  1. Cubs should be, at the worst, three back of Milwaukee right now because they should have swept this series. And this doesn't even include the blown 4-0 and 5-1 (the Mets' five run ninth game) leads in two of the games against the Mets and the game where they gave up 6 in the bottom of the seventh against the Phillies. This is absolutely pathetic. The Brewers are trying to give the damn division away and the Cubs can't take advantage of it. The Brewers are 4-12 since sweeping the Nationals on May 9. Since then, the Cubs are 6-11. They should be 11-6 and tied for first place right now.
  2. So because the bullpen sucks, Lou must walk on eggshells and bring in the exact perfect person or he's an idiot? The perfect person of course being Howry or Ohman, every single time. Never mind that a strategy like that will send those 2 to the DL by July. This makes no sense. Eyre sucks, he's on the team. Either get him off the team, or Lou will have to use him. Period, end of story. Well, he doesn't have to use him. Lou chose to bring him in in the eight today but he didn't have to.
  3. The ball looked like it bounced and then hit Pierre.
  4. Good lord that was pathetic. This damn game shouldn't have even gone to extra innings.
  5. Why not just have Guzman intentionally walk Furcal? Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
  6. I learned this when I was nine. You make sure the runner does not advance.
  7. Well, this thing is just about over.
  8. Why is Marmol warming up? Guzman should be okay for at least another inning or two.
  9. Well, at least Broxton is out of the game.
  10. 1 win-the game against Washington at home. Yup. Game 3 sweep. I was there, and I won tickets to it. That was the Ward hit over the leftfielder, right?
  11. We had a chance until Lou decided to pull Hill after 69 pitches in the 6th. I didn't see the first part of the game. Why was Hill pulled so soon? Cause our manager is a jackass probably any manager would have made that move. Noway In a 0-0 game? Most would do the same thing.
  12. so you're saying in this scenario, that there will be a groundout, single, then double play? Probably a pretty good bet.
  13. you were close Do I get a prize? A Cubs loss today.
  14. If, and that's a big if, the Cubs get to the tenth, they'll have Theriot, Lee, Barrett up.
  15. The only good thing about this situation is that Eyre has already pitched today.
  16. Floyd got lucky on that one. Both on the swing and location. Doesn't matter he struck out anyway.
  17. Leadoff walks are nice. So how are the Cubs going to blow this opportunity...double play...maybe a hit, a botched sac bunt, then a double play? Either way, it has to involve a double play.
  18. Not to completely take the blame off of Eyre but that HR shouldn't matter that much. Cubs had 2nd and 3rd with no outs in the fifth and couldn't score. Isn't the average number of runs scored in that situation 1.6 or something like that? Runner on 2nd with one out in the sixth and couldn't score. The first three batters in the eighth all single and the Cubs only get one run. It should be 3-1 or 4-1 Cubs right now. Not saying Eyre doesn't deserve blame for sucking but that HR shouldn't have had an effect on the game.
  19. Why can't the Cubs just say Eyre strained his back reaching for a donut and put him on the DL. They put Miller on the DL just because he sucked so why can't they do the same with Eyre?
