Cubs @ Braves 4/8/10 6:10 PM CSN/MLB Network

[SportsWorld]

The Cubs have not manufactured a run via a non-homer base hit in 28 innings. All hail Rudy!

Way to be reactionary. Like I said, Rammy, Byrd, Fuku have all hit better, Lee's typically a slow starter, Sori hasn't been bad with 2 hits yesterday, don't know about Soto, I think he'll be better, Baker should be starting not Rudy's fault, and Theriot should not be a starting short on a good team.

Byrd has hit better? He's 1-7 on the season thus far.

Am I the only one watching this game on Comcast?

Did hit that big homer on opening when everyone else sucked with exception of Rammy, Fuku. + Whole lineup has been much more patient and put together good at-bats which will pay off at some point.

[cold5]

Colvin! What a shot.

[SportsWorld]

Tyler Colvin needs to play

[Posey H8er]

Yes! Love me some Colvin.

Did you just hear Len mention Rich Harden's line for lastnight's game?

3 2/3 innings, one hit, three runs, one earned with eight strikeouts. 96 pitches.

I guess some things never change. This dude always pitches weird games.

[cold5]

Tyler Colvin needs to play

Just play him off hot hand, lots of pinch hitting, or perhaps get him time then flip him and someone else for a 2B to a team who needs an OF.

[SportsWorld]

We need more runs but we're making Tommy Hanson work through 2 innings. That's all you can ask for.

[Godzilla039]

Yes! Love me some Colvin.

The force with this one is strong.

[cold5]

We need more runs but we're making Tommy Hanson work through 2 innings. That's all you can ask for.

And who perhaps could be helping with that other than the much-maligned on your part Rudy? We've made all of the Braves starters work so far and like I said eventually that will pay off if we can get a good leadoff man and Lee starts to heat up.

[SportsWorld]

Well that was scary. Let's tack on to our lead.

[SportsWorld]

Theriot moves to 0-11 on the season.

[Posey H8er]

Derrick Lee warning track power.

[SportsWorld]

This offense is pathetic. Wells with a leadoff walk and the top of the Cubs order does jacks***. I'm off to watch another pathetic offense in the Bulls.

Reactionary.

[SportsWorld]

Reactionary? Here's how we scored our runs this season:
Byrd 3 run homer
Aramis 2 run homer
Glaus error
Theriot sac fly
Colvin solo homer

Teams that manufacture runs this way aren't going to win very many games.

[Posey H8er]

What a play by Colvin to stop that ball. A slower baserunner doesn't get a double there.

[GYBE]

Atlanta is a good team. I definitely think they could make the playoffs. I kinda agree with cold5. I'm not sure we'll be any good, but we need more evidence.

[Posey H8er]

Terrible throw. Theriot could have scooped that up though.
