This is the trade off we have to live with regarding Diaz. He's a minor league shortstop with a big league bat.

I think he can be better, but it's going to take time.

Agreed. Just gotta live with some mistakes for the time being. Sucks that tonight's mistake was the difference in the game.

Don't think he cares about the boos now guys...

[dmarx114]

That's like 10 hard hit balls in a row.

[Pudgelewis]

As long as we don't score a run that error doesn't matter, right?

Doubt it...bet a Benjamin those runs don't matter. Bet we don't score a run and fowler's HR is the diff.

Sucks because the Cubs look like ass; we just look worse.

Maddon has a reliever going with a 4-0 lead. He's always going to be 2 steps ahead of Matheny.

Jesus guys...lackey is nowhere near the plate damn near all night and we keep swinging away

[Felix The Cat]

Lackey has them all fooled tonight.

[dmarx114]

2-0 change up.....filthy.

[cardsfantx]

Lackey has them all fooled tonight.

Which is amazing, when he's not near the plate...all night long and they keep swinging. We could have 10 walks if we just wouldn't swing.
