    Why the hell do you send Howry out there for the 3rd day in a row?? I know the bullpen is short but I'd think that there were better options out there.
  2. UMFan83
    And thats a soul crushing, season ending loss. I know its only June but any positive momentum we could have had is long gone.

    Izturis is going to drive in a run with his glove....only for the rockies
  4. UMFan83
    @#$@$@$# PAGAN!
  5. UMFan83
    NICE! Cubs bring hitting sticks tonight! Now here comes the rest of the order...
  6. UMFan83
    Darn....well if DeRosa doesn't get on, at least we are swinging the bats decently, but I cant help but think we wasted a good scoring chance
  7. UMFan83
    Well a baserunning gaffe squashes a potential scoring opportunity again.
  8. UMFan83
    Yay, good work
  9. UMFan83
    Has Bowen thrown out a base stealer yet?
  10. UMFan83
    This offense reminds me a lot of the Marlins 2003 offense. With a little more pitching this team could be a world series contender
  11. UMFan83
    I would say so. Considering Dempster isn't available today, and Marquis isn't exactly known for his quality starts as of late, its quite a gamble to leave 10 pitchers available for this game, meaning that there has to be some good reason why a roster move wasn't made
  12. UMFan83
    I don't think anyone said that. I said that if we won 2, I'd be ecstatic. It definitely doesn't look likely though. But that's why we play the games I guess
  13. UMFan83
    Aramis' injuries are just something that we have to live with. I will take 120 games of 35+ HR 100 RBI production a year. It's not like we usually have to worry about having him healthy for the playoffs anyways.
  14. UMFan83
    C'mon the Cubs are 7.5 games out of first. It's not like we are battling back and forth for first place. I am assuming the Brewers aren't even looking to this weekend as a 'big series'
  15. UMFan83
    We are facing their 2 best pitchers in this series. I don't like our odds. If we win 2 of 3 I'll be ecstatic.
  16. UMFan83
    I completely forgot about Angel Guzman...thats so weird. I guess thats what happens when the pen has been throwing the way it has.
  17. UMFan83
    Are the Rockies really that irrelevant? I've heard people for the past month underestimating the teams talent. This is a good team and a tough series for us.
  18. UMFan83
    Maroth = 2007 Jeff Weaver. I'm calling it.
  19. UMFan83
    Details? Check out the game thread after the 2nd inning. I didn't hear it but apparently he was cussing and calling the Cubs minor leaguers. For some reason Gameday Audio didn't cut the mics after the Rangers scored 3 runs and Ronnie started ranting (leads me to believe this happens on the regular). You could apparently hear a woman's voice say "Ronnie, stop it" after his rant as well.

    If you don't vote for Jon, he will ban you. He told me himself. Sorry Slugger
  21. UMFan83
    Funny how all the vance voters are vocal about it, but the CM voters have been fairly quiet.
  22. UMFan83
    Is there any chance that the Cubs can fire Hendry at midseason? It's against the Cubs best interests to make sure that he does not make a bunch of bad moves that jeopardize the future of the team in a desperate attempt to save his job. Or would the impending sale make the Cubs reluctant to pay a fired Hendry and a new GM at the same time?
  23. UMFan83
    It has been over since they went on that six game losing streak. It was over when Hendry decided that Izturis could be a starting SS, Jones could be a starting RF, and we could get by with Jason Marquis as a starter. We were doomed from the start of the season. The season isn't over. It's not over, but you need to start considering it to be severely damaged when you are 8.5 games out in late June.
  24. UMFan83
    How the heck are we going to rebuild? Who is going to take on Lilly, Marquis, Soriano, Howry, Eyre, DeRosa? We have tons of bad contracts that aren't going anywhere. We are stuck as an overpaid mess of a team for the next 2-3 years.
  25. UMFan83
    8.5 out
