Really???

That pretty much sums up the Cubs’ day.

The usually sure thing Marmol came in and here is how he did:

  • With one man on, 5 pitch walk
  • Sac bunt, men on 2nd and 3rd. One out
  • Intentionally walks Chad Tracy. Bases loaded
  • Walk. Run scores. Bases loaded
  • 4 pitch walk. Another run scores. Bases STILL loaded.

Then after that the Shark came and and served up a double clearing the bases. I am truly sickened by the display today. It’s one thing to have a team beat you by smacking the ball all over the place, but walking them on is just asking for a punishment. 10 walks. Good lord.

Demp. has been off all year, ever since the playoff game he walks people constantly. The bullpen is the worst though, last time I checked the bullpen walked more than the starters. Which is just pitiful.

Now on too the batters. What happened? yesterday you guys explode for 11 runs, today you get two hits. What gives? Soto is still cold as ice and apparently the rest of the team is following suit.

Preview and my bullpen solution later. Not too happy right now :P

Jake “Big Bat” Fox

08BB04-27 020Fox.jpg

Jake Fox continues to bash, smash, thrash, and whatever else you want to call it. Fox is batting .446 with 12 HRs and 31 RBIs in 19 GAMES. Not to mention 5 in his last 5 games.

He is treating the AAA pitching like they are little leagers and if I’m not mistaken he knows how to play LF, RF, C, and 3b.

Ummmmm….don’t we need someone to back up those spots?

“Oh we got Fontenot”

No, I have watched him miss 3 balls at 3rd base the past two days. Fox probably isn’t the greatest 3rd basemen but he least he has actually played that position. Plus he can back up Bradley in RF also.

It would also be nice to call him up and ride this amazing hot streak hes on. Plus we don’t really need Gathright he plays all 3 OF positions, yes, but so does Reed Johnson. Only difference is Reed is a little slower and can hit.

So please, please call up Jake Fox. We need some more pop in our lineup with the absence of A-Ram and Lee and with Bradley and Soto hurting.
