I know!!! :eek I just have to remind myself that my frustration is NOTHING compared to what the other players must be feeling toward the bullpen...

THere is only one way to go. Someone need tos do it. The Final Solution to the Bullpen Question..........

[UCFish]

I know!!! :eek I just have to remind myself that my frustration is NOTHING compared to what the other players must be feeling toward the bullpen...

The entire team especially the starters must just hate them. They all know that no lead is safe. :BANG

[Bron Yr Aur]

Wow, that is just mindboggling...the offense carries them back, yet the bullpen blows it again. I mean, the offense had been pretty stagnant against the Padres, but unlike in previous years, the offense seems to be able to get something done usually, and they have been coming through a lot more lately. But the bullpen, my God, they are just ridiculously awful.

What do you do though? How many times do you give Eyre, Howry, Ohman the ball and let them fuck you over.

[Bron Yr Aur]

What do you do though? How many times do you give Eyre, Howry, Ohman the ball and let them fuck you over.

Get Cotts back up, he hasn't been that bad, and send those idiots down, and bring up some more young guys. They may get roughed up a bit here and there, but maybe they won't be so afraid to fuck up. Howry has been horrifyingly bad for the last....3-4 weeks, and it's not getting better for him.

[bothedmbfan]

We should cut 3/4ths of our bull pen, and then take a bunch of fucking pre-schoolers and put them on the mound, because it can't get much fucking worse!

The bull pen is 3-15 this year(Or maybe it was 3-12, either way, that's 12 wins that could have/should have been ours.)

[UCFish]

Keep Wuertz, Dempster and Cherry. Fuck the rest of them.

[Ev42]

i missed the game thank goodness. but did marmol pitch. if not why have him up if they don't put him in

[DMBCubs25]

i missed the game thank goodness. but did marmol pitch. if not why have him up if they don't put him in

marmol pitched in the 5th or 6th inning if i recall and looked pretty good. Other than that this team fucking sucks, they are a complete joke. This team is more painful to watch than last years fuck-ups because at least last year you knew they would lose every game they played. This year they tease you with a big comeback and you think there gonna win, then enter the bullpen to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, these guys really make me fuckin sick. I cant wait till hendry gets fired, that lazy piece of shit might be the worst gm in the league

[Ev42]

you would think with everything we have gone through it would be easir to deal with the pain and agoney of being a cub fan

[DMBZeppelin]

This was on ESPN's power rankings the other day:

Despite having a losing record, the Cubs have a plus-27 run differential, third to the Mets and Padres in the NL.

I don't think the last two games are added in, but it's sad that we are so good on paper. Because it seems like at any time they could pull it all together. Sometimes for seven innings it appears they have. Then the pen sucks, or the offense can't get a hit. Man it just never ends. Either way I'm happy we won today. Big Z is the key to the season.

I think the bullpen is the key, because Marquis, Hill, and Lilly have pitched well.

Hey, and we won today! Z struggled late, but they pulled one out. Maybe we can steal the series tomorrow.

June 4, 5, and 6th are key to the year. We're 5.5 out of 1st right now. That will go down to 5 or up to 6 after the Brewers play tonight. Well those three games I mentioned are @ Milwaukee. So if we can stay around 5 games out. We need to win 2 out of 3 of sweep to start closing that gap against them. We also play them again in late June as well at Wrigley.

[DMBCubs25]

Brewers and Astros lose again, 5 back looks a whole lot more reachable in this joke of a division theres always hope

[86dmbal]

i was at the game friday night. Classic Cubs.

[gocubsgo3822]

good win lets take the series tomorrow and hope the brewers lose. Seriously everyone is palying bad right now 5 out aint bad

[VanHorneDog]

brew crew will not win tomorrow, cubs better beat the dodgers for my padres. we are tied for first now.

:cool :thumbsup

[Tiduwho]

Imagine if Dempster had completed what he was supposed to. Would anynone else join me in the Final Solution?

[UCFish]

Que?

[Tiduwho]

Que?

The Final Solution to the Bullpen question.....





^^I was really drunk when I wrote that. And mad. :lol

[Tiduwho]

Alright Cubbies. Stranding runners on base already, Barrett being an idiot and trying to steal 3rd on a 3-0 count.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

THere is only one way to go. Someone need tos do it. The Final Solution to the Bullpen Question..........

Drag em out back like Ole Yeller, ALL OF EM !

[DMBCubs25]

im starting to think that between soriano/lee they will not hit combine to hit over 40 homeruns this year

[Tiduwho]

It's not like I didn't just call that pitch. It's not like I didn't say "Cubs lose" the second Scott Eyre got into the game.

[UCFish]

Scott Eyre blowing another one. At least he is consistent.

[DMBCubs25]

Fucking Eyre Shouldnt

[DMBCubs25]

Fucking Eyre Shouldnt Pitch Unless Were Up Or Down By 10

[UCFish]

Fucking Eyre Shouldnt Pitch Unless Were Up Or Down By 10

I support this.

[DMBCubs25]

how big does barrets mis-execution of a bunt look right now, derosa hits a deep flyball next batter that wouldve been a sac fly, were up 2-1 now instaed of tied 1-1, this is why we consistently lose 1-run games, scott eyre should be released by tomorrow hopefully

[UCFish]

Who does not feel good about our extra innings chances?

Raise of hands.

[DMBCubs25]

im pretty sure everyone whos a cubs fan knows exactly what the result of todays game will be, i dont think i have to say it starts with an L and rhymes with ross

[UCFish]

Jesus. Falls down and gets third base.

[DMBCubs25]

i dont care how bad the division is we are not gonna win it with this bullpen, they are absolutely brutal, barrets the worst defensive catcher in the league, and soriano and lee couldnt hit a homerun if their lives depended on it

[Ev42]

and they find a new way to loss the game brilliant. eyre sucks ass nothing else you can say about that guy.

[gocubsgo3822]

a new day a new loss it is great to be a cubs fan

[VanHorneDog]

what the hell cubs! we cleaned the floor with the brewers and you couldnt win but one lousy game?

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

I heard from a reliable source that the Cubs favorite thing to do is blow the game in the 9th or extra innings. The Cubs have outstanding relief pitching too. I dunno what the problem is, oh yea wait...THEY DONT !

[VanHorneDog]

you know you can blame relief pitching all you want, but if you cant score more than 1 run 3 times in a week. then you are not going to win the game anyway.

there is only one team (maybe two) that could possibly win 3 1-0 games in a week and its not the cubs.

What's funny is the Cubs are second in the league in hitting. It's that they get guys on base, and then just ground into double plays and strikeout. It's maddening. No one is consistent. All of their hitters hit when it doesn't matter. I imagine our team RISP avg. is among the worst in the league.

i know how you feel. that extra inning game the padres won at wrigly is so typical padres. i think we won like 4-3 in 14? but we left like 17 guys on base.

madening!

good thing our pitching is amazing.

another thing that i think would be invaluable is actually having a smaller turnover from year to year. keeping the same players together so that they start to trust eachother and learn how to play together.

the cubs keep turning around people its crazy.

We'll trade you Zambrano for Peavy.





Please?

[VanHorneDog]

We'll trade you Zambrano for Peavy.





Please?

i wouldnt trade Peavy for anyone.

he is the best pitcher in baseball right now. with that said, that could mean he is the best player in baseball. cuz every 5 games its pretty much a sure thing. hell if it wasnt for our pen he would probaby have 3-4 complete games by now probably a couple shutouts.

although, i do like Zambranos bat. when i saw him pitch at wrigley i was far more impressed with the 2-4 day he had with 4 RBI. :lol :thumbsup

then again, jake did Drive in a run today. not only did he shut down the brew crew he out hit them! hahah.

actually, believe it or not, but im pretty sure we are 1st or 2nd in the league with risp avg., i know it speaks a lot about how shitty this team is to turn something positive like that into a 22-26 record, RELEASE EYRE

[dmbman32]

Here's a crazy thing no one has mentioned yet:

Even if they finish the season at .500, that's a 30 GAME IMPROVEMENT from last year. That's huge.

Granted, with this type of talent and payroll, they should be way better than .500. Plus, there have been AT LEAST 5-10 games the bullpen has blown that they should've won. They're just missing that cohesiveness "team unit." The individual talent is there, but it's just not blending together.

-Dempster has 11 saves: Solid.
-Lee is leading the league in hitting: Solid
-Hill/Lilly/Marquis are putting up good numbers: Solid
-Ramirez is tearing it up: Solid

BUT

-Zambrano has had a bad start: NOT solid
-Lee and Soriano aren't putting up power numbers: NOT solid
-The bullpen is a walking "Oh, fuck:" NOT solid

So, I guess, we shall see......

[UCFish]

Not looking too good today thus far.

[DMBtheStoned]

its still early

[DMBtheStoned]

how are we not hitting byung hung kim or what ever the fuck his name is?? hasn't he pretty much blown ass the last couple years?

[UCFish]

We are making him look like a Cy Young contender.

Marshall looks good though.

[DMBtheStoned]

Yeah Marshall is looking good.

That double play Barrett hit was awful. That was clearly a ball and then Ramirez got doubled up. horrible

[Ev42]

mb is a meathead for swing at that pitch. sometimes i have no idea were is hear is like yesterday

[UCFish]

Note:

If you have to throw the bat to hit the pitch it is probably not a strike.

[UCFish]

Oh good light him up Eyre is in.

[DMBtheStoned]

Well this one appears to be slipping away..

[DMBCubs25]

cubs suck

[UCFish]

Leave Eyre out there. I hope his are falls off.

[UCFish]

Well at least they made it interesting.

[GinaNMU]

Well at least they made it interesting.

:shrug eh.

[penn darvis]

cubs suck
God, I heard that enough coming out of Friday night's game. Dogders fans are truly a classless bunch.

But anyway, until this team starts showing me they can win some ballgames, I'm gonna stop watching. I've got better things to do with my time than watch the Cubs invent ways to lose games.

[HolyCow]

:thumbsup

I sick of being the happy go lucky, faithful fan.

Maybe if folks stop showing up at Wrigley, this team will take the hint and start winning ball games.

I am pissed off at this. There is too much talent on this team to be this bad.

[UCFish]

Damn it I missed D-Lees homer. At least the Marlins did not score last inning. Second and Third with no outs and they got nothing.

[UCFish]

Our baserunning is horrid at best.

[DMBCubs25]

4th graders can run the bases better than that, derosa and barret deserve to be fined for those dumbshit plays on the bases, thats why this teams a fucking joke, money says we lose by 1 run tonight

[UCFish]

Barrett has no arm.

[DMBCubs25]

The Schamburg Flyers play better fundamental baseball than us, i wish i could go puke on barret and derosa right now, they both suck terribly

[SmoothD41]

ouch, marquis shitting the bed tonight...damn

[gocubsgo3822]

ooh well there is always next year

[UCFish]

112 Games left. Still plenty of time.

[gocubsgo3822]

thats what bob and len jsut said.. where are seats for bridgeview?

[UCFish]

one set is c1 row 11 and the other is middle stadium somewhere.

[DMBCubs25]

hey at least bears season starts in 4 months, this cubs season is over, these losers are not going anywhere no matter how bad the division is

[DMBCubs25]

at least the white sox lost.... god, being a cubs fan makes me wanna puke

[Bron Yr Aur]

hey at least bears season starts in 4 months, this cubs season is over, these losers are not going anywhere no matter how bad the division is

Jesus, the season is far from over....when they made the playoffs in 03 they made a late charge...I won't count them out until they get at least 10 games under .500....

[DMBCubs25]

Jesus, the season is far from over....when they made the playoffs in 03 they made a late charge...I won't count them out until they get at least 10 games under .500....

I quite frankly could care less there place in the standings right now, if you even watch the way they play the game its pathetic, terrible baserunning, no timely hitting, no power, no heart, no intensity, stupid stupid mental errors, at least the 03 team was a smart team, this team is as dumb as a rock

[DMBCubs25]

alright, game ends early tonight, 2-0 marlins

[Bartndrpleez]

Man, those were BOMBS! I'm so glad I actually get to watch my fish tonight because the game's on WGN.

Make it 3-0 :D:D

I'm such a douche though, I knew I should have put Lilly on the bench on my fantasy team. D'oh!

[UCFish]

I did not know it was on WGN. Still I am watching hockey on the real TV with the Cubs on gamecast. Well we look like shit again once again to start the game. Also please explain to me why ARAM is hitting 5th.

[DMBZeppelin]

Is anyone watching in the Chicagoland area, not getting the audio for the game? I currently have the image of the Cubs, but the audio from One Tree Hill. It's just really weird.

[UCFish]

hahaha that sounds intersting

[DMBZeppelin]

hahaha that sounds intersting
I'm just wondering what happens when one of the shows goes to commercial.

[UCFish]

Well how did it pan out at commercial time??

[DMBCubs25]

ya ive been having this problem too, weird

I did not know it was on WGN. Still I am watching hockey on the real TV with the Cubs on gamecast. Well we look like shit again once again to start the game. Also please explain to me why ARAM is hitting 5th.

you probably shouldnt bother watching, lou called last nights game the worst of the season, well tongihts game is making that game look like a cake walk

[DMBZeppelin]

Well how did it pan out at commercial time??
Well with 2 outs and Jones up the audio came back. Then after the out it went to OTH audio to Cubs audio to OTH audio. Then it went to commercial and everything was normal. Then it came back and it's still ok.

[UCFish]

Sounds like some quality WGN work.

[Tiduwho]

I'm becoming numb to the pain that these bums inflict on me.

[DMBCubs25]

How do you spell Cubs?

P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C

Seasons Over, the cubs are presumed missing and dead

[jayman414]

its time to dump this whole team. can the cubs be anymore of a baseball stupid club. lets go up and be impatient at the plate when your down by 8, hell they are like when they are down by 2. The cubs need to start focusing on OBP and base running. And if Barrett lets one more ball go by get rid of his ass. Maybe get rid of everybody except for D Lee and Theriot. They are the only guys worth having. Your not going to get much for the other players, with the exception of maybe Zambrano. Its time to realize that the Cubs are never going to win as long as we fans just keep being satisfied with mediocre baseball and will keep filling the stadium to see a losing team. There is no drive in the players nor the managment to win, let alone the front office. I cannot wait for this team to be bought next year. The Cubs should have hired Joe Giradi when they had the chance.

[DMBZeppelin]

And if Barrett lets one more ball go by get rid of his ass. Maybe get rid of everybody except for D Lee and Theriot. They are the only guys worth having. Your not going to get much for the other players, with the exception of maybe Zambrano.
So the fact you have a franchise third basemen named Aramis Ramirez means nothing to you? The guy is 28 and is coming onto his best years. We could get A LOT for him. Due to the fact he's only 28 and Zambrano is slumping. I'd wager to say he's the most valueable player on the Cubs.

[gocubsgo3822]

i was there i got kicked out by security int he eighth for being :drunk" i hate the cubs i reallly do. tjhey suck. they cant play baseball. but serioulsy dollar beers right outside the game were awesome. cubs suck andit sucks getting kicked ot whenu habve great seats

-The south shall rise again

[Bron Yr Aur]

Yeah, it's really weird how we are so terrible...I mean, the stats are in our favor, and they are going through a really rough stretch right now. Things should turn around, I mean, at a certain point the percentages start to take effect, right?

Either way, I don't think they should just dump the team....we are pretty good on offense, despite our recent troubles...Soriano, Lee, Ramirez, Barrett, Theriot....those are good offensive players. Even the defense has been pretty good this year. The timely hitting is terrible, yet Lou seems to rarely try to play small ball to manufacture runs. And yeah, the bullpen is beyond awful.

[bothedmbfan]

God, fucking, damn it.

[davehead86]

No matter the manager or the roster on the team the Cubs fuck it up Big Willie style every fucking season. What the hell is wrong with this organization ...
**coughJimHendrycough**

Tonight's game was pathetic.

[UCFish]

[gocubsgo3822]

[bigeyefish22]

Im making my first trip to wrigley tomorrow. been waitin since i was 11 and would come home from school to Harry Carey; been dreamin since then.

SO, any recommendations for me? what do i need to do/see? where do i need to go? also, we're stayin near wrigley, so is there anything fun to do there at night?

thanks

[UCFish]

If you are 21 just hit all of the bars around. Go early and get wasted.

[Tiduwho]

Good D Lee. Now let's keep this rally going.

[UCFish]

Z has given up a lot of hits today.

[Tiduwho]

Z has given up a lot of hits today.


He's a bum. I can't stand this team! The entire division, ALL 6 teams had a losing record in May. Everyone is sucking, and we can't capitalize! We just lose lose lose. :BANG

[UCFish]

Jesus they are bad. When is the last time that we even had a lead in a game. It seems like it has been awhile.

[Tiduwho]

It's 7 now? Hot damn this team is bad.

[TapNorris]

Can anyone tell me how Jacques Jones became a major league outfielder when he can't make a quick throw from the OF without throwing it straight into the ground?!?! HONEST TO GOD I've seen him do this 12 times in the last two years! How many other outfielders do you see do this more than one or two times in a CAREER!?!?!?!


Nice Zambrano! You've just sent us to our lowest point in years. Gotta love fights in the dugout!! (Edit: They're idiotic)

[SmoothD41]

the cubs are an absolute mess

zambrano and barrett just exchanged punches in the dugout. Both of those guys are psycho.

[UCFish]

Fuck i missed it. Are you serious that they threw punches. HAHAHAHA god they are terrible.

[SmoothD41]

Fuck i missed it. Are you serious that they threw punches. HAHAHAHA god they are terrible.

it was mostly Zambrano, but yeah.

well, tomorrow should be an interesting day for my first game at wrigley. maybe the unprecedented 'one bench' clearing brawl? i can only hope.

i watched jaucqeuscqe jones for like 5 years as a twins fan - hes just not very good. not terrible; just not good at all. always a disappointment. does he still K all the time, tilt his head sharply to one side, give that whiny facial expression as he, head down, trudges back to the dugout like a kid whose toy was just confiscated?

[Ev42]

it was mostly Zambrano, but yeah.

i missed it who was the fight between

[TapNorris]

i missed it who was the fight between


Z and Barrett.

[TapNorris]

well, tomorrow should be an interesting day for my first game at wrigley.

Well, bad baseball doesn't always spoil ones day at Wrigley. Just be sure to drink plenty of beer...at Wrigley and at Casey Moran's, or whatever your Wrigleyville bar of choice is.

[TapNorris]

Scott Eyre!!! How many outings in a row has he given up runs?

[Ev42]

thanks. man this team keeps find ways to make me sick to my stomach.

[TapNorris]

thanks. man this team keeps find ways to make me sick to my stomach.


Watching them fight in the dugout...I hadn't felt that bad for this team in years! Probably pre-Dusty.

[UCFish]

Is it safe to say that we are the worst $300 million dollar team in history.

Hey hey, that was quick. Thanks for the link. Because of Comcast bullshit, I'm not allowed to see anything Cub related until after the game because I live 5 minutes into Wisconsin. ESPN isn't allowed to show highlights, and even TBS has the game blocked out.


Lol, looks like Barrett pointed to the scoreboard and said something like "You gave up 13 hits" and so Z became furious and attacked him.

[Tiduwho]

Everyone bar D Lee is a bum. All of them. Fine, The Riot is okay too.


Aramis has 12 homers? When did that happen?

[UCFish]

Joy.

Thanks for that I needed something to laugh at.

At least D. Lee had a money game and got out of his mini slump. Too bad everyone else sucked. Maybe ARAM was OK.

[Tiduwho]

Damn Wickman is fat. We should really make an "All-Fat Team".

[JaJunk]

Stay classy Cubs!

keep losing brewers :thumbsup at least our team is significant.

[JaJunk]

we suck, but that is what makes us special. the brewers are about as important to baseball as the devil rays.

[Tiduwho]

By the way, today was Zambrano's birthday. Damn, guaranteed he is going out tonight and getting hammered.

[Tiduwho]

Lou sounded happy in the Post Game.

[davehead86]

Lou sounded happy in the Post Game.

Kinda wish I could hear him being frustrated. Maybe it'll fucking click for this shitty ass team. :BANG

I cant beleive they got into it at the game in the dugout, real classy.






And why the hell did TBS block out the game? I couldnt watch it on the satellite?

[SatelliteEyes]

keep losing brewers :thumbsup at least our team is significantly worse than Milwaukee.

Fixed.

[boarderx5423]

Fixed.

Good work. :thumbsup

[Tiduwho]

And why the hell did TBS block out the game? I couldnt watch it on the satellite?

^^^Like I said, Comcast monopoly contractual bullshit. If I lived 5 minutes south, I could watch the Cubs every day. Instead, I'm not even allowed to see highlights until the game is over thanks to Comcast Cable.

[malarks26]

By the way, today was Zambrano's birthday. Damn, guaranteed he is going out tonight and getting hammered.

We'll hear on Sportscenter tomorrow morning that Zambrano got in a fight at the bar and then got picked up for a DWI leaving the bar. :lol

[UCFish]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA so apparently they fought again in the club house and Z gave Barret two black eyes and split his lip. Barret went to the hospital.

TTTEEERRRIIIBBBLLLEEE WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS TEAM

I swear I almost feel bad for Pinella. This is maybe the worst thing I have ever seen from the Cubs in my lifetime.

[Jimi's Thing]

Carlos Zambrano is a fuckin piece of trash. He goes off running his mouth about how he deserves big money and not only does he suck but he continues to be a cancer in that clubhouse.

He might have taken TO's place as my most hated athlete in sports.

Oh, and don't be surprised when he is dealt this July.

I agree that he runs his mouth way too much but at the same time at least he gets fired up unlike most of the terrible players on this team. I swear some of them don't even give a shit.

I do think that this incident pretty much gurantees that at the start of next season he will not be on this team.

[gocubsgo3822]

let me jsut say that i was listening to espn radio 1000 in chicago becuase i went to ohare 6 fucking times today and what i get from pinellas interview is that he is not happy with Hendry. It sounds like he wants pie up to catch the ball.

that is all (i really like driving big buses it makes me feel like the king of the road and i can also drive in the shoulder and cut people off it is awesome!!!)

I agree....I can honestly say that I have never been more embarrased for a team that I supported than today as I watched Z and Barrett go at each other in the dugout....It is the lowest of lows.

[DMBZeppelin]

We need to have Soriano move back to 2B. Not because I think he's a good 2B, but DeRosa isn't a good starter. Neither is Iztruis. So if you have Theriot as your every day shortstop and Soriano at 2B. Then you can call up Pie. Put him in center. Put Murton in left field. Then have Pagan and Floyd split time in right. I mean how does Jaque Jones throw a two hopper to a cut off man in the shallow outfield?

[SatelliteEyes]

(Chicago) 7-8 (Deer Creek) 8-17, 8-18 (Pine Knob) 8-23 (Alpine) 8-25, 8-26 (Gorge) 8-31

Are these tour dates in your signature or the progression of the Cubs record this season?

You know, that doesn't sound like a bad idea!!

I posted about Jones a page back or so....I am just amazed at the amount of times I've seen him try to make a quick throw and he puts it STRAIGHT INTO THE GROUND!! MLB OF's do that maybe twice in a career, Jones does it twice a week!!!!! I don't care if does hit a HR every now and then, he's hurting the team out there.

Honestly, they need all the help they can get and this is what I said even when the Nationals moved him into the outfield.

I dont wanna see murton play ever again, hes got no bat at all, the only person in major league baseball that plays a worse outfield than him is on our team and tahts jacque jones (beautiful throw to the cutoff man by the way yesterday), murton's arm is worse than a 7th grade girl, he cant catch, he cant hit for average, cant hit for power, cant steal bases, the only thing hes good for is taking an occasional walk, send this kid back down to the minors, he cant handle this place

[bothedmbfan]

Rich Hill looks great again today...I wish I could say that for the rest of us.

(BTW, Barrett, that fignut, got fucked up.)

[UCFish]

Great we finally have a game for the first time in a week where the bullpen needs to hold and of course Ohman gives up a run.

[Tiduwho]

Lol, Piniella finally lost it. Some nice hat kicks there.


And the Bleacher Bums trash the field with garbage again.

[Tiduwho]

And after that replay...Lou looks pretty bad. That was an outstanding play by the catcher and a quick tag. Damn.

[skywalker_009]

And the Bleacher Bums trash the field with garbage again.

classy...

[Bron Yr Aur]

He was safe, but what else can Lou do? He had to get up there and argue his case, Pagan looked safe from the first few views...he was clearly out after the last replay, but what else can he do. Should never have gone for third, he got way too slow of a jump on that wild pitch.

Either way, the Cubs are fucking hopeless, it's too depressing.

[Tiduwho]

And the Bullpen continues to serve up runs. Wow.

[UCFish]

Damn the blackout games on Saturdays. I missed a Lou explosion???

[GinaNMU]

Damn the blackout games on Saturdays. I missed a Lou explosion???

Are you talking about MLB.tv? Yeah, I hate the Saturday blackouts.

Then again, it's not like watching the game would make me feel any better. After this huge losing streak and the fight yesterday, the Cubs are at rock bottom. I am trying to figure that we can only go up from here, but my god, I'm surrounded by Red Sox fans out here in Boston, and it's getting pretty embarassing saying I'm a Cubs fan :shrug

My boyfriend and I actually got in our first "stupid" fight last night over the Cubs! We were drinking, and the cocky Red Sox fan starts going off and saying what a joke the Cubs are and how he doesn't understand how I can be a fan and support such a joke team. Of course I stick up for them and try to defend them as much as I can, but it just lead me to get f'in pissed and frustrated. I didn't talk to him for like 2 hours :lol

[DMBCubs25]

classy...

ya, everyone should just sit there like you and pretend a games not going on, im tired of bullshit, do something about it

[Jimi's Thing]

What a shit show that was. Pagan was completely out in every replay they showed.

However, I think Pinella had a different agenda than just the call.

And leave it to the Wrigley Faithful to be classless, trashing the field after the ump made the right call. Serves them right that the Cubs lost.

[skywalker_009]

ya, everyone should just sit there like you and pretend a games not going on, im tired of bullshit, do something about it

what?... so throwing trash on the field is okay with you?... i would hope that you would have more respect for your field, your team, and your city... ive always liked cubs fans alot(the passion is amazing, especially when you compare it to my teams fans that could almost care less), but that was just bad...

[UCFish]

There is a reason they are called bleacher bums. And its only the third base side outfield that is bad, first base side is where all the normal people sit.

[UCFish]

Ummm :confused

I sit in the bleachers almost every game I go to. And not everyone throws shit onto the field. Actually I don't think I've ever seen this happen.

Also, I like to sit wherever I can find seats. I don't think it's fair to say "People who sit in right/3rd base side of the outfield are bad, but the 1st base side is normal." Bad generalization, and makes Cubs fans look bad.

Do you even know where the term bleacher bums originated from? If you did, you would know that its now just 'the bleachers'...and Cub fans suck, could be the least knowledgable fan base for baseball around.

Today is a prime example as to why Wrigley is the most overrated venue in sports.

Yeah because Wrigley is the only place this has happened. You must be a dumb ass Sox Fan. That is something a "knowledgable" Sox fan would say.

[Ev42]

question do you think the cubs will be trading Z now

[UCFish]

No, I think he will finish the year here. After that however I think will depend on the remainder of his starts.

[DMBCubs25]

question do you think the cubs will be trading Z now

if we had a smart gm, which we do not, then we definetely need to get rid of zambrano before the trade deadline and get some value for him because he obviouslly will not be here by seasons end, we need to get something in return for thsi so called "ace" of a pitcher

[Ev42]

i think that we should be seller at the dead line. i would get rid of j.jones eyer howery, cliff, wade miller. and bring up all the young guys. what do all of you think.

[Ev42]

by the way did anyone see henry's car, not bad for a back up catcher.

[Bron Yr Aur]

People make a much bigger deal out of the fan's antics than they should...tossing a few cups onto the field really isn't hurting anyone. Sure it's stupid and classless, but they weren't tossing things onto the field because of the call, I don't think. I think it was mainly out of frustration, and the same goes for Lou's outrage.

[bothedmbfan]

I want to give up on us...but I can't.

I'm not sure why I can't, but damn it, I think we might jsut pull through this slump.

No its a fair assumption to make. Just watch where all the shit happens, the third base line is notorious, yes it hapens all over, but the third base line is just atrocious.

And no not everyone throws shit ont he field but the people who do, do make the fan base look bad.

[NDjohn36]

I was at the game today, Lou's antics were hillarious. I don't know if it got through on the tv, but the place was going wild during his tirade and the energy continued until Howry gave up that homer.

As for littering the field, they really shouldn't give out free mugs to the bleachers. I'm not a fan of throwing stuff on the field, but it seemed to fit at the time, this (every) season is frustrating.

[richieu11]

another fucking debacle by these miserable cubs. What the fuck! Im getting sick of watching these clowns. Here I thought we're gonna have a good year. All that money spent and nothing to show. They are fucking terrible...arrgh, its a bad time to be a cub fan. What can ya do? Only hope its gonna get better considering the misery of the rest of the division, but hope is fading fast.

and ya gotta love cubs travel mug day. they can do that again tomorrow there were so many of them on the field that the grounds crew cleaned up! :lol :lol :lol

I do like Lou's tirade though. At least thats showing them he cares. :thumbsup

[UCFish]

Don't look now but we are actually winning in a game for the first time in a while.

[Bron Yr Aur]

Can't believe we might actually win today...and D. Lee and Soriano hit homers...

Also, I can't believe they suspended Lou INDEFINITELY. What the fuck? He bumped the guy, but he doesn't deserve anything more than 2 games...

[UCFish]

Shit I did not see that. That is ridiculous.

[bustedstuff77]

Can't believe we might actually win today...and D. Lee and Soriano hit homers...

They need this one bad. Not to sound too optimistic, but if they can sweep milwaukee than we are back in it.

[Tiduwho]

What the shit? We are winning?

[DMBCubs25]

i like seeing the dave alpien valley advertisements there showing during the games lately, o and were actually winning, thats kinda nice

[UCFish]

Well things that are nice to see.

Pie back on the team and a runner of the opposite team thrown out trying to steal. (Nice not to have Barrett out there on D)

[davehead86]

They need this one bad. Not to sound too optimistic, but if they can sweep milwaukee than we are back in it.

Yeah, this could really help, and the fact that we swept the Brew Crew at the begining of the year with our hitting.

Well things that are nice to see.

I know Barret blows some plays, but is it honestly worse than other major league catchers?

[Ev42]

who did they send down so Pie could come up

[UCFish]

Ward to DL.

CUBS WIN!!!

[DMBZeppelin]

Cubs.com has some nice stats about the Pie call up. It looks like he's here to stay. No more noodle arm Jones in center!

"He can catch everything in the ballpark and he's worked hard on hitting left-handed pitching," Hendry said. "He's kept his numbers up extremely well at Triple-A. Hopefully, he can give us a spark. He can run like heck. Hopefully, he can give us a big boost."

Pie began the season at Iowa, was called up to the big-league team April 17 to May 9, and then was sent back to the Minor League team. He was hitting .389 overall for Iowa, including a .468 average against right-handed pitchers compared to a .156 mark against lefties. Pie batted .376 in May.

"We'd like him to play out there for a long time," Hendry said.

Pie batted second in his second turn at Iowa, and was hitting .367 in that spot in the order.

"Lou told me when he sent me down that if a guy's on second base, I have to get him over, so I did," Pie said. "I've been working hard."

In his first game back with Iowa on May 10, he went 3-for-5 and scored two runs. He's had 10 multi-hit games in the last 20, including a 4-for-4 game May 28 against Oklahoma. Pie had the right attitude when he was sent down in May.

"It's my job," he said. "If they sent me to rookie ball, I'm going to work hard."

"This is no extended trial," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "We brought him up here to play. He's going to play."

Awesome. So happy to see a cannon in center. Also I would rather watch him strike out then see Jones ground into another innning ending double play.

meathead MB strikes agian

[Tiduwho]

Jaque blowing blows in the outfield...Barrett blowing plays behind the plate (dropped strikeout reach safely). Just another day at the ballpark.

[DMBCubs25]

make that 4 extra outs we have handed them tonight, the defense besides ramirez has been pathetic

[Ev42]

this team f'n blows. why i'm still watching:ugh

[Tiduwho]

Jaque blowing blows in the outfield...Barrett blowing plays behind the plate (dropped strikeout reach safely). Just another day at the ballpark.

...Letting a ball drop at the pitcher's mound between FIVE players. DeRosa dropping a possible double play ball...

[DMBCubs25]

this is typical cubs baseball, score 10 runs one day, then come right back with 1 the next day

[Tiduwho]

Good work Cubbies. Way to come back. Still no outs, two on, and Soriano is up.


EDIT: 3 Run Homer! :multi

[Ev42]

why do they still let will ohman pitch i hate him.

[Bron Yr Aur]

That homer was nice...got back, turn on the tv just in time to see that...

[DMBCubs25]

bout time soriano starts earning his paycheck

[Tiduwho]

Soriano 5 for 5 today. Good work.

[rick8285]

A step in the right direction? Dare I say?

[Tiduwho]

We need to win 7 more in a row. Then I will be able to breath easy again.

[UCFish]

Supposedly the Cubs are looking to Trade Jones. Best newsI have heard all day.

Good...Jones isn't a bad player...but he's been pretty bad offensively and defensively this year, and we have so many outfielders that are all the same. Maybe we can get a decent relief pitcher for him.

[DMBCubs25]

lilly looked terrible today

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Well it was an interesting late rally.

Soriano didn't play like he did yesterday I'll tell ya that much.

I almost went to yesterday's game at Miller Park. Last time I went to a Cubs vs Brewers game ( last year ) a Brewer hit a homerun on the opening pitch and the rest of the game nothing happened.....NOTHING. We lost 1-0. It was the most boring game ever.

So yesterday, at first I was like man I'm glad I didn't waste money on this boring game. Then in the 7th the cubs got 5 runs and lept into the lead. I was so pissed I didn't go after that.

[Bron Yr Aur]

Not too bad of a game tonight...good news is the offense is starting to show up more often, bad news is we still can't get it done in the clutch or win close games.

[boarderx5423]

Big game tomorrow. I'll be watching (and possibly drunk). :D

[UCFish]

Hey hey! They were just talking about my hometown of Genoa City! :multi


We've got 2,000 people, and downtown GC is an entire intersection. It's a heck of a 4-way stop. We've got a small supermarket, a bank, a haircuttery, a broken down theater, and finally a broken down restaurant. GC is the shit! :multi


(This was all in conjunction with the Young and the Restless based in "our town"...which is hilarious considering our town is the farthest thing from a soap opera).

Cubs are kicking ass. Zambrano is 2 for 2, and Pie has a double and a 3 run homer. Go Cubbies.

eriously we got a no hit bid.... i had to do it cant hate on that. I love Pie..On another not eone of my fraternity brothers took sean gallaghers gf to prom his senior year. (tey went to the same high school)

[Tiduwho]

Sean Gallagher? and some pics of this gf are pretty necessary.

[gocubsgo3822]

he got called upfrom AA

I've been a big Pie supporter for a while. In 3 games he got his batting average up from .230's to the .270's which is nice to see. I couldn't believe he stole second with a step to spare after getting a horrible jump. The man can run. I just hope his thumb isn't too serious.

Holy shit. Long time man. How have you been. You still in O-Town??

Doing great, still in orlando, finished up a masters at UCF, and am now working for the feds. Life is good though, glad to see your still doing well. Guess I know where to go if I need a deal at Hyatt huh?

[bothedmbfan]

There it is.

Bringing Pie back up is the best decision this club has made in a while.

Definitely. I have got the Hyatt hookup I can say that. I do miss the shit out of Florida though. I went back in January for almost two weeks and had an amazing time. I was fucking shocked though with the UCF campus. That place really blew up. It is amazing how different everything is. I am hoping to make it down again this year for one of the games at the new stadium.

Hey hey! They were just talking about my hometown of Genoa City! :multi


We've got 2,000 people, and downtown GC is an entire intersection. It's a heck of a 4-way stop. We've got a small supermarket, a bank, a haircuttery, a broken down theater, and finally a broken down restaurant. GC is the shit! :multi


(This was all in conjunction with the Young and the Restless based in "our town"...which is hilarious considering our town is the farthest thing from a soap opera).

I been through that bunk ass town of genoa...:lol :lol
there aint shit out there

Genoa City, Wisconsin. Not to be confused with Genoa, Illinois. They're double us in size.

So with the 3rd pick in the draft, we selected 3B Joshua Vitters. Steve Stone said that he is the best hitter in the country, and the best pick we could have hoped for.

Rich Hill so far:

7 IP 10 Ks 3 Hits 1 ER


Just a fluke solo shot to Andruw Jones is it. Keep up the good work. Combine this with that 1 hitter from Schill, and my pitching had a good day in fantasy.
