Thats why they are really good. How we all forget.

i love our wins, they come with little doubt and league leading runs.
But im a fan of losing how most teams do, and not cubs losing by finding ways.

besides this one
and one in Milwaukee, name one.
Go on. Name it.
Then name all the games he WON. The DBacks games. The games against the Padres last week. Go on.

last night
getting picked off like a dumbass in the 9th. That didn’t help did it?
That potential run wins that game. And…....we could have had a couple more wins when he was hitting a buck fifty during the 1st 30 games or so couldn’t we have?
I am just saying…..the good is at least balanced out with the bad
that was a potential hit and run, and Theriot didn't get a good pitch.
But it didn’t cost us the game. marquis’ crappy pitching cost us that game.

and marquis did fine. not great but not crappy.
CAN WE DH SORIANO??

Good grief. He better take some fucking accountability for his horrible defense.

Defensive replacement...
Lou really needs to cut this “superstar” BS and bring in a defensive replacement for Sori in close games in the 9th. You have to put feelings aside and do what’s best for the team.
''As long as he doesn't talk World Series, I'm happy.'' Lou Piniella on Ronny Cedeno.
thats 2 games
Piniella or Soriano have cost us with his awful D
When does Lou figure out to take him out in those spots
If it were Dusty everyone would hammer him
Seriously
I dont care if Soriano has streaks of 420 hitting.. He is awful and will go down as one of the worst free agent signings of all times….
we are stuck with home forever
yuppppppp
I said that last year
The worst free abent blunder ny anyone ever
better off
IF SORIANO WERE NOT PLAYING
Just wait a couple years to see how truly bad that signing was
Not to mention....
Barry Zito, Juan Gonzalez, Kevin Brown, Albert Belle…
There’ve been a lot of bad baseball contracts. Calling Sori the worst when he carried the team for a month last year is a tad extreme, dontcha think?
no worse than
the Soriano lovers who can’t see he is bad
Listen I am not a "Soriano Lover"
as you state. Just viewing the WHOLE game. You can place blame all over the freaking place, starting with Ted Lilly giving up to jacks to Luis Rivas, I mean come on. Dome goes 0 for 5 at the plate and look bad doing it.
Last night DeRosa strikes out with the bases jacked, Cubs get the first two on in the 13th no out and don’t score, hell they can’t even get the runner to third.
Blame goes all around. Sori’s drop is magnifed because of the timing of the play.
I like the guy, not my favorite Cub. Just being realistic, HE IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!
"Have You heard of the Boom on Mizar 5?"
like I said
he wins games…......but gives away many when he’s cold at the plate (ICE COLD)
and he’s bad in LF every single day
we got soriano
the same offseason carlos lee was available….......
worst ever?
Hardly. Frustrating? You bet.
Perception is 9/10ths of the law. - Steve Young, NFL legend and multiple concussion recipient.
Soriano will prove this out…
He cant play the outfield, He cant run any more…
He is streaky hitter ….meaning there are sooo many games he doesnt even show up for…
I would love to have a soriano wins and losses column…. because there are a few of each this yer

Horrible loss
Team seems weary, tired, or something.
Yes we can trash Soriano for the hachett job in left, But how many times are Cub relievers hitting guys to start an innning ( Woody) or walking guys (Marmol).
And Lilly needs a little accountability here, Louis “Freaking” Rivas.
But Sori will get killed, stayed tuned for the avalanche.
"Have You heard of the Boom on Mizar 5?"
I wouldn't blame anything on Marmol. If it wasn't for him, who knows where'd we be.

look harder
Lieber is good. Howry is picking it up. Wuertz pitched well yesterday. Gallagher has put himself in the rotation. Marmol is teh sh!t. And Woody can be dominant.

by drewishdrewid on May 25, 2008 4:29 PM CDT up reply actions
agreed there
Our pitching problems are from the rotation. The bullpen cannott stop them each and every time
Fine
Cubs went 8-2 last homestand, and Soriano went off, I guess that is in the rear view mirror.
Hey I am not going to defend him dropping the ball, But to blame this whole game on him, can’t do it.
"Have You heard of the Boom on Mizar 5?"
soriano's losing games with his defense
and if he can’t run…he should go on the DL…he’s useless limping around the bases and limping around the outfield

Think Long Term
DH ALfonso for a couple weeks – give Micah a look.
In two weeks Soriano comes back ‘healthy’ – the Edmonds experiment ends – the team gets an idea about Hof’s ability for the expanded roster and the Cubs remain competitive.
Hendry?

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrg!
Lou is an idiot. Who is going to pitch the 8th at the end of the year when Marmol’s arm falls off?
Seriously.
Where was Wood? Is the experiment over?

he was warming up in the bullpen...
probably would have came in after lieber
Up Yours
The team blows two completely winnable games in excrutiating fashion and you call names about folks complaining.
Screw.
You.

Just to Clarify
It’s not about being a troll
It’s about being frustrated – with poor play, poor decisions, poor execution.
To drop the ‘troll’ tag on this is surprisingly idiotic.

The Cubs
will win the Central. But ther’s no way they can beat another playoff team as constructed
We are way too inconsistent
go deep in the playoffs….and we need another dominate starter to go deep in the playoffs.
not dramatically different from last year...
... and we saw what happened then.
In the middle of a good time, Truth gave me her icy kiss. Look around, you must be joking. All that way, all that way for this -Oysterband
OT--Bulls
did noah get arrested for drugs and alcohol?? if so i’m expecting an apology from, well you know who you are. i said he was a cancerous thug and needed to be gotten rid of and i was quickly rebuffed.
It might beeeeee!! It could beeeeeee!! It issssss!! Homerun!! Holyyyyyyy Cow!!!
When did this happen?

Labelling
People who are angry about ineptitude are not necessarily trolls. Perhaps you would rather see a post like this?
“It’s OK guys. Sure, they lost a game they should have won. Sure they had to extend our bullpen for the second day in a row, something that could hurt the team long term. It’s OK. We’ll get them tomorrow! Yay! Team!”
In the middle of a good time, Truth gave me her icy kiss. Look around, you must be joking. All that way, all that way for this -Oysterband
thank you
and yes…....I am angry about the ineptitude. It’s embarrassing
YOU WISHED FOR HIM TO BE RE-INJURED!
That is not acceptable. And frankly, your apology, balanced against your other rantings, combined with the fact that you RARELY post in a game thread when we’re winning make your nature all too apparent.

I expect them
to win. And…........I DO post when they are winning. I do not have the time to be at a computer every damn game. They should be winning…so maybe I don’t get as emotional when they actually play close to their abilities
Like I said…...I really don’t wish him hurt….......just play better
agree
we don’t have heated debates when the team is winning because there is nothing to debate about. when the team wins 12-3 there’s nothing to debate…all we can say is good job.
A troll is
Someone who makes baseless, unrealistic, inflammatory remarks.
Like “DFA soriano”
"There are no curses here...Games are won and lost on the baseball field" - Lou Piniella
soriano
needs to go on the DL if he can’t run. He is obviously having problems with it because he isn’t limping because of confidence issues. He’s doing us no good limping around the field right now.
Agreed.
Let me point out that cubsmania said this in a way that didn’t namecall, that didn’t use profanity, and that summed it up without using nasty language in any way.
We’re all frustrated at the last two losses. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have civilized discussion here.
Thank you.
"That's my opinion and if you don't like it, well, I have others." ~ Groucho Marx
ultimately
Lou is to blame here. Take the guy out in late innings with the lead.
We haven't won a road series
since the first road series this year. Pathetic.
"In all the categories that you pay the most attention to, except the loss column, we're doing very well" - Jim Hendry
And what was the complaint last year?
That they couldn’t win at home.
I don’t care where they win, so long as they do.
