4/26 Marlins (Olsen) @ Cubs (Guzman) 1:20 PM WGN TV

Since when do you get rid of your good defensive players late in games?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Olivo, pinch hitting for Nolasco, flied out to center flied, Aguila scored

[Chris]

Dusty said on cubs.com that he does the double-switch due to things not in this game. Not sure what he was seeing today.

[KatJ]

Our pen sure gave those runs back and then some in a hurry.

[LoneStarCubFan]

There is NO GD REASON to double switch there. Everbody in the park knows Dusty won't use Howry for more than one inning anyway.

 

And the third walk scores too. 6-3 now.

 

Quality work today Dusty, quality work. With no double switch they at worst get out of the inning with one run scoring. Idiot.

[Blueheart05]

ALL of Williamson's walks come home! His ERA is blown up now.

Watch the language.

[BeerHere]

Howry is a little off in each of his last 2 outings

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Williamson has a 5.19 ERA...why are you down on him? (present situation not withstanding)

 

Fixed. :cry:

[C.C.]

Doesn't look good folks. Well at least we took 2/3.

[Butterscup1679666578]

And the Cubs still haven't won on my birthday since 2001. Man oh man.

I'm going to try and have some perspective on this even though I'm pissed off. Even the GREATEST pens blow a game here or there. This is the first game that I remember ou pen blowing. It happens.

[BeerHere]

Williamson walks the bases loaded without getting a single out. All score.

 

nice

Thanks Dusty.

 

I'd rather thank Williamson. He's a little more to blame than Dusty for this one.

[Blueheart05]

Howry's been giving up too many hits lately.

 

Most outfielders would have caught the ball to RF which would have made the out to Pierre the 3rd in the inning.

[LoneStarCubFan]

Howry is a little off in each of his last 2 outings

 

How so? He got two fly ball outs. It's not his fault The Village Idiot took out a better fielder in RF.

 

Howry gets out of that inning with, at worst, one run scoring if Jones stays in the game.

[C.C.]

B.Arroyo is 4-0 now with the Reds. Nice pick up in the early season.

But a run would have score on the first flyout either way

Yeah, I didn't see the play, and posted that before I saw all the "lost in the sun" stuff.

[LoneStarCubFan]

This one's on Dusty if they end up losing.

Can't blame Howry for that. He did his job. It should be 4-3 heading into the bottom of the 8th.

Howry needed to induce a groundball. Instead, he's given up to fly balls.

The Cubs have never won on my birthday.

 

Ok, it's October 28.

[KatJ]

True, but a ugly loss to remember over an off day is not they way I would have this team start the Brewers series. :-(
