The fundamentals of this team are non-existant....why should that be a shocker.

The things that we have seen thus far this year was what cost them last year. Poor Fundamentals Being shut down by bullpens Questionable bullpen work.

Well when the Twins are winning the division in September we can all say the meaningless loses to s*** teams in April are just ordinary games.

The fundamentals of this team never change. There really no point to Lillibridge as he has no defensive ability and just f***ing up his only trait.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 5, 2011 -> 07:30 AM) Yup, first time the "official" attendance was under 27k since 2002. Probably half that many people actually there. I don't know if those were ticket holders not showing up or tickets that the Cubs and their brokers purchased and were unable to sell to anyone. Ticket brokers own a ton of season tickets and are the holders of most of the empty seats.

With how good the Royal farm system is, if I were a fan of theirs I would want to blow this season to get another high pick for when these guys come up next year.

2 pitches...2 hits.... Now Thorton Guillen is a f***ing moron...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 02:10 PM) It's a 1 run game though. A "Closer" could still easily wind up useful. If you're going to designate a "Closer", you may as well be stubborn about it. It is a 3 run game

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 02:08 PM) Thornton is in the closer's spot now. Sure and Tuesday it will be a week since he last pitched.

Ohman again? Why not Thorton? There is an off day tomorrow correct?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 02:05 PM) That triple play changed the whole momentum of this game. Yes a team that has scored 23 runs in two days needs to be bunting in the 4th inning to get the bat into Omar Vizquel and Juan Pierre's hands to drive in the runs over Alexi. That is assine thinking every time.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 02:03 PM) If we're ripping D1, seriously look at the actual numbers. 6 IP, 6 h, 2 ER, 1 BB, 8 K's. If Roy Halladay put up that line, you wouldn't be sitting there saying "He's not an ace!". Not calling him an ace is not ripping him. Starters need to give you more than 6 innings. Masterson cooled down a hot hitting team today. Nobody his confusing him with Roy Halladay. Wow have these bats gone south.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 02:01 PM) What about Danks makes you say that? Is it just the amount of money committed? Because he is a six inning pitcher. Today is the prime example of why he is not an ace. He is a really good pitcher but not worth a contract of that magnitude.

He is a f***ing LOOGY that is it. Guillen is trying to make him something he is not. This is Randy Williams all over again.

Should be 4-1 shortly.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 01:53 PM) Why are we bringing in our worst reliever in a one run game? Sale pitched twice already and we need the L/R match-up at cost no matter hoiw s***ty the left handed thrower is. Where are Santos and Crain......hanarahn and Marson...you gotta be f***ing kidding me.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 01:50 PM) Ohman sigh.....Will Ohman He is a loogy and can not give you a full inning if there are three lefties hitting. I see no difference with him and Randy Williams.

Masterson at a whole 92 pitches with 2 outs in the 7th. This game is looking like last year without the Sunday lineup.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 01:39 PM) Because all the rain means is that Danks doesn't get to go deep into the game. They are going to get the entire game in today no matter what. THe rain will just mean an hour or two delay. This is his last inning anyway and no guarantee he has the lead when the rain comes.

Why do popups baffle this team so much?

Rain is coming and the game is official. Why swing at the first pitch....

If you are not anxious and nervous on Opening Day you are not alive.

I just can not see the cubs competing with the Brewers or Reds and the Cardinals are always there.

I have seen one half of Timberwolf basketball this season and all I can say is that it is easy to get 20 points and 20 rebounds when nobody on your team is looking to do anything out there except wander around aimlessly.

Please do not berate me as I do not follow wrestling any longer. I took my kids to RAW last night and I gotta tell you it was a miserable experience. I have some knowledge of the wrestlers but the matches last night were s***. What is with the combined tag team matches and the tag team champion wrestling with six guys outside the ring and the six guys outside ofhe ring were better than the two guys wrestling. The commercial breaks made attending a Bears game seem fast paced. Then there was suppossed ot be a Smack Down with better wrestlers but hat was goingot happen until around 10:50 and after being there for NXT, Superstars and RAW enough was enough. The endless promo during the breaks was nauseating except for he Road Warriors getting into the Hall of Fame. Oh and my car was blocked in the parking lot.
