Both Chicago teams suck!!!

Is anybody watching or listening to this game. It is a dismal display of leaving guys on base and flaling away at horrible pitches. Has anybody heard of getting a guy in from 3rd base with no outs, or something called a productive out??? I swear to god nobody ever taught anyone on either of these teams any fundamentals.

i agree.....cubs offense is horrific and I partially blame Jim Hendry....he made some terrible offseason moves (Milton Bradley, Aaron "I can't hit for shit" Miles) Soto is in a BIG sophmore slump and needs to go back to the Minors. Sad really, and I dont wanna sound like some bandwagon fan, but I really have gotten tired of backing the cubs (going to games and spending $500) and Ive only been doing it for 25 years!! I feel bad for the 79 year old guy who has been saying it for years that were gonna do it one year before he dies......i dont wanna be that guy 50 years down the road....might just off myself

This has nothing to do with leaving guys on 3rd base with no one out. It is pure fundamentals. All you have to do is make contact and the White Sox were conceding a run. I am not saying that neither team has any talent because they do. I am just saying they are complete idiots that don't understand the game of baseball. The only example of fundamentals that I did see in this game is Danks getting the sacrifice bunt down. That is pathetic.

I don't mean to just bash the Cubs either. It is both teams. White Sox have been doing this all year, I just don't have any examples in this game.

well if the pitcher is pitching a good game and is striking people out, then I would have to say it has a lot to do with leaving guys on 3rd base, lol....

Fair enough, but I still feel as a major league baseball player you should be able to make contact if that is all you are asked.

As I say this the White Sox execute a squeeze.

Meh, they are both good teams playing mediocre ball right now. I don't know about the cubs, but the sox will be much better as the year goes on.

I do agree though about them leaving men in scoring position. I watch a lot of both teams and it gets pretty damn frustrating.

1st and 3rd White Sox. Hey Ron, they are playing the infield back, does that surprise you? Well yea, kind of, definitely, maybe, surprises me.

I kid you not Ron Santo actually just said this word for word.

I though this was covered!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Switch it off, or understand that he i a homer, and get paid for it. He also is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and Cub fans know it and still luv his ass. And not one person in the Cub system cares what you think about him.

you obviously didn't watch the game because Danks was dealing on the mound today.

g/l though

I will say whatever the hell that I want to say and if you don't like it, tough. I listen to him sometimes so I feel like a genius.
