09/04 Pittsburgh (Maholm) @ CUBS (Zambrano) 1:20 CDT, WGNTV

I thought we might have a chance but I just remembered Rusch is going to pitch next.

 

You try to get out but they just pull you right back in again.

[illiniguy]

hopefully we double switch and leave moore in for cedeno.

[Jehrico]

Moore, pinch hitting for Novoa, hit by pitch, Blanco to second

 

Moore hit by his first major league pitch. Can Scott say "Adam Greenberg?" Let's hope he gets another plate appearance, unlike Greenberg.

 

Can anyone else recall any other team having two rookies getting HBP by the first pitch of their careers in such a short span? It can't be that common.

seeing as it was a slow curve and not to his head, I'm sure Moore will get a couple of more ABs.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have hit 37 batters in their last 61 games

[Fred Hornkohl]

Paulino walked , Doumit to second

[Brian]

I hate you Glendon.

We ain't loveable losers anymore, baby. Just pathetic ones.

[YearofDaCubs]

Rusch is just plain terrible. I don't care about how much money he has remaining on his contract, any other GM would have released him long ago.

[Balsa]

THIS SUCKS.

 

I really needed Z to propel me to first place, I'm only like 5 points away. Now I'll be lucky to freakin' break even today.

 

UGH.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Castillo flied out to left center field
