haha @ the thought of the Cubs scoring runs No matter how many times the Cubs look like crap offensively and then come from behind late to win, people still think the game is over when its 3-0 in the 5th. Our best hitter just got hurt. Fuku and Soriano are basically all we have left. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/LAN/LAN200604190.shtml -
Or how about last year was a fluke? It's definitely possible. I'm just trying to stay positive here and think of reasons why he might be struggling.

Is Demp pitching 200+ innings last year after 3 straight years as a closer catching up to him?
-
C'mon lets get out of this inning and put together a couple of runs to match them next inning.
-
Man this team isn't playing well at all right now. Dempster has pitched pretty poor this season. He's quickly becoming the pitcher we thought he'd be last year....a 6IP 4 ER kinda guy
-
2-0 Cardinals, runner on 3rd 0 outs
-
Ramirez left the game according to Len and Bob. We have no one good in the lineup anymore. I guess Fuk
-
1 in 25
-
Wow that's a kinda weird play
-
C'mon Demp, give Theriot a chance with a couple of RISPs
-
There you go Geo.

Fontenot just looks awful. He's getting worse out there. I hate the hell out of Aaron Miles, but he might be a better option out there. Tony Thomas might be a better option that Fonty.
-
1 run scored in the last 24 innings. I almost wish we didn't score in yesterday's game, just so it looked that much more futile.
-
1 run scored in the last 21 innings. Lets keep the tally going.
-
Completely irrational judgement of the lineup based on 3 hitters: FAILED
-
That's a tough strike call there. If they're giving him that and he's hitting that spot, we're in trouble.
-
So only him and Lee wouldn't have been able to take that out? Ooooooooo
-
He crushed that one as far as he could hit it
-
I love playing the Cardinals in St. Louis. The games just always seem bigger. Game on!
-
I would say that anytime you fall behind the Pirates in the standings, no matter the juncture of the season, "Cobs" is fair game.
-
Badass. Then who the hell is jumping out of wheelchairs to play?
-
So now the news in the Chicago papers is that Bradley isn't close to returning and might have to go on the DL this weekend. Since he played on Wednesday, he would have to sit until May 7th until he is eligable to return. I say just do it and good riddance. Give him more than enough time to get healthy and hope he can play a couple of weeks before his next injury. Remember when the original estimate was 3-5 days?

You also have to consider that Soto was injured for 1/3 of the season so far. I'm willing to give him longer to start hitting because of that. That said, I'm not sure that Soto is going to be a consistent .868 OPS hitter. First 39 games: .328/.433/.620/1.053 Last 102 games: .269/.336/.459/.795 After a blazing hot start, he settled into an around .800 OPS hitter. Hell, but that with solid D and the rest of the Cubs lineup, I'm satisfied as all hell. I just think people here expect him to put up a .850+ OPS and personally I'm not sure if its likely. Maybe people will disagree. He did have an exceptionally good August last year in the midst of his .795 OPS in the remaining 102 games, so there is some evidence that he can do it.

I heard a pop once. That damn clown that sprung up scared the crap out of me.
