08/29 CUBS (Zambrano) @ Pittsburgh (Maholm) 6:05 CDT, WGN TV

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I just saw the highlights and the errors which aided in the Pirates scoring their first 4 runs. How come only 1 was unearned?

 

Actually, 2 were unearned.

 

Oh, thanks.

 

Wow, I thought Bynum hit that out. :shock:

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS with 5 walks in the game. First time since Sat 05 Aug against these same Pirates.

 

Go CUBS !!

Torres in (7th) to pitch, Randa in (9th) at 3b for Pittsburgh

[Brian]

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lee blooped a single to right center field , Bynum to third, Ramirez to second

[UMFan83]

How does Bynum not score there...

[Soriano12]

Bynum needs to score on that play..no excuses with his speed.

 

This guy is Alou Jr.

[Brian]

How does Bynum not score there...

 

somehow his speed has gone into a slump ;)

[Jim Ignatowski]

How does Bynum not score there...

 

Wendall Kim coaching third? :lol:

[Soriano12]

Bynum is a bum

 

get this joke off the team.

[UMFan83]

Cubs blunders on the basepaths do them in again.

 

This kinda crap happens every night.

 

I hope the Pirates do overtake the Cubs. We don't deserve to be ahead of any teams.
