[cheapseats]

Perez walked (intentionally) :shock:

 

A future trivia question if ever there was one.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Poor Z won't get the decision.

[Shavo]

NOT MABRY!

[BigSlick]

[Rob]

Perez walked (intentionally) :shock:

 

I know, I almost messed myself I was laughing so hard...

[minnesotacubsfan]

ok...so the Padres are TRYING to loose, the walk perez to get to Z????

[CubsInNC]

Make that 5 career walks for Neifi against Park....

[Chris]

wtg Astros

[Fred Hornkohl]

Mabry, pinch hitting for Zambrano, walked, Perez to second

[cheapseats]

Poor Z won't get the decision.

 

It's a shame, but it is the right move. He was starting to look a little fatigued, and when pitchers get tired, they start to lose their mechanics and hurt themselves.

 

Dusty has four good choices in the pen right now. We should be fine.

[Chris]

Let's go Pierre

[BigbadB]

It's all about Juan Pierre right now!

[Brian]

time for da pierre flare.

[sunnydoo]

DBACKS WIN!!!!

 

 

We can gain on everyone cept the Cards....LETS GO CUBS!!!!!!!!

[sweetpeteman]

luckily we can go to the pen nowadays without worry. Scoring is the issue

 

 

 

I predict a first pitch out.

[Rob]

So Park finally broke the 100 pitch plateau there...

 

We draw a card against one of the pitchers with the worst control in the league, and it takes us 8 innings to get him to 100 pitches.

[Fred Hornkohl]

The bad news is..... Pierre drives in 7.7% of the runners on base.

[Shavo]

OMG NOT PIERRE WITH THE BASES LOADED

 

grounding out to second is in the near future for the Cubs.

[cheapseats]

Poor Z won't get the decision.

 

if they score here he would ...

 

Wouldn't whoever pitches the 8th get the win?

[Guancous]

I'm calling that Park walks in the run.

[BigbadB]

Park looks pretty tired.

[Rob]

Poor Z won't get the decision.

 

if they score here he would ...

 

Wouldn't whoever pitches the 8th get the win?

 

Nope, but they could get a hold, save, blown save, or loss... but technically the only way for them to get the win in a game where they came in with a lead would be to blow the save first and then still be in when we score another run.

 

Edit:

 

Now that they've actually entered in a tie game, they could get the win.
