Bad move by Dale Sveum to call to the bullpen now. I feel this is it in tonight's game. No redbirds batters hit hard tonight against Germano. No reason to chance him now.

With our offense, that one run may do it. Of course the Cards could add on here.

See? Dale Sveum does not have the intelligence to manage the game. He's just a good hitting coach at best. 1-0 Redbirds.

Damn, the Cubs just blowed up. Lol

It's really sad for Cubs fans that our manager can't read the game at all. Dale Sveum is no manager. He's at best is a good hitting coach. He does not know how to manage the game. This game is on him. 3-0 redbirds.

And unfortunately for Germano, who pitched well, he'll get the loss if the Cubs lose, I believe, since that first run was charged to him.

4-0 redbirds. It's very funny to see redbirds hitters hit very hard multiple extra base hits as soon as Dale Sveum pulled Germano whom they never hit hard at all tonight. And we have no bullpen pitcher ready to escape here. Great management, Dale.

Yep, unfortunately that will be the case, and he deserved better than that.

Germano looked good tonight. He's poised and threw strikes. He can be an okay 5th starter.

8-0 redbirds. Great manage, Dale.

You got that right.

Wow Russell and the gang can't get anybody out. I agree about Germano.

This game is out of control. Looks like the offense didn't show up either.

GO CUBS 2012!!!!

This would be fun to watch...if it was the Cubs doing the hitting instead of being shellacked.

Oh well...

Too bad there's not a mercy rule in MLB!!

This is beyond pathetic, its perhap the worst inept display of pitching I've ever seen.

I woundn't even mind if the Cubs were at least making a game of it, but the offense took the night off and went somewhere else.

GO CUBS 2012!!!!!

That was some bottom half of an inning. Stat line could be 3 games worth.

Well done guys, you only gave up 12 that inning.

Am I missing something when it comes to Dolis? Do Cubs mgmt think he has potential?
