Way to get picked off there Juan.

[Sammy Sofa]

Way to suck at the one thing you're supposed to be good at, Juan.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot blooped a single to right field

I will say this about The Riot...the man knows how to take his pitches.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marmol in to pitch for the CUBS

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lofton grounded an IF single to the pitcher

[goonys evil twin]

For a team that gets on base so rarely, they probably have one of the highest instances of making outs on the basepaths. 3rd most caught stealing, 3rd most sac hits (I assume that's sac bunts plus "moving runners over"), 3rd most grounded into double plays. Not sure where they rank in lined/popped into double plays.

 

 

Aggressiveness is a nice word, it just doesn't translate well to success in baseball.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Garciaparra singled to right field , Lofton to second

[Fred Hornkohl]

Drew homered to left field , Lofton & Garciaparra scored

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Ugh, c'mon Carlos.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 12-34 when the opponent hits at least 2 HRs.... 46-52 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kent flied out to shallow right field

[TruffleShuffle]

Carlos Marmol is firmly committed to the Cubs' quest for Fecal League supremacy!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Eyre in to pitch for the CUBS

[soccer10k]

That will help in the Fecal League Standings.

[Jim Ignatowski]

Well that Drew smash gave a pretty good view of the ballpark. Looks like the drunk tanks are mostly full, but the grandstands look about empty from the bases to the foul poles.
