Cedeno batting first, Pierre batting 8th plz.

Can't wait.

Marshall Marshall Marshall!!!

Thats the pitcher Ronny! C'monnnnn ...

Cincy is extremely hot, and Griffey is still on the DL! Could they be for real?

God Mabry's swing is so ugly.

Typical Jockstrap.

Jockbomb coming up here.

MLB TV? There should be ways to get around that, make a topic or somthing. I'm sure somebody knows.

Still doesn't make up for karate chopping Casey in the back.

WHY???

Good pitch by Santos there. Not much Walk could do.

Please don't ever do that again. YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BAWWWWDDD ... YES! Pierre steals!

HE GAWNNNN!!!

bold statement. I hope you're right. Especially since the last time we scored 7 or more runs was April 23 against St. Louis. I sense our O is pretty ashamed and wants to shell Sucktos tonigt.

I love it when people argue that wins determine how good a pitcher is. Reminds me of my friend Pat that thinks Matt Morris and Russ Ortiz are better than Wood and Zambrano, among many others, based on wins alone. He also thinks Matt Morris is a future hall of famer (maybe because he went to our high school :lol: )

May 4th RICH HILL VS JAUN CRUZZZ :shock: :shock: Should be interesting.

Hopefully Barret takes this as a sign that he needs to step the heck up! Mabry as well.

If only we could infuse Giambi's plate patience into Jones. Jock would be a monster.

On the contrary, Pierre, Jones & even Ramirez have not been the problem during the last week or so...... 04/22 - 04/29 AB R H 2B 3B HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS Jones 22 3 7 1 0 3 17 6 0 3 0.318 0.348 0.773 1.121 Ramirez 18 6 4 1 0 2 11 5 7 1 0.222 0.440 0.611 1.051 Pierre 27 7 8 3 0 0 11 0 1 4 0.296 0.345 0.407 0.752 The only thing I know is that Ram and Pierre have not been money when we really needed runs. Jock has been clutch but how long will he keep this up?

We will score 7 runs or more tonight.

They don't need a spark. There not a very good team. You could argue that Prior and Lee are the two best players on the team. Take Carp and Poohole off the Cards ... they suck. Sheets and Lee off the Brewers ... they suck. Oswalt and Ensberg/Berkman off the Astros ... they suck. THIS is why we needed a bat in the off season. This team needs a face lift if anything. Just to set the record straight a little bit...... Lee was injured in the game on Wed 19 April in Los Angeles. The CUBS record, including that game on the 19th was 9-5. The CUBS were scoring 5.43 R/G while allowing 4.15 04/03 - 04/19 AB R H 2b 3b HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS CUBS w/Lee 480 76 134 23 4 14 207 68 35 85 0.279 0.326 0.431 0.758 04/03 - 04/19 IP H R ER BB K HR BB/9 K/9 HR/9 WHIP ERA CUBS 123.7 95 58 51 60 94 21 4.37 6.84 1.53 1.25 3.71 Since Lee left the lineup, the CUBS have played 9 games, going 4-5. During this stretch the CUBS have scored 3.67 R/G while allowing the opposition to score 6.00 R/G 04/21 - 04/30 AB R H 2b 3b HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS CUBS w/o Lee 278 33 60 12 2 7 97 32 30 44 0.216 0.297 0.349 0.646 04/21 - 04/30 IP H R ER BB K HR BB/9 K/9 HR/9 WHIP ERA CUBS 70.0 80 54 45 45 79 12 5.79 10.16 1.54 1.79 5.79 Any way you slice it, it looks pretty grim. I'm not saying Lee won't make the offense worse, but with Lee I still think our offense needs another bat. Pierre and, to a lesser extent, Jones are hurting us. Our production from the catchers spot is good, but Barret needs to be more patient. Same for Ronny. Ram has been AWFUL, and REALLY needs to step up. Even if our whole offense was rolling, I would still like to upgrade in CF, RF, and get a better RH bat off the bench.

If we dont win this I might offically push the panic button. Win you scrubs!

If we can get Sanders for Rusch it they should contract the Royals.
