fail.
:P
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.

Tim Redding actually pitched well enough (into the 8th) to get his first W since September. It’s on ESPN down here in Kansas.

which is the real offense? Sadly, we feasted mostly on one of the worst bullpens (CLE) in the majors, so my guess is we will see plenty more of these from this offense. Another quality starting pitching performance wasted.

Wow, you're still around
I thought you slit your wrists over tonight’s game and the prospect of many losses to come.

naw, otherwise I might miss you spewing your complete drivel
and that’s really quite a show.

Pretty legitimate argument
Cleveland’s bullpen is abhorrent at best. Although, I think the Cubs can only go up w/ RISP.

Exactly
You have to protect the plate as best you can in that situation. Can’t stand there with the bat on your shoulder.

This is going to be a big road trip
not going to be any easy games in Detroit or on the South Side. People are going to need to make plays.
I hope Lou pushes the envelope a little. Twice today Theriot led off innings with singles. Id like to see some hit and run action there because I feel like Dome plays that situation well.
What can you do. Go get them tomorrow.

Shut out on 10 hits
Only the Cubs, it seems.

All singles
and all scattered.
Believe it or not, this stuff happens to other teams, too.
Get ’em tomorrow.

All you can do is go back out tomorrow,
And work hard for better results. It won’t be easy in Detroit.

Bradley's AB was disappointing
Missed his pitch on strike one, and looked like a single-A player on strike three.

Yikes.
This spring I was dating a big-time Braves fan. For her sake, I kept track of the team, watched their games occasionally, and just generally said nice things about them. Not too long ago, she broke up with me. So, I’ve been holding this back for a while…
I HATE THE FREAKING BRAVES!!!!!
Whew. Felt good to get that out of my system.
It’s only one loss. Hopefully the offense picks it up tomorrow against the Tigers.

Tonight
We saw a team with better pitching than we saw over the weekend. Was the weekend an anomaly or was it tonight?

Well, the White Sox
bullpen isn’t bad, either, and the Cubs got to them, too.
I’m sure I know your answer, though.

Linebrink blows...
… games and the Cubs more than got to him, they were blasting him. Thornton a dink and a dunk or something like that. That happens at times, even to the best. Linebrink, he just plain blows.

Linebrink
is good in the first half, not so good in the second half. Actually, since he’s been with the Sox, he’s been decent.

Numbers don't tell the whole story...
… lately he’s been getting hit and hit very hard. He’s given up runs in 5 of his last 7 outings. His numbers escaped damage on the Thursday game against the Cubs because the rocket hit at Getz was ruled an error but guys are just teeing off on him.

I thought Dotel
was the weakest link in the Sox’s pen. Linebrink is worse than him?
by Not Bruce Froemming on Jun 22, 2009 9:39 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'll never trust Linebrink.
And in advance of this season I said that Ken Williams did nothing to improve the Sox BP. Outside of Jenks, they harbor a desire to be arsonists.

Looking ahead to the Tigers
Zambrano v. Jackson – should be a close affair as long as Z stays composed.
Harden v. Porcello – Cubs need to be patient with this rookie who is having a nice season to date.
Lilly v. Galarraga – if Ted stays away from the gopher ball then I see the Cubs winning this one.

The Tigs put Willis on the DL. Would have liked to see the Cubs get a shot at him.
