Time to regroup.

wierd too see D-Lee's average below 300
hopefully he picks it up soon and goes on a tear
by dogcatratcheese on May 17, 2008 1:43 PM CDT reply actions
Ya he could really use a day off
He’s been struggling a bit at the plate this homestand
by CubsBall2202 on May 17, 2008 1:44 PM CDT up reply actions
i know, i was just thinking that, if he's able to get back to last years form,
the cubs just got a lot better

There we go. . .
Maybe a quick inning will get the bats back on track

I'd love to see our hitters get it together in the bottom half of this inning
.... Edit #6: We're gonna go 156 and 6 this year, I can feel it!!!
quickly realizing how unusual it is...
for me to EXPECT a cubs team to score more than 4 EVERY game. I love this team.
.... Edit #6: We're gonna go 156 and 6 this year, I can feel it!!!
hmmm, we need 2 runs in 9 batters, I think we have this won
.... Edit #6: We're gonna go 156 and 6 this year, I can feel it!!!
Dunno on Edmonds
We could, but we also have Fonte and Ward, and Ward’s been gangbusters lately
.... Edit #6: We're gonna go 156 and 6 this year, I can feel it!!!
And we have Pie
Oh wait, man, it’s gonna be weird not putting him in as a Defensive substitute every game
.... Edit #6: We're gonna go 156 and 6 this year, I can feel it!!!
how come they are waiting to put him on?
if he’s got a legit injury and cannot pinch hit, then why not call up someone who can?

Soriano has literally raised his batting average .110 points in two weeks
2008 Cubs: Why Beat A Team in Regulation, when you can beat them in extras?
Man, if this guy ONLY carries us through one month a season
He’s well worth it.
.... Edit #6: We're gonna go 156 and 6 this year, I can feel it!!!
Lieber
looks like he’s coming in. Let’s have the long-bull-pen-man leiber, rather than the starting lieber, ok?
2008: The year we put it all together.
oh nevermind
gameday lied to me
cubs = love
Hey Chanman
Did you end up getting MLB.tv?
.... Edit #6: We're gonna go 156 and 6 this year, I can feel it!!!
well I probably will on Wednesday
since today’s game is blacked out anyway, and I get the rest of the games until then. No point until then.

Ahh, I forgot
I live in Milwaukee, so it’s not blacked out for me

.265 to .289 in one game
not too shabby
2008 Cubs: Why Beat A Team in Regulation, when you can beat them in extras?
Soriano...
The must frustrating player in Cubs history. I hate him one minute, can’t live without him the next. He’s like my senior prom date..
speaking of kerry.
how did he get a save when dempster left with 1 out in the ninth and we’re up by 4, was it b/c there were men on base?
Funny comment by Bob
On everyone in the LF bleachers loving Soriano cause every person back there has gotten a home run ball from in lately
.... Edit #6: We're gonna go 156 and 6 this year, I can feel it!!!
yep
Ward going to the DL

bottom of the eighth we go

Did Lieber just strike out the side?
"Please move away from this vector and get into another coordinate pronto. There's no access for you in this quadrant." Mike Donnelly
no
at least one guy got on with a single.

So, if we get one baserunner in the next two innings, we get to Soriano
I can’t believe that two weeks ago I dreaded that thought.
And now I’m praying for it.
All thanks to the Maddener
.... Edit #6: We're gonna go 156 and 6 this year, I can feel it!!!
He was 6' 2" about 235 and he could whip.....
....any man alive-I’m talking about Jo-on-Big Bad Jon.
BBWAA's name should be changed to "Power in the hands of Fools"
get 1 run and warm up the Wood
don’t go there

Fukodome is the hitter i want up in this spot..
guaranteed quality out
Russell looks like he's got a question mark on his back
It's fun to be a Cub right now. -- Mark DeRosa
I'd never give Dome the bunt sign...
...but if he wants to drop down a bunt, let him do his bidness.
just don't get a double--play
Dome shoudl bunt for a hit.

shucks-Woody’s on my fantasy team-be we need him healthy

It's just that against lefties he seems to hit a ton of grounders to second..
Devin Hester, you are rediculous! -Jeff Joniak
Who is the MVP of this homestand?
a) #12
b) the left fielder
c) the maddener
d) ALL OF THE ABOVE
The 100th time has GOT to be a charm...
why don't you try a few more pickoff attempts
what the hell
I can't believe DeRo is so stupid.
always thought he was a heady player—a couple real dumb stunts today by a couple different guys

Send Lieber back out, if someone gets on bring in Marmol.
Devin Hester, you are rediculous! -Jeff Joniak
Am I a bad fan for wanting it to go to extras just so Sori can bat again with a chance to end it?
Ron Santo should sing TMOTTBG everyday. Period.
And they put FONTENOT
in. Wonderful. Is DeRosa hurt, or is it just the double-switch?
2008: The year we put it all together.
I leave in Lieber with the potential for extras
BBWAA's name should be changed to "Power in the hands of Fools"
Why bring in Fontenot? He's a defensive liability, and on top of that Cedeno is better?!
Devin Hester, you are rediculous! -Jeff Joniak
Cedeno already pinch hit
And because Lou is setting himself up to leave Marmol in if there are extras.
.... Edit #6: We're gonna go 156 and 6 this year, I can feel it!!!
Errors are a poor judge of defensive quality...
...because there’s no accounting for range – it doesn’t tell you who’s better at getting TO balls.
Marmol's pitching should be illegal
in all 50 states and territories.

Well, one bad pitch and it's costly
Bottom of the ninth they go.

nothing working for the cubs today
Our ace starting…....4 IP 4 ER. 3-4-5 hitters…..0-11. .Carlos Marmol…..McClouth goes yahtzee on him.
Soriano
has hit 2 homers

I don't think that they will pitch to Soriano
unless there is no one on base.
by GateCity, VA Cubs Fan on May 17, 2008 2:41 PM CDT reply actions
We can't win every game. Worst case scenerio, were 2 games up on St. Louis. If Z coulda just pitched better, this game would've been over.

Yeah, cause Theriot's an awful hitter, right?
.... Edit #6: We're gonna go 156 and 6 this year, I can feel it!!!
Sigh, only you would try and be happy about that
At least root for him to succeed, please.
.... Edit #6: We're gonna go 156 and 6 this year, I can feel it!!!
They will not pitch to Sori
"I used to play sports. Then I realized you can buy trophies. Now I’m good at everything." --Demetri Martin
Off Topic but the guy I am playing in the fantasy this week has
Alfonso Soriano
Lance Berkman
Chipper Jones
CC Sabathia.
I am getting murdered
Sounds like a shallow league...
All MVPs all the time?
"I used to play sports. Then I realized you can buy trophies. Now I’m good at everything." --Demetri Martin
Fontenot flies out, 2 outs

Soriano 0-2,
Uh-oh

Sticks to the ivy, ground rule double.

wow…..well we didn’t need a HR there
2008 Cubs: Why Beat A Team in Regulation, when you can beat them in extras?
K, root for him people, Theriot's up
And they’ll pitch to him to stay away from lee
.... Edit #6: We're gonna go 156 and 6 this year, I can feel it!!!
Theriot is gonna tie this thing
"I used to play sports. Then I realized you can buy trophies. Now I’m good at everything." --Demetri Martin
Haha, Theriot a sucker for the theatrics
3-0 count.

the oddity of baseball
Soriano and Lee are now batting .295

Full count on Theriot, 3-2

FAIR BALL TO RIGHT!
7-6 WITH LEE HITTING!
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
Lee could win it........
2008 Cubs: Why Beat A Team in Regulation, when you can beat them in extras?
Lee flies out, Game Over

Theriot is a clutch MF

way to go Lee...................
can’t you at least take a pitch?
2008 Cubs: Why Beat A Team in Regulation, when you can beat them in extras?
Well, I just wish Soto would have scored on that play.
That sucked.
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
or Marmol not giving up that 2-run HR
n/t

Or the Pirates ever scoring.

or 100 years
I mean what the hell….
2008 Cubs: Why Beat A Team in Regulation, when you can beat them in extras?
It sucks to lose
But we lose the way good teams lose. Rarely and competitively on an off day.

didn't think i'd see it
but Soriano has a better BA and stats all around than Lee this year..
2008 Cubs: Why Beat A Team in Regulation, when you can beat them in extras?
Meh, good game to watch
At least Sori’s on
It’s also nice to see Theriot be clutch AGAIN (I love that guy)
As well as Lieber.
We’ll get them tomorrow, later all.
.... Edit #6: We're gonna go 156 and 6 this year, I can feel it!!!
Overall weird game
Marmol and Z are not themselves today. Everybody but the big three in the middle are doing there jobs. We will have to get it done tomorrow. Fun game though.
Marmol actually looked REALLY good. Just left one pitch up.
Devin Hester, you are rediculous! -Jeff Joniak
I know were all upset..
But really it’s one game guys! This has been a really fun season so far and worse case scenerio were up 2 games. Just gotta get em’ tomorrow.
Devin Hester, you are rediculous! -Jeff Joniak
Can't get upset about this one
Good game overall. The Bucs deserved to win. The Cubs, if they had come back, would have deserved it, too.
Fun game to watch.
