  1. honestly, seeing that [expletive] try to sac bunt three innings in a row and have it produce exactly zero runs almost gives me as much joy as it does pain. if the bus back to the hotel ran into a billboard that said 'sac bunts are stupid,' the omen wouldn't be any clearer than it was tonight. high comedy.
  2. 11 more sac bunts and the cubs would have won.
  3. ...before you decide it's a bad idea? i don't think i've ever, in my life, seen a team attempt to sac bunt a leadoff baserunner over THREE innings IN A ROW and have it fail EACH AND EVERY TIME. the evidence could not be made any plainer. it's as though the baseball gods were trying to make it as obvious as possible. THREE INNINGS IN A ROW!!!!
  4. i've missed the last half of the game. do my eyes deceive me or have the cubs been 0-3 the last three innings w/ the 'get the leadoff guy on and then bunt him over strategy'? i mean, seriously, how many times does it have to NOT work before you quit trying it?????? unreal!!!!!!!
  5. getting cocky now that they've got a run...starting to think that they can just waste runners.
  6. which has surprisingly led to no runs.
  7. so you're saying they just need to get into 1st place in singles and they'll be fine, right? hurry and trade for someone else that can beat out infield hits!
  8. wow, almost identical lines for cain and santana...weird. 4 INN, 9 HA, 3 BBI, 4 K, 6 ER, L 4 INN, 9 HA, 4 BBI, 4 K, 6 ER, L
  9. wow...if their bats are slow...
  10. instead i decided to watch the cubs dribble the ball around the infield for a couple hours. i think i made the right choice.
  11. nope. they killed the cubs. SPEED NEVER SLUMPS!!!!!
  12. yea you did - liar! edit. :D
  13. actually lee's injury is a blessing to hendry fans. they can use his injury as the excuse for why the cubs' offense is so bad, even though the offense sucked w/ lee. it distracts from the pierre and jones deals.
  14. i didn't realize small ball meant a small amount of runs being scored. oh wait, yeah i did.
  15. i can hear the end of the year excuses already...'oh, derrek lee was hurt. he was the difference between having the worst offense in the league and a great offense.'
  16. what's more shocking...that a team w/ a 100 mil payroll can have the worst offense in the league or that the guy in charge of putting together the 100 mil last place offense not only doesn't get fired, but gets an extension?
  17. Would Barrett have blocked the plate anyway? No, he would have stayed in front of home like he always does and tried a swipe tag to avoid contact. :-s I'm not knocking him, just the strategy. I think if the throw is close or gonna be late, you can easliy get the guy out by blocking plate like Scioscia to buy time. For some reason, Barrett refuses to do this. barrett's plate blocking technique is about 592nd on the list of the cubs' problems right now.
  18. lee or no lee, this offense is horrible. a gm that has a 100 mil payroll to work with should be fired if the end result is the worst offense in the league. end of story.
  19. nice game, losers. hell of a throw, pierre. has it made it to home plate yet?
  20. has jones thrown the ball to the infield in the air all season? i thought he was supposed to be good defensively.
  21. You do realize these guys are only 5.76% of the way through their contracts? i'll save this one for the daily pierre/jones griping. i'll save my response for your daily griping about daily pierre/jones griping.
  22. they're not really worth since the offense sucks so bad. so negative the players make it so easy.
  23. they're not really worth since the offense sucks so bad.
  24. lazy tag by neifi. this team is terrible.
