I kind of think he did it because he didn’t think the Cubs could make a comeback. If he thought we had a chance of winning, he maybe would have pitched Gooz?
Now — can we all agree why Heilman was sent packing by the Mets? This is exactly what he did in the pen for them last year. Now he’s doing it for the Cubs.
If he isn’t on the first bus to nowhere in the morning, I do not know what else can be done.
the aaron heilman; but nobody wanted to hear it; so that is how the cookie crumbles; aaron trys to groove the perfect pitch; and it hangs like a meatball sometimes
I'd rather take the players out back and shoot em.
Seriously, can we even get any value in return for blowing this team up? Who wants a $48 million dollar Dome? Or a $30 million dude that can hit above .200 in MB? We’re screwed.
nobody listened to what I said prior to this series about the Padres. This was almost inevitable, since the Cubs are slumping horribly and everything SD has done for the last 9 days has worked. a 9-0 home stand.
I hate to say…..but this was a train wreck ready to happen.
Yes, SDSJM, you've said about sixteen times how awesome your prediction skills are.
We swept them last time we played ’em, and a week ago we were riding on a season-high winning streak. I made my estimate a week ago, not Thursday night.
makes it very unlikely that they Cubs will make the playoffs.
This week reminds me a whole bunch of 1999 when the cubs were in the thick of the playoff race for the first 1/4 of the season and then they lost 7 or 9 in a row and were never in the hunt again for the season.
you have to think he’s stuck with not much available yet, or what is being overpriced. And more and more I wonder if it matters, without a hot start, once (if) the sale finalizes, he may be done anyway.
Really, does it have to get better? Why? Ever stop for a second and think that these guys just aren’t very good? That’s why the stat heads are fools most of the time. Guys hit .100 for the first 80 games, helping their clubs completely out of contention by that time only to pick it up and have respectable numbers for the year. Looking at it in total, the guy ends up with decent numbers but the reality is that he was horrendous when it matters. Meet the 2009 Chicago Cubs.
How can you find a ray of hope from this week....I mean how many months are we withouth ARam?
And I just cannot figure out a lineup that will score runs for us if this current team is all we got….sure, I know it is a slump but I can’t see some of these players doing much more….
I see this is another fun game. It shames me as a fan to say that I’m happy I haven’t been around much to watch this week. Just ugly.
Ah well, hopefully this also means they’ll all get hot the same time
and “Tony Gwynn.” However, Cubs fans raised the Padres attendence by some 30K this weekend. Back to 16K at Petco next home stand, when the Pads return to the norm.
We’ve been trying to build a team like the Yankees, except that didn’t even really work for them. Lots of vets who may be really good but not much in the way of up and comers. Or maybe I should say, we get a lot of guys when they are at their peak and working down, not many who are still on their way up. With some exceptions, of course.
vanished with the constant harping over “100 years” and raised expectations. But that’s old news. The team has won 2 straight divisions. If they can compete every year, as the Yankees and the Dodgers do, that’s an improvement and even, maybe win…
Expectations get raised, frustrations grow. Here in SD, the team loses, they stay home. Nobody really grumbles very much except the hard-core. There are other things to do here.
We continue to pack Wrigley Field. Either we are very patient, or stupid.
Tuesday WGN stunk
Wednesday ESPN stunk
Thursday MLBnetwork stunk
Friday (no get to watch in Vegas) but still stunk
Saturday (no get to watch in Vegas) stunk
Sunday WGN stunk
I finally get to watch them 5 out of 7 days and it was putrid
Still rather be in the Cubs situation than the Padres, who will eventually lose Peavy, and probably Gonzalez to free agency. He didn’t like how the Peavy situation was handled.
It almost became “Major League-ish” for the Pads this home stand. Screw ownership — let’s just crank it up a notch. But they cannot keep it up. This will be the highlight of their season, sweeping the Reds, Giants, and the Cubs in a 9-game home stand.
Anyone that thinks otherwise is completely delusional. What signs are there that this team will suddenly have productive at bats? What signs are there that more injuries aren’t on the way? What signs are there that the bad luck and misfortune won’t continue all season long? The answers….NONE.
Wake up call to Lou, yes, this team is indeed one of the worst offenses in MLB. He may be in denial that it isn’t but the reality is that it sure as hell is.
And a memo to Hendry, this team isn’t anywhere near good enough to make up for the entire lack of offense you’re going to get from Miles, Scales, Fontenot and Soto as regular starters. So what do you do? Find any and every player without a no-trade clause and get rid of them. It’s over. The season is a complete and utter loss and the window of opportunity to get to the World Series is unequivocally SHUT.
Season isn't over....but the Cubs sure made is harder for themselves.....
without ARam this team is obviously unable to make up for it as currently constituted….the biggest flaw is our bench and this is showing……if we could do something about it and get someone in here who can drive in some runs we can get back in it and then really fly when ARam gets back….we have great starting pitching…..
There is nothing that leads you to believe the Cubs are capable of winning one in a row let alone 9. No, it isn’t going to happen. This team is not very good and is not going to contend in the NL Central. Reality sucks, but that is what is staring this bunch in the face right now. I can hear it though, neither Lee nor Bradley are worried…and to me, that is simply laughable.
Your comments are clownish as usual. I’ve seen your laughable posts more often than not and quite frankly, most of the others on here have forgotten more baseball than you know. If you don’t like my opinion, I’m cool with that. But from someone with little to know baseball knowledge, I’d save the typing if I were you.
I’ve been watching this team, and this sport, for 40 years. Looks like you’ve been around for 40 days.
Pull your head out of your azz and look at some other baseball games sometime. It might be a revelation to you. If you’re intelligent enough to comprehend it, which I highly doubt.
I haven’t checked the standings. The Padres are now either 1 or 2 games below .500. That would have put them maybe 11 games under when they left Chicago.
A pitcher was brought up, Jody Gerut was sent to the Brewers for Gwynn. That’s it. The same shitty line-up (Gwynn, the only major change) that looked so horrible in Wrigley has just rolled off 9-in a row. i can go up to friends of mine who are Padres fans, and they will tell me that this — what’s just happened this home stand — could never have been predicted.
I’m never an advocate of booing and don’t understand it myself….but absolutely every aspect of this organization deserves it right now. From Hendry and his staff, to Piniella and his staff to every single player that has contributed to this putridity. They are all in it together and absolutely love the praise heaped on them when they win. Whatever happens this week at home…they deserve it.
Except how will that help us rally? All it does it get uglier and then you have players hating the fans....
and talking around the league about how you don’t wanna play in Chicago…..I think we need to relieve the pressure on everyone and pass around a big fat one tomorrow at the game….dugout, announcer’s booth, and to the fans…..
I'd love to
get excited about this game. Give me something to get excited about Cubs!

Normally I'd joke that that's just as good as an off day...
Now I’m just not so sure with our recent performance. So sad.

I was prepared to take 2/3 or sweep the Padres.
What the hell do I know.

brian custer - May 24, 2009
A lot of this awful week
has just been very bad mojo, and a bad hitting slump.
But I still think some of Lou’s decisions are bizarre. If you want the game to be close why let Aaron pitch? Why was Cotts next in line?
zevkalman - May 24, 2009
aaron is really all we've got
maybe he should be sent down to iowa
brian custer - May 24, 2009
GREAT! NEAL COTTS!
I HOPE KEVIN GREGG’S NEXT!
dtpollitt - May 24, 2009
Don't laugh! Lou might ask Bob Howry to come back to pitch next week!
zevkalman - May 24, 2009
Cotts coming in to pitch
this ought to be entertaining!!!
VegasCubFan - May 24, 2009
Not any less
than the first 7 innings.
Reddevil - May 24, 2009
Imagine a skid like this to end a season and miss the playoffs!
It could be worse
calicubfan - May 24, 2009
yes, they could lose 3 straight in the playoffs
VegasCubFan - May 24, 2009
LOL

A Skid like this
makes it very unlikely that they Cubs will make the playoffs.

Once hendry is forced to make some moves in order to keep his job
heine41 - May 24, 2009
Something has to give.
I would hope he’s working on getting some help.
sue369 - May 24, 2009
At this point in the season
you have to think he’s stuck with not much available yet, or what is being overpriced. And more and more I wonder if it matters, without a hot start, once (if) the sale finalizes, he may be done anyway.
chitownhawkeye - May 24, 2009
Where does he start?
Bullpen or a 3rd baseman?
calicubfan - May 24, 2009

The offense will improve beyond this funk… it has to.
Reddevil - May 24, 2009
Does it?
Really, does it have to get better? Why? Ever stop for a second and think that these guys just aren’t very good? That’s why the stat heads are fools most of the time. Guys hit .100 for the first 80 games, helping their clubs completely out of contention by that time only to pick it up and have respectable numbers for the year. Looking at it in total, the guy ends up with decent numbers but the reality is that he was horrendous when it matters. Meet the 2009 Chicago Cubs.

VegasCubFan - May 24, 2009
How can you find a ray of hope from this week....I mean how many months are we withouth ARam?
And I just cannot figure out a lineup that will score runs for us if this current team is all we got….sure, I know it is a slump but I can’t see some of these players doing much more….

A return to the NL might be really the problem. He really feasted on those AL pitchers…but maybe…an adjustment to the NL takes some time.
San Diego Smooth Jazz Man - May 24, 2009
Has fallen quite a bit from last year's performance....
razzpunk - May 24, 2009

I expect some professional hitting! not missing and weak tappers
VegasCubFan - May 24, 2009

zevkalman - May 24, 2009
Not true
Lost the first game to Houston 6-5.
Not Bruce Froemming - May 24, 2009
That team looks TOTALLY deflated
$140 MILLION dollars doesn’t buy much these days
calicubfan - May 24, 2009
But 40 million buys you 9 in a row
and “Tony Gwynn.” However, Cubs fans raised the Padres attendence by some 30K this weekend. Back to 16K at Petco next home stand, when the Pads return to the norm.
San Diego Smooth Jazz Man - May 24, 2009
I think that's a lot of the problem
We’ve been trying to build a team like the Yankees, except that didn’t even really work for them. Lots of vets who may be really good but not much in the way of up and comers. Or maybe I should say, we get a lot of guys when they are at their peak and working down, not many who are still on their way up. With some exceptions, of course.
chitownhawkeye - May 24, 2009
You hit the nail on the head there....
razzpunk - May 24, 2009
Well, a team with money rolling in
should be able to buy players, and supplement them with home-grown talent. The Dodgers are proving to be a good mix of that right now.
San Diego Smooth Jazz Man - May 24, 2009
Problem is Chicago fans lack patience
Notice how fast everyone turned this team over a week. Building from scratch takes too much time, just like it would in NY.
Mike Martin - May 24, 2009
100+ years is pretty patient I would say....

Well, we don't fork over the paychecks.
Still rather be in the Cubs situation than the Padres, who will eventually lose Peavy, and probably Gonzalez to free agency. He didn’t like how the Peavy situation was handled.
It almost became “Major League-ish” for the Pads this home stand. Screw ownership — let’s just crank it up a notch. But they cannot keep it up. This will be the highlight of their season, sweeping the Reds, Giants, and the Cubs in a 9-game home stand.
San Diego Smooth Jazz Man - May 24, 2009
This season is OVER

razzpunk - May 24, 2009
Well
There is nothing that leads you to believe the Cubs are capable of winning one in a row let alone 9. No, it isn’t going to happen. This team is not very good and is not going to contend in the NL Central. Reality sucks, but that is what is staring this bunch in the face right now. I can hear it though, neither Lee nor Bradley are worried…and to me, that is simply laughable.

If you've been around baseball you would know
that NO ONE has sealed their fate this early in the season.

Repeating....
I haven’t checked the standings. The Padres are now either 1 or 2 games below .500. That would have put them maybe 11 games under when they left Chicago.
A pitcher was brought up, Jody Gerut was sent to the Brewers for Gwynn. That’s it. The same shitty line-up (Gwynn, the only major change) that looked so horrible in Wrigley has just rolled off 9-in a row. i can go up to friends of mine who are Padres fans, and they will tell me that this — what’s just happened this home stand — could never have been predicted.

Bye then.
See you next season.

Am I spelling "fair-weather-fan" correctly?
calicubfan - May 24, 2009
That works for me.
A little resarch shows that he IS one.
San Diego Smooth Jazz Man - May 24, 2009
I think that's fair.

I'll bet he even has a Cubs hat.
Maybe, just maybe he has a shirt too.
calicubfan - May 24, 2009
Well, he can spell "Cubs," apparently,
so that’s progress.

It's baseball...
Teams can get it together in an instant… Jesus, you’re acting like we’re 15 games out and it’s August…

Typical Cubbie fan BS
It’s going to get ugly in the stands at Wrigley next week.
Not Bruce Froemming - May 24, 2009
Good
I’m never an advocate of booing and don’t understand it myself….but absolutely every aspect of this organization deserves it right now. From Hendry and his staff, to Piniella and his staff to every single player that has contributed to this putridity. They are all in it together and absolutely love the praise heaped on them when they win. Whatever happens this week at home…they deserve it.

Except how will that help us rally? All it does it get uglier and then you have players hating the fans....
and talking around the league about how you don’t wanna play in Chicago…..I think we need to relieve the pressure on everyone and pass around a big fat one tomorrow at the game….dugout, announcer’s booth, and to the fans…..

Best idea EVAR

A quick scan of K12's comments
Shows that he has just about never had anything good to say. Especially that “Zambrano, the Clown” fan post, an instant classic.
San Diego Smooth Jazz Man - May 24, 2009
You are correct.
sue369 - May 24, 2009
For the record...
…the Brewers could get swept tonight @ MIN and the Cardinals lost to the Royals today. So there’s that.

and cotts was rocking it again today
can’t wait to see him live this week!!!!

The Cubs' 4 hour flight back home...
…will no doubt feel like a flight to China
calicubfan - May 24, 2009
OT: I left WGN on after the game and Bob Newhart's show came on. Lame...
Whatever happened to that show when he was in Chicago with what’s-her-name and lived in a condo on the Near North Side?
