We just can't hit playoff-quality pitching

The hitting disappears against good pitchers with a good plan. And we can’t afford to play Fukudome. Johnson works for me, but Pie would be better, too..

Maybe we need to watch tape of the Phillies putting away Sabathia today. Could learn a thing or two.

how he didn’t get an error in the 2nd inning on the hit-&-run is rediculous….he gloves it, he gets an out at first. Bad decision by the scorer.

The magic has gone bye bye..........

that was not the team that won 97 games…..that was the team that was scared of post season……..or there really is a curse of some kind……..I don’t know but wish I knew what it felt like to feel good during a post season……

Realisticlly the Cubs have weaknesses, every team does and the damn offense has just disappeared.

I could see the D costing us a game because to me our D is poor, especially middle infield, but the poor showing by our top hitters that is extremely frustrating.

I think the unbalanced schedule can hide a weaker team, too.

If Harden wins

then Lilly on Sunday? Never know??

BELIEVE!

by cubbie08 on Oct 2, 2008 11:52 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

never know

but we need fielding, pitching and hitting

I dont have high hopes all three of those can come together from what they have shown

by bheidge on Oct 2, 2008 11:54 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

If it happens then it has to start with shut down pitching and tight D.

I know I said no chance above but hey, we have another game to play, let’s try our best.

It's easier to take these losses in terms of the next day effect...

…I took ff work the day after in 2003, that was far more painful. This is very painful, but it’s more like “the posers were not that good” rather than a few outs from the WS.

Hell no! We all gotta vent.

Lou just did!! And I quote: “No more Fukudome”

Said he'll play Fontenot or Reed but no more Dome

Aramis Ramirez and Reed Johnson during warm ups at their rehab assignment with the Peoria Chiefs at Kane County. Aramis Ramirez missed a home run by about 2 feet at his first at bat and ended up with a stand up double. He later took a base-on-balls and scored twice. Reed Johnson also had a hit and scored. Here are the rest of the photos.

by ccav23 1 day ago 7 comments | 0 recs

Buster Olney said a few days ago that the Braves would entertain offers for their 26 year old shortstop (who makes 450k) Yunel Escobar. He is a plus bat, a solid defender, and would move Theriot to his more appropriate position at second. They are looking for a bat in return. Apparently Cox doesn't like the guy. I couldn't even speculate what we'd have to send them in return, but I think he would be a good fit given his low salary, his productive bat, his position, and his age. I don't care if he's a jerk if he makes the team win more. What would it take?
