Frankly speaking, I am really wondering what the hell is going on.

Z has disappeared, and Lou claims he doesn’t know where he is. Howry gets put in during a close game, and gives up a sh*t load of runs without getting an out, Casey M. is called on to pinch-hit during some crucial at-bats. DeRo called on to bunt yesterday. Wow. I just don’t get it. Call me stupid.

I may sound stupid saying this

but i feel the reason why they are slumping is because they are not getting as many walks and these last 4 games it seems like teams are trying to pound the strike zone to get ahead of them in counts

agreed

they’ve been trying too hard to get those clutch hits and they just haven’t been coming natural like all this season.

by cubsfaninatl on Sep 3, 2008 9:17 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yeah...

usually when we have big innings we start off with 2 walks or even just one we just need to get a few this next inning

I’m really tired of this guy wearing us out this year and he is very annoying to me…..but I can’t help but respect the way he plays the game. I can’t think of a single instance of him playing lazy (or even close to it).
