09/08 CUBS (Guzman) @ Atlanta (Hudson) 7:05 CT, WGN TV

[CubColtPacer]

And Jacque grounds into a DP to end that inning.

 

7-4 Braves going into the bottom of the 8th.

[CubColtPacer]

Novoa in to pitch for the Cubs.

[CubColtPacer]

Novoa hit Diaz, then Orr struck out, then Diaz stole 2nd.

[CubColtPacer]

Good play by Theriot-single up the middle, Diaz believes it has gone through-goes around 3rd, Theriot throws home, Diaz goes back to 3rd-but they get the hitter hung up between 1st and 2nd, and Lee tags him out for the second out.

[CubColtPacer]

and a WP scores Diaz. 8-4 Braves

[sweetpeteman]

Giles singles on a ground ball to second basemen Theriot, Giles out, 4-2-6-3. Diaz to third

 

 

Diaz scores on a pass ball.

[YearofDaCubs]

We love you Novoa!

[CubColtPacer]

Renteria grounds out, and the Cubs are down to their last 3 outs.

 

8-4 Braves

 

Due up: Murton, Cedeno, Soto.

[CubColtPacer]

Wickman in to pitch for the Braves.

[CubColtPacer]

Wait a minute-the Braves announcer just said that Wickman has to work on the hole on the mound because somebody bigger than him was out there before him-but who would that be?

[JeffH]

Chances Cedeno does something stupid in this inning: 78%

[CubColtPacer]

Bynum pinch-hits for Soto, and Bynum is the team's last chance.

[CubColtPacer]

The Cubs lose again!

 

BTW, the Braves announcers just announced that Howard has hit #56 for the Phillies tonight.

[JeffH]

Bynum pinch-hits for Soto

 

That's like deciding that Fettucine Alfredo is too fattening, so you have a bacon and mayonnaise sandwich instead.

[Schwarber Fan]

put another L on the board boys!

 

Go Wade tomorrow!

Bynum pinch-hits for Soto

 

That's like deciding that Fettucine Alfredo is too fattening, so you have a bacon and mayonnaise sandwich instead.

 

Unbelievably, Bynum was one of the best pinch hitters left on the bench tonight when he pinch-hit.

 

Edit: I'm not complimenting Bynum that much in that comment-but when looking down the rest of the Bench, there wasn't much there.

Bynum pinch-hits for Soto

Or you can be like Jim Hendry and combine the two!

[Jim Ignatowski]

Cubs on pace to lose 98 games and fall short of the psychologically important 100 loss mark. They can't get anything right.

Don't sell them short.

 

The losing rate has increased recently.
