I’m getting a little frustrated with these two players on the Chicago Cubs. Today we lost the series Against the Pittsburgh Pirates. We won the first game but lost the two since. Both lost games (today, and yesterday) where in extra innings so it’s extra stressful for our team, even more so for the bullpen.
Yesterday’s I did not see in it’s entirty, but I heard today that Ryan Theriot (our short stop) made a pretty bad error. I have no idea what it was but oh well.
Today, It was Soriano. He miss a rather routine catch out in Left Field (his neck of the woods). He was not charged with the error, even though I would have charged him with one. That was a bad scoring call in my opinion. He’s a great hitter but as a fielder. Oh my god, I wanna strangle him. So yeah. *sigh*
I’m getting a little frustrated with a couple of the Cubs’ Players. But I’m always happy with the team as a whole, let’s see if we can stop all these little errors.
The good news is St. Louis lost today so we are still in a ‘virtual tie’ for 1st place in the division. Here are the numbers.
Team: Wins-Losses & Percent Wins to losses.
Chicago Cubs 29-21 .580
St. Louis Cardinals 30-22 .577
(This is a “virtual tie” because they have one more win and one more loss. They just have played two games more then we did. The percentages only work out to different numbers because of the win/loss numbers)
However, we no longer are tied for the best record in baseball. Arizona holds that down pretty good now.
Arizona Diamondbacks 30-20 .600 (I actually just looked it up and The Tampa Bay Devil Rays also have the same record… They are now tied for the best record in baseball)
