4/30 Cubs (Hill) @ Pirates (Duke) 6:05PM WCIU/720/XM185

[Balsa]

Jack Wilson is our doom.

 

In other news, it's really sad about the Cardinals right now.

[TruffleShuffle]

Adam Kennedy gets thrown out at 2nd by a good 10 feet. The announcers are trying to not rip the crap out of the Cards, but it's apparently getting hard not to.

 

i would hope they wouldn't rip the cards... that would be classless. Anyone with half a brain knows why they're making these mental mistakes.

At the very least, Kip Wells' head is clearly not in the game. And it's pretty hard to blame him.

 

Earlier in the game he made three mental mistakes in a row that basically cost the Cards a run - and then almost forgot to cover first to end the inning.

[Jazz]

This quick inning is very nice.

[TruffleShuffle]

wow pirates radio guy just said the cubs bullpen hasn't allowed an inherited runner to score in about two weeks - 23 inherited runners left on since the last one scored. That's impressive.

 

(knock on wood)

[98navigator]

Wilson out to Ram to end the inning

[inari]

Nice and quick inning there.

[seanimal]

Sweet, 1-2-3

 

Lets get some runs.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

very good inn. rich....keep it rollin and lets get some runs

[Balsa]

What the hell is going on at that ballpark in between innings?

[jersey cubs fan]

69 thru 5 for Hill, he's officially cruising.

 

 

And in a related story, the Cubs apparantly did not figure out Duke in their one decent outing against him last year. And they continue to suck vs LHP, despite the front office and managerial stance that they need more LH bats in the lineup. The OPS vs LHP is 111 points below the OPS vs RHP.

 

Get more guys who can hit lefties!

[Shilzzz]

[BCVM22]

69 pitches for Rich through 5.
