Soto is the Dome of 2009
minus the hot start
So is he gonna have a huge 2nd half + postseason?

That's too hard
If you had to choose just one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor.
This really all comes down to a team like the Cubs who have some hitters who choke...
when faced with runners on situations……gives the other team added momentum when they get out of situations like that…..add to that Mr. Emotional on the mound today who cannot handle adversity STILL and we have the makings for this debacle….so far….maybe they will crawl out of this yet today….
It's frustrating watching good players perform poorly

why not? It is up to him to allow less than the opposing team scores

looks like our offense
has decided to just pack it in.
Textbook.....Cubs get some early chances to pounce on a pitcher....build slight lead....
while having a chance to blow it open…..other team gets momentum takes the lead by one…..Cubs stop hitting…..no-name pitcher somehow ends up beating us……BCB meltdown causes split between Positive Polly’s and Negative Nelly’s…..Cards fans dance in the streets in front of my house…..
Not really negative
just really feel like we need a lead when its obvious are bullpen is going to be used.

Fun little Time waster!
why?
we don’t have a say in who is hired to play.
we don’t have a say in who is hired to manage.
we don’t have a say in how much the tickets cost.
It’s got NOTHING to do with the fans.

Starting to readjust my expectations for this year.......unless we comeback and salvage some of this series.....
I know it is early but these games so far have made the Cubbies look pretty bad……why do we have to do this against the Cards????
This isn't Pittsburgh!

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.
It would be NICE, but we don't HAVE to score this inning.

Attention Cubs hitters....IT IS possible to get a hit with a runner in scoring position.....
even you Mr. Lee
I don't think they read this blog
at least not during games. Try passing a note to an usher — it worked in Bull Durham.

the same thing he always does?
Men write many fine and plausible arguments in support of monarchy, but the fact remains that where every man in a state has a vote, brutal laws are impossible.

Shouldn't Micah be the one to explain that AB?

He's busy right now.
Clutche is right here.

Here’s hoping you’re in the three hole tomorrow.
Absolutely Zero Chance that happens

Well at least Fukudome has been a positive to start the year....ARam is still the RBI machine....
just wish we could be more consistent with RISP……and our pen was more, I dunno, good…..
I think Fontenot could use a day off tomorrow
Not giving up on him, but maybe he could use a mental health day.
Can someone tell me where to find the overflow threads?
I could only find the first pitch game thread on the main page. I couldn’t find a direct link to this one anywhere.
