the best part of the loss is we dont lose any ground in the division.

Randy Williams has no business being on this team. Nothing more really needs to be said. If he stays on the roster, then KW and Ozzie deserve criticism. Also, maybe now that the streak is over, KW and Ozzie will get serious about adding another bat.

It still irks me though. Bringing in Williams is a sign of conceding victory. Threets is here so why not give him a shot? We already know what Williams brings to the table and that's absolutely nothing.

 

And it was 7-3.

What I was implying is that we never scored a 7th run, so the run he gave up was inconsequential. But I understand your point.

 

I'm getting more and more upset as this one sinks in, between Beckham's interference call, Alexei getting called out at first, and the strike on Rios...grrr

He'll be gone as soon as Bobby comes back.

It was a great series and a great last game with two (three?) really bad calls by the umpires. I'll take 4 of 6 from a crappy national league team, but I'd prefer accurate calls and a legitimate chance for Rios in that AB.

I'd prefer a better effort from John Danks and Threets over Williams, but life isn't fair.

Threets is going to be important the next few days with all of KC's lefties.

I don't care how much he costs, I'd be willing to give up my left nut for a 3-4-5-6 of Rios, PK, Prince, and Quentin (if Quentin keeps hitting like he has a pair).

Brewers are looking to compete this season. They're not going to trade Prince unless they start struggling again. Very similar to Cliff Lee.

They need a rotation and with Hart and Weeks going good Prince could be moved for a pitcher.

I think it's the combination of the winning streak coming to an end and it coming at the hands of the lowly Cubs.

 

With this pitching matchup, this is a game where the odds were stacked in our favor, especially after getting the quick 2-0 lead.

 

Johnny just didn't have it today and we let Dempster get in a rhythm after having him on the ropes early.

 

Oh well, you can't win them all.

 

Need to get another winning streak started tomorrow.

 

Anybody who's paid any attention to the Sox over the last 10 years should've expected a loss today. We almost NEVER sweep the Cubs after taking the first two games of a series. It's an automatic loss every single time (save 2008). It really is annoying.

Sox lost ground to the Tigers.

 

Anyway, the umpiring was terrible today and Gary Darling can kiss my ass. Of course Carlos Marmol is unhittable when the umpires call his pitches 8 inches out of the zone strikes.

So then you're trading Danks, Buehrle or Floyd? If they're looking to compete and believe moving Prince for a starter would do that then they're going to look for a guy with some kind of success at the ML level.

I was just pointing out that the Brewers need pitching if they want to get back in it.

Det and Min will battle each other next. Time to start another streak.

Are the Brewers looking for a left nut ?

If they are.. we know who is giving it to em.

Eggsactly

Great point, Marmol was working so fast out there, Rios never did get his composure back. I'm very proud of the 9th inning effort, and we just have to start another win streak tomorrow.

 

 

I'm with you Fathom! That 9th was pretty good until the ump screwed Rios

The MLB umpiring continues to be a joke.

 

1. Alexei was safe, obviously. Can we get replay? Like, now?

2. The Rios strike zone was horses***, obviously. Can we implement the computerized strike zone? Like, now?

3. D. Lee's double was a foul ball, I rewound it several times and there is no doubt in my mind

4. According to my buddy, Gordon hit a ball down the third base line that was called foul but was fair, I didn't see the play so I'm not sure.

5. Alexei being called out at 2nd was incredibly weak. If the umpire got that call right, then the rule needs to be changed. Natural swinging motion shouldn't be interference.

I'm bummed the winning streak is over.

 

BTW, did any one read this.

The amount of Teahen hate is crazy when he was far from the reason that we were doing so badly.

I didn't notice how bad the Cubs D was until today when Aramis took his time getting the ball to 1st and Alexi was safe.

It really is annoying.

 

All losses are annoying. We won 2 of 3 which is good. 3 would have been nirvana. I'll take winning series after series.

We need to beat the teams in our division the rest of the way. If we keep sucking against the ones not named Detroit, we aren't going to win squat.

Let's start a new streak tomorrow!
