I hear people talk about the Bears QB situation all the time but I never hear people give suggestions as to what the Bears could have done about it.
-
You just don't get it...this is not a very good analogy as it relates to the current scenario. -
WTH, Astros are about to win again. They would be alone in second, only 1.5 games behind us if they do hold on.

Post your favorite Cubs forfeit lineup of the last few years

To Dusty's credit, this was one of the games of a DH wasn't it? -
I only said it because he got personal/insulting about it. *shrug* Sorry, I didn't mean to sound snappy. I can just see this becoming a recurring thing, and I don't want to sift though 10 pages of "You're a bad Cubs fan for hating Edmonds" every day.
-
God, stop using that word. It makes you sound so bitter/pathetic. Personally, I think the guys hating on a Cubs player so hard are the ones that sound bitter/pathetic. Well thats your perogative. Can we all just agree that some people are not going to ever like Edmonds, while others will. There is no need to have 10 pages wasted every game thread to calling everyone out on being a good/bad Cubs fan because of who they cheer for.

We own the Gorzzzzz -
Cubs winning % without Edmonds: .600 Cubs winning % with Edmonds: 1.000 It's a .400 boost with Edmonds in there. That said, I still hate him.
-
Oh gosh, Dempster in the 9th. Prepare for an implosion the likes we haven't seen since last season.
-
Dempster's Game Score today is 84, which would be the 4th best pitched game this year in the NL.
-
Wow 16 base runners 4 runs today.
-
To be fair, the Ramirez situation was not his fault, and Ramirez would have scored on his single. I know, but I want to make the numbers for Edmonds look as bad as possible.
-
So today Edmonds has come up with 8 runners on base, 7 of them in scoring position, and none of them have scored?
-
For the people predicting HRs every time Edmonds comes up - have you seen his SLG the last 2 years?
-
I'm so conflicted. 3 of my Cubs heros on base. One jerk at the plate. What to do?
-
The Cubs having the lead makes rooting for Jim Edmonds to fail a lot easier.
-
How long until Izzy is DL'd or DFA'd?
-
He's up to 56 IP with 22 runs allowed (15 earned, but a high UER total is a great sign of your stats making you look better than you are). I think that's within the range of a very mediocre pitcher on a hot streak. Disagree. Dempster is no star, but he's always had pretty good stuff with control issues. I am definitely stunned that his ERA is at 2.50 (and obviously the UER's go a long way in making up the difference in expecations), but I think a 3.50 ERA for the season is not out of the question. Then again, if he slumps and his control suffers....and I realize his BABIP and LD% are up there a bit, he could go back to being a very mediocre pitcher.
-
Dempster has thrown quite a bit of pitches this inning. The CG might be out of the question now
-
Yeah I know, right. Reed Johnson would NEVER leave 4 men on base! Doesn't matter. Edmonds starts with 2 strikes on him in most Cub fans minds.
-
4 run inning or 4+ run inning? If the latter, we scored 5 runs and 6 runs in an inning on Monday..
-
A double and 2 singles. Total runs scored: 0
-
We should have scored like 2 runs that inning.
-
Who?

C'mon Hank
