5/9 Cubs (Hill) @ San Fran. (Schmidt) 9:15 WGN/INHD/XM189

[Outshined_One]

That's right kids, a starter CAN get by on only two pitches!

[Banedon]

Hey.....is Dusty fired yet??

[Jon]

To quote Tom Servo from the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode "Here Comes the Circus"

 

LET THE NIGHTMARE BEGIN!

Beats Mike saying "The Cubs don't win the pennant! The Cubs don't win the pennant!"

 

Hey, made it to the outfield grass!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre popped out to second base

[Flames24Rulz]

well if he can't ground out to 2nd, he has to pop out to 2nd.

[Outshined_One]

What'll be the excuse after the Cubs lose today?

 

"You gotta tip your hat to the better pitcher, dude."

[Banedon]

Ugh...Pierre needs the Willie Mays Hayes treatment...

 

"Every time you hit a ball in the air, I want you to do 10 pushups."

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno flied out to right field

[Flames24Rulz]

wow, those were 2 pretty easy outs.

[Outshined_One]

That was, what, 6 pitches?

[Flames24Rulz]

more 1st pitch swinging.

 

Ugh.

[Banedon]

5 pitches? 6 pitches? I forgot how many Pierre took.

[Fred Hornkohl]

[CubfaninCA]

aaaaah might be a no-hitter.

[Master Shake]

Make that 3 easy outs.

 

I told the wife "Just watch. Barry will hit a homer on his first pitch his first time up, then repeat the performance on his second at-bat"

 

 

Want your piss poor team to look good? Play the Cubs.

[Guancous]

Ensberg and Pujols both homered.

[UMFan83]

What if the Cubs lost like 16 in a row?

[Banedon]

aaaaah might be a no-hitter.

 

JINX!!! That might be the earliest jinx ever...Hill hasn't even thrown a pitch! #-o

[badger1679666666]

Jose Mesa serves up a Pujols 3 run shot to give STL a 4-2 lead in the 8th.

[Banedon]

What if the Cubs lost like 16 in a row?

 

I believe.

[Master Shake]

Woah! He threw a strike!

[hrowengartner]

I don't think it would matter if they lost 16 in a row, they would just blame it on Lee being on the DL.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Winn doubled to left field

[Guancous]

I still like Rich Hill but his two pitches seem suited for the bullpen.

[Flames24Rulz]

ok, I can't be the only one that didn't see that coming.
