[TruffleShuffle]

Isn't it kind of poor form to intentionally walk players on the other team when you're losing 8-0? Seems like it should be.

[Omar]

Probably a good time to let Cedeno play a couple of innings.

 

Yea, why waste Nomar? Put Cedeno in and let Nomar play tomorrow.

It's easy. They're really drunk

These are the fans that the White Sox fans target as "typical Cub fans".

[OldHappyCubFan]

Please Cincy, hit a grand slam off of Wood.

the sight of JJ (Jimmy Walker) makes everybody smile. :)

We still have a chance! 2 grand slams should get us pretty close!

[JoshiQ]

Kind of a sad thing when a couple of grand slams would still have us behind...

[Brian]

not sure if it was mentioned but is it just me or was that a a-hole thing for Casey to tag up and go to 3rdj, up by 8 freakin runs??????

[J.R.]

alcohol poisoning

[Rusch33]

We're so bad I have also resorted to laughing.

Stop, it hurts, it hurts! I'm literally laughing so hard I'm crying. Why us? why? Why do the baseball gods hate us so?

[Omar]

Well, imagine you were a player, wouldn't you do the most you can and tag up if you had a chance. No matter how much you're losing by or winning by..

[JoshiQ]

The last time I was this dissapointed in a Cubs team was.... well, it was 2004. But still!

[Ram1380]

Derwood, I like your sig, but why is Barrett in there? he's done a lot more good than bad.

 

It was a tough call on who else to put in there. It could've been Hendry I guess. It definitely would have been LaTroy if he was still around. Perez, Macias and Hollandsworthless are definitely the "Dusty Boys" though.

 

 

Yes hilarious Derwood.

 

 

The way Spacy's body is contorted, and Baker has that "I just started Macias in center, and batted Neifi 2nd" smirk on his face is blendid together is truly priceless.

 

It's actually better now with Hendry, as it looks like he and Dusty are having a good laugh at all our expense. The body language on Dusty is priceless too. He has a "what, little innocent me?" thing going on.

 

 

 

LOL, Yeah.....The " I just swallowed the turd" look.

[Brian]

David Eckstein hit a home run yesterday, so anything can happen" :lol:

Put Andruw Jones, Pujols. Tejada, ARod, Lee and Manny in the lineup and the Cubs still wouldn't score. Nomar has brought the curse w/ him. No wins since his return. Just more bad luck. Hope he can survive on $500k next year.

Why not pad your stats at this team's expense? I would. The Reds can smell 4th place right now.
