2010 Chicago Cubs Thread

[gregman]

After a rough start they're righting the ship and bringing it back to .500. There's a lot of depth on this team. I don't think injuries will hurt us as bad as they did last year. If the pitchers can keep it up then we definitely can be one of the best teams in the NL.

Sad that Mojo isn't here to see this glorious event...

Made more sad by the fact that it will never happen ..

[Adolf]

Eddie locked up another century of futility with this monstrosity.

Indeed.

[Ritalin]

Yeah, where the hell did Mojo go to?

the bastard people drove him away.

i wish he was around for the ryan howard discussion. he'd love that.

[Suspect Chin]

Saddest part is how well Kevin Gregg is pitching for the Blue Jays.

No, that dirtbag had to go.

Plus, that is offset by Carlos Silva. The only way he could work out better is if he beaned Milton Bradley.

Dirtbag accepted and appreciated!

U guys want Frasor?

Of course I agree he had to go, but I still hate to see him do well elsewhere.

[Suspect Chin]

Please don't let us get swept by the Pirates.

[Pittsburgh]

Hey, I heard that.

[Suspect Chin]

Hey, I heard that.

You guys stick to hockey and let us keep baseball.

[Pittsburgh]

11 To 1? Not a hockey score. SWEEP!

[Suspect Chin]

Fucking embarrassing. Is it too early for Lou to kick dirt on an ump and kickstart this team?

[goreds2]

Wow, the Reds get beat by the Cubs Friday night 14-7. Tonight, the Reds return the favor by defeating the Cubs 14-2. A great matchup this afternoon, Leake vs Dempster.

11 runs in 2 innings took it from being 3-2 to 14-2 in no time.

[goreds2]

Reds take 2 of 3 from the Cubs......

Shocking that Sweet Lou did not remove Dempster upon Votto coming to bat.

[epo]

Let's face it, Pinella is horrible with pitching. Thank God that Mojo isn't here to complain about Lou.

[Suspect Chin]

We dumped the guy we thought was the absolute worst with handling relief pitching to the reds, but obviously that didn't work out at least for this series.

[Suspect Chin]

This team is fucking infuriating.

[Ritalin]

Carlos Silva - 8-0.

Best trade ever.

[Suspect Chin]

Pinella (http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/cubs/post/_/id/1613/look-for-piniella-to-land-as-a-consultant) to retire at the end of the season.

It's probably time for a change. I'd like to see Ryne Sandburg get a chance.

[K.C.]

Man, the Cubs are FUCKED.

$101 million committed to Soriano, Zambrano, Ramirez, Fukudome, Dempster, Silva, Byrd, Samardzjia, and Grabow next year.

That's before they settled their arbitration and club-contract issues.

Even if they wanted to spend up to 140 million again, after Lee, who they won't outbid the Yankees for, the drop off in starting pitching is gigantic.

Soriano and Zambrano contracts are two of the worst in baseball.

I have it on good authority Mojo takes balls everywhere including at home.

I was at the game today. Cubs fans couldn't have cared less that he left. Barely an ovation when he came out to make a pitching change. I felt like I was watching a Rays game with the apathy shown at the ass kicking the Braves gave.

I guess Lee Elia was right.

I guarantee Lou's poor mother would be suffering alone if the Cubs weren't 20 games out.
