Chicago Cubs

[TapNorris]

Here comes Worst.

[Tiduwho]

Why are the Nationals being so patient? Just throw it down the gut, who cares. These guys are BUMS.

[weller3377]

Lilly
6IP, 4 hits, 2 ER, 7 K's, 109 pitches
Not to bad if he could have got some run support

[devilandthelord]

Are the cubs seriously gonna let these losers shut them out?

[TapNorris]

Are the cubs seriously gonna let these losers shut them out?

It appears so. What a joke!

[saygdbye4134]

wow, way to make the nationals look awesome!!!

i expect alot more come tuesday on the homestand.

[weller3377]

Are the cubs seriously gonna let these losers shut them out?

we haven't been shut out yet this season. Let hope we can keep it that way in the top of the 9th

[Robby1870]

Fuck.

[TapNorris]

That was a God awful offensive performance!

[weller3377]

damn that was an aweful series. I need to see how many runner we left on during the two games we lost. it seems like it was about 50

[UCFish]

Games one and three were pretty awful. Just pathetic clutch hitting.

Losing 2 out of 3 to the nationals upsets me.

[UCFish]

damn that was an aweful series. I need to see how many runner we left on during the two games we lost. it seems like it was about 50

I would say the amount at third with less than 2 outs must be around 10.

[weller3377]

1st game - 10 LOB, 8 with 2 outs
2nd game - 11 LOB, 6 with 2 outs
3rd game - 8 LOB with, 2 with 2 outs

[devilandthelord]

We should at least take the series from the Nationals and if we're playing well sweep them.
To lose the series is very bad.

It's early. The Sox just got swept by the Rays. Every team has a bad series now and then.

[gocubsgo3822]

Lets just play good ball vs. thge brewers.

Sheets v. Marquis
Suppan v. Dempster
Gallardo V. Z

Tough matchups except for game two... Need to pitch well

[Robby1870]

After douching it up against the Nats, I think this off-day will be very helpful.

[weller3377]

totally agree. it has been awhile since a day off, some rest is much deserved.

[kurz41]

Going to the game tomorrow! I am going w/ a good buddy of mine from Milwaukee who's a Brewer fan, though. We're gonna be in the bleachers. I told him it was in his best interest to not wear any Brewer apparel...if he does, he's on his own. :lol

When it comes to a tirade parade, former Cubs manager Lee Elia is in a class by himself.

Thanks to an expletive-filled rant 25 years ago Tuesday when he chastised Cubs fans.

Elia committed the all-time error of protecting his players from people who ultimately paid his salary -- Cubs fans -- though he had every right to be angry that they were firing bottles and garbage at Keith Moreland and Larry Bowa, two hotheads who engaged the crowd with shoves and barbs after a 4-3 loss dropped the team record to 5-14.

Thus launched the most infamous and enduring rant in Chicago sports history, some distinction in a town that has employed such characters as Mike Ditka, the '85 Bears, the Blizzard of Oz, Dennis Rodman, Norm Van Lier and Bryan Cox. Da Coach may have thrown a thousand tantrums and Guillen may have slurred half the civilized world, but they've never lost their lids to the point of taking on a home crowd. Not only did Elia do precisely that, in an era before Wrigley Field was marketed as a party-hardy funhouse, but the manager became profoundly personal by stereotyping 9,391 afternoon fans with socio-economic insults and mixing his tirade with 54 profanities, including 45 of the 'f' variety.

Audio of the Legendary Rant: http://users.rcn.com/pkatcher/audio/LeeEliaTirade.mp3

[kurz41]

Maybe I'll see him at the ballpark today.

[JaJunk]

Demp on the bump tonight. And I love that article on Elia. :thumbsup Cubs fans are the best.

[weller3377]

Let's hope Demp can keep it.

[weller3377]

Actually Cubs.com and ESPN have Marquis vs Sheets tonight. Tough matchup, lets hope we can get to ole Benny boy

[gocubsgo3822]

Its Marquis vs. Sheets. Cubs are +1.5 I like the Cubs..

[Ev42]

hope we get out of this mini slump tonight.

[devilandthelord]

Must be Cubs vs. Brewers today.
As the parking lot at the metra station was completely full.

Which really isn't so bad, because then you get to make your own spot, and don't have to pay!

[devilandthelord]

Going to the game tomorrow! I am going w/ a good buddy of mine from Milwaukee who's a Brewer fan, though. We're gonna be in the bleachers. I told him it was in his best interest to not wear any Brewer apparel...if he does, he's on his own. :lol

Dude, you're gonna freeze tonight!

Good luck and Go Cubs tho!

[Tiduwho]

Let's get em tonight.

[Robby1870]

Bases juiced for Marquis.

I wish I could watch this game instead of the watching the Reds getting shellacked by the Cards.

[devilandthelord]

Sacks are packed!

[weller3377]

nice Reed. Glad to actually see a deep sac fly. 2-1 good guys

[DMBZeppelin]

I hope to god Pie is ok, I think we need him. Light bulb is starting to turn on for him. Plus his defense, arm, and speed as a pinch runner can't be over looked. If his recent success at the plate was for real. We'd have 4 outfielders I'd have no problem starting.

In fact I like Reed in LF, and Pie in CF with Reed leading off more so then I like Soriano in the lineup.

[weller3377]

Felix still and looking alright. WHEW!!!!!

[Robby1870]

Totally agree. I get so frustrated watching Soriano hit. Take a pitch every now and then, it's not a PS2 game, you can't hit every pitch out of the yard.

[Iamnotafatgirl]

So what is this on-field delay?

[bothedmbfan]

Honestly, I don't like Soriano in the outfield, I'd much rather him playing second.

[Tiduwho]

Honestly, I don't like Soriano in the outfield, I'd much rather him playing second.

No way, he's God awful at 2nd. At least in left, he can mow down one guy after another at the plate.



Home Run D LEE!!! Too bad no one was on base.

[Tiduwho]

Let's capitalize on these errors now guys, tie the thing up!!!

[devilandthelord]

Dammit I just realized the train home from work is gonna be full of retarded-drunk Cubs and Brewers fans.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love nothing more than to be in their shoes, but I just don't like being around them when I'm sober as the pope.

[41ravens]

fontenot! hope is not lost, gang!

[Tiduwho]

Man, this ump has been an inconsistent POS tonight. Jeez.

[DMBZeppelin]

Honestly, I don't like Soriano in the outfield, I'd much rather him playing second.
Soriano is one of the worst second basemen I've ever seen. He's much better suited for the outfield.

[DMBZeppelin]

Will we ever win again?

[Tiduwho]

Will we ever win again?

No.


And I reitterate: why the hell is Kevin Hart allowed to pitch? I don't hate him at all, I have no ill will towards him. But he's just a rook, and he can't pitch in 38 degree weather obviously. Just let Marshall and Lieber pitch in the mid innings.


I know I shouldn't be saying this, but I wish we had Fat Scott Eyre back...

[gocubsgo3822]

First of all just hope that Kurz42 had a fun time... that being said i am glag fonzie is coming back on thursday. we need him. Here needs to be our lineup.

Soriano
Pie
Lee
Ramirez
Dome (sucks) yea i said it
Soto
Derosa
Cedeno

[weller3377]

Man, this ump has been an inconsistent POS tonight. Jeez.

He was pretty bad.

Need to win tomorrow to take the lead back outright

[UCFish]

Need a win bad tommorow.

[clayj41]

We got Dempster and Z on the mound these next 2 games. That's best case scenario.

[UCFish]

We got Dempster and Z on the mound these next 2 games. That's best case scenario.

:thumbsup

[gocubsgo3822]

i hope we teabag the brewers tomorrow....

[Robby1870]

I kinda expected the Brewers to come out swinging with Cameron coming back last night, but I didn't expect 10 run on what 17?? hits? Let's hope Demp is up to the challenge tonight.

[devilandthelord]

Dear Cubs,

Remember when we had that awesome winning streak going like a week ago?
Yeah that was great. Much better than this losing thing we seem to have been doing a lot of lately. Lets go back to winning more than losing. Cool?
Kthnxbye,
Ryan

[DMBtheStoned]

Go Cubs!

[devilandthelord]

Going to another game next saturday I just found out!

Hooray!

[UCFish]

I may be going to that game as well.

[devilandthelord]

I may be going to that game as well.

Vs. the D'Backs, right?

Cool. You'll have to let me know. I'll buy ya a beer.

[41ravens]

so, does espn blackout games? cause all i'm getting is espnews. and it's pissing me off.

[41ravens]

wow, i guess they do. that's fuckin' stupid. well, enjoy the game. i'll be watching it on espn gamecast.

[41ravens]

now that's how you start a game!

[Robby1870]

Badass!!! Demp even got a 1B!!

[bothedmbfan]

I'm loving this club. The Cubs truly are a way of life.

[devilandthelord]

The Cubs are giving out a good ole' fashioned thumping tonight!

Nice to see Soto getting another HR and 3 RBI. I want him to make the all-star team. God knows he deserves it.

[bothedmbfan]

Seeing Cuban talk about the Cubs, and how much his face lit up while he did...I REALLY want him to buy our team.


Also, anyone see Dempster wearing a fucking jacket when he was running to second after he got on first in his first at bat?

[davehead86]

Marc Cuban is in attendance tonight. Good things to come ... ?

[Robby1870]

Yeah, Cuban was even wearing a Cubs jacket. Coincidence that Cuban shows up for a game that it is on ESPN??

[clayj41]

This is what I like to see! :multi

[UCFish]

Yeah this is much better.

[bothedmbfan]

I'm not embarassed to say that these guys are making me bounce around the house like a fucking schoolgirl.

[clayj41]

Soto Gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :multi

[bothedmbfan]

Averaging only 3 runs an inning? Pathetic...

[davehead86]

Lets just hope we can keep winning those close games, last night was one of those close losses that we need to try and avoid this year (obviously we are going to loose some).


But this is def a fun game to watch. :bounce

[davehead86]

Averaging only 3 runs an inning? Pathetic...

:lol :lol :lol :lol

[UCFish]

Damn I took a quick shower and missed Soto jacking another one.

[devilandthelord]

Holy shit! 6 RBI for Soto.

Somebody get that man a long-term contract! If he doesn't already have one, that is. And if he does, make it longer!

[DMBtheStoned]

Just got home and saw the score!

[UCFish]

Keep piling them on.

[TapNorris]

This is great!! I can't stop watching!!

[HolyCow]

What a beat down.

I love it.

[UCFish]

Turnbow was BAD.

[TapNorris]

What a beat down.

I love it.


It's great to do it to the brewers...It would be even better to do it to the cards this weekend.

[TapNorris]

Do the brewers have 19 relief pitchers? Seems like they have a new name every time they go to the pen.

[DMBZeppelin]

They're back... 19-5 this is the Cubs I'm used to.

[devilandthelord]

Damn. 19 runs.

Looks like everybody got in on the action tonight.

[HolyCow]

So I'm trying for the life of me to find a majestic Ryan Theriot shirt. Ebay doesn't have any. Any help there?

[Iamnotafatgirl]

I hate watching Cubs vs. Brewrs games up here in Wisconsin. Listening to the Brewers commentators is nothing short of torture. Thankfully, the Brewers fan will be quite here in Milwaukee tomorrow.

[gocubsgo3822]

Seriously i almost felt bad for Turnbow. I feel like after a while it was like that Brittney kid.... Leave Derrick Turnbow alone!!!!

Good win.. Soto is an animal

[HolyCow]

So I'm trying for the life of me to find a majestic Ryan Theriot shirt. Ebay doesn't have any. Any help there?
Nevermind. I didn't realize you could customize shirts on majestic.com

Unless someone knows where to find one cheaper than 25 bucks...

[clayj41]

Now that's baseball!!! :hump

[gocubsgo3822]

i had turnbow on my roster tonight

[JaJunk]

I'm sure this was a typo, but i got a kick out of it. :lol Brewers "fan" lol

[clayj41]

i had turnbow on my roster tonight

In the 2.0 league? :D

[gocubsgo3822]

yes in the 2.0 a hole :(

[clayj41]

yes in the 2.0 a hole :(

Excellent!!! :evil

[bothedmbfan]

Fucking embarassing. Avg only 2.11 runs per inning? Is this fucking little leauge? I thought we were a pro-fucking-team. I guess not. Fire Lou Pinella, and let's sell the team to the guy who owns the Royals. I've never been sadder to don a Cubs cap in my life.

[saygdbye4134]

best part about last night's game on ESPN HD?

it was blacked out.

i don't even get blackouts let alone am i willing to sit through one when my team is destroying the brewers.

amen brother. fuck blackouts. yet another reason i will be switching to satellite when my promotion deal runs out with cable this summer.

in other news, the chicago cubs scored a lot of runs last night. and it is awesome.

[weller3377]

I left my computer at work so couldn't comment last night but...DAMN

Soto is the man. Even his 2nd AB was a shot just got knocked down at the warning track.

Fonz back tonight!! Lets hope that he grew a little patience on this little stint on the DL.

[Tiduwho]

I've just been handed a note that says, "The Cubs are preparing to win out".

[kurz41]

The Cubs are 15-1 when scoring 4 or more runs this year
1-0 when scoring 19 or more

[davehead86]

The Cubs are 15-1 when scoring 4 or more runs this year
1-0 when scoring 19 or more

:lol :lol :lol

And the night before was the first game over 4 runs that we have lost, last night was revenge for that streak being broken. :monkey

[saygdbye4134]

amen brother. fuck blackouts. yet another reason i will be switching to satellite when my promotion deal runs out with cable this summer.

double amen brosef.

switching to dish network on may 9th.

[snow1868]

That was a good game last night. Nothing I like more than beating the Brew crew, well, other than beating the Cards.

[DMBtheStoned]

Great game last night.

[saygdbye4134]

ill be at the game on sunday, sporting my cuck the fardinals shirt.

[OlivePoet]

I'm sure this was a typo, but i got a kick out of it. :lol Brewers "fan" lol

You're a Cubbie?

I had no idea...

[gocubsgo3822]

Good to see Fonzie back in the lineup.... Lets take 2-3

[gocubsgo3822]

this broad who is singing the anthem is kind of a cougar

[gocubsgo3822]

she cant sing though

[gocubsgo3822]

Dores anyone else find Busch Light Commercials on WGN really really funny?

[clayj41]

Gotta love day baseball on WGN!!! :hump

[weller3377]

damnit, early start and can't even be around the computer tonight because of work. GO CUBBIES

[snow1868]

Gotta love day baseball on WGN!!! :hump

Except for when you're at work and can't watch. :BANG

[clayj41]

Fuk and his ever rising OBP...

[clayj41]

Z with a round tripper!!!!!!!!!!!!! :multi

[TapNorris]

Z with a round tripper!!!!!!!!!!!!! :multi

That dude that caught Z's HR was going nuts.

[devilandthelord]

As he one ups Micah Owings!

[clayj41]

That dude that caught Z's HR was going nuts.

I would be too! :multi

As he one ups Micah Owings!

I don't know, a pinch hit HR by a pitcher is pretty badass!

[devilandthelord]

I would be too! :multi



I don't know, a pinch hit HR by a pitcher is pretty badass!

Yeah that dude is a badass. I wouldn't be suprised if we saw more of that from him.

Its just so fun to watch Z hit though, because he puts everything into every swing.
He's not gonna get a ton of hits, but when he does they're always a threat to go out!

[Tiduwho]

Let's go Z.

[clayj41]

Gallardo went down hard! Doesn't look good...:o

[clayj41]

He's gonna try and stay in! :eek

[TapNorris]

They just looked like the loveable losers again with that play. I know how Reed Johnson dropped it, but how did he drop it!?!?!? He had it in his glove!!

[TapNorris]

Nice play, Geo!! Nice throw Fuk!!

[saygdbye4134]

looks good on the net.

[gocubsgo3822]

Fuk was safe... Mamolade is up in the pen

[chr35919]

i'm loving theriot...he's on my fantasy. :)

[UCFish]

Good job by Marmol to get out of a jam.

[devilandthelord]

i'm loving theriot...he's on my fantasy. :)


I think he's still available in at least one of my leagues. Now that he's hitting for average I think I might pick him up for some speed as well.

[clayj41]

i'm loving theriot...he's on my fantasy. :)

He's on my 2.0 league team, as is Fuk who's 4 for 4. :cool

[Tiduwho]

Good work Fuk. Another good day for my fantasy team. I just wish I had drafted Soto instead of taking the "safe" pick in Russell Martin...who sucks this year.

[clayj41]

Good work Fuk. Another good day for my fantasy team. I just wish I had drafted Soto instead of taking the "safe" pick in Russell Martin...who sucks this year.

I have Soto in two of my leagues. He's really come up big for me.

[DMBCubs25]

Alright Kerry lets shut em down

[DMBCubs25]

Uh oh

[Tiduwho]

Soriano might have just cost us the game. FUCK!

[TapNorris]

What the hell!?!?

[TapNorris]

Let's get a FUCKING OUT!!!!

[DMBCubs25]

Fuck Soriano go strain your quad again you piece of shit

[clayj41]

Jesus!!! :BANG :BANG :BANG

[DMBCubs25]

and kerry wood blows the save and the game, way to go

[Bron Yr Aur]

This is ridiculous.

[kurz41]

Soriano might have just cost us the game. FUCK!
Watching on gameday. The ball was catchable?

[Tiduwho]

Okay, now let's get the DP and get out of here.

[clayj41]

Thank God for that K!

[Tiduwho]

Watching on gameday. The ball was catchable?

Let's put it this way: Reed Johnson would have made it a routine fly ball.

[clayj41]

Watching on gameday. The ball was catchable?

I would say no but that's only because he never positioned himself to be able catch it. It would've been caught had he got a decent break on it. :thumbsdow

[kurz41]

Let's put it this way: Reed Johnson would have made it a routine fly ball.
and he goes 0-4.

[TapNorris]

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. FUCK!!!!

[clayj41]

Fuck, fuck, fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :BANG

[DMBZeppelin]

man I'm pissed, all I can think about is the balls Soriano and Fuk should have gotten to.

[TapNorris]

Wood shouldn't be letting these fucking fucks hit them to the wall.

[Tiduwho]

At least we know Gagne sucks. Let's get to him! Come on Ronny!

[clayj41]

Wood shouldn't be letting these fucking fucks hit them to the wall.

:thumbsup It can't all be put on the outfielders.

[clayj41]

Leadoff runner...let's do this!!!

[TapNorris]

I don't want to see Pie bat next...he was the only guy NOT to get a hit last night.

[TapNorris]

The home plate ump is HORRIBLE!! No consistency whatsoever.

[Tiduwho]

God damn the umps have been terrible this series. Joke.

[Tiduwho]

Wow this sucks, Pie? WHY? WHY? He's fucking horrible.

[zdaddy]

victory is ours!:multi

[clayj41]

I want my 3 hours back! :lorraine

[Tiduwho]

Fuck everything. Fuck this team. God damnit. OISDJFILSJGKLJDGKLSDJKGLJSLdgjDSLkjdsg

[TapNorris]

Absolutely Fucking Horrible!!! We Need A Fucking Bullpen!!!

[HolyCow]

That's not on Woody. That's on Soriano. I don't know if it was effort or that he might still be hurt but like someone else said, that's a routine fly ball for Reed and if it wasn't, his face would be planted in the ivy because he sold out for it.

Disgusting loss.

[TapNorris]

I don't think it was so routine...and even if it was Woody shouldn't be letting them routinely hit it to the fricking wall!!

[41ravens]

that was pretty rough. at least we're still a game ahead of them and then after we sweep the cards this weekend, we'll be right back on top.

[clayj41]

That's not on Woody. That's on Soriano. I don't know if it was effort or that he might still be hurt but like someone else said, that's a routine fly ball for Reed and if it wasn't, his face would be planted in the ivy because he sold out for it.

Disgusting loss.

That's like putting the NLCS loss all on Bartman and not Prior! Granted Soriano should've made a play, but that's no excuse to completely collapse. :BANG

[clayj41]

that was pretty rough. at least we're still a game ahead of them and then after we sweep the cards this weekend, we'll be right back on top.

Yeah, this Cards series is now looming even larger.

[DMBtheStoned]

Wtf.

[41ravens]

hill, lilly and marquis this weekend. yikes. we're gonna need to score 19 runs every game.

[DMBCubs25]

Who cares, this team is not winning the world series, thats all that matters, winning the division is meaningless if we don't go all the way. This team needs another starting pitcher, another bat, and 2 bullpen arms if they want to be taken seriously, and the fact we only beat shit teams, that should at least make everyone feel better. Don't raise your expectations with this team, they will break your heart every time.

[TapNorris]

I'm just sick. This loss really fucking sucks. We better see some good play this weekend or I might be physically ill.

[rickyh24]

Wtf.

Go Devil Rays?

[UCFish]

Wow went into a meeting feeling good with a two run lead in the ninth.

That is pretty terrible.

[devilandthelord]

Dude.
You guys need to chill out.

We got 134 more of these to go and you can't take it so hard everytime we lose or somebody blows a save or fucks up in the field or something.

We're gonna be good. Just have faith in your team.

[UCFish]

I have no problem losing games.

Losing games that we should win is what bothers me.

Bottom of the order to the plate in the bottom of the ninth with a two run lead should not be an issue.

[DMBtheStoned]

Go Devil Rays?


They won today!

[DMBtheStoned]

Sure. I'm with you there. And its definitely not excuseable. But I'm just trying to bring everyone back to earth and say "Look its baseball, shit like this happens. Get over it, move on."

:thumbsup Great teams win the games they're suppose to. It's not unreasonable to be upset when your team you have high expectations for sucks it up like that.

Oh and the more I think about it, why was Soriano still in? You plan to end the game there, it's Soriano's first game back. Put him in CF, and slide Reed over to LF. The top of the 9th should have been the best defensive team out there.

[UCFish]

Sure. I'm with you there. And its definitely not excuseable. But I'm just trying to bring everyone back to earth and say "Look its baseball, shit like this happens. Get over it, move on."

And I agree with that. Lets bring on the Cards and get back on a streak.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

whow whow whow !

God I can't wait to go to a Cubs game this year.

GOD WE ARE GOOD!

people people people we cant get our panties in a bunch every time they lose, shit happens.

All I know is down the stretch the Cubs are going... a ll t he w ay !

It's the way we lost. It was that Woody blew the save and that we lost a game we should have won to the Brewers. I know we're going to be good. But it's NEVER ok to lose a game when you should have won.

When you're a fan that cares very, very deeply about the team, it hurts when you lose. Especially when it's a game like this.

What?

[Sou1 So1di3r]

I hope tomorrows game isn't rained out. I haven't seen the Cards/Cubs for probably 5 years.

Here's to a another 19 run game!

Edit: yeah I mean I'm going to the game

Got an extra ticket?
I got the day off tomorrow.
If you can come up with one, consider yourself sitting in B2 at Bridgeview. :cool

[clayj41]

Oh it totally sucks. It hurts for me too. Its extremely frustrating. Its unacceptable.
I was just trying to bring some perspective. Thats all.

As Cubs fans, we rarely put things into perspective. :lol

:thumbsup

Oh i gotcha. It's not like I think this team sucks now or anything. I'm just sad. And I feel bad for Woody.

[gocubsgo3822]

I have no problem losing games.

Losing games that we should win is what bothers me.

Bottom of the order to the plate in the bottom of the ninth with a two run lead should not be an issue.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

I know this is my brother so i will seemed biased but seriously we need to win games that we are up 2 in then 9th.... Today was fucking UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!! Carlos was amazing and Marmol was amazing. Its gotten to the point where we cant tolerate mediocrity.... We have lost 4 of 5 show some fucking urgency fans!!!! THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!



We cant write this off as a loss. Do yall realize that the Brewers are 4-2 against us????????????? WTF!!!!!!!!!


Will talk to yall tomorrow after my exam... i am disgusted that there is not more outrage

[bothedmbfan]

Well, I expect us to be not so good for a few more games, until Fonzie gets into his groove.

no I don't:(

But I bought these tickets on monday ON THE CARDNIALS website. I'm pretty sure they still have some on the site. You should check. My tix were only $32 plu sfees

Soriano needs to step the fuck up. Lou needs to drop his ass if he can't produce this year. That being said it is only the beginning of May, lets just relax here a little bit, we have a little losing streak going and it happens, better to get it out of the way now and not in September.

[Tiduwho]

Jesus Christ Soriano should NOT be playing right now. He's awful.

[TapNorris]

Jesus Christ Soriano should NOT be playing right now. He's awful.

He needs to go...and soon, while we can still get someone for him!!!

He's going to hurt this team more than he could ever help. If he gets down two strikes he's never going to not swing....he's like a fricking cat, you yell at them to not do something and two minutes later they're doing it again.

[Tiduwho]

Imagine what he'll be in 6 years...

[TapNorris]

Holy Fucking Shit!!!!!!! Get The Fuck Rid Of Soriano!!!!!!!!!!

[Tiduwho]

OMG, get him back on the DL NOW.


Just wow. Comically bad. Unreal how bad he is right now. He's still in pain, you can tell.

[Bron Yr Aur]

Oh c'mon, he was a big reason for the success last year. Yeah, those two plays were fucking AWFUL. He's having a slow start, made worse by an injury. The guy will bounce back, and he's lacking confidence. The depressing this is that....this is just the same old thing for the Cubs. Good players doing stupid things, tons of errors, 4 walks in the first five batters, 3 runs in the top of the 9th....I mean, it's sickening, but you can't put it all on Soriano. Derek made an error in that inning, too.

Too bad for Howry, though, he had to get 6 outs in one inning.

Yeah, he has success when he doesn't get down two strikes, otherwise he's striking out....the pitcher could throw it behind him and he'd fucking strike out. I'm putting it on Soriano.

[TapNorris]

fuck

[Bron Yr Aur]

Well then you know nothing about baseball. Soriano won us a few games last year, and he will probably do the same this year. Give him a break, he just came off the DL. In a few days he'll get back into it, I'm sure. Today was unacceptable, for sure, but he's not the only one at fault. He's the only one with an RBI today, just so you know.

I don't know what Soto is really thinking. I mean, he watches DeRosa get a walk and decides to come up swinging at the first pitch on the low outside corner? What is he trying to do with that ball? I just don't understand it.

[TapNorris]

Cubs without Soriano = Patience at the plate.

Cubs with Soriano = Swing, swing, swing and swing again!!

[TapNorris]

Can he redeem himself? If he gets down in the count.........no.

[Bron Yr Aur]

Thank you Soriano.

[TapNorris]

What do you know? He fucking did it.

[Tiduwho]

Holy Fuck Soriano!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank God!!!!!!!!!! Talk about Redeeming yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


:multi :multi :multi

[TapNorris]

If Soriano makes the plays in left then we're leading. :lol

[DMBCubs25]

I don't care that soriano homered that defense in the 7th inning was so fucking unbelievably bad, a 10 year old could have caught those balls and yet a $136 million dollar pussy bitch left fielder could not, this guy is a liability not an asset, good signing hendry you piece of shit, outside of zito this guy has the worst contract in the majors.

[Tiduwho]

Chad Fox? Really? Huh.....

[Bron Yr Aur]

This post is moronic. It doesn't fucking matter. Without Soriano, we lose the game 2-0. HE"S DRIVEN IN ALL THREE RUNS TONIGHT. Get it through your heads. Yeah, he's having a rough game defensively, but it'll get better.

[Bron Yr Aur]

1 out runner on third, THIS is where you put in Marmol because you need the K. You just have to bring him in now.

Edit: Wow. 1st pitch. Jesus fucking christ. Put in Carlos fucking Marmol.

[Tiduwho]

Marmol was the only pitcher left. Lou was saving him because it's an away game. If the Cubs got the lead the next inning, he'd have to use him then. If he used him then, and they got out of it, he has to pitch the rest of the game. And Marmol is a one to two inning specialist.

[saygdbye4134]

im off for st. louis. and i will bring back a cubs win tomorrow night. that or soriano's dismembered body.

[clayj41]

Did anyone just see Dempster's Harry Carey impression on Fox? It was perfect!

[DMBtheStoned]

Woah! a Cubs game on tv?!

[clayj41]

Woah! a Cubs game on tv?!

Yup, but Joe Buck is calling it. :shrug

[clayj41]

6 run 4th inning.....6-0 BABY!!!

[DMBtheStoned]

lookin good.

[Robby1870]

Ted helping himself out.

This game would be 10x better if Len and Bob were calling it.

[DMBtheStoned]

nice slide by lilly :lol

[HolyCow]

Thank you Ted Lilly. We needed this today.

And how of a hitter is Fuk? Seriously. He has one of the best approaches I've seen in a while. He can hit any pitcher, anywhere.

[clayj41]

CUBS WIN!!! :multi

[JaJunk]

nice slide by lilly :lol

Textbook :thumbsup Cubs win!!!!

[Sou1 So1di3r]

Last nights game was so fun. Even though the cards won, we were going crazy in the 9th. Soriano fucke dup the game really bad though....... ughh.


And who the hell is FOX?!

[TheOtherside]

anyone ever use myp2p.eu to watch games?

[clayj41]

I love that every game of this series has been televised this weekend. GO CUBS!!!

[DMBtheStoned]

Go Cubs!

[Sou1 So1di3r]

i wish I was at yesterdays game instead of fridays. oh well.

[DMBtheStoned]

Great catch by D-Lee. Saved at least 2 runs.

[SoRight24]

Sweet Lou looked like he was about to go apeshit if Marquis would have walked another guy. :lol

[DMBtheStoned]

:lol Ya I think Lou might be close to another meltdown one of these days.

[devilandthelord]

2 runners in scoring position for Fonz.

I like.

C'mon Fonzie!

[devilandthelord]

Here's a cool article about Fuk, one of my co-workers just sent me.

[JaJunk]

So is Gallagher supposed to start if we sent Hill down?

:(

Bring up the Shark!

[clayj41]

True. :D

Molina is one of the best there is though when it comes to throwing out baserunners.

[JaJunk]

True. :D

Molina is one of the best there is though when it comes to throwing out baserunners.
Also good at being hot tempered and hobbit sized. Best at walking to the mound as well.

[DMBtheStoned]

Ya that was a great play by Molina.

[gocubsgo3822]

No lieber is going to start.

THis team is melting down as we speak. Just fucking playing horrible baseball

[DMBtheStoned]

We need to score here.

[gocubsgo3822]
