We don’t think Carlos has some anger issues, do we? Nah.
Will Wood make his next start? Honestly, at this point, do we even care?
When Rick Morrissey knows you can’t run a bullpen, it’s obvious to every simp on the planet.
Groucho explains why Gilbert Arenas is weird.
Antawn Jamison says his weak defense on Andres Nocioni was a birthday present. Hey, I’ve been watching Antawn play D like this for years. He must think it’s everybody’s birthday!
Scott Skiles says tonight’s not a must-win. Even though it is.
Meet the new closer. Same as the old closer.
Chad Fox says it’s not Dusty Baker’s fault. Just wait until he lawyer’s up.
I feel bad for Ryne Sandberg. He had to spend his private Cooperstown tour followed around by creepy little Dan McGrath?
Apparently the Wizard of Roz was on the tour, too.
How great would it be to watch Lou Piniella tear out Curt Schilling’s voice box?
Former Cubs great Tuffy Rhodes isn’t so happy in Japan these days.
Two Cubs make the BA Prospect Hot Sheet this week. And so does a former Cubs star, almost as legendary as Tuffy.
Slate’s Will Saletan wonders why steroids are illegally performance enhancing but LASIK eye surgery isn’t?
America’s finest news source says that our current foreign policy is making it harder for students studying abroad to get laid.
How could Angel Guzman not get a mention? I heard that while hanging out in his apartment in Iowa he was able to successfully make a sandwich without injuring himself in any way.
Nice to see that I stink in any language.
Its interesting you are surprised that the Cubs have any fans left. I decided last night, after turning off that crap in the 7th, that I need to take at least a week off from watching them. I cant get into this season, and I know alot of other people that are having the same problem. Maybe its a carry-over effect from last season, or the fact that they did nothing to better themselves in the off season, I dont know. I do know this, i’ve never been more critical of a Cubs team, im sick of Macias, having no closer, Dubois riding the bench in favor of Hollandsworth, Dusty’s handling of the pitching staff, pretty much everything.
The best move Baker made all night was using Hank in a double switch. He was then afraid to use Macias as a pinch hitter or in a subsequent double switch because Jose’s the emergency catcher.
Hadn’t the Gremlin already PH?
Did he? Did I miss a Gremlin appearance?
You’re right. He pinch hit for Glendon in the sixth. I suppose he’d have just had The Franchise catch if Hank took a foul tip off the jugular.
No offense to the Gremlin, but if he needed to catch I hope someone hides the cather equipment. That way we can finally put the piece of crap on the DL. I am glad Dusty felt the need to bench Dubois after he jacked a bomb.
Or maybe Woody could have caught and got his side session in throwing missles back to the mound
I’m really at a loss of words after last night’s game. That was a vintage Cubs game. Trying to outslug the other team and they come up with another loss.
Carlos goes psychotic again and the bullpen continues their demise. There’s not much else you can say. Dusty didn’t even fuck this one up.
It’s damn near the end of April and we are .500 while being 4 games back of the Red Satanic Fowl. We win one, we lose one, then we might get hot and win two, and same old story after story. Inconsistent shitty baseball is the Cubs way of torturing what fans they have left.
On top of that, we replace one Tommy John corpse, Chad Fox, with another waiting to happen Tommy John corpse, Will Ohman. I think to be in the Cubs bullpen you have to:
a)have had Tommy John surgery or working on having it
b)be washed up and trying to rejuvenate your career
c)been good with another team and get traded to get a big check and suck with the Cubs
d)be a young guy called up from Iowa and just rot on the bullpen bench
We’ll see what happens today? I think Dempster is due for a win though. He’s been pitching pretty well, so it couldn’t surprisingly head south on us, could it? Should be an interesting one either way.
GO CUBS!
Baker Basher
CCB: I know what you’re talking about. I’ve been watching the games, but not hanging on every pitch like I was last year. I think for me it’s a combination of things in that I’ve been distracted by the Bulls actually being good, Illinois’ run to the Final Four burning me out, and the fact that last year’s team was so maddening I’ve just decided to try and take it a little easier. I get disgusted with this team’s mistakes, but not “throw the TV through the window angry” like I did with the ’04 version.
If you don’t think Dusty didn’t screw up yesterday you’re not looking hard enough. After all, he did bring in Remlinjerk to face a lefty. BTW, even though dummy is with 2 m’s and not an mb, I kind of like calling him Dumby Dusty (with the “B” sound – dum-bee )
I hate myself:
Hairston
Perez
Patterson
Lee
Burnitz
Hollandsworth
Macias 3B
Blanco
Dempster
Please say that’s a joke.
I wish I could.
Shouldn’t I look into the Cubs throwing this one with that lineup?
Did I make a PH appearance last night?
Nope, but I did.
Dusty’s fucking with me, right?
What do you mean, dude?
Yeah, what do you mean, dude?
That line-up has me talking to myself. I need therapy.
Leaveth. Novoa cometh. Uggh.
There’s still four of us?
Okay, what the hell is wrong with me now?
Do I have the sniffles?
You were 2-4 with a walk and homer yesterday E-Ramis. You keep spending that much time on the basepaths and you’re bound to get hurt.
may as well add me to the automatic out parade
Remember when I was this awesome pinch-hitter and everyone liked me?
Let’s try that again.
Mitch Kricksteen’s his real name. We just call him Kumsteen, because we’re witty.
You’re being kind of hard on me Andy. I K’d like 7 guys even though my shoulder (or whatever) hurt. I’ll be fine … eventually.
I think we’d be doing better to just have a six-hitter lineup, where–god forbid–if the Cubs load the bases the runner from third is picked off or forced out (we know he wont score) he could just trot into the dugout, keep his helment on, grab another bat and immediately be “in-the-hole.”
