however, there have been a ton of “dang baseball is a game of inches” situs this season IMHO, and we’ve been a bloop hit away or a ball touching chalk away from keeping the line moving…
I am just required by law to use knowledge from my journalism degree once a month or else the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee sends an electric shock through my phone.
It’s the new me, the one Heine has always wanted. Nothing but sunshine pumping from this guy. You’ll get ’em next time Soriano. WanderingWaverer, that sounded like a negative post, try and turn that frown upside down.
walk into the clubhouse, look at the players and say “You disgust me, get out of my sight” and walk out. There was a day when I thought they might take it to heart, I am not sure right now though.
…on today’s game. Years ago, this may have worked if you picked the right spot, but players today feel a sense of entitlement because of their contracts.
Max’s little league team had a practice. For about forty minutes, the coach hit balls, and the kids playing their positions could not make a single out.
I dont give a crap if he is the only lefty in the pen, he is also your best/only true good long relief pitcher. I am starting to lose all faith in Lou’s decisions.
It was a bad call, but he was at the plate with the chance to tie it and struck out. Last out in a close game he held the bat on strike three. I agree it was a bad call, but umpires make bad calls all the time, and Dome can’t watch the final strikek go by.
Some days I like to just think of the good ol days
Back in ‘98 when I worshipped Sosa and loved just making the playoffs. I’d like to go back and just kick my ass. Now we’re supposed to win and every game is a knife to the heart!
I'm not arguing about his placement in the order...
I wish he wasn’t at lead-off.
But it seems inarguable to me that it’s a positive sign that he got two hits today. It may not be a trend. He may revert back to going 0 for the century again. But what’s wrong with at least being glad that today he performed well?
to “+1” such a garbage comment. of course it doesnt “guarantee” anything, nobody is looking for any guarantees. we like aram, hes a good player, we will be glad to have him back
But if you followed the kind of commentary that Cubsnlinux puts up around here, you’ll notice that’s par for the course. I have yet to see him say a single thing positive about the team. (Check his message history, for example).
The biggest problem I see is we are stuck with 3 very mediocre players in the OF for years to come. Any improvements will have to come from new infielders. (not likely)

2 right at someone. Whatever works…

a "gift" DP sure helped, but we'll take it
12to23to17 - June 25, 2009
Only a gift
After Riot was able to pick that hot shot. It was a nice snag.
Clutch16 - June 25, 2009
we've hit into a TON of bad luck this season as well...
12to23to17 - June 25, 2009
"bad luck" ..yeah right...blame it on bad luck now..
cubsnlinux - June 25, 2009
i'm not blaming EVERYTHING on bad luck
however, there have been a ton of “dang baseball is a game of inches” situs this season IMHO, and we’ve been a bloop hit away or a ball touching chalk away from keeping the line moving…
12to23to17 - June 25, 2009
and remember, that happens to every darn team..not just us
baseball is a game of inches, not just cubs baseball
cubsnlinux - June 25, 2009

good teams make their own breaks, and hopefully the second half will be more cub friendly

yes THAT TR, not teddy roosevelt lilly
12to23to17 - June 25, 2009

He’d strangle it.

thats how its done now
jesus christos - June 25, 2009
Lou said yesterday
that he would just pull names out of a hat for the lineup. ’Cause nothing else was working.
Archie - June 25, 2009
that's right.
Not sure this was that lineup. :P
drewishdrewid - June 25, 2009
that seems to be about his level of managing

youd think after the stuff he said about the cubs in iowa hed be cut
jesus christos - June 25, 2009
what did he say?
lexmarklover - June 25, 2009
he said
that when he talked to the big club during his rehab, that they didn’t seem to be interested in bringing him up.
drewishdrewid - June 25, 2009
said he wasnt paying attention to the cubs and that he really didnt care about what the cubs were doing
jesus christos - June 25, 2009
or something like that
jesus christos - June 25, 2009
hey guys let's play "What's Lou going to say in his postgame news conference."
lexmarklover - June 25, 2009
fox had that uh… big home run… and fukudome tripled… it was a good game
jesus christos - June 25, 2009
I really would like to see Lou
walk into the clubhouse, look at the players and say “You disgust me, get out of my sight” and walk out. There was a day when I thought they might take it to heart, I am not sure right now though.
williamzabka42 - June 25, 2009

and perfect feed?
WanderingWanderer - June 25, 2009
Can't assume the DP
Thus, no error.
Clutch16 - June 25, 2009

Oh, for Christ's sake
Stolen base and a throwing error.

Just in time for our big inning!

sue369 - June 25, 2009
Hoff

Archie - June 25, 2009
Hoff..HR!!!!...They are teasing again..darn it
cubsnlinux - June 25, 2009
good start!
CubfaninRaleigh(869milestoWrigley) - June 25, 2009
MORE POWER!!
Blue W - June 25, 2009
And now Mr. Fox...
Make it two!
CubsWin!Oregon - June 25, 2009

jesus christos - June 25, 2009
Hoff is coming out of that mini slump just when we need him to
4-4 day for fox?
jkobus - June 25, 2009
Time for Fox's triple...
Archie - June 25, 2009
Fox Ks
Clutch16 - June 25, 2009
the quick brown fox.....
well crap…so much for that
12to23to17 - June 25, 2009
Are we just trying to lose another 1-run game
or is it a comeback
EamuCanoli - June 25, 2009
Was it a bomb?
Don't Fear the Reaper - June 25, 2009
oppo
just over the fence in LF
12to23to17 - June 25, 2009

Don't Fear the Reaper - June 25, 2009
Cleared the LF fence by about a foot
Clutch16 - June 25, 2009
we just wanted to lose this one by 1
make us look better
Ryanocm1 - June 25, 2009
fontenot up
2 outs now
jesus christos - June 25, 2009
I knew Hoff was just teasing us fans...ha ha ha haha
cubsnlinux - June 25, 2009
just get on base Mikey...
Blue W - June 25, 2009
Hmmm...
The rest of the lineup isn’t as encouraging…
I guess I’ll predict that Kosuke drives on ein.
CubsWin!Oregon - June 25, 2009
Don't hassle the Hoff
Pre - June 25, 2009

wind is howling to RF
12to23to17 - June 25, 2009
WOW
LOTS of wind going out to right in Detroit right now. BIG storm coming in. Get one up Mikey
Archie - June 25, 2009
looks like a 30 MPH wind
Archie - June 25, 2009
Just get the ball
in the air Mike and the wind will take it out.
sue369 - June 25, 2009
Fonty Ks
Clutch16 - June 25, 2009
good try fontenot
You’ll get ’em next game.
BeltwayCubsFan - June 25, 2009
Down to Dome for the second game in a row.
Clutch16 - June 25, 2009
he got rung up on a bad call yesterday.
Looked about 4 inches outside.
Archie - June 25, 2009
And a few inches high, too
hip2bsquare - June 25, 2009
WOF
Pat, can I buy a run? I’ll take an ‘E’
I’m sorry, you don’t have enough money to buy a run
Greggle - June 25, 2009
boy lou or hendrys idea of making fontenot an everday player is reaalllly paying off…
jesus christos - June 25, 2009
Agreed.
Not gonna cut it.
ElHijoDelRonSanto - June 25, 2009
he is not an everyday player..period.
cubsnlinux - June 25, 2009
but atleast we have miles to back him up
jesus christos - June 25, 2009
great platoon though
Don't Fear the Reaper - June 25, 2009
Crap, Dome at the plate
with two outs in the 9th again.
N Oakley - June 25, 2009
Ha ha
Greggle - June 25, 2009
I think you mean...
“Thank God, Dome at the plate…”
:)
CubsWin!Oregon - June 25, 2009
Glad he came through.
I didn’t want him to fail two games in a row.
N Oakley - June 25, 2009
Fail again?
Only you fail. It was a bad call on a third strike should have been called a ball, he walks.
Don’t dis Dome
Greggle - June 25, 2009
Yes, fail.
It was a bad call, but he was at the plate with the chance to tie it and struck out. Last out in a close game he held the bat on strike three. I agree it was a bad call, but umpires make bad calls all the time, and Dome can’t watch the final strikek go by.
N Oakley - June 25, 2009
Dome doubles to LF!
1 on, 2 out – Soto PH
Clutch16 - June 25, 2009
Is he relaxed?
N Oakley - June 25, 2009
It was a pretty nice swing
Hoisted it to the gap.
Clutch16 - June 25, 2009
Soto?
N Oakley - June 25, 2009
Eh
Clutch16 - June 25, 2009
Double!
C’mon Geo!
Pre - June 25, 2009

lexmarklover - June 25, 2009
Soto PH for Hill

Geovany Poto to the plate!
Let’s go Geo!!!!
heine41 - June 25, 2009

EamuCanoli - June 25, 2009

Whoa!
EamuCanoli - June 25, 2009
no, but it 2:40...does that count???

Pretend like the ball is the face of the guy who just stole your weed or something.

Archie - June 25, 2009
Geo Ks
Game over.
Clutch16 - June 25, 2009
can't win 'em all
and we were so close! Only one more run…Tomorrow’s another day, a really fantastic one for the Cubs I hope.
BeltwayCubsFan - June 25, 2009

joeschmitt - June 25, 2009
oh that is rich

Hey, buddy
We’ll get ’em tomorrow!
Aw, shucks.

Keep the faith!

12to23to17 - June 25, 2009
Geo doesn't care...
He’s too stoned to know what just happened.
kanderber - June 25, 2009
oh yeah, well, that's like, your opinion, dude
joeschmitt - June 25, 2009
A China man pee'd on my rug!
I really liked that rug, it really pulled the room together
WanderingWanderer - June 25, 2009
Well crap
sue369 - June 25, 2009
well, we will get 'em next time..ummmm...humph..humph...
cubsnlinux - June 25, 2009
I'm not betting
on this team.
sue369 - June 25, 2009
thank you so much!

FOUR times……..WOW
12to23to17 - June 25, 2009

cubsnlinux - June 25, 2009
win 4 in a row, lose 4 in a row.
what are they gonna do for an encore
lexmarklover - June 25, 2009
Put 4 guys on the DL!
MPH73 - June 25, 2009
4 straight rainouts?
hip2bsquare - June 25, 2009
going down how we have played all season
half ass check swing
Ryanocm1 - June 25, 2009
well, at least Rodney is on my fantasy team, but I really wanted him to get the L
Don't Fear the Reaper - June 25, 2009
Called strikes two days in a row?
This can’t be for real. Anyone see it, gameday has it looking just off the middle, thigh high.
N Oakley - June 25, 2009
he couldnt check
jesus christos - June 25, 2009
He swung on a ball
Greggle - June 25, 2009
it was low
heine41 - June 25, 2009
i thought for sure
we would at least tie it up
brian custer - June 25, 2009
are you kidding?
PieFan08 - June 25, 2009
really? wow? welcome to earth
cubsnlinux - June 25, 2009
yeah, how could you think that!??!?!?!
cubs have not came back from behind all year
joeschmitt - June 25, 2009
by the same logic, there were a ton of games where they haven't come back too..
this is a bad team.
cubsnlinux - June 25, 2009
cant argue with that
good points
joeschmitt - June 25, 2009
time to guess what lou will say this time
jesus christos - June 25, 2009
Lou has seen just about everything...
…and nothing he says in public will be a magic pill for this team.
MPH73 - June 25, 2009
Apathy
Rising
Reddevil - June 25, 2009
under .500 on 6/25
69 games into the season
Who would have guessed?
ElHijoDelRonSanto - June 25, 2009
69 hehehehe
jesus christos - June 25, 2009
Similar to 07'
PieFan08 - June 25, 2009
It's ok...
We’ll take the traditional “Oakland” path to the playoffs…and go insane in the second half.
CubsWin!Oregon - June 25, 2009
As long as we don't take the Oakland path IN the playoffs
or the “Cubs” path, for that matter
ElHijoDelRonSanto - June 25, 2009
Agreed...
!
CubsWin!Oregon - June 25, 2009
hmm! :-(
CubfaninRaleigh(869milestoWrigley) - June 25, 2009
paging SWL
we need a picture of GEO dressed in a robe like The Dude from Lebowski
joeschmitt - June 25, 2009
The Geo abides.
N Oakley - June 25, 2009
3-2 mets two outs in ninth with one on.
Looks like we probably won’t lose ground anyway.
Archie - June 25, 2009
that really pisses me off
lexmarklover - June 25, 2009
we could have gained a lot of ground by taking 2 of 3
PieFan08 - June 25, 2009
yup
Archie - June 25, 2009
No one is running away...
…with this division anytime soon, trust me.
I’m not saying the Cubs will end up winning it, but at least 3 teams will be in the hunt until Sept.
MPH73 - June 25, 2009
I think we will still win division
I really do.
PieFan08 - June 25, 2009
is luis castillo playing? never know
jesus christos - June 25, 2009
Some days I like to just think of the good ol days
Back in ‘98 when I worshipped Sosa and loved just making the playoffs. I’d like to go back and just kick my ass. Now we’re supposed to win and every game is a knife to the heart!
EamuCanoli - June 25, 2009
Haha
I agree, we have been spoiled.
PieFan08 - June 25, 2009
Cards lose
Doggie Stalker - June 25, 2009
Ahh,
good news.
N Oakley - June 25, 2009
On the bright side...
Fox looked good, and Sori had a good game at the plate.
CubsWin!Oregon - June 25, 2009
Soriano sucks...please
You see that curve he swung at…
EamuCanoli - June 25, 2009
Tell you what...
You bitch about one pitch, and I’ll take some solace in the two solid hits he got.
CubsWin!Oregon - June 25, 2009
Well take solace in his .231 avg
We thought he was coming around with those walkoffs…face facts he should be batting 5 or 6 in a position for RBIs.
EamuCanoli - June 25, 2009
I'm not arguing about his placement in the order...
I wish he wasn’t at lead-off.
But it seems inarguable to me that it’s a positive sign that he got two hits today. It may not be a trend. He may revert back to going 0 for the century again. But what’s wrong with at least being glad that today he performed well?
CubsWin!Oregon - June 25, 2009
magglios HR is the play of the game
thats pathetic
jesus christos - June 25, 2009
Frankie trying to blow it for the Mets
oh boy
EamuCanoli - June 25, 2009
It's like a f'd up tug-o-war.
The offense finally starts putting runs on the board and the lights out starter has a rough outing.
Time to use AJ as a slumpbuster.
N Oakley - June 25, 2009
on the bright side a rams return is atleast 2weeks away
jesus christos - June 25, 2009
what does that even guarantee you
nothing
lexmarklover - June 25, 2009
+1
I am glad to see that ARamis is coming back soon but what the heck will that guarantee?
cubsnlinux - June 25, 2009
this has to be a sock puppet
to “+1” such a garbage comment. of course it doesnt “guarantee” anything, nobody is looking for any guarantees. we like aram, hes a good player, we will be glad to have him back
joeschmitt - June 25, 2009
umm people are looking for the offense to pick up when he comes back
and read further clown
lexmarklover - June 25, 2009
Exactly...
But if you followed the kind of commentary that Cubsnlinux puts up around here, you’ll notice that’s par for the course. I have yet to see him say a single thing positive about the team. (Check his message history, for example).
CubsWin!Oregon - June 25, 2009
but yes im looking forward to that day.
lexmarklover - June 25, 2009
good thing we didnt come back
my signature would be too long after adding a beltway quote or 2
joeschmitt - June 25, 2009
If the Cubs can't beat up on Galaraga
we may be in trouble.
Mapmaker - June 25, 2009
"may be"? ..we are neck deep in trouble..
cubsnlinux - June 25, 2009
I will agree with you goofballs who are all bright side all of the time...
we’re lucky we’re not 8 or 9 games out…we would be 5+ if Kerry Wood didn’t give back 2 he owed us for countless DL trips over his career
EamuCanoli - June 25, 2009
Goofballs?
Way to make friends Canoli.

Mapmaker - June 25, 2009
4-3
Prince went yard
Doggie Stalker - June 25, 2009
problem
The biggest problem I see is we are stuck with 3 very mediocre players in the OF for years to come. Any improvements will have to come from new infielders. (not likely)
KedzieKid - June 25, 2009
yep, and while I don't really blame him for Soriano
Signing Dome to that huge contract basically sight unseen, and then Bradley…….
Bad decisions
WanderingWanderer - June 25, 2009
most signings of japanese players tend to go down the toilet, with the rare exception of ichiro
jesus christos - June 25, 2009
so, then it looks like the risk is very very high..
Then why in the heck Hendry flushed so much money in the toilet against such high odds?
cubsnlinux - June 25, 2009
Hendry has a blidspot at second, and in rightfield
been trying to fill those positions for years, and always makes the wrong call
WanderingWanderer - June 25, 2009
we need some changes.... soon
lexmarklover - June 25, 2009
I'm sure Lou is just about ready to possibly start thinking about maybe making some changes
at a time that is yet to be determined
WanderingWanderer - June 25, 2009
ha ha ha..kaplan on the post game show just said that the Cubs lost to the Orioles..
Wake up Kaplan!
cubsnlinux - June 25, 2009
i have great news: aaron miles was injured in batting practice
jesus christos - June 25, 2009
may be it was Lou that surprised him with a throw from behind? :-P
cubsnlinux - June 25, 2009
6-3 Twins!
lexmarklover - June 25, 2009
In light of today's news about Soto, I just couldn't let it go unnoticed...
…that there were 420 comments in this thread.
But alas, mine makes 421…
