  1. Great, isn't it? This is what it looks like when you are legitimately one of the best teams in baseball, not just a decent team hoping 88 wins is enough to sneak into the playoffs. Compare that to the Cardinals who have lost 9: 2 of them are 1 run games 2 of them have been 2 run games 5 of them have been by more than 2 runs
  2. What does everyone think Fukudome's final line this year will be? Remember to try to balance out your surely pessmistic thoughts of him right now. .295/.398/.412 is my guess.
  3. It's amazing how we are usually in every game this year. In May we have lost 7 games: 3 of them have been 1 run games 3 of them have been 2 run games (all 3 of them by the score of 5-3) 1 of them has been more than 2 run games (9-0 to the Reds)
  4. It's amazing that we've managed to score 15 runs with absolutely 0 hits from our 3-4-5 hitters this series. That makes it 0-26 from Lee, Ramirez, Fukudome this weekend.
  5. 0-24 for Lee, Ramirez, Fukudome this series.
  6. Haha, I thought that was gone. Hey Marquis, the secret to success is NOT FALLING BEHIND 2-0 AND 3-1 TO EVERY DAMN HITTER.
  7. I hear you. But I also hate when they lose during a hard week. At least on the weekend you don't have to goto work the next day (except today)
  8. 0-10 for Lee 0-7 for ARam 0-5 for Fukudome 0-22 combined this series.
  9. When is Lee going to get a day off? He's actually hurting the team right now big time.
  10. When is the last time Cedeno swung at the first pitch? It seems like every AB they throw him a first pitch strike and he takes it. I'm definitely not complaining, don't worry.
  11. What will get him to make a change? Maybe if Marquis agrees to void the last year of his contract.
  12. Marquis needs to stop playing baseball for the Chicago Cubs.
  13. I think we should refer to Marquis as "2-0" since that's how he seems to prefer every AB to start.
  14. And why are we benching DeRosa tomorrow, who just had a day off on Thursday and has been quite hot the last 8 games he's started? plus derosa's 3 year splits against LHP are .314/.385/.509/.894. I didnt realise this guy was a lefty. Soriano Cedeno Soto Ramirez Lee Fuku Edmonds DeRosa Marcrap Why would you put Edmonds into the game knowing hes a lefty, while you have him out of the lineup when you thought he was a righty?
  15. If Soto's foot doesn't catch Paulino's? If Soto's passed ball doesnt lead to a run? (I'm not trying to pick on Soto, I swear) If our best starter pitched like an ace? If our best reliever pitched like the shutdown pitcher he is? There are a lot of what ifs. It's really not a big deal. Teams lose games all the time. This particular loss we just happened to have multiple failures from our normally reliable players.
  16. Not as close as it looked/sounded. Nady caught it at the edge of the track. Proverbial extra biscuit for breakfast and all that. I don't think it was that close, but then again Nady did move in quickly at the last second to catch it. Looks like the wind got some of it.
  17. And even after that horrible loss the Cubs will be 8 games over .500 and in first place in the central.
  18. Both losses on the homestand featured favorable pitching matchups and one run losses.
  19. Any everybody hates your constant whining and overreactions. lol, he hit one hard to the warning track, what more do you want?
  20. I think it was gone with no wind I don't know, it was hit too low IMO
  21. If Lee homers here, it makes up for the 0-8 start to the series.
  22. Can he play SS? Fontenot, DeRosa and Cedeno have already been used.
