Why is Ronny swining when Sherrill has been so wild?
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
the same reason he's on the bench behind Theriot
He doesn’t think the game/situation.
He may have more physical talent, but no feel for the game.
Dumb AB for Ronny. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Gee I didn't know Johnny
was still playing.
"In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the
field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the
defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the
blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and
long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this
aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in
the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.

F--king pitiful.
Bases jacked no outs and you get nothing. Lou better turn over some tables in there, because that type of crap is completely unsat.

So Ronny gets one AB.

Too far, pal.
And Dome and Hank looked every bit as bad as Ronny.

yeah probably maybe far
but Ronny’s AB was awful, and set the tone for the rest of inning

If Cedano got to play more than once a month
...he might have had a better chance there. Lou has some culpibility there my fired up friend.
3 absolutely horrid, putrid, awful, inept, bush league AB's end the game.

Way too much messing with the lefty-righty matchups there early on...
we just don’t have a deep enough bench for that
by Canseco's Roid Party on Jun 24, 2008 10:12 PM CDT reply actions
:(
it had to happen sometime. They battled back well.
Don’t know what was up with Cedeno and those pitches. We were chasing some dirt there. :(
sigh
These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance"
Oh well. It happens
ALTHOUGH all 3 of them should get a reaming for fucking swinging at horrible pitches especially Ronny. If he gets you twice up high, where do you think he’s going for strikE 3 DAMN
Go All In and Enjoy The Ride.
+1
Ronny, Dome, and Blanco looked lost up there

more angry w Ronny than Kosuke or Hank
Sherril was all over the place, going to 3 balls on all 3 previous hitters (I think). Take till he throws a strike. That bad, especially swinging at questionable first pitch and a second at your eyes lets the guy settle a bit. Can’t blame Fooky too much vs lefty w sweeping breaking ball. I expect Blanco to look sad. Might have preferred Big Z there if he was healthy.
We desperately need a RH hitter on the bench
Murton, Cedeno, and Blanco are not going to cut it.

by HectorVillanueva on Jun 24, 2008 10:13 PM CDT reply actions
Ok, Blanco has to stay,
but Murton and Cedeno are not going to cut it. I’d (tongue in cheek – sort of) rather see Z or Marquis at the plate than either of those two right now.

Bases loaded, none out...
the pressure is on the pitcher to throw strikes. All three guys helped him out waaaay too much!

I'm out.
We’ll start our streak again tomorrow.
These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance"
wasn't the idea with Murton to call him up to add to his trade value
I don’t see that happening as of right now

Once RJ returns
then Murton will be sent down.
Adios. Time to sleep this one off.

I'm going to go throw some things.
And then tomorrow I’ll be back calm and rested and celebrating a win. Laterzzz
Go All In and Enjoy The Ride.
Dang it...if only the Cubs had RJ
Then he would have been up there instead of Cedeno!
Oh well,
if nothing else – the refusal to quit tonight made a statement for the rest of the series. Plus, most of the team got an AB against Sherrill – that will come in handy the next two days.
Let’s hope for another streak starting tomorrow.

Holy shit, the select Debbie Downers are in full effect again.
For the love of God, stop saying that certain Cub players are horrible, because ALL of the people who are bitching right now were on that same exact band wagon when said players were on a hot streak (like Cedeno, Blanco).
Sometimes I can’t even stand the people on this blog, or Cubs fans like you guys who whine and complain so much after one loss.
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
Well...
...it was just a bad way to go out, ya know? We left what, 5 guys stranded in the last two innings? And it’s typical to overreact after a tough loss. I think tonight’s banter was much, much more improved than previous days.

Yeah...most fans lose hope right away...even after one loss
People expect this team to be stacked from top to bottom, but obviously not every hitter on this team is a D-Lee, Aram etc. i’m not worried, the Cubs had their number 5 pitcher up there and they had their number 1 pitcher. Guthrie owned the Cubs for majority of the night.
all?
you must really have a good handle on everyone’s historical posts…

The ellipsis at the end just makes that statement 10x more effective.

When your team is as bad-ass as this one. Until Hank struck out, I still really thought they would tie it. How great is that? Go get ‘em tomorrow, Cubs!!!

Well we got good matchups the rest of series
as long we get the good Lilly tomorrow we should take 2 out of 3. I was watching the game on MASN, but did WGN say anything about when Z might start throwing (even if not off a mound)
