Coleman is horrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible today. -
Colvin, that AB smelled like old balls.
-
Rammy doing his best Prince Fielder from yesterday-impression.
-
THE 'DOME.
-
And there goes the WGN video feed.
-
Heh, great AB by Coleman.
-
Darwin inexplicably comes through with an RBI single.
-
Nice AB by Colvin.
-
Delicious.
-
I really, really, really like Prince Fielder.
-
Maybe. But Fielder and Braun are both better than the best hitter on the Cubs And then they fall way the [expletive] off once you get past them and weeks.

You do realize that average and below average MLB pitchers have plenty of good or great games, right? Remember how Carlos Silva inexplicably looked like a world beater at the beginning of last year? I do, but its still frustrating when it happens to us. Now doesn't that feel better than the usual "Cy Narveson"-type rigamarole?
-
Much.

They didn't fight each other. They should have. I'm all for ditching the idea of having pitchers bat in the NL and instead make the starters duke it out.

It's weird how some seem to be on the verge of pissing their pants over the idea of the Cubs facing Yovani Gallardo. Everyone actually knows who Yovani Gallardo is, right? He's a good pitcher. He's not nigh unbeatable, he's not some kind of all star pitching ace for the ages...he's Yovani Gallardo: good pitcher for the Milwuakee Brewers. It's by no means a sure thing that the Cubs, who have started off the year with a pretty good offense, won't beat him.

Did you mean "hello .500"? No, I was already counting tomorrow as a loss. Ah-boooooooo.

Yeah but still the Cubs were 4-3 before this game. I think that is too early for apathy to set in for the season but maybe I'm wrong. Personally I have been thinking the Bulls & Blackhawks respective drives towards the playoffs have had something to do with it too. I've been pretty apathetic since about April 2010. There is just a general sense of apathy from Cubs fans right now. Not all but many. Its why the crowds are dwindling, its why the game threads and Cubs posts in general have dropped significantly from 2 years ago. Well, I'm assuming you'll be seeing more once it gets nicer out since they've already sold over 2.6 million tickets. To idiots, I guess. they sold more tickets to the games against the pirates but a lot of the people who had tickets didn't go. there are still tickets available for games/weekends that are normally sold out. they just had their lowest attendance game in years. i know they are still drawing some people, but how can you argue that there isn't a sense of apathy that wasn't there in recent years? I didn't.

Ah well. Cubs win tomorrow 8-4.

Who would you rather have pitching in this situation? I realize he's just eating an inning in a game we're not going to win. Why not bring up someone else and give them a chance? His career statistics are terrible. He looks terrible now. He's always looked terrible. He shouldn't be on the roster. That would require Hendry to admit he made a multimillion dollar mistake. Not gonna happen. Well, they got rid of Silva, Bradley, etc. That's what I don't get. If they'll flush Silva's contract, why not Shark? Hell, at least Silva was a productive member of the team for a short while. Because it's really not that vital to scramble to fill the long relief role less than two weeks into the season.

Not gonna happen. Yes, because there's never been an example of Hendry dealing with a multimillion dollar mistake.

Who would you rather have pitching in this situation? Stevens, Maine, Caridad, Diamond, just about any other minor leaguer. We know that Shark isn't good, might as well see if any of those other guys can turn into something. I was talking about the guys that are already with the team.
