4/11, Cubs/Reds, Cy Rusch/Arroyo, CSN 1:20

[FadeToBolivia]

Thanks to you both.

Jones pulled a neck muscle from looking up so much.

 

Put him on the 60 day DL.

Rats...Arroyo is pitching. I was hoping this was all part of Dusty's plan...let them get a huge lead, then there's no reason to keep your starter in there any longer, keep the load light on him. Unfortunately, he didn't realize that Cincy's manager is like him, he'd rather let his starter throw 130 pitches with a 9 run lead.

 

Edit: I meant Arroyo is hitting...

6 HR in one day. I saw 7 hit by the Dodgers against Anthony Young one spring day at Wrigley about 9 or 10 years ago...[/quot

Most HR's given up by the CUBS since 09 Sept 2000 vs. Houston.

Why can't the Cubs consistently beat bad teams?

Our manager doesn't get the team up for it? Who knows really?

[LoneStarCubFan]

Told you four runs wouldn't win this game.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

So Rusch gives up 4 ER in 5 innings...and actually lowers his ERA. Well done, G-Unit.

[Flames24Rulz]

Freel walks.

I'm pretty sure I watched that one. It wasn't a good day.

[Banedon]

Walker-Lee-ARam due up. How about 3 in the 6th, 3 in the 7th, 3 in the 8th, and a walkoff in the 9th?

 

on the other hand, 2 out of 3 isn't so bad..

[Derwood]

on a side note, how does one get a job sitting at Wrigley and updating the play-by-play on Gamecast? sign me up

[Vinestal]

I dont guess it matters how many runs you give up if you cant score any. A loss is a loss

1 out of 3 is, and I guarantee we don't win more than that.

I've been quietly working towards that job for years.

trying to be optimistic :) but if the wind is blowing out when Mad Dog is pitching, I think we'll probably lose that one too.

i bet it pays in warm beer and stale nachos

[Derwood]

arroyo can afford to just throw strikes now, so i hope the cubs are ready to swing

[Flames24Rulz]

Walker flies out to center.

[Andy]

Raise your hand if you're not jealous of UMFan83 for going to Wrigley today.

 

*raises hand*

[Derwood]

garbage time HR for Lee now?
