Chicago Cubs Baseball in HD on Comcast is on air

that's a bit wordy
It's not about money. It's about winning and getting over the hump. We've had the appetizer now, but we left the main course on the table.

that was a lineup with NOBODY over .300 in it
I’m sure Chris Young is petrified by the power

The only Padres hitters
w/ BA’s over .300 are Scott Hairston and Drew Macias… I don’t think Theodore is going to be pitching in fear either.
BTW: Padres’ BA on this 8 – 0 homestand? .180.

I know about the Padres...
Amazing how they have won. It’a all about Clutch (not clutche) hitting.
Cubs have no clutch hitting.

This is the 3rd year in a row...
The cubs have gone to SD and looked absolutely terrible.
I was there the last 2 years, decided not to drive down this weekend

Yeah, I was there 2 years ago
It was right before the Cubs started playing a lot better. Hopefully the same is about to happen.

Anybody know..
I’d swear I read on the Cubs website one can obtain promotional items for homegames somehow without actually going to the game. Every hear of this?

Perry locked up the batting cage today, and refused to let guys get extra work? Hmm.

this HAS to be the worst offensive spell of the year. Right?

You have to think so
The Pirates are next, so that should jump start our offense.

I think the winning streaks of
STL (obviously) and MIL have made this look even worse. Cardinals lost today, so maybe they can go into another tailspin.

Our offense is not that good to start with but it is true
We ran into a buzzsaw of quality pitching

by VegasCubFan on May 24, 2009 3:59 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
But how much of that comes from us?
Pinero sucks, Carpenter was right off the DL, and the guy from last night wasn’t good. Young is good in PetCo, but still he can be beaten.

I'm not giving the other team all the credit,
but their pitchers stepped up and our offense did not.

I don't know...
we have some offensive talent. Even not counting the injured. This doldrum defies logic.
And I have to wonder if this isn’t the chicken-or-the-egg kind of thing. Is Joel Piniero really channeling his inner-Maddux or do we make mediocre pitchers look like aces, and aces look like Superman?
Dammit… nji232 said it first.
