Bleed Cubbie Blue

I think lou's gonna blow his top soon

Zero emotion, zero focus, zero clutch hitting = zero runs

This is a frickin joke!

I'm for mt Lou to give us a spark.

Maybe....

The cubs will blow out the cards in the third game, like the last time they were St. Louis.

I'd rather get two ugly wins than one blowout.

Marmol looks pretty good, at least.

Theriot made a good play too.

Always look on the bright side of life

(Yes, I know, big image. There’s not much talking going on here, so I don’t think we have to worry about clogging up the thread)

I think there's a Monty Python exemption from that rule.

I'll say it

LETS GET SOME RUNS

Cub pitching has been fantastic

Mapmaker - May 20, 2009 reply

marmol seems to be doing well

better than gregg, at least….

brian custer - May 20, 2009 reply

Gregg did well last night, anyway

Too bad Kevin Gregg doesn't close for STL

Whoops, did I say that?

Zing!

One last thing

You guys’ enthusiasm is admirable. My hat is off to you. (You know who I’m talking about) are true fans.

Good night now.

chilango2 - May 20, 2009 reply

G'night.

Let’s go get ’em tomorrow.

Dear Cubs:

SCORE SOME FARKING RUNS!

Thanks,
Gerald

One of these days...

Ron Santo "doesn't know."

So we’re not the only ones, at least.

Hey Bradley!

Good time to start hitting!

Board Game keeps it alive

Good time for a double

Double for Bradley

There we go! Bradley with the double

Bradley with a stand up double.

Can someone be the hero!?

Fonty is a good candidate

Don't get doubled off!

Great time for Fontenot to break out

Fonty is due

Lame

Hey Soto!

Get number 2!

C'mon Geo be a hero!

This is a hard game to watch

It's almost over

I wish it wasnt.

Im ok with extras, that means we score :)

Good

chitownhawkeye - May 20, 2009 reply

As well he should

Good!

I hope he cusses them mercilessly after this game.

Help us Soto you are our only hope

mrtobby - May 20, 2009 reply

It would be weird if we found out

Carpenter was actually Soto’s dad. And Zambrano was actually his sister.

C'mon, Reed!

DamonBerryhillsMitt - May 20, 2009 reply

How many

Outs?

2

2 outs

2

2

In case you're not sure...

…there are now 2 outs

lol

DamonBerryhillsMitt - May 20, 2009 reply

Thanks

Was confused.

To steal a line from Spinal Tap...

…might I ask a practical question? What might it take to get Mark DeRosa back in a Cub uniform? It’s time to pull the plug on the idea that Mike Fontenot can be a regular. And I’m pretty sure that the league is starting to catch up with that Bobby Scales fella that some can’t understand why on earth it took until the age of 31 for him to “burst” on the major league scene. Aaron Miles? Best leave that one alone (thanks Jim Hendry !!!).

BLou - May 20, 2009 reply

Jake Fox and/or Hoff, with perhaps two pitchers...

Jimmyeatworld - May 20, 2009 reply

I think the relevant line is

“It’s such a fine line between stupid and clever. "

How far over that line are you right now?

chitownhawkeye - May 20, 2009 reply

Mark DeRosa is GONE!

He’s not coming back.

cowsarecool220 - May 20, 2009 reply

He's ready now

C'MON REED!

Time taken

Reed making Fraklin work

It may be a typo

But I say run with it

I think I shall call him Fraklin from now on

Johnson is being very pesky

Whew...

this is intense!

REed K's

DAMNIT!!!

SHIT

Johnson ks

shoot!

Whiff

Ah-boo

poop

poop

booooo

at least we scored a run

mrtobby - May 20, 2009 reply

Dang

Nite all

night

Nite, man

Hope you have sound sleep and no hangover.

only had 2

ran out early

Bummer!

Well, sleep well anyway.

Disappointing...

Heavy sigh

we'll get them tomorrow... at least the Brewers are losing...

Freel

Anybody know why we haven’t seen Freel over at third? I know he was a bit banged up but I thought it was nothing serious. Fonty’s just not getting it done at the plate.

15% - May 20, 2009 reply

Gah......lost another series to a division rival and our offense is showing the lack of ARam....

is this the start of a dive? At least our pitching has been great…….

razzpunk - May 20, 2009 reply

I'm out.

You guys have a good night.

Nite, sue.

well this game was not good

Lou needs to figure out something to change it up

how about sitting Soto and Fonty.

maybe even getting Hoff in there.

I suspect he is taking a first step right now....

loudly. Probably with a great number of colorful comments.

BENCH LEE

kcjones - May 20, 2009 reply

See you all...

tomorrow night, depending on how far I get on cleaning my apartment…

Nite.

Well, nuts.

I’m gonna go get thoroughly bake-aked and pass out. Let’s get one tomorrow.

Night, all.

Fonti and Soto should go out tonight...

…get really, really drunk, take tomorrow off, and try their bats in San Diego.

Having Zambrano w/ the 7th best BA on the team....

doesn’t bode well for a good summer…..and the guys below him aren’t even close

kcjones - May 20, 2009 reply

Why Reed...

I say this not necessarily because he K’d

I say this because
1)He is terrible against Right Handed Pitching
2)If he does manage to get a base hit, the score is tied and we have an empty bench since Hill has to come in for Soto anyway.
3)Hill’s AB may have ended in the same result but at least he can hit left handed and all three lefties in that inning had put decent wood on the ball.

TheRiot Police - May 20, 2009 reply

Exactly!

can't win 1 run games

when you score 1 run or lesss

brian custer - May 20, 2009 reply

you can win 1-0

Yeah, with some smart play and good fundamentals, STL wouldn't have even had a run!!

Heads up asses all night!
