Im getting impatient with all this impatience
Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
Situation:
A RELIEVER is starting! DON’T swing at the first pitch!

he should swing at it.

Oy
Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
Fukudome has been solved
Pitchers no longer nibble with him, he hasn’t hit for power so they are basically just throwing strikes and daring him to hit it. If you are Lou, it’s find to try these little things like no BP but it really comes down to the lineup just abandoning the plate discipline they showed the first two months of the season. There is nothing radical that can be done. Sure, Fontenot is hot now but we know that goes in streaks. It is funny to see the national sports guys still ranking the Cubs top 3 in the MLB. I think they are the 3rd best team in the division right now and while many will be dismissive I’d say that at this rate they could be in 3rd place by the end of the month.
Another genius checks in
And I guess I could be a millionaire by the end of the month, too. Who knows?

Hey Everyone!
"This is the kind of thing … that makes you want to see the Chicago Cubs team lose." Marty Brennaman
check the dictionary on what a crybaby is
I think people on this board are pretty reasonable. If the team is winning and the Cubs have a bad game no one goes off the deep end. But I think it is perfectly justifiable to express concern and frustration when you have a team in what is basically a season-long offensive road funk and players like Ramirez and Fukudome that have been useless for about a month. They are paid to produce and should be held accountable. It doesn’t mean that they should be booed, but give me a break. No one is crying – the complaints and venting is reasonable

Agreed. There are some over the top comments against the Cubs
But then there are those guys who feel it is there job to tell everyone who isn’t saying “everything is okay” 100% of the time they are wrong. Both are annoying. Just watch the game and enjoy it, criticize and get frustrated if you feel the need to but cheer your ass off as well. Baseball is about a swing of emotions, it is what makes it such a great game.
