8/15 Cubs (Rusch) @ Astros (Rodriguez) 7:05 CSNC

[Cubzfan64]

If they threw curveballs in batting practice, THAT would have been a good example of one.

[SwisherSweet]

You're pathetic Glendon. Five runs to the worst offense in baseball is absolutely horrific.

[Omar]

Our pitching staff is just terrible. I'm sorry.

 

All these supposed prospects, and we can't find a decent fill-in?

 

The Cubs NEED all three of these games.

 

OK, Rusch is struggling.. but Prior, Rusch, Maddux, Z, and Williams is pretty good compared to most teams.

[Schwarber Fan]

who is Chris Burke???

[OldHappyCubFan]

OK, Rusch is struggling.. but Prior, Rusch, Maddux, Z, and Williams is pretty good.

 

Nobody's in double digits of wins.

 

The stats of our pitching, are just flat out average.

Our staff isn't terrible, he left one out and over the plate.......ALL of our starters do that, specially Prior lately.

[Omar]

What was the Aflac Trivia question?

[CubfaninCA]

Ugh. Where's Shawn Estes. :)

 

So much for Glendon's 3.32 ERA as a starter. Been a while since he's started, so can't hammer him too bad. He has performed well at times this year.

[muntjack]

Bottom line, we're facing Wandy Rodriguez, Andy Pettite and Roy Oswalt this series. This is a Must-Win.

[Rusch33]

Gets to where he only needs 1 more out again, and gives it up.

 

 

 

Get him out Baker, NOW.

 

 

Now, I understand all the crap Baker gets, but this is beyond his control. Fire Baker for starting Rusch instead of Rich Hill?

[Blueheart05]

For everyone that said Rusch was pitching badly because he was coming out of the bullpen what's the excuse now? He's been giving up a lot of homers lately. BAD LOCATION!

 

OR maybe he's pitching really badly because he hasnt started in 2 months?

 

It doesn't matter. He has pitched during the last 2 months and he's been shaky at best. I'm not piling on tonight, I've been saying this for a while.

[SwisherSweet]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BURNITZ

[sccubbies]

neither pitcher is very good, I say it takes 10 runs to win this one.

Very overrated no doubt.

[OldHappyCubFan]

Jeromy Sosa strikes out again.

[CubsHawks25]

Yet another easy out by Burnitz...... go chug some more beer in the dugout, BeerLeague!!! :roll:

[Schwarber Fan]

I hope Burny is benched tomorrow with Lawton and Murton in the OF

[Rusch33]

You're pathetic Glendon. Five runs to the worst offense in baseball is absolutely horrific.

 

 

That pathetic offense is winning the Wild Card, aren't they?

 

Give Houston props.

[OldHappyCubFan]

This is the most important series of our season.

 

We need all.three.wins.

[Flames24Rulz]

neither pitcher is very good, I say it takes 10 runs to win this one.

 

i dont. now that Houston has the lead, Rusch will shut them down and our offense will be shut down for the rest of the night. Thats what usually happens at least.

[Omar]

IN SIDE THE PARKER!!!

[Wild_Cubs04]

CPATT!!!! Hahahahaha that was cool

[YearofDaCubs]

That's the COrey I like to see!!

[da bears]
