What happened to the no large
pictures in game threads rule?
Just don’t do it
"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.

Boy, Ihope he snaps out of it soon. It seems like he has hit into a ton of GIDPs this week.

I have a bad feeling about this series...
if we win only one—i’ll be ok with that.
I'm a good speller, but my typing creates a SERIOUS vacuum. (especially while I'm at work sticking it to the man)

looks at an awful alot of pitches. Alot of them that he looks at are hittable pitches. I hope he snaps out of it, because he is a potent bat and the leader of this team. If he doesn’t swing the bat well he makes our lineup look alot weaker.

Well, since when has he been known to muck up?
He had 4 errors in all of 2006 when he was used as a regular in ‘06. His FP and RFg is good as well.
I don’t think you know what you’re talking about with Matt Murton as a “bad” outfielder.
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
Murton is average
of course he has little if any practice for about 10 days.
However HE IS THE ONLY LEFT FIELDER WE HAVE so might have been nice
if Lou had figured that out before the game started. You don’t like Murton and is his
.295 career than find ANOTHER left fielder but don’t let E-Pat out there
Bad news is that this was by far the most advantageous pitching match up the Cubs had for the

If you were listening to his comments before
He was referencing to the 9th grand slam in the cub/sox series.
After saying that, he did say that STEVE Swisher hit the grand slam.
Good night....the dirty shirted White Sux fans can jeer and cheer today.....

play again today. Injuries are catching up. Poor fundamental play from the rooks. This could be a very long weekend.
"Chicago Cubs fans are ninety percent scar tissue." - George F. Will
Just some crappy plays from the outfield and infield
Patterson and Fontenot with two simple mistakes, and while it doesn’t account for everything, it adds up. At least we can see what Lieber can do in a long-relief situation for once.

I am sorry this game is frustrating
If people can’t understand that, well too bad. Am I jumping off the ledge, no. But, I am concerned with our left fielder and our slumping no make that “slumped” first baseman. We are playing bad baseball and that makes me upset. I don’t have to bring out pom poms every time the Cubs play.

But you do understand it’s a long season, and there will be highs and lows. At least I hope you understand it. This team is a bit banged-up right now. Another week or so and things will look better.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Jun 27, 2008 4:20 PM CDT up reply actions
You're concerned about this game
when our starting LF and RF are injured to semi-injured, when the current players occupying their position have below-average arms?
Ballclubs go through slumps. The Cubs have been hotter than cow dung for the majority of this season: a 5-5 of last 10 isn’t even that bad of a slump. But, for those new trendy Cubs that are coming through the grape vines this year, then yeah, it’s catastrophic.
You don’t have to bring out pom poms every day, but people don’t have to scream bloody murder as well. Giving out criticism is great, especially if it’s constructive criticism. But there’s a fine line between that and moaning and groaning like a 12 year old—which does absolutely nothing for absolutely no one

Look at the bright side of all this...
expose the injuries and weaknesses NOW, before the trading deadline while the Cubs can still do something about it.
It is just one game. Lou knows that teams go through funks during a 162 game schedule.
But with injuries coming out now, they can hopefully make moves to adjust. Let’s stay calm. Marmol seems to be figuring things out. Hopefully D-GIDP-Lee will figure things out too!!
Go Cubs!!
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
Friday afternoon down by 8
Crappy pitcher on the opposing mound… where have I heard this before?
Way back... outta here!!!
Frustrating last two games (DUH) but at least the All-Star break is coming....
just hope we don’t let STL and MIL get closer by then…..looks like we are entering one of the first really bad stretches of play….let’s keep it a mini-slump instead of a collapse…..guess it is more frustrating because we saw most of this opening half of the season a much better team out there…..lots of dumb stuff happening to us right now…......my biggest problem right now is DLee’s crashing slump…..
I agree
Lee is my single biggest worry right now-maybe it’s going to take a six or seven game losing streak to force Pinella to put him in the 5 spot
by bluekoolaide on Jun 27, 2008 4:27 PM CDT up reply actions
the problem here is
high expectations. We expect to win. We expect them to win EVERY GAME.
It’s impossible.
And frankly, I’d rather get beaten by another first-place team than… Baltimore.
"We expect to win. We go out to win. So we're just living up to our own expectations." Derrek Lee, 5/29/08
Despite the favorable match-up
In hindsight, Dempster was more “due” than an expecting mother at 42 weeks.
Also, the best outfielder was playing DH and the best DH was playing outfield.
Man, is Cedeno auditioning today or what?
''Listen, losing Soriano is no box of chocolates.'' ~Lou Piniella
Our expectations are high but that is partly because we still have the best record in baseball....
so we got used to seeing the best of this team….but every baseball team also shows its ugly side during the long season….just hope to keep the slumpy times to a minimum….if we are still struggling like this by mid to late July then maybe we can start totally freaking out…..
GREAT PLAY BY CEDENO> THAT'S WHAT A ML SS LOOKS LIKE!!!!!!!!!
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
Put them in a cement mixer
and you’ll get TheDeno or CeRiot. I like the latter. One hell of a ballplayer. :-)
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
I know this has been beaten to death
but I think DLee has been the ultimate problem the last few days. If he makes one out instead of two all the time we could have been in every one of those games. I’m frustrated because he has been one of my favorite players for years. Even today, if he puts the ball in play we score. Changes the tone of the game.
Right
That’s why, for his own good as well as the team’s, Pinella HAS TO move him down in the order-it certainly isn’t helping to run him out there everyday and watch his brutal hitting in clutch situations-I’m at the point whee I’m hoping he’ll “only” strike out when he comes up because then at least we have Ramirez up next.
