2008 Cubs: Why Beat A Team in Regulation, when you can beat them in extras?
My therapist has asked me to ask you to refrain from doing that again.

Ahhh a fresh start
Lets get some runs!

Wow, BlueMike changes to MDBNIU
Now, he changes to cwyers. Never saw that coming.
"This is the kind of thing … that makes you want to see the Chicago Cubs team lose." Marty Brennaman
Wait?
I thought you said he completes me. Now are you going to use my words against me?
"This is the kind of thing … that makes you want to see the Chicago Cubs team lose." Marty Brennaman
So was mine.
We’re confusing each other. You might really be MDBNIU!

marquis is great
clearly setting up the DP for Estes, brilliant imo

Glad to see Jenas get pulled. He’s brutal.

what are they gonna tell him? “hay jason, lets get an out here against the worst hitting team in the majors kthx”
did he TLR the walk to the mound?

Wow
A successful sacrifice bunt… taking notes?

Hopefully thats his last start in a cub uniform
This would be a horrible game for us to lose
after winning 4 of 4?
How is it “horrible”? Never good to lose, but…
"This is the kind of thing … that makes you want to see the Chicago Cubs team lose." Marty Brennaman
It would be a tough loss seeing how we came out quickly with a 3-0 lead
and marquis gives it right back to the worst offensive team in the majors

It's our 5th starter...
I mean, giving up 4 is bad, especially in the way we did…but did we really think Marquis wouldn’t give up about 4 runs in 5 innings?
"This is the kind of thing … that makes you want to see the Chicago Cubs team lose." Marty Brennaman
No, we thought he would, just about.
4/5*9 is is a 7.20 ERA, a bit high for him but not outside of his reach. We just think the Cubs have five pitchers who are better than him, which makes that whole “he’s the fifith starter” business a distraction from the actual facts at hand.
Oh, I'm not saying he should be our 5th starter either.
DFA him all the way to Ballpark of Arlington Hell.
Just saying, it’s not a horrible game to lose. Tough one.
Whatever though, really not all that important. Conversation over?
"This is the kind of thing … that makes you want to see the Chicago Cubs team lose." Marty Brennaman
Not arguing Marquis pitched badly.
Arguing how this is a “horrible game to lose”
"This is the kind of thing … that makes you want to see the Chicago Cubs team lose." Marty Brennaman
I should have said it would be a "tough" one to lose

BTW, I deffo think Berbs is gone.
Just saw Keano’s cross, Berbs whined, Keano yelled at him and pointed to his eye as if to say “uh, I did cross, lay off the ciggies and maybe you could slot it home.”
"This is the kind of thing … that makes you want to see the Chicago Cubs team lose." Marty Brennaman
Yeah.
Again, though, why the hell did Ramos play Keane so damn deep until after the half? Berbs wants to go back to European play.

Who else? I’d love to see us get a guy that’s touch first, speed second. I realize he’s way too sucky of an example, but a Blanco type guy.

Thank you for sharing your opinion.
I hope you have a long and interesting life that doesn’t involve coming into contact with actual baseball knowlege, because that seems to have worked for you so far.
actual baseball knowledge?
you do realize he has 57 abs right? Lots of players can look good in limited time. See: Shelton, Chris
I am well aware of it.
In fact, that’s about how long Mike Fontenot looked like a good baseball player before the truth set in. Lou just hasn’t noticed yet.
It looks like to me
they are using fontenot for what he is, as a bench player, which is what his career will probably wind up being. As far as Cedeno, my only guess is limit his playing time, so it looks like he is having a good year. Then trade him while his value is high
This isn't fantasy baseball.
You can’t limit a player’s playing time once he reaches a certain BA or OBP and then sell after that player not playing regular.
No GM is that stupid. Ok there’s a few.

One run should be doable, although it never seems to fail that whenever a team scores mass, metric buttloads of runs….then the next day they come out flat.

I think he’s just rather… Marquis is what he is at this point, and Lou isn’t the last person to have figured it out. But what are you going to do, right?
Yeah, this pretty much sums it up.

Well, Lou probably wouldn't throw Marquis under the bus too explicitly.
But, like cwyers said, he was just sort of shrugging with this funny smirk on his face. As if to say, “Yeah, I know he’s not very good. This is about the best we can expect, y’know?”

And who made the last out with runners on first and second? None other than Juan Pierre.
Nanika Ga Okoru!
Oh, and remember, folks: Alfonso Soriano is NOT batting leadoff. He's batting first.
The REAL problem
Theriot’s bunt in the fifth, metaphorically and literally, is the reason why we lost this game tonight. One thing a team with a jumbled order, no consistent pinch hitters not named “Ward” on a shallow bench, and a suspect rotation CANNOT afford to do is play with weak fundamentals. Just as Theriot’s bunt should have advanced the runners and possibly won the game, I fear that weak fundamentals could possibly keep the club from playing Championship-caliber ball.
...and, with that, the thread went silent.
Nanika Ga Okoru!
Oh, and remember, folks: Alfonso Soriano is NOT batting leadoff. He's batting first.

"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
ascanio has been really good
"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
That is interesting
Lou Piniella seems to geniuenly like Hoffpauir. The problem is can the 28 year old hit at this level if he is only grabbing an ocassional at bat. And what do you really do with him defensively? He’s never played the outfield before and isn’t exactly a natural born athlete. With the presence of Daryl Ward already on this ballclub I have extra hard time figuring a role for Hoffpauir.
Mr. Towers, tear down this wall (er, I mean give us back Greg Maddux) !
We could turn into the Crew here soon.
Hoffpauir, Fox…good hitters with no position.
"This is the kind of thing … that makes you want to see the Chicago Cubs team lose." Marty Brennaman
Hoffpauir and Fox aren't good hitters...
...at least not in the context of guys like Fielder, Braun or LaPorta. They’re Daryle Ward Lite at best.
i think ascanio is interesting
"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
Strange game
Can’t win em’ all. But this was a strange game. It seem liked both teams were significantly off their rhythm because of the constant threat of the tarp coming out. I think the Cub hitters were pressing thinking they had to hurry up and get a couple runs before the tarp came out and the game probably goes down as a rain-shortened contest.
But the umps kept letting them play.
Mr. Towers, tear down this wall (er, I mean give us back Greg Maddux) !
rain????
sorry amin SC and could not see
"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
It was certainly a factor....
...one year ago, this game doesnt make it out of the 5th. No way the old field would have handled that rain
Felix Pie must play everyday!
CSN asked DeRosa about Edmonds, and his response:
“They keep signing guys, and when Big Z pitches I’m going to be hitting ninth in this lineup!”
I love Mark DeRosa
The best free agent signing next to Kosuke and Greg Maddux during the Jim Hendry regime. DeRosa is a professional ballplayer in every dimension. Big asset to this ballclub too.

Scrubs!
Haven’t read all the comments, so please excuse me if this point’s already been made, but has anyone else noticed that the Cubs have a penchant for losing to complete scrubs? Seems like the surest way to beat us is to call up a career minor leaguer and let him start. I mean, Estes??? Come on!
Did we really put Jose Macias on the field? Really???
That's baseball...
...but I will also say, Estes made some real good pitches tonight against some of the Cubs best hitters.
