1. These Guys Suck Posted: August 24, 2011 at 12:21 AM (#3907295)

Yea! More runners left on base!

2. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: August 24, 2011 at 01:04 AM (#3907346)

Well that was inevitable.

3. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: August 24, 2011 at 01:05 AM (#3907348)

That's what you get for walking ALEX GONZALEZ with the bases loaded.

I will never complain about Quade not starting the kids if the kids means watching Casey Coleman start games.

4. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: August 24, 2011 at 01:40 AM (#3907390)

Why do you even pitch to Ramirez with a base open, two outs, and JEFF BAKER on deck?

5. SteveM. Posted: August 24, 2011 at 01:42 AM (#3907394)

Why is Jeff Baker still on this team? And why is Pena in the lineup against a lefty

6. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: August 24, 2011 at 01:46 AM (#3907404)

John Grabow is definitely the guy you put in after your team rallies for four runs in an inning.

7. SteveM. Posted: August 24, 2011 at 01:58 AM (#3907432)

Guys I don't want to see in a Cubs uniform next year:
Pena
Baker
Grabow
Soriano
Byrd
Rodrigo Lopez
Casey Coleman (at least in the rotation)

8. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:00 AM (#3907439)

You forgot Quade.

9. SteveM. Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:05 AM (#3907453)

Good point! Plus, most of the coaching staff.

10. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:10 AM (#3907460)

Echoing what you said yesterday: Wood has been incredible lately.

11. These Guys Suck Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:22 AM (#3907483)

Eat a dick, Pena.

12. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:23 AM (#3907485)

Who didn't see that coming?

13. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:24 AM (#3907488)

I have even less faith in Byrd to get the job done than I did Pena.

14. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:25 AM (#3907490)

Pathetic.

15. SteveM. Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:26 AM (#3907494)

I ####### hate Carlos Pena. $10 million for a guy who strikes out seemingly once a game and has never adjusted to the shift? Let someone else overpay him next year.

16. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:27 AM (#3907496)

I don't mind the strikeouts on the whole. It's the fact that it's a given he will strike out against lefties.

I'm also really tired of Byrd. I love his hustle and he seems like a great guy. But talk about your empty .300 hitter.

17. SteveM. Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:30 AM (#3907498)

Chipper was kinda lollygagging on that play.

18. SteveM. Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:31 AM (#3907499)

Okay-that was one of the reasons why Castro should remain a shortstop. What a great play.

19. These Guys Suck Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:33 AM (#3907505)

Nice AB, Soriano.

20. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:53 AM (#3907542)

This game was over when Pena and Byrd #### the bed with the bases loaded.

21. SteveM. Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:57 AM (#3907546)

Pinch run Campy!!

22. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:59 AM (#3907548)

Colvin never stood a chance.

23. SteveM. Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:59 AM (#3907549)

This team ####### sucks.

24. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:59 AM (#3907551)

Carlos Pena left seven men on base tonight.

25. SteveM. Posted: August 24, 2011 at 02:59 AM (#3907552)

And for the record-the Braves bullpen is awesome.
