    Marmol walks 24 leading to half of those 12 runs, Shark walks 3 and gives up a GS along with another BB, 1B and two run 2B to Pedro.

    17 base runners and 3 runs? That's all Cubs there, Lou PO'ed at the wrong people, instead of jumping on the media, I wish he'd jump all over Soriano for his dumb-ass base running or Theriot for that matter or Marmol.

    The Cubs deserve some credit for hanging in despite the injuries and Lou's been pretty good through it as well. At least he hasn't been lamenting about his team being struck by one injury after another. Just one year I want to see this injury BS, to this depth, happen to the Cards, let's remove Pujols for most of the season and put starters 1-4 on the DL at some time or another. After which, well see just how "good" Ludwick, etc. are.

    What's the over-under on Harden BB's tonight? Watch the Phillies break out tonight, they'll take, take letting Harden fall behind in the count and then smash him.

    It's amazing the Rockies manage to score 11 runs on consecutive nights with a lineup of 3 legit, good hitters and pile of crap. Yet, the Cubs get 29 hits and manage only 10 runs - pathetic.

    I really don't believe the Wild Card is a concern because this team isn't making the playoffs period. It does to many things wrong, time and time again we've seen this team snatch a loss from the jaws of victory. It's very frustrating to watch the Cubs lose to teams that are less talented, but, unlike the Cubs, able to consistently execute baseball fundamentals. We saw it in action last Friday night, how many potential DP grounders did they screw up in the 3rd inning 2 or was it 3? Couple this with perhaps, two of the worst base runners in baseball - Theriot and Soriano (who is also the laziest player in baseball), a bullpen that can't throw strikes an extreme lack of hitting with RISP and you have a recipe for a non-playoff team.

    Yes, he tossed a shutout earlier this year while pitching for the Phillies' AAA affiliate, Lehigh Valley Ironpigs. I knew the answer would probably be yes, I'm just ticked the Cubs let this guy off the hook. They should have been able to score at least 4 runs off this guy, his stuff was and is nothing special. The only that may have been special is the whole being baffled by some one they haven't faced before nonsense.

    It's probably wildly optimistic or stupid of me but, I believe the Cubs are going shock us all and take 3 of 4 from Colorado. Of course, I was also one of the people who thought the Cubs we're going to come back and win last night. This goes against my approach to the Cubs usually I expect the worst and hope for the best. But, Justin Lehr? Seriously? Has this clown ever thrown a shutout before, even in little league?

    I think Harden has him confused with Rolen from five years ago.
  10. gflore34
    Losing to a washed up Scot Rolen and a journey man 32 pitcher - figures.

    This is why I'm not worried about what the Cards do, the divison hinges on the Cubs. If they offense continues to score runs or just play to their ability its going to come down to pitching and Cubs are better.

    Here's to him having dropped some weight and being in better shape!
  13. gflore34
    Hopefully, the Cubs can get this one tonight, Cards facing Santana in NY tomorrow, good chance they'll pick up a game in the loss column.

    How many of the Marlin' 8 runs were scored with two outs? 7? Very frustrating to watch a team score all or most of their runs with two outs of course, if the Cubs could actually throw a strike or two this probably wouldn't be happening as often. Loved the way Marmol celebrated after K'ing Hermida last night, pretty funny Hermida stared him down. Given the Marlins are a bunch of obnoxious a-holes its fitting they get some of their own antics thrown back in their faces.
  15. gflore34
    I was thinking about the weight issue as well hopefully, the Cubs had a personal trainer riding his ass and he dropped some weight.

    Que the being mesmerized by never having faced pitcher X as a starter music.

    I don't know if that's going to happen thus far, against decent teams on the road, the Cubs have been absolute garbage. Sure, they can beat up on the likes of the Reds, Nationals and Pirates but, except for the odd game here or there, they've gotten the crap beat out of them by Phillies, Cardinals and shortly, the Marlins. Honestly, they're going to get swept this weekend and it's not going to be close. No team plays mostly "decent teams" on the road. You talk like they've played the Phillies in a ton of games on the road this year. They played 3 games against them: 1 was a blowout in their favor, 1 was a blowout in the Cubs' favor and one was up in the air until the very end. The rest of their road numbers in the first half are skewed by the offensive drought they were in for most of May and June. That's not saying that they'll suddenly be road worldbeaters this half, but it's way too soon since they've seemingly started turning things around to just assume that the results of the first half will be repeated. I hope you right and things do change on the road.

    It just makes my blood boil when crap like John Baker and Wes Helms beat the Cubs with 2 out hits come on, this bs never happens to the Cardinals. The good news is I'll be racking my Barely Wine to the secondary fermentation tomorrow, maybe, that won't be the only good news. Maybe a miracle will occur such as the Cubs winning as well.

    Given they manner in which the Cubs have played since the break I'm trying to remain optimistic but, I believe this game over.
  21. gflore34
    Great to hear the Cubs back into their crap on the road mode - giving up hits to pitcher, Fontenot not making a basic play and of course, the opposition pulling a play out their asses.
  22. gflore34
    Screw ESPN when the Cubs win the World Series what are they going do for content? Switch to the Indians?

    I think he had better worry about making the playoffs first. Actually, the Cubs have needed another lefty in the bullpen since Cotts imploded. Gorzelanny and Marshall add a lot of depth to the starting rotation in case of injuries, poor performance, or team matchups. Also, don't forget the impact of this trade on the future. If Grabow doesn't meet expectations, he could net the Cubs 2 draft picks. Marshall and Gorzelanny could step right in as possible starters if Harden isn't resigned. I wouldn't agree with that line of thinking I suggested in regard to the postseason, just wondered why he has picked up this many lefty arms/projects the last couple months... Grabow won't be netting us two draft picks, and I honestly don't see the need for him and his career 1.45 whip. Sounds like a luckier, lefty version of Heilman. If we needed a loogy, why get one who lefties hit .275 against? Heilman - 47.1 ip, 40K, 30BB, 46 hits, 4.56 era, 1.61 whip Grabow - 47.1 ip, 41K, 28BB, 43 hits, 3.42 era, 1.50 whip I like the high upside with Gorzo, though. I believe this is the best part of deal, in the long term who has the potential to be a better 5th starter? I like Gorzelanny over Hart.

    Well it's a 10-game road trip. (3 FLA, 3 CIN, 4 COL). 6-4 would be good. However, with St. Louis' schedule, that might not be enough to keep the Cubs in 1st. They have Houston (3), Mets (2), Pit (3) and then Cin (3). The only good pitchers they face (Wandy, Oswalt, Santana) will be facing Carpenter, Wainwright, and Pineiro respectively, so they could conceivably have a favorable pitching matchup in every game. The Cubs get the Phils when they get home. So, 7-3 would be ideal. Sweeping FL might be too much to ask. Sweeping Cincy again will be tough. 3-1 vs. a good Col team will be tough too. But, 2-1, 2-1, 3-1 is doable. I like that, if Cubs keep winning series from here on out they be in playoffs regardless of what the Cardinals do.

    Game over LA wins 5-3 and Cubs pick up a game in the loss column!!!!
