My brother, a Cubs fan, who watched the game, says the play at the plate was a clean play.

As a Cubs fan, I have only one comment - Fire Dusty Baker NOW! Not next week, not at the end of the season, but BEFORE TOMORROW'S GAME.

I suspect (hoping) the Tigers will be tied with the Sox after tonights game. Nothing like a good rivalry to bring out the bench clearers.

Barrett is frustrated, just like most Cub fans.

This Cub fan is about finished with them for the year. I know that's not very "die-hard" of me, but frankly until this team shows some fight and heart, they aren't going to do much in the way of winning.

The problem lies with management and management alone. One can argue about injuries and the pitching staff, but if a team can't score more than a couple runs per game, they aren't going to win. I place the blame squarely on the shoulders of Dusty Baker.

I agree. Fire him now.

Even the L.A. Clippers are in the NBA playoffs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers won a SB. That leaves the Cubs and the Detroit Lions as the ultimate losers.

I'm surprised ESPN took the time off from hyping Barry Bonds to report on this game.

I think this is probably more frustration than anything else. Cubs have not been playing well this year. BTW, as a braves fan I have to say thank you to the yankees. LOL!

No kidding. That's the most irritating thing about baseball reporting. It's all Bonds, Yankees and Red Sox. If Bonds wasn't hitting at least he would disapear but the Sox and Yankees would still be headliners no matter how poorly they do.

I was at the game and almost got in a fight with some angry Cub fans myself. They didn't like me standing up cheering during the 9th inning with two outs, they just don't enjoy losing I guess.

I got a sunburn and a White Sox winner!

I know people would like to get back at A. J. Pierzynski but don't you think throwing a sucker punch like that is not a good idea?
