Alright.
The Cubs have the ball on the 40 yard line. They need to bounce-pass to Rose past the blue-line, and then…

walked two
then a bad throw to first on a bunt that resulted in a run and no outs. Then he figured it out and got some guys out. 96mph fastball at one point. But he blew Marshall’s beautiful win.

Bloop hit, atrocious defense by a quickly eroding Lee and Theriot and then a suicide squeeze. Blame it on the guys that deserve it…Lee being one of the largest culprits both tonight and the majority of this season.

not going to win many games scoring 2 runs
the offense was and has been the problem, not keeping our leads safe and not getting us back into games. This team is based heavily around a good offense, that hasnt been happening lately.

The offens is a HUGE problem....
And the pitching isn’t anything to write home about either….
Team managed to squander away a good start from the #5 with continued failure at the plate,,,and inaability to drive in the runs that are there…
and if Lee can’t hit his weight….maybe he should SIT
The best defense is a good offense.....Lou Pinella...still hasn't managed the Cubs to a post season win. D. Lee still doesn't have a post seasson RBI for Cubs...ditto for Soriano

Y'know, when we were 8-4, and people were getting bent out of shape
I understood calling someone a ledge jumper (though it’s used so often, and with so little effect I find it moronic) but the team is continuing a streak that will see them fall to 2-7 over their last nine. I think MAYBE 2 of those losses were actually competitive.
Being angry at this terrible play is not being a ledge jumper. It’s facing reality

What i want to know is
If Jim Hendry seriously was going to go after players in the winter, why did he make no effort for Texeira. We don’t have a first baseman who can hit. We should have signed him and then we could have traded Lee for someone else.

It's certainly what I wanted.
And the rumors are that Hendry explored trading Lee.
But remember, Hendry gave Lee a no-trade (good job, Jim!), which complicated things terribly.
Also, the word is pretty much out that Lee is done. No one wanted that salary for that production in this economy.
Finally, the Yankees wanted Tex, and his wife wanted Manhattan. We would never have won that bidding war.

who says he was "seriously going after players"
He allowed our closer to walk, he traded our starting second baseman, traded away Cedeno, traded away our 5th starter (for a bag of balls apparently) and signed Aaron Miles, Joey Gathright, Milton “Mr. Glass” Bradley, and acquired Kevin “9 blown saves” Gregg.
He didn’t “seriously go after anyone” of any real signifigance

The NBA is a completely different beast.
First off, almost everyone makes the playoffs. 16 teams. The Bulls were practically .500, and made the playoffs. The Cubs will not make the playoffs if they’re near .500.
Secondly, there are only 12 players on a roster, and you only really need 6-7 of them to be decent to compete. One superstar can actually win playoff series if his team is even marginally adequate.
Thirdly, half the teams in the NBA are going broke. That’s how the Bulls got Miller and Salmons, for instance.

A serious dose of realism.
If this fanbase accepts mediocrity, they’ll continue to receive it.
Bad moves need to be scrutinized, and bad play needs to be called out.
And vice versa with good moves, and good play.
That being said, what was so bitchy about my post?! I simply cannot stand willful ignorance and rationalization.
And “it’s a marathon”, or “It’s only May”, are nothing but platitudes recited by those who are unwilling to face up to what they’re seeing.

Or in 1985?

I think the fan base of this team is a bit like people who have been cooped up in a concentration camp most of their lives. Once they get out, they’re paranoid about every little thing.

Really hopeful, and then dejected. Weren't you?
In 2006, they were only 2 games over .500 at this point, but Lee had just gone down and there was a lot of free-fall ahead.
When the losses started piling up, I obviously wanted Dusty gone, and pondered about how so many Cubs fans on this site agreed with Hendry’s decision to pass on Beltran and Vlad Guerrero.
2006 was the natural result of the Bizzaro Hendry years, where we threw 3-4 year deals worth $4M at every middle reliever in the game, while passing on literally every FA worth a damn, and then signed the likes of Burnitz and Jacque to be our corner OFs.
In 1985, I was 9, and I was primarily concerned with finding Cory Snyder’s olympic rookie card in Topps.

While it might be a long season, Good starts are pretty damn important. Are they ALWAYS important? No, there are teams who turn it around. But thinking a bad start is nothing is pretty ridiculous

The Indians have DeRosa, and the Cubs do not. The Indians are also failing, ergo DeRosa would not have helped this Cubs team.

In ‘07 it was rather obvious the team was still trying to shed the bad habits that were ingrained from the last regime. Dusty’s “walks clog the bases” mentality was still rampant in April.
The situation is vastly different this year. Hence I take no comfort in ’07

That's the problem.
Hendry gave Lou a paper thin roster. He has no choices. He needs a versatile guy like DeRosa, but he traded him for someone with the same offensive numbers. There was no improvement. The team is the same as last year, and last year they lost in the first round.

Serious question.
Is there any turn of events that would cause you to say “you know what? That result is less than optimal?”
Because I’ll clue you in on something here – the Cubs are one of the few big-market teams in an unfair system. And their core is aging, and their window is closing.
They don’t need large numbers of low-ceiling arms in their minor league system — we have scores of those types of guys. And you know what else? If ours don’t pan out, we can scoop up someone else’s prospects who do pan out, like Rich Harden, because their teams can’t afford to pay them, and the Cubs can.
So basically, I don’t give a flying frack what becomes of the three arms we got for DeRosa — I care about the 2009 team, and primarily the fact that no one on this team is capable of being the backup 3B other than the starting 2B! What is that about?
And then, when alternate-world 2016 comes around and those three pitchers are contributing for the Indians, and they can’t afford them anymore… we’ll go get them anyway.
