where are all the morons who called into sports talk radio claiming the cubs were a better team without soriano in the lineup now?

Did Jason Bay drop a fly ball costing the Pirates a few runs? I missed the play.

it was a one hopper that he mishandled....brenely is unreal, he was like wow thats a tough error that was a hard ball to handle.....what a joke ...every major leaguer should make that play...and yes it did cost a run

Zambrano just completely blew up, starting after he broke his back over his knee after striking out. Here comes Wuertz...a reminder, don't swing if it gets to 3-2.

How does his pitch speed look? Last start he was hovering around 90, and had that moment where the trainer came out and looked at him

89-94...Pirates could have had a few more runs earlier in the game, but flew out to the fence.

STOP THROWING FASTBALLS TO SORIANO! The Cubs offense just keeps going and going.

Bixler...the same dumbass who forgot to run home earlier this year on a bunt where the Pirates would have beat the Cubs. Jack Wilson will be back off the DL soon, but that doesn't really help us much.

You should call you're friend back now.

So, Marmol is human

Throw a middle in fastball to a hot hitter like McLouth and your going to have problems. It is strange to see Marmol lose a game for them though, very strange.

 

Anyways, Soriano is 20 for 37 with 7 home runs, 12 runs scored, and 15 RBI's on their homestand after going 5 for 5 today with 2 homers. He's done all that, and risen his average from .188 to .295 in 9 games. I don't think I've ever seen a hitter as hot and cold as Soriano is, but when he's hot, your better off just walking him everytime up.

I'm pretty sure McLouth has owned Marmol this season. I thought D. Lee's was gone, especially with his hop after he hit it.

Not today on the Lee ball. Bay hit two of them that are gone almost any other day at Wrigley, and Soto had one like that too. Wind must have been blowing in today, even the two Soriano homers and one McClouth homer looked to all be headed for the street, but just ended up in the stands (or in McClouth's case, in the basket).

 

I'm pretty sure McLouth has owned Marmol this season.

 

Good call. McLouth has a single, RBI double, solo HR, and two run HR against Marmol this year, now 4 for 4 against him.

So far this year, us Cubs haters have to be thankful they didn't trade for Josh Hamilton or McLouth, two names they were connected to during the offseason.

They'd have never traded for either of them. They were too worried about getting Roberts, who in fact they don't need right now with the great MIF play they've received.

I am currently entrenched in a debate where Cubs fans are insisiting that they ceased support for Sosa because of his roiding. After they realized how silly they sounded they tried to say that Cubdom turned their back on him in 03. I pointed out that Cubs fans were too busy trying to lynch Steve Bartman. Then they went to the "he walked out on the team" excuse. Unfortunately he was never on the field again for them to b**** at him.

 

These people are so cute.

Well that's silly of you to point out - the Bartman thing happened on the 2nd to last day of '03. The idiots who actually blamed Bartman for anything were busy lynching him throughout the off-season and '04.

People with "It's Gonna Happen" posters embarrass the team.
