[USCChiFan]

Starlin struck out, he just needed to get the ball into the outfield for it to be a 7-6 game...

 

[USCChiFan]

[derosabomb]

[zack54attack]

[Harry Caray]

we strand WAY too many runners at 3rd base

Hmmmmmm. why did tghe Cubs lose? Way to easy. Pinella!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1) Plays Koyie Hill and always strikers out. Why Soto not in after off day Monday.
2) Fontenot is not a 3B but he still tends to put him there.
3) Sori batting 4th, he can't hit is any other position in the batting order than 6th and that has show. He definately can't hit with RISP
4) Castro batting 7th while the Cubs are 7-0 with him batting 2.
5) Pinella loses so many games because of these moves.
6) Where is Byrd?

I think if we had a new manager, the Cubs will be in 1st and 10 games above 500. It seems like Pinela does not care.

Thoughts?

1) Hill had a few hits
2) Ramirez was hurt and it was a right-hander pitcher so he got the nod over Baker
3) He did hit in the leadoff spot well until 2009
4) Because Theriot and Fukudome are good choices too.
5) His only moves I dislike are bullpen choices
6) He was a pinch-hitter, he just had a day "off"

 

[Harry Caray]

John Ely vs. Ted Lilly today

hopefully Lilly can have another good start after his last one in Texas. Ely has been impressive for the Dodgers. should be another good game!

 

[Jntg4]

Or an umpire can act like Joe West and call a balk against Ely every time the Cubs have a runner on base.

Hill had hits with no RISP.
Baker is a batter 3B than Fontenot and should be in. Where is Tracy? releaese Baker if your not goinjg to use him.
He did do good in 2009 but niw he is only doing good in the 6th hole.
The Fuk and Theriot are good but they hasve no speed ans are starting not to hit.
The bullpen is meesed up but when the Cubs win a game have same lineup don't switch it completely.
Byrd is playing good and there was an off day Mon.
