[Fred Hornkohl]

Finley walked

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 27-27 when they allow fewer than 4 walks.... 28-52 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[ToupeeOnFire]

Did Guzman leave early with an injury?

 

a cramp

Cramps only seem to happen to Cub pitchers. Seriously, can we get these guys liquids in between innings.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Dumpster!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Vizquel tripled to right center field , Finley scored

[Soriano12]

Dumpster..you are a failure in life.

[ToupeeOnFire]

I bet we score 2 in the bottom of the 9th.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Wow....the NL west owns the Cubs.

[Balsa]

Oh man, did Ronny get caught stealing with two outs and the meat of the lineup at bat?!?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Wow....the NL west owns the Cubs.

 

All of MLB owns the Cubs.

It was a wild pitch that didn't get very far. Cedeno should have stayed put. He was out easily.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Technically yes.... but he was trying to advance on a pitch that got away from the catcher.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Wow....the NL west owns the Cubs.

 

All of MLB owns the Cubs.

 

Winning record against the NL central by a couple of games. Not anything to brag about, but the Cubs aren't owned in their own division.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pagan popped out to second base

[Soriano12]

CALL UP FELIX PIE AND ERIC PATTERSON NOW! I AM SICK OF WATCHING THE CURRENT TRASH ON THE FIELD!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre grounded out to short, 6-3

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

When did Omar Vizquel find the fountain of youth?

[ToupeeOnFire]

Cubs are set to gain ground in the fecal league. Both KC and TB won their games. This upcoming series with the Pirates is huge.

Good point. Keep these guys away from Dusty and his coaching staff.

You might be right.....3 weeks is all it takes for Baker and staff to ruin a

young player.

Random depressing observation following yet another Cubs loss:

 

The Cubs are more likely to end up with Pedro Feliz over the winter than they are Jason Schmidt.
