I can certainly believe they are saying that. Chicago Sports Radio is pathetic. Thats why I very rarely will listen anymore.Granted, he's not having the year most thought he would, but to say they won't miss him, or to say he sucks is just ####### stupid.at Chicago Sports Radio downplaying Soriano's worth to the Cubs. All of a sudden he gets hurt and everybody says he sucks.

First off, doesn't ANYBODY want to win this division??? They lose, we lose. Damn!Ok, Steve Stone said that without Soriano, the Cubs can present a more traditional lineup with Theroit and Fontenot at the top of the order. He also said that losing Soriano wasn't as bad as if you had lost Lee, Ramirez or Zambrano. That I agree with, but you're right, the rest of the radio crews were totally dismissing the loss of Soriano.The part that really stings about the timing of the Soriano loss is that the Cubs road trip takes them to Houston and Colorado, two hitters parks.I just had toI can certainly believe they are saying that.

Gone to AAA. Gallagher recalled.

A starter was not one of the top priorities. It would have been nice to have one, but to get one much better than they have now, they would have had to pay a kings ransom.I believe they have the second lowest ERA in the NL as far as starting pitching is concerned.

If they lose tonight, and it's looking like a good possibility, look no further than the first three innings as the culprit.
They had eight, count them, eight batters, come to the plate with the bases juiced, only to walk away with one ####### run.
Yes, one ####### run! And that run was walked in. 0 for ####### 7. Anemic I tell you, just ####### anemic.
Seven men left on base in the first three innings, they let Williams off the hook big ####### time tonight. The wheels are starting to come loose.
I love the way TheRiot plays the game though. He's the lone bright spot of the night.

Agreed - if they give him time he will perform.Once again, Felix Pie has been promoted to the big league club. No word yet as to who will be sent down.

You wouldn't think that Patterson was going down already, but he looked completely overmatched on a couple of plate appearances last night. He's my guess.jagbag said:Once again, Felix Pie has been promoted to the big league club. No word yet as to who will be sent down.

I wish Lou would stick him in the lineup and leave him there.Maybe then, his bat will come around as well.

How did things get so ugly so fast?
At least the Brewers are imploding also, but I'm still
I didn't get a chance to see the game tonight. I should count my blessings by the looks of it.A couple of observations by looking at the box score:1) Another good game by TheRiot.
2) WTF is Lou thinking by batting Jacque Jones second in the order? I know we are a bit banged up, but no way in ####### hell should he ever bat second, EVER. I know Lou probably thinks he can see more fastballs in the two hole but he's not a two hole hitter, even if he did get two hits. I would prefer DeRosa in this spot, he's a good handler of the bat.
3) Play Pie for crying out loud.
4) Pitching sucked ###.
5) Not enough timely hitting. Way to many runners LOB (13)
We are very fortunate to be where we are, but now we have to look below us as well.
The Cards are only five behind us, and the Astros 7.5.
We are really screwing up in the wild card race, now three back but tied for FIFTH.
It's beginning to look like we have to win the division.

That is true, but most people know that that Cardinals team was better than their regular season record indicated. Injuries killed them all year, but they were almost completely healthy in the playoffs, and look what happened.

Actually, the Cubs have shown what they can do when healthy and playing together. So I would never count them out for this year. That being said, this is a horrible stretch and they have to right the ship or who gives a crap how well they play together, unless it's golf come October.

True, but despite their recent stretch, they are still even with Milwaukee in the loss column, so the division is still theirs for the taking. And like recent years have shown, any team can get hot in October and win it all. Even though I am a Cardinals fan, I would rather see the Cubs win the division than the Brewers. The Cubs would be a good October story, as always. The Brewers would be a boring story.yeah, yeah.

I cannot believe that the Cards are 5.5 back. Strap it on Cub fans- looks like a photo finish is on the way...

Cub fans, I'm off on vacation Sat. morning, so get the Cubs back and rolling again and keep them rolling. I won't have much access to TV or radio
while I'm gone, so it's gonna be a long week.
Good luck with the 's starting to invade while we are down. A few wins should keep them quiet.
Have a good week.
