    Both would be really stupid moves. Perspective guys.

    Yeah...usually not scoring EVER is not fun to watch. But beyond that, there's nothing interesting... even the players look like they'd rather be anywhere else I hate when people say things like that. When your team is losing you always look like that. When your team is winning you always look like you are playing with a lot of heart. Ehhh....I think it's obvious they're losing focus. Why would they be losing focus?

    San Francisco has only scored 6 runs in their last 5 games. Of course we've scored half of that.

    Bobby Scales is now 0 for his last 14 since Lou said that he has earned himself more playing time.
  7. UMFan83
    3 runs scored in our last 41 innings. Opposing pitchers have a 0.66 ERA against the Cubs over the last 4.5 games.
  8. UMFan83
    Yay, we're finally losing. I was starting to get worried we wouldn't.
  9. UMFan83
    He's looking sharp, but hasn't even lowered his ERA with his performance tonight.
  10. UMFan83
    Derrek Lee has done half as much in one AB as the Cubs offense as a whole has done the last 37 innings.
  11. UMFan83
    Nice job Lee. Looks like the 85% of the board who thought he was washed up might not be correct.
  12. UMFan83
    Nothing like following a 6 game winning streak with potentially a 5+ losing streak. 2 runs in our last 33 innings or 99 outs.
  13. UMFan83
    That was better than any of MJs game winners except game 6 in 1998. What can I say other than I predicted that. It's amazing when superstars can come through like that. I could probably do that new out of every 300 attempts. Props LBG.

    I am happy. I just didn't want to get swept. At this point anything can happn if we somehow steal game 4 but I still think wings in 5
  15. UMFan83
    4-1 series win in 3 OT games? Yup cept I don't know if we get the 1 this time.

    This is the 95 WCF all over again.

    Just sneak one through somehow please hawks.
  19. UMFan83
    Not that bad. Even though some didn't want to admit it, no one expects the Hawks to win this series. Even down 0-2 and tied 3-3 in this one, they've played better than I thought they would/could. Well I didn't really expect the Bulls to beat the Celtics and I was dying on every possession. I can't imagine walking out of the UC tonight and not wanting to hang yourself if they end up losing this game. 1) when the game is acually on it's a much different story than 30 minutes after the game when the adrenaline of the game is over 2) the bulls series was different bc after like 2 games we knew the Bulls were good enough to beat Boston.
  20. UMFan83
    Man going into this game, I thought this was the best chance of getting a win,and we had everything going for us too. I think we can all agree that blowing a 3 goal and losing pretty much means a sweep. Blah.
  21. UMFan83
    I love how we have played at an 87 win pace this year despite injuries to our catcher, first baseman, third baseman (and best overall player), right fielder and ace pitcher, and really really slow starts from 4 starters in our lineup. And people still want to fire everyone including the manager/GM/hitting coach, bench Lee (who is finally picking it up), replacing last years ROY with a career minor leaguer, etc etc. If this was late June, I'd be thinking about some changes. But the season isn't even 25% complete, and our heads are still above the water despite everything that's happened. It's not unheard of for teams to tread water in the first half and make a run in the second half. There is no doubt that collectively we are talented enough to do that very thing. So relax, let the professionals like Hendry identify the key issues that this team is facing, and then make the corresponding moves. I know most think that Jimbo's offseason was a complete failure (and I would mostly agree), but the guy has the resources to address the major problems we have. Making panic moves is not the answer at this time. That's about as optimistic as I can be, so there :)

    Ah, silly me for thinking we were talking about Milton Bradley. My bad. :D Damn iPhone :?

    Cubs win 6-4
  24. UMFan83
    Last year we scored 7, 9 and 1 runs in that park. It's possible to hit there, but its really hard to hit HRs.
  25. UMFan83
    Exactly. If you want to look for a bright spot, Guzman is continuing to make the team confident that they have their 7th inning guy. is patton really going away? i hadn't heard anything about this, other than most of NSBB wanting him gone. We havnt seen the guy in ages. Theres really no need to keep him over Ascanio, who Lou actually seems to almost trust. he's a rule 5 guy, they usually go many games without playing. it's not as simple as sending him down; if he's not on the chicago cubs then he ceases to be in the organization. Why can the Cubs afford to hide a non-prospect in Patton on their bench for the entire year? I mean at best you get a decent reliever somewhere down the road. Yay great. The Cubs have been throwing money at their problems for year, and now all the sudden they can accept having a 24 man team to keep a marginal reliever on their team? Just make a trade with Colorado already.
