    Jake foxs at bat in the first inning really pussed me off. De la Rosa could not find the zone in the first. Went 2-0 on Bradley who swung and missed on 3 straight balls to k, then Lee walks on 4 pitches. So it's been 10 pitches since the last pitch he has thrown in the zone. So how does Foc approach the AB? by swinging at the first 3 pitches in the AB. Then Soriano swings early in the count to end the inning after Geo walks. 5 base runners in 1 2/3 inning. Let's see how many we can get...

    dammit, he should have used the "c'mon we haven't won the world series in 101 and you've won 26" argument.
  3. UMFan83
    Wow, I just read that the Cubs have only won 2 series this year against teams that are currently over .500...the Cardinals and Marlins, both back in April. We need to start beating good teams because we have some big series coming up.
  4. UMFan83
    Like you said it's gonna be hard to do much but if this season doesn't end in making the playoffs the Cubs are going to raid the farm system to convince Lou to stay. I would thin Vitters and co won't be here to start next year. The tough part is wher to upgrade. I'll let someone else decide.

    On the plus side, those runs we got screwed on earlier won't come back to haunt us

    I think this series is punishment for me selling Rockies World Series tickets for $750 over face value in 2007.
  7. UMFan83
    I'd like to know that, too. I can understand 4 and 3, but not 2 and 4. It's absolutely impossible to make an MLB schedule that makes any real sense. The math just doesn't add up. Sure you can. There are 81 home games, so that equates to 27 three-game series. Unless you had all the teams take off days on the same day, its not really that possible. And even then, your always going to have 1 team flying from the east coast to the west coast with no day of rest in between.

    Where are you seeing 4 cards losses there? The Cardinals aren't playing all that well right now so I think 4 losses in 14 games is pretty doable.
  9. UMFan83
    Is it pessimistic of me to say that if we can survive this stretch within 4 games of a playoff spot, I'll think we have a decent shot at the playoffs. The stretch I'm referring to is until the end of the WC trip. Assuming today is a loss... 1@ COL (0-1) 3 v. PHI (1-2) 3 v. PIT (3-0) 3 @ SD (2-1) 4 @ LA (2-2) Cards have 3 v. CIN (2-1) Off day (their 3rd in 10 days) 3 v. SD (3-0) 3 @ LA (2-2) 4 @ SD (3-1) That's 14 games...if the Cubs go 8-6, and the Cardinals go 10-4 (entirely possible with the ease of their schedule), I'll consider us having a good shot at the playoffs with Z and Lilly back most likely, and maybe Reed back.

    It was entirely too predictable. Lou is just petrified of tiring the bullpen out because we don't have an offday for awhile and the Phillies aren't going to make our lives any easier for our starters. I think we need to call up a starter from Iowa to use as a long man for the next few days.
  11. UMFan83
    I didn't know Hurricane Sally has decended over Denver ready to wreck having and get this game called in the 6th inning.
  12. UMFan83
    I'm so glad we burned an out last inning to keep Wells in the game. Kid's got nothing today.
  13. UMFan83
    more like VaGiants....amirite +1 We need an epic Cardinals/Cubs fight like that one and the ARod/Varitek fight a few years ago...preferablly without anyone being struck with bats.
  14. UMFan83
    Almost another error there. Does the thin air make it hard to throw and catch as well?
  15. UMFan83
    Sweet...Baker, Hill, Wells to lead off the 6th
  16. UMFan83
    Hammel just threw 4 straight pitches in the dirt...Soriano swung at 2 of them. Amazingly he made contact with one of them.
  17. UMFan83
    Soriano is just awful. I hate when he just guesses on every pitch.
  18. UMFan83
    2 pitches 2 outs
  19. UMFan83
    Jake Fox's impatience is start to hurt him.
  20. UMFan83
    Good to see the Bulls heavily concentrate their marketing efforts on that series against the Celtics last spring. I'm fine with that, but somebody might want to tell them we lost that series :)
  21. UMFan83
    Home of kidnappers, murderous ball players, a bat s#^$ crazy president and Ozzie Guillen
  22. UMFan83
    We didn't give up a run yet man
  23. UMFan83
    Yeah that guy is currently the 5th OF on the Twins.
  24. UMFan83
    That won't happen until they develop the technology to make the computers able to screw the Cubs consistently.
  25. UMFan83
    I don't know about that call. Could have been a strike, but that double play in the 2nd could have been a fielder's choice. Oh well, 2 runs on 9 hits for the Cubs.
