5/24: Cubs (Maddux) @ Marlins (Moehler) - 12:05 p.m. CT- WGN

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cabrera walked (intentionally)

Random stat:

 

Among qualified batters, Pierre has the lowest OBP of any leadoff hitter in baseball. By 35 points.

 

How about OBP among all players that have started every game in the season?

 

I dunno about that - it would be hard to check on since different teams have played different numbers of games thus far, but I can tell you this:

 

Pierre's OBP in the leadoff spot is the worst among qualified batters in MLB.

Cedeno's OBP in the #2 spot is second worst among batters with 75 AB or more at that position in the order.

 

Our OBP in the 1 and 2 spots in the order is actually worse so far this year than it was in 2005, when we had that fabulous 1-2 punch of Patterson and Perez.

I don't care about the hot start Maddux had, he better not be resigned next year.

[da bears]

Wow this is almost comical. By the way, there's no way that can be a freaking single.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Borchard homered to right center field, Jacobs & Cabrera scored

[E.J.]

HAHAHAHAHAHA. 3-run homer for Borchard. Cubs losing 6-3 now. This is just funny stuff at this point.

No. What did he say?

[YearofDaCubs]

At least now we can stop talking about how Maddux has regained his old form and was going to win the Cy Young award.

[E.J.]

HAHA. Anyone else hear the "Maddux, you're getting shelled" scream from the stands? Good stuff. This team is so bad it's funny.

[goonys evil twin]

Would now be a bad time to mention Maddux's ERA is over 4.30?

[C.C.]

SWWWWEEEEEPPPPP!

[da bears]

Well I'm not watching this anymore. Time for NBA championship videos on ESPN 2! :roll:

[Buford T Justice]

Sportsline says that was a grand slam how is that with 2 runners on base?

[muntjack]

Did anybody else hear the guy in the background?

"Maddux, you're getting shelled!"

But, but, but we haven't been dealing with a full deck, it's the injuries!!
