Can we just freaking give up
and let him bat from the right?

Yeah...
because it was be god-awful embarrassing to bring in a guy to solve your non-left-handedness and then he can’t bat left-handed.
There is no such thing as an ugly female breast
Yeah, it's better to just throw the freakin season in the trash by
letting that worthless idiot bat from the left side! Just DL him and bring Fuld back, please!
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
that would defeat pinella
and hendry’s grand offseason plan. That plan officially sucks
Hard Work Paid Off!!!
Lou is such a great hitting coach!

Adam Dunn is busy being a lumberjack, hitting the tar off baseballs. With OBP, OPS, HR, and RBI.
Milton Bradley is taking a few days off, because his pee-pee hurts and he forgot how to hit a ball.

Also, good evening to you, good sir.

I hope BJ Ryan gets to the big club soon
He will really help the worst offense in the league. These guys should donate their paychecks for this garbage
this would be a great inning to score some runs
because the phillies have the heart of their order coming up
For all the use Bradley was
we should have let Guzman bat and gotten another good inning

He was good

let me predict the bottom of the 11th
A dinky texas leaguer blooper for a single; a stolen base or sacrifice, and some walk-off hit.
top of the 12th
= 3 run home run

marshall is so solid

Scott Eyre has better stats than any of our relievers and Raul is much better than any of our outfielders (if not hitters)
Thank You Lou!

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn
"One thing you learned as a Cubs fan: when you bought you ticket, you could bank on seeing the bottom of the ninth."
it is pretty obvious
Use Heilman, lose game now rather than in 15th inning and save bullpen for tomorrow. Lou is brilliant.
just what
does Heilman have on Lou? Gotta be blackmailing him….
"One thing you learned as a Cubs fan: when you bought you ticket, you could bank on seeing the bottom of the ninth."
heilman is usually good for a critical walk
i am not usually that against heilman, he has been okay. But Marshall is so much better.

I can’t be on here if Heilman craps the bed.

At this point...
Just have Heilman do what he is good at WALKING PEOPLE, until he gets to the bottom of the order. a walk off is a walk off 1 run or 4.

I believe I'm as optimistic as anyone on this board...
but I’m a little discouraged after hearing “Lidge and his 7+ ERA in non-close situations” and “Park was out of the rotation after having a 7+ ERA” result in a single baserunner.
Also, with the game in extras, why is Marshall being used as a lefty specialist. Seems like an ideal time for him to pitch for 2-4 innings.

hed call Fuld back up, start him in center and start Fox in right.

To keep compusure, to not melt down when a call doesn’t go his way, to not walk the ballpark, not throw at hitters etc. etc.
I know he’s been O.K. lately, but I hate when people use the term “ace” to describe him.
There are very few “aces” Halladay, Lincecum, Carpenter, Haren, Santana and a handful of others.
He's getting paid like an ace...
When Hendry signed him to that deal, I’m sure he thought he was signing an “ace”.
