Terrible time for Pods to take just an awful punch swing on the 1-1 pitch.

Dye might not be back tomorrow, and Fields not back until Wednesday at earlier. If Betemit doesn't play tomorrow and against Galarraga, I will take the Free Wilson Betemit sign to the Cell on Thursday.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ May 5, 2009 -> 12:43 AM) I kind of turned my head for a bit, was Lilli trying to bunt at all in that botched AB? Nope, he struck out on strike 4. This lineup is just baffling.

Does Getz have that little power, or did it get in on him?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 5, 2009 -> 12:42 AM) Seriously, Pods has 2 hits today? Both were plays that easily should have been made, but we'll take it for Pods trade value.

Just walk back to Winston-Salem you awful player.

QUOTE (JustWin @ May 5, 2009 -> 12:29 AM) Ugh, the Cubs are heating up just as the Sox are going ice cold. I don't know how I can keep surviving the summers if this keeps up. At least if the Sox are playing well I don't care as much about what the Cubs do. Or if the Sox are stinking it up it makes it a lot more bearable if the Cubs are too. But the Cubs winning and Sox losing is a sickening combination that will take years off my life. I know, I know. It's a game, why get stressed about it? But damn it I can't help it. Looking like another terrible day of baseball, as Cubs will likely win, Sox lose, Twins win, Cardinals lose

QUOTE (jphat007 @ May 4, 2009 -> 11:31 PM) greinke, davies, gallaraga. awesome The AL Central has some real solid pitching this year. Every team seems to go 4 deep, except for the Twins (but might have the most average starting pitching). If this offense can't wake up, this season could get ugly fast. We've faced some real mediocre pitchers this first month and struggled against them.

Time to go root for Rondo getting hip-checked into the scorer's table. Let me know if anything happens to Quentin or Getz.

That slider is amazing.

Nix missed that slider by a foot. Playing him against a RHP when you have Betemit on the bench is just so freaking dumb.

QUOTE (tommy @ May 5, 2009 -> 12:07 AM) Ok, second time around, let's show the world its possible to hit off Greinke! Screw that, I just want to see some fight from this team. All these minor injuries have just destroyed any rhythm they might have.

Something Colon's going to have to do is change the eye level. Every pitch is at nearly the same height due to never throwing offspeed pitches. Even if it's just to waste a pitch, going low with the curve can do wonders for him.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 4, 2009 -> 11:03 PM) ive been out of town for almost a week...but in what f***ed up world did i come back to where scott podsednik is a right fielder? It was a terrible played week of baseball. We won 3 games that we honestly had no reason to win. Lots of our batters continue to get HBP, and we haven't hit anyone.

And Pods just misjudged a deep liner. Seriously KW, apologize to the fans and send him to the glue factory.

3-0 KC...Colon's trying to break the record for most 2 strike hits allowed in a game.

QUOTE (Drew @ May 4, 2009 -> 10:56 PM) Podsednik in right. Fatty is keeping us in this game single-handedly. Fatty's allowed 5 hits and retired 7 batters.

At least we won't lose 1-0 and blame it all on Pods.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 4, 2009 -> 11:53 PM) At this point it's on Ozzie, he needs to know his f***ing personnel. His use of the personnel this season has been really bad. Not exactly putting players in the position to succeed. Of course, a Little League coach couldn't put Lillibridge in a position to succeed.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 4, 2009 -> 11:52 PM) hes a horrible, horrible baseball player and its an absolute joke he's even on the team let alone in the lineup on a somewhat consistent basis Yep, he's the worst starter in baseball and one of the most overmatched players I've had the chance to see get more than a handful of at bats. Aren't "grinders" supposed to handle the bat well?

And that's the 3rd hit-and-run that Lillibridge has blown this year. What an absolute disgraceful piece of s***.

You'll never believe this...Javy was cruising along with a 3-0 lead, and then gave up 4 runs in the 6th inning.

Yay...single by Pods, as Callaspo looked like my grandma on the liner.

Greinke is putting on an absolute clinic. It sucks some team didn't trade for him 2 years ago and get him out of this division.

Someone check Theriot's bat for some cork! Cubs offense should be ridiculous come summer.
