Bleed Cubbie Blue

Noob

Gallagher pitched decent, not great. Gave up homers to Stairs and Rolen. Edmonds with a couple hits, just missed a homer, 1 RBI. EPat drove in the other run.

Bats and pitching in

here?

what does that mean?

I wanna see some

I hate

Alex Rios.

Funny

Patterson played this whole year at 2B but he’s been brought up to play a little in LF

Yeah.

We lose our left fielder and the Cubs call up a second baseman and a first baseman. Rather inscrutable.

lol.

I see your point, cwyers. But I thought you liked Patterson not too long ago? I remember me and you being on the same page with him.. maybe I’m wrong though.

I'm probably Patterson's biggest supporter not named Josh77.

But he’s an odd choice to replace Soriano at the very least.

Well I've been a supporter of him also.

Guess that makes 3 of us. I’m trying to figure out why the Cubs don’t take a look at him at second and throw DeRosa around.

Wasn’t DeRosa supposed to be a stop-gap FOR Patterson?

Patterson hasn't been performing well enough...

...to make anyone forget Mark DeRosa, who’s having a career year. But Patterson is certainly preferable to Mike Fontenot.

I guess;

But he has had a small sample size, we shall see how he performs since Lou keeps putting him in there though.

And anyone is more preferable to Mike Fontenot.

If you can't be an athlete

be an athletic supporter

okay

He looked pretty good throwing that guy out at home.

Iowa should play in Wrigley when the Cubs are away

Because they sure won’t be able to play in Sec Taylor/Principal Park

12-1 Phils top of 4th

Phils score 8 runs and the inning is still going on

PhillyCub - June 13, 2008 reply

evil grin

so... whats going on?

who’s up, who’s pitching? anyone?

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

Teams all around the league seem to be afraid of the Cubs

This team can pitch and hit – we’re just hitting our stride AND we’ve been pretty lucky when it comes to the injury bug

maddux1-27-07 - June 13, 2008 reply

They should be afraid.

Along with Arizona, and Philly we are the class of not only the NL but the MLB

wuertz is pitching, Rolen at bat with Rios on 1st...

maddux1-27-07 - June 13, 2008 reply

I want him to fly out to Edmonds, just for the novelty factor.

i don't

i want wuertz to keep the ball down! :-)

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

Double play to end the inning!!!

Let’s take the lead now.

4th?

JEEBUS. those philly bats have awoken i guess.

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

Phillies

They were going to break out of the slump one way or the other. IMOP, they are the Cubs real competition.

13-1 Phils.

Still batting w/ 2 out in the 4th.

Scrapptastic - June 13, 2008 reply

holy crap.....

Bases loaded with Howard up

Hey Scrapptastic

Does your name have to do with Scrapple? I can’t eat that stuff

PhillyCub - June 13, 2008 reply

No....but I've seen that stuff on Diners, Drive-In's and Dives

Looks disgusting.

Scrapptastic - June 13, 2008 reply

Soto, Edmonds, DeRo up this inning

thanks!

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

come on Soto!!!!

single!

Lets play small ball

Or what Sox fans like to call it…”Ozzie ball.”

way to go Soto!!!!

Base Hit Geo

marquis pr?

Is Marquis

really faster than Geo?

grace1723 - June 13, 2008 reply

If he is,

it’s not by much, IMO.

Weird move

Why now?! Soto might be needed later on.

$21million

Pinch runner

has anyone mentioned...

who Senor Douchetastic is behind the plate with no sleeves & shades?

Clubhouse Cancer - June 13, 2008 reply

i need someone to do some pxp. please? wrigley left and nsiders at work. help the blindie out! ;)

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

I'm trying, but following on MLB

ok

ill do it

I'll try but we are getting lightning so radio is crackly

go for it rudey

The Phillies 9 running inning finallly ends with a Howard Strikeout

phillies up 13-1

This week's SI had

Ryan Howard as like ‘3rd or 4th’ on a list of people MLB’ers would ‘build a team around’ in their “players poll”. WTF?

Damn

This is where I miss Ward.

We had Scott Downs

He was a Cubs prospect until he got traded. Nowadays he’s a serviceable lefty out of the pen like Eyre.

Dude

Please stop

Why is everyone jumping all over this guy?

That was a legit comment about the pitcher in the game

So, Marquis pinch-runs for Soto, and then Blanco pinch-hits for Edmonds.

Okay then.

Odd move

Did Edmonds get injured?

Nvm

Goign to bring in Johnson.

Lou sometimes tends to overmanage

2-2 count to Blanco

fouled off

BLANCO ph for Edmonds

???

Well, if you're pulling Soto, Blanco needs to go in at some point.

And Downs is a lefty. So it makes SOME kind of sense.

Blanco

.500 against Downs..

another 2-2 foul ball

Aww, cute

baby with Cubs gear on.

K :(

Blanco strikeouts swinging.

1 out, marquis still on 1st.

question

the moves by lou

You can question the moves

but you can’t usually question the results. Blanco was in because he had a good record vs Downs.

thanks rudey!

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

np

darn!

Piniella has a very short leash on Edmond

When it comes to lefthanders – that’s part of why Edmond’s’
average keeps going up

Why no bunt??

Blanco strikes out

why not Johnson there or Cedeno?

Because if you use Cedeno you're burning three bench players for one play.

You’re already comitting to using Blanco and Johnson when you pull Soto and Edmonds.

Um, okay, let me rephrase that...

...why not Johnson there? LOL.

come on DeRo

1-1 count on dero. Trys to pull the bat back but gets the swinging strike.

Who's gonna be the hero

Either you’re a hero or you’re a bum

2-2 count on Dero

If

Patterson bats, expect him to be replaced by Reed.

Then who will play CF?

Cedeno?

Who plays left field, then?

Um.

Reed Johnson.

nevermind

my bad.

Okay, then who plays center?

Edmonds is out of the game.

3-2 count on a VERY CLOSE ball on the outside corner!

c'mon dero!

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

Derosa goes down on strikes, looking

:(

eff K

darn!

Jaysus

Just missed. Here comes Uncle Charley again

Bad day for DeRo

RightFieldSucks - June 13, 2008 reply

Nice effort

damn

is that out 2?

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

yes sry

2 down

yup

Cedeno PH

First rule of baseball.

You should never have a left fielder who you’re willing to PH for with RONNY CEDENO.

DeRo isn't on top of his game right now

he's just having a bad game

don’t worry. he’ll be fine.

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

Ive been doing very good on my protein/workout GOD

plz dont let the cubs lose and make me eat those cookies!

Ok

This is weird. Then Cedeno plays LF?!

Dero goes to LF??

DeRo LF, Cedeno 2b

eswan9 - June 13, 2008 reply

1-2 count on

Cedeno

It occurs to me...

...that you put Cedeno at second and DeRosa in left.

yeah

thats the move I think Lou is pulling off.

lou is having way too much fun with this game

i think

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

Damn!

MLB Extra Innings just died!

2-2 count on cedeno hopefully Onedec*

Lou

over managing this whole game.

Yep.

As often as he gets the chance.

not really

the only reason why he bought in blanco is because he was hitting 500 against him.

Which is essentially meaningless.

It is.

I don’t understand it. I just don’t.

The reason

I said Reed would pinch hit, is because Lou often does things like this. Matchups are over-rated sometimes.

Cedeno hits an extremely high chopper off the plate and is out at 1st, inning over.

dammit

so whats the sub situation? derosa in left, blanco behind the plate, who else?

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

Cedeno to 2nd

most likely

Cedeno to 2nd, Johnson to CF

blanco to catch

Cedeno at second, Johnson in center.

I’m guessing here.

jeez

is there anyone left on the bench??

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

Fontenot and RJ

well nevermind then

Trammel

and Rothchild

ground out to first

Sigh...... need a ninth inning rally now

You ask

and you shall recieve!

starts the ninth inning rally prayers

Damn.....

Too many missed opportunities

WOW

ronny in center!
Fontenot at 2nd
Blanco catching

are you kidding me?

nope!

wow

thats all kinds of crazy

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

So Reed PH's for Hoff in the 9th

I hope we don’t go extras….that would mean DeRo to 1B, Johnson to Left

If Lou's willing to PH for Hoffpauir with Reed Freaking Johnson...

...then what the hell is the point of having him on the team?

Lou loves the lefties

That's interesting.

Well, hold em

here and the score 2 runs when we are up.

Well........

I have been sitting here thinking about what just happened. I figure that he is saving Reed Johnson to bat in Hoffpauir space in the 9th.

louslovechild - June 13, 2008 reply

Yep...

....good move there, but that empties the bench if we go extras.

Would be sweet...

to have RJ tie it or put us ahead…

Twins are up 9-0 over the Brewers in the 7th

great!!!!

I'm really down on Lee right now

but he can redeem himself with a homerun in the 9th

damm single

I've got the "We'll be right back!" screen on INDemand

Now it’s back, bastards!

gotta love technology.....

Wuertz is out

missed who was coming in, sry!

Well, it's a good thing that in the NL you don't have to have ten players in the game at a time.

Oh.

Wait.

LOL

Theriot's DP in the 6th a real downer.

Wuertz falling behind is, too.

After the single Wuertz is out

pitched pretty well so far.

Oh well

At elast the Cards are about to lose.

Can't win em all

3-2

we need some bats seeing as we plan on doing this whole thing with bats. Otherwise…we need to trade for another starter.

Giving up 3 isn't exactly a travesty

Yep I wouldn't

say that Gallager got pounded

Not trying

to be negative nancy. Just calling it as ( I )see it.

Sorry - came out way more sarcastic than intended

I get tired of all the ‘our pitching sucks’ on this board.

Not saying that

one of the best in the NL

But i want a WS team! Playoffs are won with pitching.

We lead the NL in ERA

the blue jays have a great pitching staff

but another starter would be great. although it is really nice to see gallagher progress. how deep did he go tonihgt?

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

bout 5 innings I think

...

Not used to losing!

lol.

Crap

Boo.

Okay well. That sucks. But we’ll get ‘em tomorrow.

Thanks again Rudey.

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

get’em tommorow guys

To bad Ill be working…

MArquis vs. Halladay..

God we need to be huge..

I'll say it again

too many missed opportunities

What sucks even more

We are facing their best pitcher.

Well, tommorow

with our worst

And we have Marquis

If he pitches..

like he did last time out, I’ll be happy..

17 LOB

yuck

Brutal

Our offense needs to wake-up in a hurry

no. 11

no 19

I stand corrected…19. Look up in yahoo.

no again. 11 with two out

19 would be 2/inning with one with the bases loaded. that is NOT what happened

then yahoo is messed up

Lol.

17 would be almost 2 per inning

the ESPN box considers LOB with less than 2 out. The total with 2 out was 11.

Oh OK

Then that is also correct.

still bad, though

the 6th inning was what did it.

Gameday

shows 11 LOB

Followed yahoo

Milwaukee down 9-2

10-2 now

I am watching it on EI… at least that is something

YAY!

We need

our leader to step up, D-Lee. Our offense is Jim Edmonds or bust lately.

I never thought I would ever say that.

Lee needs to snap out of his funk.

but i wouldn’t say “edmonds or nothing” we scored 7 the other day with mroe than him. stop being so gloomy! :-)

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

I was going

by the last 2 days. lol.

D-Lee is killing us in the 3 hole

What’s it going to take to make a change?

alot more

cause hes there to stay for quite some time.

with good reason!

Huh...

You’re kidding right?

Philly still beatin the dirty birds 14-1

well, at least no ground lost today.. thats a big plus

I want to be the first to say that we lost this game in the 1st.

All Hoffpauir has to do in the 2 hole is move Theriot over. That is it. He was overmatched all night, and I am assuming that he will see the field again only as a pinch hitter. That is it. Certainly not hitting second. He made contact with the ball 1 time on a foul ball.

Lou did a poor job tonight. I love him like my drunk uncle, but bad. More than willing to empty the bench tonight, except when Soto was the tying run and cannot score on a soft single.

louslovechild - June 13, 2008 reply

Well, he's not perfect

He will make mistakes, just like any other manager.

Yeah

I don’t see all the fasination with Hoffpauir. He is a AAA all-star .. at best.

Exactly

That’s why Lou pinch hit Reed Johnson for him. They thought he would be effective, but they thought wrong.

it was ONE GAME

against a good pitching team. Seriously. Guys. My gosh. You can look bad with one at bat without being writen off.

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

+10

Yeah, but Hoffpauir's only real accomplishment...

...so far was his hitting in spring training this year. He’s been very underwhelming as a hitter in the minors for a first baseman.

he hit fine in houston

earlier this season. i’m not saying he’s an allstar or anything, but you can’t base everything a guy is off of one game.

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

I don't think judging a guy off of three games is an improvement...

...over judging him off of one game. The totality of Micah Hoffpauir’s career is essentially a guy that isn’t really good at anything having to do with baseball – hitting, fielding or baserunning. He plays only one defensive position, the easiest around. He’s not actually a GOOD hitter, at least so far as his minor league numbers would indicate.

If you need a guy to hit for about the league average and play first base, then sure, Hoffpauir’s your guy. I’m just not sure that any team, much less ours, really needs that.

So dont judge him yet!?!??!?

Why not judge him yet?

I’m just one guy on the Internet with opinions. I have years of minor league stats and a robust set of minor league park factors and translations to work with. I don’t see what the problem is with looking at the factual record and drawing conclusions from it is.

hehe

i dont think hes good yet

But from your reply it seemed as if you were syaing it doesnt make sense to judge someone off 1 game or 3 games, hence “why judge him”

He meant judge him on his body of work...

His minor league track record is more telling than a handful of MLB games.

SouthernCub - June 14, 2008 reply

Agreed..

I wouldn’t think he wil be here after interleague play, but ya never know with Lou..

you never know

just give him more than one game.

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

He's got at least 2 more weeks...

and should get a lot of AB’s against RH pitching..

Im talking about today

He was overmatched by the Jays pitching.

lou looks like he's testing things out

He knows that the offense is struggling and, with Soriano out, he’s not sure what he has right now. I hope to god we’ve seen the last of Hoffpauir as a #2 hitter.

And you’re exactly right about the first inning. I had a very bad feeling when Burnett got out of it without giving up a run-pitchers tend to settle down after shaky first innings.

Philly 17-1

That made me smile to see that score tonight.

Madison Cub Fan - June 13, 2008 reply

Cards coming back...

17-2 now…:)

K

im off!

I wanna see some big runs tommorow against Halladay!

(wishful thinking)

Bye!

we’ll cheer extra hard without you!

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

Okay

I know we lost. But we lost to a decent team on the road with our rookie pitcher on the mound. Stop it everyone. Its one game, and we’ll get ‘em tomorrow. Please?

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

exactly and we lost n ground either...

Their pitching is sick

But their hitting sucks. Let’s get their ace tomorrow.

their offense isn't great

you’re right. we need to play well tomorrow.

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

Night all!

One-run games

What’s our record this year?

I dunno.

better than it was at this time last year.

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

11-9

Not too bad...

I’ll take it.

We have a great record

and that gives Lou a chance to check out guys like Hoff and EPat and see what they can do before things get tight.

Game

My thoughts…. Couple opportunities where i wished Sori was in there, but thats something the cubs are going to have to deal with for the next 4-6 weeks….

hokiefan0705 - June 13, 2008 reply

We'll be fine...

...once again, we were in the game until the very end. Had opportunities, need to take advantage of them the rest of the weekend.

EXACTLY

finally someone else who doesn’t feel the need to lose their mind over one game.

halfblindcubbiegirl - June 13, 2008 reply

Must be the Purdue background...

lol

Hey know, don't be knocking us Boilermakers!!

No Knock

I bleed old gold and black! How did you take it as a knock?

When you leave 11 guys on base

you can’t expect to win. Someone has to step up and pick up those runners. That’s why we lost tonight, not because of pitching and not because of what Lou did in the 8th. DLee is killing us in the 3 spot is another problem.

?

did Anyone else want to see edmonds bat in the 8th besides me?

hokiefan0705 - June 13, 2008 reply

wasn't a lefty in for Toronto?

Edmonds is horrible against lefties

We're just so used to losing

Tiger Woods shoots 30 on the front nine…1 off the lead.
