    Must they swing at the first pitch all the time? Jacque's showing the most patience this inning.

    SORIANO!!!

    Hopefully this tennis match I'm covering doesn't last too long so I can be back to watch this game.

    Well, the next week should be interesting. Both teams have seven games at NYM and PHI (the Cubs have 4 and 3 while the Brewers have 3 and 4, respecitively) do lets hope the NL East can bring them back to earth.

    I still can't figure out why Lou called that. Jones racks up plenty of strikeouts as it is and that was a pitch he couldn't do anything with. The best result he could have gotten with that pitch was a foul ball out of play; that's pretty much it. I'm concerned with Lou's style of managing. While I don't think he's as prone to stupid and head-scratching decisions as previous managers, I think he tries too hard to micromanage the game. Part of this might have to do with a lack of familiarity with his players' strengths and weaknesses, which is understandable, but if this trend continues, I won't be too happy with it. I could understand it with Lee batting because you can be fairly certain he's going to make contact if you need him to. But not Jacque.

    You've obviously forgotten who Ronny Cedeno is. Cedeno's had his fair share of games, but Jones played absolutely abysmal out there. Probably the worst "performance" we've had from a position player this season. Yes Jones was bad today but he can't touch a couple of Cedeno's performances. April 17 vs SD, 0-5, 2 K's April 22 vs STL, 0-5, 3 K's. Cedeno looks like he's never had a bat in his hands before when he's up at the plate. Yeah, those are both awful games. But a key DP in a big spot in the 8th and a huge error (at the time) in extras was pretty bad as well. Not to mention the failed H&R and you have an awful game. The hit and run is Lou's fault. There was no reason to make that call with Barrett running. The double play was just bad luck that he hit it right at the first baseman. If that ball gets through, you're singing a different tune right now. Or even if the first baseman makes an error on the play (whether fielding or throwing home) and Lee scores. Cedeno striking out and just looking lost at the plate doesn't even allow for that to happen. EDIT: And I'm sure Cedeno came up in big spots in both of those games - which the Cubs lost both of - and didn't come through either. Touche. How about this, all three games were horrendous and we leave it at that?

    Yup, With runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs there's no reason you shouldn't get at least one run home.

    How that the Cubs would go down 1-2-3 in the bottom of that inning. Too predictable.
  12. soccer10k
    Way to end a perfectly good winning streak you stupid losers. Should have won this game 2 hours ago.
  13. soccer10k
    -12.
  14. soccer10k
    Ugh. Going to the 15th.
  15. soccer10k
    Come on Cubs. Just end this stupid game.
  16. soccer10k
    I'm going to work at the end of this inning so the Cubs better score. But I'm not counting on it.
  17. soccer10k
    Why hit and run there? What's the point?
  18. soccer10k
    Ugh.
  19. soccer10k
    Another leadoff hitter on. CAPITALIZE YOU IDIOTS!!
  20. soccer10k
    GREAT THROW BY SORIANO!!!
  21. soccer10k
    Are you kidding me?
  22. soccer10k
    Better come through here Murton.
  23. soccer10k
    Riot steals second. This is the last inning I'm going to watch. If the Cubs don't score here, I don't want to watch the rest of the game.
  24. soccer10k
    Leadoff single for Riot.
  25. soccer10k
    Cherry gets out of it. ROCKY!! ROCKY!! ROCKY!!
