"Clocks". Very nice touch.

 

What was the last time a Cub reached base?

 

Izturis's single in the 14th was our last baserunner.

[Jazz]

by the way this is going, we'll play right into tommorows 2:20 start time.

[SouthSideRyan]

"Clocks". Very nice touch.

 

What was the last time a Cub reached base?

 

Iztruis in the 14th. He was then doubled up with Zambrano. The last runner stranded was in the 10th.

[Brian]

I wonder if they'll bring Miller and Marshall up because i don't think either one will be able to pitch as much as will be needed with the BP the way it is now.

Hill in to pitch for the CUBS

[Transmogrified Tiger]

"Clocks". Very nice touch.

 

What was the last time a Cub reached base?

 

Neifi got to second base with Dusty in the dugout a few minutes ago, IIRC.

 

No, not Dusty, himself

I knew we would regret not re-signing Jose Macias.

[Sammy Sofa]

The only way this could be truly awesome and insane would be if Kerry Wood: Super Closer magically burst forth from the earth beneath the pitcher's mound.

[OleMissCub]

speak of the devil, i believe that game was against South Alabama, Juan Pierre's alma mater.

 

Do you recall if that game was in Mobile? I remember going to the latter half of a really, really long game at Stanky Field a few years back. The lights were on...we were drunk.....

 

It was a home game because I remember going back to my apartment afterwards and telling my girlfriend to leave me alone and not talk to me.

[da bears]

What time is the game tomorrow. Hill starts off good.

[Sammy Sofa]

SWEET! Rich Hill in relief! Somebody listened to me!

[cheapseats]

"Clocks". Very nice touch.

That made me laugh. Twice.

 

I'm immature.

Hendry is ordering his second large pepperoni pizza of the game.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I decided to go get food because I figured I might be here awhile. Hill looks good.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Munson struck out swinging

Even though he has been horrible in AAA, when was the last time Jerome Williams pitched for Iowa? Is he rested or did he start recently?

[UMFan83]

by the way this is going, we'll play right into tommorows 2:20 start time.

 

2:20? I'm pretty sure its 1:05

[Fred Hornkohl]

Everett grounded out to second, 4-3

[Sammy Sofa]

I heart Rich Hill: Bullpen Stallion.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

by the way this is going, we'll play right into tommorows 2:20 start time.

 

2:20? I'm pretty sure its 1:05

 

He's in Carolina

Ausmus singled to center field
