CUBS are 0-22 when they trail by 5 runs or more at the end of 8 innings.

 

Go CUBS !!

 

I would say there aren't many teams that fair very well when trailing by 5 runs or more after 8 innings.

Mabry, pinch hitting for Pagan, struck out swinging

[Tim Burr]

I need to think of a funny nickname for Capps.

 

How about "Bottle"?

Nevin, pinch hitting for Theriot, struck out swinging

[Jim Ignatowski]

That certainly was fun. Is 23 under .500 the low point of the season?

[coldsteel]

I don't feel too bad, because the Cubs are still playing WINNING BASEBALL (even with this roster) since their low-water record mark earlier this season.

Cubs will always play winning baseball since their low water mark....otherwise it wouldn't have been their low water mark.

[coldsteel]

so are the Pirates, so everyone can feel pretty good about their teams.

David Price, here we come!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

David Price, here we come!

 

And hopefully Dusty won't ruin your arm like another former Vanderbilt* pitcher.

 

Guzman threw 93 pitches in 3 IP? Rusch threw 55 in 2? Sheesh.

 

*Who transferred to USC before getting drafted by the Cubs.

[Mark Priors Calves]

CUBS are 0-22 when they trail by 5 runs or more at the end of 8 innings.

 

Go CUBS !!

 

I would say there aren't many teams that fair very well when trailing by 5 runs or more after 8 innings.

 

I find it amazing the cubs have been trailing by 5 or more runs 22 times heading into the 9th inning.
