One run in two games at the Yellowstone CitiField.  They should do better than that.  But sadly, they don't.

Telling myself that the Deadbirds scored only one run in 20 innings against this Mets team isn't helping...
Those Cardinals aren't red, they're yellow.  Like the Spanish!

Anyone reminded of the stretch in 2005, I think on the west coast, when the Cubs barely scored a run for what seemed like two weeks? I remember trying to watch those late games but just getting stoned to bejesus instead and falling asleep on the couch. Miserable.

Oh god. I hope this 2008-2009-2010 stretch isn't 2003-2004-2005 all over again. Because then 2011 is gonna be just as awful.

But to be honest, I have no clear memories from late 2004-early 2007. My brain has suppressed something like 90% of the horror of those days.

I don't see that stretch, but there's one in 2006, May 3-11 to be exact, that they lost 8 out of 9 and scored 20 runs total (8 in one game). They also fell below .500 during it and stayed that way.

No. The 2003-2006 stretch is repeated 2007-2010. Which means it's gonna hai in 2011 or 2012.

Cue the devastating injury to Derrek Lee in...

If our bullpen didn't suck, we wouldn't need this thread.

You don't remember WGN coming back from commercial in the early innings of games pitched by Kerry Wood/Mark Prior, only to discover that Glendon Rusch was the new pitcher on the mound?

You lucky fucking bastard.

If the Cubs keep averaging 1.2 runs a game like they have in the past week-or-so, the bullpen could be tits and people'd still be raging in this thread.

Yes, that is exactly the one I was talking about - thank you.

I remember that stretch too well...definitely a few good starts got spoiled.
