Key AB by Pagan. Maybe the 2nd best hitter in the lineup at the point, 1st and 2nd w/ 2 out.

Fuck, this may be a pitcharound to face Castillo. I have a tough time believing a guy with Wells' control will throw four straight balls.

 

[Sharp]

Nice, we got five innings from Stammen. Every other time this season we've gotten five innings from our starter, we've won the game, so this is a promising development.

 

[The Frankman]

Luis Castillo Is Also Baseball Person.

 

[CajoleJuice]

:lol Castillo

Even when he does something good, it's still pathetic.

 

[Y2Kev]

Cubs are, and this is hard to believe, even worse than the mets.

 

[Mrbob]

Welp this game is over. About to lose 3 straight, two to houston and now one to the Mets. Can't get much lower than this. Blow the team up season is done.

 

[nocode]

Fact: throw wright a breaking ball low and away and he will swing at every pitch until he strikes out

 

[NewLib]

Wright swung at 4 balls.

 

[LJ11]

Flailing like a girl, awful.

 

[CajoleJuice]

And Jesus Christ, Wright, do something with someone in scoring position.

 

[The Frankman]

I can't understand why Wright would be swinging early in the count anyway, did he not just see the walk to Pagan and Wells almost walk Castillo? What, he thought "Bases loaded, I'll probably get a fastball up the middle! YEAH!"

 

[The Frankman]

Scott Proctor wishes he had Fernando Nieve's arm. Proctor might still be relevant. Also my God who is the Cubs' hitting coach? Cubs plate discipline for everyone except Derrek Lee sucks.

 

[Y2Kev]

Niese at 113

NIEVE!!

 

[CajoleJuice]

Ike Davis is no Keith Hernandez.

 

[LJ11]

Seems like Niese manages to get bad breaks/luck every time he's pitched. Guess it balances out with some of the hangers he gets away with at times.

 

[The Frankman]

Ike Davis Is Not Yet Baseball Person.

 

[The Frankman]

Dammit Castillo would've had it if that didn't touch Nieve.

 

[Doytch]

JoBau beasting all over the Royals. Mendoza sucks balls, but still, two jacks and five ribbies.

 

[Y2Kev]

Okay, my fellow Red Sox spodaddies who have all pretty much disappeared, y'all need to get your team in line. Not right now, but by next time you face the Rays you can't get rolled. It means we have to work harder. To help you, the Yankees will give you on loan Brett Gardner

 

[h3ro]

We can loan a game used Cody Ransom glove as well.

 

[Doytch]

Can the Jays pitch in and donate Lyle Overbay? He'll fit in with the run prevention philosophy. His defense is highly praised. He's also a quintessential white person who's walk-up music is Pearl Jam.

Luis Mendoza is one ugly motherfucker.

 

[The Frankman]

I'd be stunned if Jose tried to steal against a lefty. He just doesn't have anywhere close to his speed back.

EDIT: Gary Matthews Jr. Is Nowhere Close To Being Baseball Person.

 

[sf2fanatic]

:lol :lol @ matthews still cant hit


EdIT: Pagan hell yeah keep my stats up..Fantasy Baseball.

 

[Y2Kev]

Can't spell Cubsmh without smh

 

[The Frankman]

ANGEL PAGAN IS BASEBALL PERSON.

Hey Gary say goodbye to your push. :lol

 

[NewLib]

Fuck I love Pagan. Im kind of sad when Beltran comes back we wont be starting anymore.

 

[eznark]

:lol :lol :lol

Back, Back, Back...Pa GONE!

 

[The Frankman]

Did Keith just call Russell a loser? :lol :lol

 

[Jazzy Network]

Samardzija go back to football.

 

[CajoleJuice]

Jesus, I take a shower and Angel Pagan hits a HR?!?

 

[The Frankman]

BAY!!

 

[Jazzy Network]

Jesus, I take a shower and Angel Pagan hits a HR?!?

Take more showers.

 

[eznark]

Did Keith just call Russell a loser? :lol :lol

The Mets crew has been absolutely tearing the shit out of the Cubs.

"Lifeless," "spaced out," "playing like the don't care"

Merciless comments for this early in the season. Funny shit though! I'm goin to have to turn on Santo and listen to that idiot cry for a few innings.

Smardjzajsedasfa sucks

 

[nocode]

There it is Bay! Get that poison out of your system! First hr finally!

 

[Y2Kev]

Samardzija go back to football.

dude is AWFUL. the dream is DEAD.

 

[CajoleJuice]

Take more showers.

 

[mernst23]

Going to be a long summer of Chicago baseball. Wonder how many fights are going to happen at crosstown this year between two mediocre teams with fans angry about their mediocrity?

 

[eznark]

Davis is bailing out against a curve like a fucking pussy. Jesus, dude.

Redeemed! Way to go cracka! Omar will gladly trade you for some flavor later in the season. Ike Davis for Carlos Gomez, straight up.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Davis > Jacobs after 1 game.

 

[CajoleJuice]

Wow, Cubs. :lol

 

[The Frankman]

Oh my God the Cubs are self-destructing. Cubs bullpen is horrible.

 

[eznark]

Even Francoeur is laughing at you Chicago

 

[NewLib]

If Soriano was on my team, he would piss me off to no end. The dude just doesnt try hard ever. He should have had a triple earlier and he didnt even try to go after that Bay hit.

 

[Windu]

I thought the Cubs would actually get off to a hot start considering the first team that they play after they opened the season with the Braves that had a record higher than .500 in 2009 is the Marlins on..May 10th. Obviously teams like the Mets etc.. are going to be better this year, but still..

In good news Cub fans, 2015 is only 5 years away.

edit: Is Ike Davis going to stay up once Murphy comes back? If so, does that mean we get to see more Murphails in LF?

edit: heh forgot Bay is out there. Where is Murphy going to play if Ike stays up? Platoon?

 

[Sharp]

Nationals win, back over .500!

Cubs :lol

 

[Doytch]

Mark Reynolds is awesome.

 

[eznark]

Who the fuck is Keith Moreland and why is Ron Santo not on WGN radio right now. This is an outrage!

 

[mernst23]

Who the fuck is Keith Moreland and why is Ron Santo not on WGN radio right now. This is an outrage!

Nothing like a good Ron Santo meltdown to make the game complete.

 

[hiryu2015]

the mets bullpen is 'bout due for a meltdown tonight as well right? right??

edit: wait these are the cubs
