I hope this is marquis' last inning, we need lieber in there can't take any chances
especially with the beautiful approach we have at the plate tonight.
Sheets at 85 pitches.
It’s as if Yost wants him to go back on the DL.

So plz tell me how im such a bad cubs fan and cant be JUST like YOU cause god knows my dream in life is to become a cubs fan who goes on a public website and tells people they cant be down about the team they love so much.

being respectable is not a precursor to being knowledgeable, or less irritating. And you top if off with trying to validate yourself by not being a drinker? Lord Almighty. And you want to be exactly like me? Dude, you don’t even know me. You have issues.
I bet if the Cubs win you’ll blaze this site to the high heavens, screaming that they’re the best team, like, ever.

Did I say the cubs suck? Did i say i hate them? Did i say anything but it didnt even look like they cared?
I think we both need to agree that we dont know anything about the other so what the point of keeping this argument going? God knows I didnt come in here to argue to some guy ill never meet nor know.

Okay Demps and Z we need you to be rock solid for us the next two....
and let’s get some runs boys….would like to go to Busch feeling somewhat confident with the Cubby swagger…..
Sometimes I just scratch my head.
Most of the Cubs’ pitchers act like they don’t know the importance of getting ahead. Every damn run seems like its because someone fell behind and had to come right over the plate. Also, Lou must have been hitting the Jack before the game. I don’t care if Marquis is a good hitting pitcher. With the bases loaded and two outs, when its clear that Marquis is just hanging around, how the hell do you let him hit. Every run is important.
Its funny, you spend most of your life gripping a baseball. And in the end, its almost always the other way around.

Crummy Cub Pitching
You don’t win games giving up 10 runs! The pitching stinks period.
I hope this puts to rest all the silly World Series talk. This club has a lot that has to go right with their pitching before it can even smell the World Series, much less the playoffs.
Pitching stinks?

Why should I
Prove me wrong, name one team that has ever won a pennant or a World Series that did not have solid starting and relief pitching.
Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it false.
I know you are but what am I?
Dude, you’ve had what, 12 posts on BCB? And they’re 80% negative?
No one here thinks you can win without good pitching. Let’s give what we have a chance though.
"This is the kind of thing … that makes you want to see the Chicago Cubs team lose." Marty Brennaman
Not quite
I was on this site last year, and believed we could get to the World Series, only to see our usual lousy pitching blow another chance.
Of course the season is not over a whole lot of things happen in a marathon. But, we will not reach the goals we all want unless they either trade for, or bring someone up , who can get the job done.
That doesn't make sense.
“The pitching staff sucks, except for 3 guys.”
3 pitchers=25% of the staff.

Greene's an excellent player...
...good defense and he seems to hit very well when he’s not at Petco. I’m not even sure that a Park Factor covers the difference here; Greene’s home-road splits are much broader than the average hitter, and it may be that Greene is affected more than most players by Petco. I’d love to see him in blue pinstripes.
Good call, cwyers
Career numbers…

Just walked in from work/class
Got to the TV w/ 2 out in the Bot 9th. Bummer. Just read that Sheets walked 7 guys, none of which scored. How does this happen?
Little rant: I take the Metra home and there were about 4 kids (looked like they were in their early 20’s; mind you, I’m 22) all decked out in Cubs gear who sat across from me. Of course, the first words out of my mouth were, ‘Did they win? Score?’ One yells out, Who Cares? I’m drunk. The rest laugh and I don’t get an answer. Even after they settled down, they admitted they didn’t know who was winning and that they left, coincidentally, after the 7th Inning Stretch. Needless to say, these are those ‘obnoxious’ fans Marty was bitchin’ about and also the ones that ruin it for the rest of us. But at the same time, it makes me that much more appreciative to know a site like BCB exists where I can carry a real and civil conversation w/ some of the best fans in the world, even if some of you still live at home in your parents basement.
