Official Chicago Cubs Gameday Thread

[Big Z]

Ugh, first pitch hits into double play, still 1-0 Cards.

 

[Big Z]

Ryan walks then steals 2nd and gets to 3rd on throwing error by Geo. Still 0 outs with Wainwright batting.

 

[Big Z]

Gets two out but Ludwick singles to score Ryan, 2-0 Cards.

 

[Jntg4]

crap, 2-0

 

[CubbieBlue]

Nice another Pujols home run.

 

[Big Z]

Slider right down the heart of the plate. Fat Albert is officially out of his slump but has had two really bad pitches to hit and he's hit them both. 4-0 cards.

 

[USCChiFan]

Pujols is locked in, 3 HRs today

 

[CubbieBlue]

Christ I know we were down, but bringing Grabow in and seeing he gave up 3 more runs just pisses me off. Lou needs to go into Hendry's office and tell them he needs to go. I don't care about his salary. At this point I would rather they eat the salary then have his worthless ass on the team.

He will either be release-DFA or sent to DL to bring up Cahner. That is what it should be, he is useless. I hope this happens.

 

[CubbieBlue]

NO to the DL. Just dump his ass.

Grablows

NO to the DL. Just dump his ass.

I agree COMPLETELY. Yeah, regardless of who came in relief, we were probably going to lose today. But, I'm to the point that if we lose 6-1 versus 9-1, I'm much happier and not ready to sell my remaining tickets on StubHub to some chump who is willing to pay 80 bucks to see what is currently an awful baseball team. Because I'm almost to the point that I'm not. And just so I'm a little more clear, today just wasn't our day, and I'm not so much pissed at Lee and Kosuke as i am at Lou. Although, Grabow is not helping matters at all. Lou shouldn't put his ass in unless the Cubs are up 14-1, because it gives that sack of crap a large enough margin of error that even he couldn't possibly mess it up. But until that game comes, he shouldn't pitch unless he's in Single A Peoria. And that is even a stretch for him. I mean Grabow is making Howry look good, which is no easy task!

:rant:

Look at the bright side, the was the Cubs first series loss since Pittsburgh. That was a really good stretch and we have an easy schedule coming up (I think they beat Pit this time).

 

[daddies3angels]

to get back to race cubs have to have great June and its supposed to be an easy month looking at win/loss records of oppenents

 

[Jamfan]

Grabow is a case of "I just got my big paycheck, now I could care less".

 

[USCChiFan]

Grabow is a case of "I just got my big paycheck, now I could care less".

This is unfortunately true

 

[Big Z]

I know this is a bit off topic but meh. I've always wondered why you Americans say 'he could care less'. You guys are saying the wrong thing. It should be 'he couldn't care less'.

By saying 'he could care less' you're saying that he cares to some extent that he could actually care less. But if you said 'couldn't care less' you're saying that he does not care at all and it is impossible for him to actually care less.

/rant.

Got a baserunner! ah hoo! Way to take one for the team Byrd!

 

[X]

ugh. I still think Lee, Ramirez and Soto should be hitting 6, 7, and 8 in the line-up.
