Not sure what the surprise is here
Cubs offense has been in the bottom of the NL all year, bears no resemblance to the one from last year, no one takes pitches or walks anymore and without Ramirez I’d rate this offense in the bottom third of the league. And for those who yell “small sample size” the season is 1/5 in the bag. What wouldn’t qualify as a small sample size? When the season is 132 games old? Lilly is keeping them in the game, the SP for our team continues to be more than adequate. Offense — terrible

Our starting pitching has been the best part of this team
But when no two Cubs can get their bats going at the same time, it makes for ugly games like tonight.

With him, Thomas, Castro, and others having big seasons, we will have a very big piece in Vitters if we desperetly need pitching or hitting. Cliff Lee or Hanley Ramirez come to mind.

Nothing like ...
a Hendry assembled team going in and delivering a knockout punch to a reeling team….
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

Nothin like letting a guy on a 3 game losing streak...
….who’d given up 5-5-4…..
in 6-6-7….
Come in and throw a CG SO……
Rah Rah Rah….229 LEE……and theat Bradley experiment is really paying dividens….
Miles is a F;en JOKE
And Pinella you stupid moron….you aren’t going to manage a lot of wins when you can only trot out 3 guys in the lineup hitting over .225

Agree on Miles, he's an automatic out!
Just play Scales till he fails! Miles is nothing more than a washed up utility backup. Doesn’t some team owe us, maybe we can dump him for a bag of balls to the Sox or Baltimore?

Hendry ... fliped too fast....
You hold DeRo…in his contract year….and let him go 4 nothing ….if u don’t like it…..
Cubs got JSN for him…..cept people who can’t play….and I/ so PO’ed at DLEE right now, DeRo as a starting 1bman don’t look bad……
Cubs should be the yankees of the NL….OR better yet … RED SOX of NL…..this payroll BS kills me…………….if mr owner wants to charge the tix prrices/cable prices/and beer prices….
PUT PLAYERS ON THE FIELD
