Not looking good.
I have been to five Cubs games in my lifetime.
The Cubs' record in those games: 5 wins, 0 losses.

Dear Cubs,
Please stop failing.

In his defense...
He was holding the runner at 3rd.
Ya,that was just a bad throw bad Soto...

in fairness, the throw by Soto pulled him 10 feet off the bag

When it comes to Miles
There’s no such thing as fairness, evidently.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Aug 8, 2009 8:21 PM CDT up reply actions
he wasn't on the bag
he cut off the throw to Riot, who was on the bag
it was a bad throw, but if Miles had left it alone or even relayed it to Riot instead of trying to gun down a runner who wasn’t going they probably would have gotten the out.

or did I see it wrong?

The throw was wide left
So he didn’t cut off the throw to Riot, he cut off the throw to Fuku…
it was pretty off, but to me it looked like he could have gotten the guy at second if he had flipped it to riot
or ran for the bag himself instead of looking to get a guy who didn’t run.

4 double plays in one inning, manager Casey Stengel fearing for the pitchers sanity decided to remove him for the next inning but FORGOT TO TELL HIM. As the pitcher warmed up he heard the PA guy announce the new pitcher, after which the pitcher whose name I can not recall simply said " Everyone here is crazy " and walked off the mount.

Change is inevitable; progress is optional.
thats a tough play
off the wall you have to be the thinking double. Cant kill him over that.
the Cubs almost blew that
Theriot was lax and almost didnt beat Bradley being tagged.
Will say, Milton looks much better at the plate.
I understand what Milton is trying to do there
Milton wanted to get into scoring position for Lee, to try and really chase Marquis.
But what the hell is Sinatro doing? Sleeping??? He should have put the stop sign up at 1B and make sure that the run scores.
It's a simple question, Doctor: would you eat the moon if it were made of ribs??
i dont know
though i mean Theriot should score EASILY there.
Was in the other room at the time
Just saw the replay… the run should have scored easily.
But still, Sinatro should have held Bradley up so that Lee could hit.

I like Bob right where he is.
He made plenty of mistakes as manager of the D-backs. Don’t forget the team he won the world series with was VERY, VERY talented.
Having said that, he seems to be more of a manager than Lou has been this season. I was excited when Lou came here because he had the reputation of being a hard ass, but this team has played very similar baseball to when Dusty was here
And I think we need to be cautious about Ryno being the savior in that regard
It’s simply a different era, and a lot of players won’t put up with it, unfortunately.

I'm not sure Ryno is the savior
but there is certainly a way to get teams to play harder than what we see far too often from the Cubs. The Twins are considered a team that plays hard early and often, the Cards (vomit) are fundamentally sound.
I agree that being a fire and brimstone guy PROBABLY doesn’t work any more. But I’m convinced letting the inmates run the asylum CERTAINLY doesn’t
There HAS to be a happy medium. Someone who can simply say, look, you don’t want to run hard, you’re sitting tomorrow. No yelling, no calling the player a douche, just matter of fact.
