4/23 Cubs (Maddux) @ Cardinals (Marquis) 1:15 PM WGN TV
UMFan83 replied to Chris's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
With all this talk about the new Cubs offense (including with Lee), the Cubs are 24th in the league in runs scored. That's gotta change if we want to win more then 65 games this year. Actually, I don't care. Win if you want to. If you don't it will only continue a 98 year tradition of losing.... -
BTW, anyone looking for a good game thread to discuss the game, look no further: http://www.basketballboards.net/forum/showthread.php?p=3446262

Heh you do realize that ESPN is the main coverage for the game. ESPN2 is supposed to be different camera angles and analysis during the game and during commercials.
-
It looks pretty obvious that they are demoralized by the loss of Lee. They look flat, and its not that they don't care, but they look completely upset. Screw em, the Cubs weren't goin to win this year anyways.
-
4 runs scored in the first 2 games without Lee.
-
Jones better still be hurt because he just dogged it on that play.

I've tried not being a fan. To my horror, I discovered it's a disease that has no cure. Believe me, if I could escape I would have long ago. I tried to become an Oakland fan the first time Dusty started Neifi this year, but I'm addicted. As much as I hate myself for it, I'm addicted. :) That's actually a good idea. When do Frank Thomas and Co. play today? Focus on the minor leaguers. There is always optimism in the future. No all they provide false hope that the future will be better when in my heart I know its not.
-
See a comment like that shows hope. Stop showing hope, there is none. We will never win.

This would be a 2 game losing streak....... No, I'm assuming the Cubs will go quietly and make this a 2 game losing streak. The 8th inning rally I'm refering to is the one in LA the other day.

-
The Cubs are 1 random 8th inning rally from a 4 game losing streak. In fact come to think of it. If you take away 3 innings this year, the 7th against St Louis (saturday game) the 8th of the Sunday game, and the 8th inning of the LAD game, we'd be 6-10
-
I think I'm going to go on anti-depressants. It's either that or stop being a fan of the Cubs
-
I'd rather have Matt Clement hit cleanup then Ramirez right now
-
I wish I could just black out and wake up the next time the Cubs get to the playoffs. But I'm afraid my body won't hold up until 2089
-
The Cubs suck, I won't truely think they hav a shot at the World Series until the entire organization is washed clean. They need new ownership, new front office all the way down to the manager, hell even change the uniforms and get rid of Wrigley Field.
-
Because people like Corey Patterson are worse
-
The Cubs will never get to the World Series.
-
I hate the Cubs. I am sick of the negativity that surrounds them, I'm sick of hearing about curses, I'm sick of teams always getting the best of us, I'm sick of freak injuries, I'm sick of wondering how good my team would be in 3 of their 4 best players weren't hurt. I'm sick of it all.
-
Remember, G-Unit had 6 innings of Perfect Game ball last year in St. Louis
-
Why the heck would Mabry still live in STL How many "3 baserunners, no runs" innings are we going to have?
-
Gee I wonder why Ramirez got an unintentional intentional with Mabry on deck.
-
I don't understand why they don't skip Glendon and have Z pitch tomorrow. At this point, we don't need any more crappy performances. Z Maddux Marshall Rusch Jerome I mean I realize a rotation of Marshall Rusch and Williams is not idea for any series, but I'd rather finish STL strong and go into FLA with that.

There are several factors aiding the Cubs, many that have been addressed: 1) This Cubs team, despite notable exceptions can put the ball into play, and refrain from striking out a bunch of times 2) If Eyre is ok, the Bullpen is pretty shut down, meaning that A) Starters won't have to labor as much, and B) If the Cubs can get a lead, they can feel confident that they don't need the extra offense. Sure you won't see as many 13-2 games, but you will see several 4-3 games in the Cubs favor 3) The rookies Murton and Cedeno have more then stepped up so far this year. While its not out of the realm that they will regress, so far they have showed no signs of that. Heck, Cedeno even drew 2 walks yesterday 4) The NL is weak, even if the Cubs play slighty under .500 with Lee gone, and the Cardinals play 10 games over .500, the NL Central will still be in reach if the pitchers and Lee are healthy for July-September Bottom line: I'm not saying the Cubs are going to win for sure, no one really knows how much of a loss Lee is to the team. Most people would argue that hes the single most important individual piece on the team. But the team can survive if he can come back in 2-3 months
-
Seemingly 1 out of every 3 Ramirez throws to first strike the dirt before going in Lee's glove... Let's see how Walker does with that.
