[DownByLaw]

Fitting that we win today

 

[arstyle27]

Cubs are the worst offensive team in sports, that's right, not just baseball, but all sports in general..........Cubs suck, they are garbage.

 

[kiddin like jason]

Let's keep pitching to Albert Pujols! Maybe he'll decide he doesn't feel like getting on base anymore and start getting himself out on purpose!

 

[pacmagic2002]

Yea........we suck and are only.5 back in the Central.

The NL central just sucks this month as a whole...............At least albert is almost guaranteed to have another 30 HR .300 batting average and possibleanother 100 RBI season.

 

[jdcurt2]

Well we had a whopping six hits tonight and the Royals have won back to back games for the first time in three weeks.

14 total runs in five games vs. two *$!!%% teams

The Cubs Offense > The Cardinals Offense

 

[arstyle27]

Lets just agree that our teams aren't playing nearly as good as they are capable of and should be. The NL Central looks like !!%% this season.

 

[arstyle27]

Cubs win, but only scored 3 runs.....goodness...

 

[CP1708]

Our pitching has been just unreal, but you know we're burning them out big time.

We gon have one of those months with like a 6 ERA and we'll know why.

Gerald Perry was fired, is that correct? Thought I heard that late in the game yesterday. Maybe some new blood will jolt us for a minute, but I doubt it. Still too many scrap hitter throughout the entire lineup.

And as awful as we've been

I actually want us to be completely out of contention because that way Drayton is forced to see that we have to rebuild.
Our team is so damn old. We have to go get some young talent and start rebuilding our farm system.

 

[corwinator3407]

This division is a complete coin flip and will remain that way. When Votto comes back, I expect this team to be back in first, if only temporarily.

Hopefully we hear something by tomorrow.

[tylerdub]

I cannot wait until football season, sports talk radio has got me so pumped up to watch the Bears it is unbelievable!!!
This should be an interesting race if only because everyone sucks.

 

[joe billionaire]

no cubs sox thread this year or am i just blind?

 

[corwinator3407]

Daniel Ray Herrera was and will continue to be my favorite current Red. 3 innings, 2 hits, 2 Ks filling in for Harang after the rain delay. We should take 2 of3 easy from the Braves who's offense might be worse than ours, and THAT is saying something.

 

[jdcurt2]

FINALLY a W!!!!

 

[wildkycat]

Harang keeps getting screwed by rain delays.

heard on the radio that they're probably going to send Ed V, Votto, and Encarnacion out on rehab assignments this weekend...hopefully to Louisivlle sincethe Bats are in town.

 

[DownByLaw]

Where was last nights offense @ in Cleveland?

 

[CP1708]

ESPN says Dempster is throwin today, why are they skipping over Z?

Or is ESPN wrong?

[arstyle27]

Not sure CP. It's nothing serious. Lou just switched it up for a better matchup i think.
