It's an hour and a half into this game. I'm hoping Ryan Dempster is still pitching (and pitching well).

Four unearned runs.
Thus, I’d say he’s pitching pretty well.

Pat on the Radio is saying all 5 unearned
Wasn’t one of them a HR???

Doesn't matter.
If there’s an error during an inning, and then the 2nd out is registered, it’s assumed the inning is over. You could score ten runs after that and they’d all be unearned.

Gotcha...
Maybe I misheard him, i’m listening on the internet and its going in and out. How did Pie’s catch look?

No, he definitely just said again all 5 unearned
by GoCubbies34 on May 5, 2008 7:53 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Then he's wrong, because the boxscore shows 1 earned run.

I've seen it both ways
mlb.com saying one earned run, stats.com which i have open for a fantasy league, is saying all 5 runs unearned.
by circuitclout on May 5, 2008 8:25 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I guess you have to assume the first error would have been a DP
For all 5 unearned
by GoCubbies34 on May 5, 2008 8:27 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
you know, I think I'm starting to sour on the whole earned vs unearned distinction
it’s not often I agree with something Brenly says but he said “hey, they all count”. Sure if there’s no error, you get out of the inning that much faster, but if the pitcher still gives up tons of hits after that error, I’d say he’s not a very good pitcher.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
by ballhawk on May 5, 2008 7:50 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Point taken, but...
... it’s a way of measuring how many runs are due strictly to the pitching. If the inning should have been over after an error, then how can you say “he gives up tons of hits so he’s not a very good pitcher”?

'cause he isn't bearing down, he lets it get into his head, he must be throwing meatballs up there, etc.
I agree of the need to distinguish from a statistical perspective, but a good pitcher should be able to get the next guy out (or pretty soon thereafter), regardless of what happened on the previous play.

The announcers are also kind of
hinting towards this, but Soto, and his bat, literally came out of nowhere last year. Honestly, take a look at his minor league history before 2007. I, for one, am kind of surprised that there haven’t been any rumblings of him and a steroid/HGH allegation. I’m happy obviously, but surprised.
There was a poster who also talked about this right before the Mitchell Report was released, but I forget his/her name.

Re: brenneman is garbage
So the Cubs magic number has been 3 (as in it seems they can’t score more than 3 runs) and their last 7 losses have been by 3 runs or less…so not quite sure that watching the rest of this game is a great use of time. We can bemoan the pitching and defense all we want, but the offense has been putrid during this stretch.
By the way, on the Reds broadcast even though the replay clearly showed Lee’s foot stayed on the bag Brenneman refuses to acknowledge it was a bad call.

Dero is not hitting very far from his lifetime batting average of .277.
I sometimes think that people expect too much from him.
by zevkalman on May 5, 2008 8:31 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I for one don't think that he should be an everyday player
He will excel as a super sub, an utility player if used as such.

He does need to go back to basics: up the middle, opposite field, etc.

by Chanman25 on May 5, 2008 8:30 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Agreed on DeRosa
Looks like another 3 run offensive performance. The only silver lining is that I hope Pinella goes off on this team. 19 runs in one game – who cares. You then score 3 runs or less in 4 or next five games. I mean a lineup that has Fontenot, Pie, Pitcher and Soriano batting consecutively is in my opinion a terrible, terrible lineup. Not to mention Fontenot has been utterly abysmal in the field this year at 2B – at least Pie makes a nice catch every now and then.
That said, the Cubs have ripped a few balls tonight that have been caught and the first inning for the Reds was obviously a real joke. That’s how it goes during bad streaks. I think the problem now with getting Brian Roberts is we can’t afford to give up Sean Marshall anymore, sad to say.

ok, I'm kinda with you so far...
...but can you also explain the need for people to post hurtful, hateful, invective comments?
Here’s my point – take tonight’s game, top of 9th, bases loaded and Fontenot tries to score on the passed ball but is called out. Now if you’re at the game, watching it on TV, or even listening on the radio, I don’t think anyone here would begrudge a rather audible “fck” or “sht” or “gddmnt” or even all three. That’s an instant reaction for most folks and under the circumstances, completely understandable.
But take the same situation, and now you’re sitting at the keyboard (not you specifically, but the generic you). I don’t care how fast you can type, it still takes some time for you to type those same curse words or other hateful comments that we’ve seen here. Even if you’re frothing at the mouth, what good does typing those words do for you? Do you really feel better by typing into a little comment box instead of letting loose a bunch of expletives into the air or punching a pillow or throwing something at the TV? I don’t think so.
So the only alternative I can see is that for some reason, you want everyone here to know how pissed you are. Somehow it’s important to you that others see and feel your hate for a player, coach, broadcaster, etc. I just don’t know why. And I’m not talking about the myriad of doom and gloom comments we get, or the eye-rolling, or the Cedeno/Onedec tags, and even the occasional “poop!”. I’m talking about the comments that are clearly over the line. Can anyone explain why you (again, the generic “you”) post those diatribes? I’m sorry but I’m just not buying the “heat of the moment” argument. There’s just too much involved with typing and posting to NOT make this a instant reaction type of thing.

I say usually 1-2 comments during a loss
and about a billion during a win. So now you can call me a fair-weather fan or a troll or whatever you non-stop positive people. This is a Blogging website to discuss the cubs and not a website dedicated to giving happy go lucky phrases after every loss, “well get them tommorow” or “maybe next year”. Some people wanna discuss what the problems are and why we are losing 8 out of the last 11.
I dont thin the season is over, I dont think we arent even going to make the playoffs. Welcome to the real world where people can be upset while also making rational statements.

What’s wearing me out, personally, is your unsubstantiated, pointless meanderings about how this or that sucks. I see it too. Now, what can we do to fix it?

Not counting trades this team need to find some fire, because as soon as we are losing you all as much as me can feel the Cubs just going out and doing the motions. Smart at bats and clutch hitting hasnt been there for over 10 games.

none of us can change anything but we can talk about it.
I was blind and thought oh who cares if we are 6-0 against the pirates we are a good team. Now i realize its not true and we can only feed off the bad teams and barely split games against the good teams and its emberassing.

Some people vent in the forums by saying this or that person is bad which is true, others of you scan the comments for anything negative so you can jump down their throat and i really think its your way of venting which is fine, we all hate losing.

The Cubs get breaks...
when they are winning and during a streak like this it seems like, yes:
1) Every ball ripped is right at an outfielder
2) The umps blow every close call
3) Guys that never get hits in clutch situations – Pie, Fontenot – finally get one and it ends up not mattering
4) Middle relievers do their job but we can’t come back and make it count
5) Woody pitches scoreless when it isn’t a save chance
6) every error opens floodgate to runs
HOpefully the tide will turn soon.
by BeltwayCubsFan on May 5, 2008 9:00 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
This last week
showcases the teams shortcomings. Starting pitching. Too many utility guys who are starting. Poor middle relief. And a very streaky superstar.
This game mirrors the other losses of the last ten days: lots opportunities, that they can’t cash in on. The “calls” only go so far. The players have to step up. And, whoever keeps saying, “We’ll get ‘em tomorrow” You said that yesterday, too. Enough.
