This is hyperbole, I understand it. But I feel like the Cubs are just not worthy to make the playoffs after the last 5-6 games. Come ON. WIN A FREAKING GAME WHEN YOU NEED ONE This lack of offense is killing me.

DESTROY THE METS AND OPEN UP A LEAD IN THE CENTRAL

Hahahah, these guys are all despondent, talking about how they have no chance to win the division. Its nice seeing it in another team and not our own.

So did I...but I realized he wasn't that good...ever. Bigger/better hitter... Larry Whigham or Chris Harris? Big Hitter, whatever. I've been begging for a safety that can handle pass coverage the past 3 years. (Other than Mike Brown of course)

So did I...but I realized he wasn't that good...ever.

Its really not that bad of an idea.

Hahahahah ridiculous 3rd strike call.

Will OHman. :? That was pathetic.

I want Eyre and Ohman off this team.

I just want him DFA'd is all.

Seriously, is Will Ohman a bullpen pitcher? This is pathetic. Everyone else in the bullpen has been great today. Ohman has been embarrassing.

Luckily, there really aren't any of those in the National League. Luckily the playoffs are about 40% luck, as evidenced by the 2006 Cardinals.

I wish we relied on home runs more. Don't talk about it like its a bad thing. The absolute best thing any hitter can do while in the batters box is hit a home run.

I don't think Grossman is even in the top 5 of players I'm worried about losing to injury. Its probably like 1) Urlacher 2) Tait 3) Briggs 4) Harris 5) Another Random Offensive Linemen

IMO, The Bears did improve during this off-season, but this probably won't be shown in their record. Hopefully the improvement will be shown in their postseason success.

The Royals are a really bad team. However, this does not change the fact that Buddy Bell is an awful awful manager.

I think it says guys don't like playing behind Rich. He is slow, throws lots of pitches and really doesn't get the defense involved (Lots of K's and flyballs). Whoa whoa whoa I'm not saying anything like that, I'm just saying it might affect Rich a little pyschologically. He plays his heart out and the bats never seem to pay him any favors. I know what you're saying. And I'm saying that maybe if he pitched a little faster (lower pitch counts, quicker innings) that the bats might pick him up more often. I'm saying that's crazy talk. Oh really? Have you eve played baseball before? Go ask a fielder how much they hate playing behind a Steve Trachsel type, then get back to me. Here's the thing...if all we went by was personal experience we'd be confused about a lot of things. For example, it seems like everytime I'm frustrated with traffic, Nickleback starts playing on the radio to add to my frustration. If I just went with my personal experience, I would believe there was a connection between my frustration and Nickleback being played on the radio (for the record, I don't have any fancy XM stuff or do I have a cd player for my vehicle, so I'm stuck with FM radio). However, if I were to look at the broadcast schedule for the radio station, I would see the the playlist was planned ahead of time and they play Nickleback every 5 minutes, so I am bound to hear Nickleback at a frequent rate when I am frustrated. The times I hear Nickleback while already frustrated stick out in my mind due to the excessive levels of frustration they cause at that time. ...The moral of my story is this: You can't make arguments based only on personal experience. Are you in the Chicagoland area? If so, just stick to 97.1 and occasionally 97.9 and 94.7 When 97.9 started playing Nickelback I knew my years on this Earth were numbered.

Guess who else takes pitches and walks a fair amount. Heres a hint: His name starts with a D and ends in Erek Lee

wow waited over 3 years to make a post and he brings the thunder with the first post. I dont know why you would hope not about Murton, I mean seriously would you rather Jones or Floyd face a lefty? Murton in RF against a lefty gives us our best chance to win. and you waited a mere 42 minutes to be a dick about it Chill out with the namecalling. Where does that gif come from?

With Rusty Jones, hopefully we dont have to pray. Lord knows that praying doesn't do us any good in Chicago anyway.

Its a nice thing all the stats disagree with you and we are actually still underperforming our talent by a couple games. BTW, those super talented Brewers you are so afraid of: still overpeforming slightly. BTW, where in my post did it state that I was afraid of the Brewers? Are you talking about stats like these? 8th in NL in RS 12th in NL in HR 10th in NL in OBP 9th in NL in SLG 9th in NL OPS You're right those numbers completely refute my point. And showing me only offensive numbers to argue my point? I should have said: "The stats taken as a whole tell you the opposite."

"CUBS score 4.67 R/G overall.... 3.00 R/G when Hill pitches " This says a lot. Score some for Hill, plz.

CUBS LOSE 3-0

COME ON METS
