What did Lou do now?? -
This. Given the really good starting pitching and the fact the Cubs are still a game under .500 just shows how wildly inconsistent the offense has been. On a different note, the Cubs (and Tigers) have played the most AWAY games so far to start the season. Not certain if it means anything....but if you're gonna get off to a slow start, I'd rather the losses come on the road. Protect the home turf!
-
Nice offensive start.
-
Shocker there! :roll:
-
I'm guessing and ARam-K or ARam-doubleplay.
-
Looks like Olsen is pitching tonight for the Nats. So it will be Lannan, Hernandez and Atilano. Lannan and Hernandez have both been pretty solid against the Cubs over their careers. No gimmes there.
-
I'd be happy with a winning the next two series, or a win and a split. Baby steps.
-
J.R. Who's in the avatar.....Morales??
-
Wonder if Z pitches the same in the 8th with only a 2-run lead.
-
Who's copmplaining about Grabow???? 2/3 of an inning and no runs!! [-X http://timesfour.com/x4graemlins/icon_rofl2.gif
-
What happened?????
-
Why the hell did Lou bat with Lilly then? Sac Bunt attempt I assume.
-
Looks like Lou is saving Z for the 8th or if the Brewers get men on base in the 7th. Why not just pitch Z the next two innings????
-
Is Z warming up yet?
-
Did someone say Navin??? THE Navin Johnson??? http://www.impawards.com/1979/posters/jerk.jpg
-
I hope so. Leaving a 1 run lead to this bullpen for 4 innings would be frightening. I think if the Cubs are leading and it's close, Z pitches all the way until the 9th, assuming he's effective.
-
Why was it stupid to leave Marshall in for more than 1 inning??? he's not a loogy, and he's been effective in the pen. tonight, he just happened to be better in the 7th than the 8th.
-
Why Marmol? I know he hasn't pitched in a couple of days, but isn't this the perfect time for one of the rookies or even Shark?
-
THREE walks for Soto and on base all 5 times!!!! Sweet!!
-
White Sox marketing department has "African American Greek Night" on May 7th (then the obligatory camera shot of a black couple). Aren't you really, really limiting your perspective clientele on that one??? :scratch:
-
Why do I see Marmol coming into this game?? Can't we ever win games easily???
-
They need to put hawks call at the end of buerhreehrle's perfect game in a time capsule for a later reminder of what not to do in the booth. Three run homer by the Rays after two consecutive BBs. Hawk bitching as if 2 lf the 3 runs shouldn't count because the batters reached via BB. It's really fun to listen to in a weird kinda way!! :rotfl:
-
For what it's worth....when the Cubs are sucking, it's always fun to flip on the White Sox, especially when they're losing. Hawks rants are pure genius!!!! :-)) Complaining that Buehrle shouldn't be charged with 3 of the 6 ER he gave up because of a "team error" (foul ball not caught by Konerko or Beckham). While his logic is correct, his bitterness is classic stuff!

Make 'em put the ball in play, hard hits or otherwise. There's 9 fielders to make a play (countdown to a Soriano comment). Beats giving hitters a free base via walks!! They're not "just outs." It's the same as looking at a hitter who has been largely unlucky because they're hitting the ball hard but right at defenders. If a pitcher is getting wailed on for several innings it's not a good sign even if they're almost all loud outs. It's much more encouraging to see him have something like the 4th as opposed to guys continuing to see him well. Agreed. And I'd still rather see the other team hit to get on as opposed to free passes. As evidenced by this game, loud outs are....outs.
