Is it wrong that I am feeling physically ill waiting for this game? Do I have a problem? -
yeah, I'm [expletive]

Is wickman still the Braves closer?

There is nothing about ray kings picture that makes him look like a pro athlete

Kevin Mench played awesome tonight. I liked the way he walked to that batters box

Graphics popping up on the computer shouldn't be this intense. Stupid gamecast

He's hit .233/.246 with 0 HRs since he's been there. His lack of production...heck, total collapse, amazes me...but I agree with you. I think we've found our "kenny lofton sparked the offense" myth of 2007. Lou got ejected June 2nd, and June third thru whatever date was the time period the Cubs had the best record in baseball. Z got good. ARam's walkoff was only a few days after Cubs gave up the 5-run lead in the 9th to Colorado, only for Sori to comeback and hit the walkoff single in the bottom of the inning. They were both part of the team's longest winning streak in five years. Fontenot was beyond ridiculous the entire month of June. The bullpen decided to stop sucking. Barrett's below-average numbers were replaced by Bowen's and Hill's completely non-existent offense. I'm sure I can find more reasons to discredit the Barrett being traded theory, those are just off the top of my head. I agree with a lot of those things but I do think Barrett being traded helped not from a production standpoint (although it did enable us to get Kendell who I think has helped with more than just numbers.) but from a morale standpoint. Zambrano started to pitch well right after than. Although that could also have been because he wanted to prove something after his fight. So what do I know.

Last 16 games. What do we have to do to get there?

The pitching has to remain solid because we aren't going to outhit anybody. (AKA no more Steve Trachsel please) -
While that was a big play, I think big event of the season that turned us around was trading Barrett
-
I think so, but if not I don't mind starting Ward again. I don't mind Ward playing. I like having the left handed power threat, plus the last time he faced the Cards he had the two home runs.

What is the over/under on Tony LaRussa meaningless arguments tonight

Do We Really Want This Team to Make the Playoffs?
bcl412 replied to Derwood's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
When you cheer for bad teams like I do you always want them to make the playoffs. At the worst it always gives your team experience that they may need later. Look at the Cards. -
Since we own the Cards the last couple of years I think we should take at least 3/4. Then again we have the being the Cubs factor going against us.
-
That's pretty much his last start. this is the cubs, they're incompetent... i won't believe that it's his last start until the season is over and he hasn't started another game Piniella does seem to have half a brain. I just hope he isn't seduced by this game into giving Trachsel more starts. And is there any official word on Marshall? I think Trachsel's pitching tomarrow. Gotta ride the hot hand
-
No that is how long each at bat lasted that he was pitching during.
-
Carlos Marmol is really good at baseball. Now who wants to talk some classic literature!!!
-
That fake out was sweet.
-
You mean Harry isn't better than a hot chick. Jeeze some kind of Cubs fan you are. :). Or maybe I'm a little obsessive.
-
Welcome. Take nothing serious in game thread. Oh I've read before. I'm just happy that we might actually come through and beat a bad pitcher. (With an equally bad pitcher on top of that.) Or else I might be thinking the same stuff I've read on here.
-
This is my first time posting on here. Hopefully I don't post like the Cubs play baseball. (Which would actually be average but you get my point.)

Carlos Marmol is good at baseball.
