Game
Is on the line right here…
"It's a funny old world. Man's lucky if he gets out of it alive." W.C. Fields
Very frustrating stretch because the starters have been holding up their end of the bargain
"I don’t believe that things go your way," said Lou Piniella, the Cubs manager.
"I believe you make things go your way."
It would be nice if Lou
would play one of these close games with some sense of urgency and go for the big inning instead of letting Dome destroy another rally like he did last night.
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
Pinch hit for him in that spot as one of the previous posters stated.
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
Now that's out-of-the-box thinking
Best suggestion I’ve heard all day.

Demp
Doing a great job. At least something to be proud of today.

Not exactly tearing...

Like it or not, this offense goes as Soriano goes. When he is cold, the entire club just goes night night!!

Sori did his job last inning.
Theriot, Fukudome, and Lee didn’t.

alright
NOW IS THE TIME IN THE BASEBALL GAME WHERE WE SCORE SOME RUNS!
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.
I agree with the posters
Lou needs to bat Reed there. I know its only the siixth, but Reed hits lefties, Dome doesnt and you cant afford to let that inning get away.
The bottom line though is Ryan Theriot absolutely has to make contact there. It is inexcusable for him to strike out against Russ Ortiz in that spot.
Swinging at ball four
doesn’t help.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Jun 11, 2009 3:08 PM CDT up reply actions
Amen on Theriot
can’t go down without making contact!!
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
Maybe we should start one of those waves

remember
I remember when I was a kid, and the youngsters in the stands would start chanting, “we wanna hit”
"It's a funny old world. Man's lucky if he gets out of it alive." W.C. Fields
HOFF
deep drive to center, and the fielder FALLS DOWN — and still makes the catch.

Never good. I’ve only seen one person ever hit it out in center, and that was Jacque Jones.

Fox would've been nice

This way Fox gets to go play a position every day… maybe he can come back and be better than “a notch below horrific” defensively

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter.

even this offense should be able to get a run off him
Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.
You are asking a lot!

on Lee
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

If they don't score again, I think I would throw Marmol another inning...
What did he have? 8 pitches?
