  1. Half the lineup struck out. Not half of them took cuts as ugly as Pie's Cubs fans who believe things like this deserve everything the Cubs have given them over the last 63 seasons. lol
  2. Half the lineup struck out. Not half of them took cuts as ugly as Pie's
  3. How anyone can say that Pie is ready to contribute in the major leagues is beyond me. Hey, we all want him to succeed, but he's just not a smart enough hitter right now.
  4. That was MURDERED. Soto should be hitting 4th right now...
  5. What did he do wrong? He gave up softly hit single into the shift. If the shift isn't on, its an easy out. Then he gave up a lightly hit IF hit that was perfectly placed. He followed that by ending the inning by inducing a picture perfect DP ball. When that was botched, he did walk someone, but then gave up a soft bloop single into center to score 2.
  6. The only good out of this is hopefully Hendry will realize that we desperately need starting pitching help. Of course he should have recognized that last season instead of resting on the laurels of an amazingly flukey season by the staff as a whole.
  7. LOL! 3-0 and not a single hard hit ball!
  8. As a Cobs fan, do you ever turn on a game and feel a win? I did 2 weeks ago.
  9. It wasn't down the middle, but it wasn't all that different than Theriot's K pitch in the top half.
  10. I don't know about you guys, but when I turned on the game today, I just saw a loss coming. Today just feels like a loss. Anyways, putting Dempster in situations where he has to throw strikes against moderately patient hitters is not good.
  11. 1-0 on three gently hit ground balls and a walk!
  12. As you have defined them, the CUbs will win about 10 games. The CObs will show up for part of the month and win 3 more (with 8 losses)
  13. .294/.377/.449/.826 career against lefties He's like a clone of Reed Johnson.
  14. Simon swung at everything, Ward doesn't swing at hardly anything. Polar opposites. Well yeah but they are both big, black lefthanders so..
  15. Just wanted to point out we will probably be missing Webb this weekend. He is scheduled to throw Thusday. It's looking like Haren, Scherzer and Mr. "12-0 1.98 ERA lifetime vs. Cubs" Randy Johnson
  16. Simon struck out in roughly 9% of his ABs during his entire career. Soriano has struck out in roughly 22% of his ABs during his entire career. I think a better Simon comparison would be Vlad (obviously despite the huge talent gap). Vlad is a bad ball hitter but strikes out only 12% of the time.
  17. the khalils are 12-20 i piss my pants thinking about that matchup Except, we'll almost certainly face Peavy and/or Young so they will shut us down and we will lose.
  18. I think alot of people have been saying this since we signed him. I read in the Trib that Cedeno was taking fly balls in CF before the game. Hopefully this means he will take over and platoon with Pie
  19. Well we are facing Harang, Cueto and Voloquez so yeah. 1 out of 3 would be lucky.
  20. O RLY? Hey, we are undefeated in the middle game of the last five 3 game series
  21. Thats the 5th time we've got the leadoff man on in the game. We scored in 2 of those innings, and in the other 3 we didn't move the runner over even one base.
  22. My roommate is arguing that Lou has done nothing outrageously wrong this season. Can you guys help me think of examples?
  23. It took the Cubs 4 pitches to Cub themselves out of a bases loaded 0 outs situation.
