Gotta load the bases here, right?

Why are they pitching to Bautista?

Fundamentally unsound...

that's this team so far.....incredible amount of unsound, bonehead play....do these guys think it is still spring training??? Why oh why does this team struggle against this crap Pirate team????

ROFLROFLROFL

suicide squeeze worked to perfection other than the runner not moving, thanks buccos

Talk about screwups!

That's a rookie callup on 3B. He didn't run!!

Nice play by Lee as well.

Can we please, please do something offensively here

Soriano just stick your arm out and get hit

by CubsBall2202 on Apr 7, 2008 4:10 PM CDT 0 recs

NO WAY...

Alfie is going YARD here....smart hacking to the rescue!

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

by santoswoodenlegs on Apr 7, 2008 4:11 PM CDT up 0 recs

Any pitcher that gives him anything decent to hit is an idiot.

The guy gets himself out everytime by hacking at garbage.

by CubsBall2202 on Apr 7, 2008 4:11 PM CDT up 0 recs

haha how about soriano hitting a game-winner?

then is all forgiven?

by RightFieldSucks on Apr 7, 2008 4:10 PM CDT 0 recs

Well, at least blowing a 7-0 lead would be forgiven.

That play by D Lee was awesome....

I loved how fired up he was when they got that 3rd out...

Let me get back to you, will ya, Charlie? I got a guy on the other line asking about some white walls.

by JB 23 on Apr 7, 2008 4:10 PM CDT 0 recs

Okay that was worse than the Cubs today...

how did that bunt even happen without anyone else in Pittsburgh knowing about it???

by razzpunk on Apr 7, 2008 4:11 PM CDT 0 recs

One word...

D-Lee. That play had no shot. it was a bad bunt...hit too sharpy to Lee.

Theriot did his job there.

Give him the bunt sign if he knows what that is.

by CubsBall2202 on Apr 7, 2008 4:14 PM CDT 0 recs

doubt it.....i'd be amazed if he pulled it off the way things have been going

------ TheRiot Squad ------

by RightFieldSucks on Apr 7, 2008 4:14 PM CDT up 0 recs

Hopefully he can produce here for the $136 million he is getting paid.

by CubsBall2202 on Apr 7, 2008 4:15 PM CDT up 0 recs

Here's where Soriano is maddening.

It's all or nothing. Can't bunt, or won't bunt. Let's hope he crushes one.

I'd also like to see Theriot try to steal.

Okay...lead off man to start the inning twice in a row now...

can we take advantage???? The Sweet Swinging (and missing) Soriano will no doubt advance the runner.....come on Cubs....

by neverAcquiesce on Apr 7, 2008 4:17 PM CDT up 0 recs

I have it all figured out

The Cubs have now used up their quota of errors, passed balls, missed bunts, and misjudged fly balls for the entire road trip. They've gotten everything out of their system today.

Win this one in extras, and the rest of the trip will be great!
