[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez struck out swinging

[cubbyvirus00]

Arroyo going to throw a no hitter

[Blueheart05]

Arroyo is looking like Cy Young. Get this guy!

[BWcubs21]

Aram K's swinging

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Geez. Patience plz.

[rawaction]

Looks like Aramis went fishing in that AB, and fouled off the only pitch he got to hit.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Come on Cubs, Arroyo is a fly ball pitcher!

[CubinNY]

This will be a good test to see if we can overcome the crap that has gone on the last couple of years. Different conditions blah blah blah, lets get some runs.........

 

Exactly. Getting beat two out of three here would make the sweep seem like a season ago.

I'm not worried about ARam, he's a slow starter.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barrett popped out to second base

[erik316wttn]

Jones up.

 

Come on, Jacques. Keep the hotness going.

[rocket]

brenneman keeps calling jacque jones "jack jones"

[BeerHere]

Arroyo = not this good

 

Cubs are over-anxious and swinging for the fences.

[Blueheart05]

Jones lines out to Kearns

[Fred Hornkohl]

[erik316wttn]

That was the hardest hit ball so far today by a Cub.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

How many home runs will Rusch give up this half inning?

 

I guess 2.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Who's going to homer in the top of the 3rd?

[rawaction]

Who's going to homer in the top of the 3rd?

 

Griffey again, with Freel on after a bunt single or walk.

[BeerHere]

After Sunday, Jones gets "small" reprieve from me. He's getting better contact and not swinging at the high heat. Need a more consistent approach at the plate.

[BWcubs21]

The Cubs need to start hitting balls to left field, I need a good laugh with the way Rusch is pitching.

[badger1679666666]

Who's going to homer in the top of the 3rd?

 

Arroyo again off Rusch.

[BeerHere]

Freel annoys me

[Chocolate Milk]

Who's going to homer in the top of the 3rd?

 

Arroyo again off Rusch.

 

OMG hahahahaha
