  1. 5-0 and still only 1 out. Swept by the Pirates?....last time that happened? 2006. This year's Cubs could be just as terrible.
  2. Hopefully Zambrano can come in for some work in the 7th.
  3. Off to a great start. 2-0 might as well be 200-0.
  4. 8 straight balls and 2 walks for Wells to lead of the bottom of the first. :shock:
  5. Burress is the no name du jour tonight to shut out the Cubs. 1-2-3 in the first for this pathetic offense.
  6. Anyone else just watch Steve Stone on CSN? Basically said that Ramirez doesn't go to Jamarillo for advice on hitting. Kaplan then commented that it is "known" that Ramirez had a talk with Jamarillo and told him that he was a veteran player and he knew what he needed to do to get out of his slump. Interesting.... Would it kill Theriot to get a hit to lead of the game?
  7. Heart of the order goes down weakly in the 6th against BULLS**T Charlie Morton.
  8. I'm happy that Aram didn't A) strikeout and B) ground in a double play. Considering his slump, that wasn't bad.
  9. I'm waiting to see the Soriano solo shot in the 7th to extend his homer streak. Otherwise, Morton is going to mow down this pathetic offense.
  10. Close. Lilly was HBP and the riot swung at the first pitch and grounded into a force out.
  11. No hits through 3IP for Morton. Got to love the approach by the Cubs. Don't worry, Charlie. The Cubs are the perfect remedy to your bush league ERA.
  12. I wouldn't be so sure about that. This is the Cubs, the same team that makes loser starting pitchers look like gods. My point is that conceding the game after the opponent scores one run in the first inning is silly. The game isn't over, but to think the Cubs would destroy Morton is laughable. This team lives to suck against horrible starting pitching.

  15. Yep and that 6-9 is the worst I've seen in a while. Totally agree about Soto. Why Lou continues to baby him makes no sense at all. He should be in the lineup hitting 6th.
  16. Not bad. Would look much better with the OBP machine Soto in there. Ramirez finally gets moved down.
  17. I'm predicting that Morton goes at least 6+ innings in this game, which is criminal.
  18. I'm not blaming the guy for taking the money. Shame on this organization for giving it to him. My point was that he was handed that ridiculous deal to be the same type of player he was in Washington. A top of the order hitter with the rare combo of speed and power. When he goes cold, there's really nothing left. His defense is always going to be bad and obviously the Cubs are content on treating Soriano like Soto, when Alfonso gets on base. To me, that is a joke.
  19. Agree that Soriano is most valuable to this team when he is swinging the bat. When he's hot like he is now, there's not many better. However, he gets criticized more than most because a large part of his ridiculous deal was based on speed and "igniting an offense" In that regard, he has failed miserably. True, some of this is due to injuries. I just feel that if he is healthy again, he should be more of a threat on the base paths.
  20. Maybe he realizes SB are overrated and he's not nearly as fast as he used to be. Plus, he doesn't want to risk ruining his legs anymore. Soriano stole bases much like he hit, based on physical gifts. Abreu has always had an approach at the plate, and that is quite possibly carried into his running. Risk ruining his legs? It's running, not like running into walls. Soriano has already used this defense for his defensive problems. How are SB's overrated when you play on a team that has NO legitimate threat of a stealing a base outside of Ryan Theriot(who's success rate is terrible in his career)? Abreu's approach at the plate has nothing to do with his running.
