Once again Lou has mismanaged this game. Why is Grabow not out there to start the 9th? The Sunday loss in on Lou for throwing Gregg out there a 36 pitch bad...
I've never been so angry after a win. I am more pissed off after this game than I was after that BS loss yesterday. Why does Lou do the doubleswitch in the...
chris it all has to do righty lefty b.s...Did'nt u see him come out to pool Marmol and did'nt cause the batter wasnt anounced..Even though Marmol is falling...
Your not missing anything Chris. Lou is not the manager he was. This is something Hendry must address. D ... From: Chris Lohroff To: cubscoven@yahoogroups.com ...
Well there must be something we aren't aware of... that's the only sense I can make of this situation. It sure looked like Lou intended to leave Grabow in....
It could have been a sort of a test for marmol to see if he's ready to take the closer role. I believe that lou doesn't have confidence in Gregg and was giving...
I'm not condoning the moves Lou has made, but I will say the guy is in a pretty crappy situation. All first half of the season, the offense struggled but the...
Well I agree there wasn't a great option, but I think there were better options. It seemed to me that Lou really wasn't sure what to do last night. When he...
The Mets did us no favors last night. You'd think that scoring 7 runs with Santana on the mound would be good enough. Apparently not. How about Gorzelanny...

I envy your ability to see Cub games on tv. I have to rely on Game Channel, not merely because I live on the West Coast and only get WGN or the ocassional...
My understanding is that all of the gameday information is now collected electronically. So even if something isn't calibrated correctly, at least it should...
Whew. If the season ended on July 31 that would have been one hell of a ride. Unfortunately, no one told the Cubs that the season doesn't end until October....
It sure looks like this teams lives and dies with Ramirez. If he ends up on the DL again I think we're sunk. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
... I think that we are sunk regardless. With Zambrano possibly on the DL and Lilly hurting, the Cubs rotation advantage is gone and St. Louis loaded up with...
The Cubs just managed to lose a game in which they gave up 3 hits in 12 innings...that's a team that can find a way to lose despite the odds. I have probably...
and they lost last night on 17 hits... or something like that... i'm not even going to bother to look it up. I've officially given up hope. I will continue to...
We have one of the worst defenses in the national league, great starting pitching, a shaky late inning bullpen but a great middle inning one, and absolutely...
So it is my understanding that it's August 12th and you guys are throwing in the towel after a bad stretch? So Diehard doesn't apply any more I guess! I hold...
... It's not a "bad stretch". It's been a season full of bad stretches. It apparent to me that this lineup without Ramirez isn't capable of consistently...
Thanks for the comments. I can understand the frustration some fans are having, but I am a loyal fan, and will support this team. I supported the team through...
Who said they weren't going to support this team? I don't understand why people think that whenever they say something bad about the Cubs that they aren't...
I can only speak for myself. Its just the barrage of daily I wont watch this team anymore, this team sucks, Hendry sucks, Lou sucks, every player on the team...
... Yeah, I tuned in in the bottom of the 4th, with one out - so 3-1/3 innings into the game. At first I was excited the Cubs were up by 2. Then I looked and...
... I'll take it one step further. This lineup EVEN WITH RAMIREZ is not going to score runs - again, unless they start hitting with RISP. They are hitting...
... Disagree. The Cubs don't need a spark. They need to F-ing concentrate with RISP. They need to stop walking in runs, and giving up late-inning homeruns....
Relax, this is just a continuation of a relevant topic from this year. What do we do at closer next year? Do you resign Gregg even though he has a propensity...
