I know Z is a good hitter.....
but for a pitcher, not overall…..how could Lou not bring in Kosuke or even Fontenot there, especially after Pitt committed to the righty.
yeah, completely agree

Could not agree more
a poorly constructed roster does should not detract from the fact that Lou uses it poorly.
This will be the first question asked to Lou tonight, I'm sure of it.

and his answer will be "what can I do?"
then he’ll hold his hands out wide, and ask it again. I don’t think he’s got the fire to do this thing anymore. He seems content to use the bad things that have happened to this team as a cure-all excuse.

So when does this slump end? I am stunned at how bad it is getting....
Sanchez makes an amazing catch……things are getting to the point of bizzare…….

Theriot is not the problem
But he also is not the soluion. WE need Soriano, Bradley, Lee and Soto to all do far better than they have been. We also need to really revaluate this bullpen and the middle infield.
Not the only one but certainly
.248 and 5 homeruns along with some nagging injuries is not good enough. Not even close.
Lee's OPS in May
is over 1.000
he’s the hottest bat we’ve got right now.. maybe that’s sad, but it’s true
by CubFanInCanberra (9387milesfromWrigley) on May 25, 2009 10:32 PM CDT up reply actions
Too bad...
we need him over the whole season. A .270 BA, 18 HR, and 75 RBI is unacceptable for a Cubs 1B. Especially at $14 mil/year

Sadly...
that only makes him a bigger part of the problem…

yeah, that's def. a good sign
When I began playing the game, baseball was about as gentlemanly as a kick in the crotch. -Ty Cobb
True
But he still needs to do better. Each of them could increse their average by about .50 points, excepting maybe Soriano, who is struggling.
Because he is doing well enough for you
or because there are 20 other more pressing problems. Im in the latter camp. He needs to do better but he is not the most pressing problem.
see above
Lee’s OPS in May is over 1.000
by CubFanInCanberra (9387milesfromWrigley) on May 25, 2009 10:33 PM CDT up reply actions
He's had a good month.
If he continues with that I have no problem. There are other problems that need to be addressed more than Derrek.
this may sound dumb
but i dont really care if the cubs trade everybody this year. If they can’t play competitively, then get rid of all the terrible contracts. I’m saying all of this would apply if the cubs continue to play poorly.
Besides, they couldn't do it anyway

once healthy, this team is gonna be fine
just have to break this streak and run off a few wins…let’s put positivity out there, people…

Tomorrow. Good pitching and hitting
ON THE SAME DAY.

If I were at the game
I would throw something onto the field and boo until I was removed from the park.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hell that was way better than the last 6
at least it felt like we had a chance
If the Cubs were an international soccer team they'd be called Scotland.

The difference in this game.
No, Neil Cotts was the difference in this game.

Even though we lost, it felt good to score some runs.
When I began playing the game, baseball was about as gentlemanly as a kick in the crotch. -Ty Cobb
It would appear a few players are starting to wake up
Theriot did well, Soto squared the ball up a couple of times too

forgot him
he’s looking better too. If we could get Soriano going again, that would really help right now.

awwww..
can’t we rant and vent and turn on each other and everything to do with the Cubs?
won’t that help??

yeah, we finally hit the ball so that is a postive there

Someone said yesterday
they’d feel better if we were losing games 9-7 instead of 3-1.
Gotta tell ya.. it still sucks. :-(

Heading out … good night, everyone.

I think maybe
it does feel a little better.. just a little though… still sucks

I have had utmost faith that the Cubs would make the playoffs
That faith has been tested this year. Lets hope they turn it around and turn it quick. You can lose divisions in May.
These are the times that try men's souls
… can you feel the paine??

He spells funny.
"This is an environment of welcoming, and you should just get the hell outta here." --Michael Scott
YES,
And it hurts like hell to see this continue….
Two baseballs hit that popped out of players gloves and led to runs
That’s some pretty bad luck.
At least Soto had a productive game. Maybe he’s coming around
yeah..
is hard not to feel like this team is just snakebit right now..
isn’t luck supposed to even out?

as a Cubs fan
you should know the answer to that question.
by ElHijoDelRonSanto on May 25, 2009 10:56 PM CDT up reply actions
well yeah
I fully expect the Cubs to enjoy 100 years of playoff success starting this season… :)

night all

We break the streak tomorrow!!

enjoy the beers
… but I recommend not pondering too much… :)
by CubFanInCanberra (9387milesfromWrigley) on May 25, 2009 10:55 PM CDT up reply actions
will do, take it easy Canberra
Can’t imagine what it’s like tonight for the players
When I began playing the game, baseball was about as gentlemanly as a kick in the crotch. -Ty Cobb
'night
offense has improved over last few games…
Maybe that will encourage the rotation to go back to kicking arse the way they have been through most of the losing streak…

Dempster
is at least manning up and taking the blame. Great guy. Pity he had a night like this when we finally put up some crooked numbers…

Will someone from the Cubs be home tomorrow between 8 & 11am?
